ارز

See also: أرز‎ and أزر‎

Ottoman Turkish

Etymology

The vocalization ürüz suggests borrowing from Arabic أُرُزّ‎ (ʔuruzz), as also رز‎ (rüz, “rice”) has its Arabic correspondence رُزّ‎ (ruzz), and this word is not found elsewhere in Turkic, the vocalization erz is deemed unexplained but is probably the more common Arabic vocalization أَرُزّ‎ (ʔaruzz) which should yield in Turkish *erüz but was elided through the form *eriz like Ottoman patterns usually variate between CVCC and CVCiC, the latter being colloquial and the former literary upcorrection.
