Alternative forms edit
- إِسّ (ʔiss)
Etymology edit
The Arabic root ء س س (ʔ-s-s) is weakly developed; thus is concluded that all other words in it are denominal from this noun and this noun is, similarly to other architectural terms, borrowed from Aramaic אוּשָּׁא (ʾūšā, “foundation”), from Akkadian 𒀳 (/uššu/, “foundation”), whereas in reference to remains of ashes and hence campsite, or in bedouin rather than urban signification, it can be comprehended as inherited from Proto-Semitic *ʔiš- (“fire”), quod vide.
