عوسج
Arabic
Etymology
Put to Akkadian 𒀀𒊭𒄖 (a-ša-gu /ašāgu, ešēgu/, “a kind of acacia”), though CAD rather wants to connect شَوْك (šawk) glossing it – while it is just the usual word for “thorns” – Prosopis farcta, which is known as يَنْبُوت (yanbūt). Compare also the Iranian أُشَّق (ʔuššaq, “Ferula marmarica, Ferula aucheri, Ferula ammoniacum”).

Noun
