Etymology
root, apparently with the suffix. Various problematic comparisons to either or  (compare, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬,  etc.) have been unfruitful; a long vowel  would be expected in the latter case, and the morphology of the  suffix remains opaque. One possibility is that is a borrowing from  via an  intermediate which could explain the devoicing.
