- ‘Table’, Sw meza. From OAr mēz (R: 126), of disputed origin. Morano (2019: 332) follows Reinhardt (1894) in stating that this word is from Portuguese mesa, but Persian mēz is a perfect formal fit. Behnstedt & Woidich (2011b: 208) conflate the two etyma but justify it with a supposition that the Persian may be borrowed from the Portuguese, which is rejected by Iranists, and on its face, very unlikely.
