آش
Moroccan Arabic
Etymology
From Arabic أَيُّ شَيْء (ʔayyu šayʔ, “what thing”).
Pronunciation
Pronoun
آشْ • (ʔāš)
- (interrogative) what?
Persian
Etymology
Perhaps from a Turkic language, see Common Turkic *aš. [1], however there seems to be an unexplained mismatch in vowel length.
Compare Azerbaijani aş, Bashkir аш (aş), Yakut ас (as).
Alternatively, inherited from Middle Persian [Term?] (/āš/), a hapax legomenon found in the Vendidad, although this word is claimed to be misread [2].
Connections with Sanskrit आश (āśa, “food”) are also sometimes proposed, but the correspondance would not be regular.
