<i>Shah</i> is king in Persian, like Raja/Raya among us.
<i>Kshatriya</i> is Sanskrit for the ruling and soldier varna. The equivalent in ancient Avestan is <i>not</i> Shah, like the ignorami contributing to wackypedia imagine, but <b><i>kshayat(h)iya</i></b>. More fool them (wackypedia), exhibiting their ignorance everywhere and for everyone to see. Even I, a non-Iranian not conversant in Farsi let alone ancient Avestan, know this much.
The word <i>Satrap</i> is of Persian origin, as far as I can recall, not originally a European word. It was used to designate little kingdoms or regions paying tribute to the Persian high king. The Europeans (Greeks and/or Romans) understood its meaning and repeated the word Satrap in their references to Persia's regions. From there it entered English and thus I can find the word in an English dictionary.
The (somewhat later, probably) Persian word Shah, king, <i>is</i> derived from Kshayathiya, as is logical when you consider that the position of rulers was given to those from among the soldier/warrior class. Hence a Shah was of the Kshayathiya class.
Kshayathiya was used as one of the self-designations by a King Darius in his edict, who wrote in ancient Avestan.
Doubtless, ignorant Pakis imagining themselves the inheritors of the grand Persian civilisation thought they knew a thing or two about Sanskrit, Avestan and 'European'. Mwahaha.
So now that the blatant ignorance of wackypedia on this topic has been discussed (see also <b>Post 26</b> below), the question remains: what is the 'European' equivalent to Kshatriya/Kshayathiya
Of course it is not Knight, just 'cause the word starts with a 'K' in front of another consonant. Although I won't put it past the wackypedians for thinking themselves clever to invent this next misstep.
Wackypedia. One eventually learns to appreciate it for the never-ending stream of ignorance, mistakes and propaganda. That's the kind of <i>encyclopaedia</i> one gets when every and any person, however ignorant on a chosen topic, gets to <i>contribute</i>.
Hopefully no teacher or school uses it as a teaching tool, other than to teach the evident moral lessons of creating a <i>user contributed</i> encyclopaedia.
