ܟܘܝܿܠ

Kerasian

Etymology

From Late Middle Kerasian كوىكىدجين - quekejin, from Early Middle Kerasian كوىكايدجين - kwekaijin, 'كوىكايدجين - kwekaijinə, كوىكايدجيني - kwekaijini ("to descend; to lower; to plummet"), from Old Kerasian كوىكيٰدجيني - kwekījini ("to descend; to lower; to plummet"), from North Aradeshi kwakisigini ("to descend; to lower; to plummet"), from Aradeshi (ku)kwakisigini ("to descend; to lower; to plummet"), from kwa ("to; towards") + kisigini ("heel; foot").

Notes

For the above Latin-script transliterations, the distinction between ⟨c⟩ and ⟨k⟩ is aspiration. ⟨k⟩ is aspirated: /kʰ/; ⟨c⟩ is not: /k/. Also, ⟨oe⟩ represents the close-mid front rounded vowel /œ/, instead of the vowel diphthong /oe/.
