ܟܘܼܣܵܐ
Assyrian Neo-Aramaic
Etymology 1
Disputed:
- Most likely a metathesis of ܣܲܘܟܵܐ (sawkā, “twig”), from Aramaic סַוְכָּא (sawkā, “branch, bough, twig”), with the usage for “hair” seen in the cognate Turoyo ܣܰܘܟܐ (sawko, “hair”); compare also in Classical Syriac ܣܘܟܬܐ (sawkəṯā, “branch”).
- Also proposed is Classical Syriac ܩܘܨܬܐ (qawṣəṯā, “curl”), but very unlikely and posing many issues.
- Also proposed to be derived from the verb ܟܵܣܹܐ (kāsē, “to hide, conceal”).
- Also suggested to be a borrowing from Russian коса́ (kosá, “braid”).
