Proto-Indo-European[edit]

Alternative reconstructions[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Appears to be suffixed/extended from the root *h₂eh₁- as found in Palaic [script needed] (hāri), [script needed] (hānta, to heat up, intransitive), Proto-Celtic *ā-tis (furnace, oven) and PIE *h₂éh₁-tēr (fire);[6][7] see also *h₂eh₃- (to burn, be hot). Alternatively from *h₂ed-s- with dissimilation; see reconstruction notes.

Root[edit]

*h₂eHs-

  1. to be dry, to dry
  2. to burn, to glow
  3. hearth
  4. ashes

Reconstruction[edit]

The long-vowel forms reflecting *ās- < *HaHs- have been explained as taken from a reduplicated perfect *h₂e-h₂s-, thus *h₂es- could be original, nicely explaining the short vowels.[3][4] However, the morphological motivation for deriving nouns from such a stem *h₂e-h₂s- is unclear (but cf. *kʷé-kʷl-os, *bʰé-bʰr-us).
On the other hand, Kloekhorst argues that Hittite 𒄩𒀀𒀸 (ḫāš, ash), 𒄩𒀸𒊭𒀀𒀸 (ḫāššāš, fireplace, hearth) (and therefore also Old Latin āsa (altar) and cognates) can only reflect *h₂eh₁s-.[8][9] Beekes interprets this *h₂eh₁s- as dissimilated regularly from *h₂ed-s- in pre-PIE, from the root *h₂ed- as found in Hittite 𒄩𒀀𒋾 (ḫāti).[10] To this root, he and Puhvel[11] add Ancient Greek ἄζω (ázō), and Kroonen adds Proto-Germanic *azgǭ.[12]
