  83-95

Abstract

 The ancient Persian root of the word WAXS is wak- which means “to speak” and its Avestan root is vak- which means “to tell” and vaxs in Yasna 17: 44 has used as the singular female subject pronoun, but it has been used in middle Persian period as soul/spirit, and philologists have presented the latter meaning. The researcher believes that it can be defined as the TALKING SOUL, and based on Manichean texts, it should be considered as the soul in which the words of God have been planted. The word WAXSur (prophet) has been used for Zarathustra in Zoroastrian Pahlavi text too. Even though this word is not found in Old Persian texts, its equivalent and associated meanings, SPEECH and soul (The TALKING SOUL), can be found. Naser Khosrow considered SPEECH as the food of soul and had spoken many times about the expression of the TALKING SOUL, the perfected soul, in Manichean texts. He described SPEECH in a way that we can substitute soul for it, and they can be considered as one. Perhaps this has been derived from the word WAXS.
