. The word is also found in 🇨🇬 as. Iraqi folk etymology derives it from, supposedly written on cans used by the British armed forces during the of World War I (or similar anecdotes).

Some scholars link it per metathesis with Biblical 🇨🇬, an obscure word usually considered a place name, which in, however, was also interpreted by the Rabbinic tradition as “rice”.
