يسروع

يسروع

Arabic

Etymology

Probably from an Aramaic term, as well as يَرَقَان‎ (yaraqān, “mildew; larvae”), since caterpillars aren’t swift like the root س ر ع‎ (s-r-ʿ) means but slippery or viscous what שׁ־ר־ע‎ / ܫ-ܪ-ܥ‎ (š-r-ʿ) means, and the prefigation of ya- is more likely in Aramaic in general, plus the vocalization variation bolsters the suspicion.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /jas.ruːʕ/, /jus.ruːʕ/
