ܙܘܦܐ
Classical Syriac edit
Etymology 1 edit
Related to Akkadian 𒍪𒌑𒁍 (/zūpu/), Hebrew אֵזוֹב (ʾēzṓḇ), Jewish Palestinian Aramaic אֵיזוֹבָא (ʾēzōḇa), and Ancient Greek ὕσσωπος (hússōpos) with its many European descendants.
Pronunciation edit
- (Classical Edessan) IPA(key): [ˈzo.p˭ɑ]
- (Eastern Syriac) IPA(key): [ˈzo.p˭ɑ]
- (Western Syriac) IPA(key): [ˈzu.p˭o]
The unaspirated [p˭], foreign to Syriac phonology, is due to there being a Greek π (p) being rendered in the other word, so that the two words spelled the same got fused in pronunciation, both being considered of Greek origin by Syrians.
