Prophet
A native Persian compound (‘message’ + ‘bearer’), not an Arabic loanword. Same finality-of-prophethood risk as Arabic’s nabi (Muhammad as khatam al-anbiya applies equally in Shia Islam) - must be paired with fuller Christological titles so ‘prophet’ is not read as Jesus’s complete or final identity.
