Etymology

[edit]

Probably from an Aramaic term, as well as يَرَقَان (yaraqān, mildew; larvae), since caterpillars aren’t swift like the root س ر ع (s-r-ʕ) means but slippery or viscous what שׁ־ר־ע / ܫ-ܪ-ܥ (š-r-ʿ) means, and the prefigation of ya- is more likely in Aramaic in general, plus the vocalization variation bolsters the suspicion.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /jas.ruːʕ/, /jus.ruːʕ/
