asinus

Etymology
Usually compared to 🇨🇬 (which cannot be its direct ancestor), and, just like other IE words for "ass", must be traced back to an unknown source in Asia Minor (compare Hieroglyphic 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬). The lack of rhotacism of the single intervocalic -s- after a short vowel would point to a recent borrowing.
