Etymology 1

From earlier hasi, from English horse and possibly from Ewe asi (“wife (of a god); worshipper”), Fon asi (“wife (of a god); worshipper”). The sense "someone possessed by a spiritual entity" is possibly also a semantic loan from Twi Akan ɔpɔnkɔ (“horse; worshipper”). Compare Maroon Spirit Language as, has (“horse; spirit medium”), Haitian Creole chwal (“horse; someone possessed by a spirit”), Krio ɔs (“horse”)

Noun

asi

1. horse

     Gado sabi san a doe, a no gi hasi toetoe.

     [Gado sabi san a du, a no gi asi tutu.]

     God knew what he was doing, he didn't give horses horns.

2. someone who is possessed by a winti (“spiritual entity”)
   • 1986, J. Schoffelmeer, quoting Walter (a Creole seer possessed by an Amerindian spirit called Fransi), “Het raadplegen van een geestenmeester [Consulting a shaman]”, in OSO. Tijdschrift voor Surinaamse taalkunde, letterkunde en geschiedenis‎^[6], Instituut ter Bevordering van de Surinamistiek, →ISSN, page 70:

     En solanka (=solanga) mi Fransi m[ati] dee bari na j'as (=asi) disi tapoe m[ati] ree (=leki) fa mi ben sjweri na tap sjoro m[ati] jere, na so mi Fransi dee go m[ati] tee na Kradosoe tee (=teki) j'as baka.

     [Èn solanga mi Fransi mati e bari na yu asi disi tapu mati leki fa mi ben sweri na tapu syoro mati yere, na so mi Fransi de go mati te na Kradosu teki yu asi baka.]

     And as long as I, Fransi, friend, will proclaim through this your spirit medium, friend, as I have sworn onshore, mind you, friend, this way, I, Fransi, will continue, friend, until God takes your spirit medium back.
