noun (highly polysemous) · head; top; beginning; chief; lid
Meaning
معنی۱
Persian polysemy of سر mirrors how the body is mapped onto space and abstraction: the "head" of anything is its top, beginning, or lead. English does the same with "head of the table" or "head of state," but Persian extends the pattern more broadly.
