كشوث

• كُشُوت‎ (kušūt), كُشُوثَى‎ (kušūṯā), كُشُوثَاء‎ (kušūṯāʔ), كُشُوتاء‎ (kušūtāʔ), أُكْشُوث‎ (ʔukšūṯ), أُكْشُوت‎ (ʔukšūt)

Borrowed from Aramaic כְּשׁוּתָא‎ / ܟܫܽܘܬܳܐ‎ (kəšūṯā), probably from כַּשָׁא‎ / ܟܰܫܳܐ‎ (kašā, “to pile up”) because of the jumbled fashion in which this parasitic plant climbs trees, else from Akkadian 𒃢 (SILA₄ /kasû/), a plant with many small seeds used for spice, fumigation and medicine, just like dodder species.

• IPA^(key): /ku.ʃuːθ/
