| February 6, 2003 Pedar Sookhteh  The Sacs and Soghdians were a constant menace to the Persians. They were really tough warriors and could not be uprooted easily. I am sure you have heard the terms "pedar sag" and "pedar sukhteh" in Persian. These terms are derived from "pedar Sac" and "pedar Soghdeh" which were used as obscenities implying bastard child of these two tribes. Cyrus the Great was killed in a battle with them. -- Dariush Gilani, "Linguistic connection" Quiz winner: Mahvash Shahegh. Sad Afarin! Do you have an interesting question to suggest for this page?
