أرز¹
- /ʔarz/
Where it comes from
The tree is native to the region north of Israel and Judea. Borrowed into Arabic and Ge'ez አርዝ (ʾärz) and before the pertinent vowel change into Hebrew אֶרֶז (ʾérez, “cedar”) from Aramaic אַרְזָא / ܐܪܙܐ (ʾarzā, “cedar”), also found in Ugaritic 𐎀𐎗𐎇 (ảrz, “cedar”), continuing Akkadian 𒄑𒂞 (^(GIŠ)ERIN /erēnu, erinnu/) from Sumerian 𒄑𒂞 (^(GIŠ)ERIN /eren/), which also passed into Hittite 𒄑𒂞 (^(GIŠ)ERIN /herin(a)-/, “cedar”) and also Hurrian 𒄑𒂊𒊑𒅎𒁉 (^(GIŠ)e-ri-im-bi /erimbi/), 𒄑𒂊𒊑𒁉 (^(GIŠ)e-ri-bi /eribi/, “cedar”) and thence back into a Hittite alternative form. While Rabin argues for a Hittite origin of the word, the form ʾarz recalls Proto-Iranian *hampr̥sā (“juniper”), which is not remote in meaning – Ancient Greek κέδρος (kédros) also means both cedar and juniper.
