Etymology

edit

An Iranian, probably Kurdish borrowing: compare Northern Kurdish teşî, Central Kurdish تەشی (teşî), تەشوو (teşû), Southern Kurdish تەشی (teşî), Laki تەشی (teşî), تەشۊنِک (teşünik, “spindle”). Also from Kurdish: Hulaulá taši (“hand-spindle”),[1][2] Chaldean Neo-Aramaic ܬܲܫܝܼܵܐ (taššiya, “spindle”),[3][4] Lishán Didán taši, tašši (“distaff”).[5][6] Dialectal Turkish terşi, teşi, teşik, tişe (“apparatus for skeining wool”), dialectal Azerbaijani teşi (“spindle”) are usually considered Armenian borrowings.[7][8][9][10] The Kurdish too is often treated as an Armenian loan,[8][11] but the opposite direction of borrowing is more likely because թեշի(կ) (tʻeši(k)) is not attested in Old or Middle Armenian and is limited to a few dialects, while the Kurdish is present in Central and Southern varieties and has a plausible native etymology (see below).

Ultimately probably from Proto-Iranian *častra- (“spindle”), whence also Munji čašīkȧ, čéša, Yidgha [script needed] (čɛšo), Pashto څاښی (śāẍay), څاشی (śāšay), Yagnobi ташк (tašk), Ormuri [script needed] (tisk, “spindle”),[12][13][14][15] Shahrudi taši, teši (“twister, spindle”). Note that the *č- → t- dissimilation is regular in Kurdish.[16]
