Etymology
Of origin. One theory is that it is from ; earliest cuneiform attestations of the name, even instances prior to the founder of the Achaemenid Empire, always end in /-aš/ as opposed to /-uš/, an unexplainable development for 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬 phonologically if the original was the 🇨🇬 /-uš/. This has suggested rather that the later, more well-known 🇨🇬 version is in fact the adaptation, perhaps brought on by the fact that 🇨🇬 a stems never have a final /-š/ in the nominative but u stems do.
