Etymology
Borrowed from Aramaic מַיְשָׁא / ܡܰܝܫܳܐ (mayšā, “nettle tree”), from Akkadian 𒄑𒈩 (GIŠ.MES /mēsu/), from Sumerian 𒄑𒈩 (GIŠ.MES /mes/), apparently also the nettle tree, contrasted with 𒄑𒈩𒈣𒃶𒈾 (GIŠ.MES.MÁ.GAN.NA /mesmakannu/, literally “mes from Makan”), a tree from the East used for wood, apparently sissoo (Dalbergia sissoo(Please check if this is already defined at target. Replace {{taxlink}}
with {{taxfmt}}
if already defined. Add nomul=1 if not defined.)). In Hebrew, the former is found as מַיִשׁ (mayiš, “nettle tree”), the later as מְסֻכָּן (məsukkān).
