Etymology

Not attested in Aramaic, but Hebrew אַגָּס (ʾaggā́s, “pear”) and Akkadian 𒄑𒀭𒂵𒋗 (angašu, “pear or plum tree”); as a bridge, an unattested local form of Aramaic may have lent the Arabic emphatisized variant. Compare تُفَّاح (tuffāḥ, “apple”), a lexical entry also missing in documented Aramaic but not in Hebrew.

      About the prune, that is the plum, says Ibn Ḥajjāj that when it is high and old it should not meet the iron, but if necessity calls then the top can be cut and the tree cleaned, and if rot appears on it then it can be warded off by cutting, and the iron should not approach it as long as the stem is smooth and the branches new.
