عَوْسَج (noun)

Etymology: Put to Akkadian 𒀀𒊭𒄖 (ašāgu), though CAD rather wants to connect شَوْك (šawk) glossing both – while the latter is just the usual word for “thorns” – Prosopis farcta, which is known as يَنْبُوت (yanbūt); the term is used at Boğazköy in place of 𒀀𒄯𒁷𒉡 (amurdinnu) which is a thornbush noted for berries and beverage, plausibly boxthorn Lycium, camelthorn bush Alhagi, or just bramble Rubus, however is also found in equivalence with 𒀀𒄖𒌋 (agû), 𒂊𒄖𒌋 (egû), حَاج (ḥāj, “Alhagi”): 𒄿𒄀 (igi) = 𒀀𒃻𒄖 (ašāgu). Compare also the Iranian أُشَّق (ʔuššaq, “Ferula marmarica, Ferula aucheri, Ferula ammoniacum”).
