ܣܣܐ
Classical SyriacEdit
Etymology 1Edit
Inherited from Proto-Semitic *sūs- (“moth; insect especially one that bites or chews up materials”), from Proto-Afroasiatic *suʔw- (“a kind of insect”); cognates with Akkadian 𒄴 (sāsu /aḫ/, “moth”), Jewish Babylonian Aramaic סָסָא (sāsā), Hebrew סָס (sās), Arabic سَاس (sās), سُوس (sūs), سُوسَة (sūsa), Amharic ፃፄ (ṣ́aṣ́e). Compare Old Armenian ցեց (cʿecʿ), Middle Persian sʾs (sās, “bug”), Persian ساس (sâs), and Ancient Greek σής (sḗs), Semitic loanwords.
