ܥܙܩܬܐ

Alternative forms

Etymology
The spelling is a Learned borrowing from Classical Syriac ܥܙܩܬܐ (ʿezzaqtā, ʿezqəṯā) while the native pronunciation /ʕɪsqəθa/ is from the older form /ʕɪzqəθa/ through devoicing of /z/, Inherited from Aramaic [Term?]; compare Turoyo ܥܝܣܱܩܬ݂ܐ (cisäqṯo) and Arabic عَزَقَة (ʕazaqa).
