אישׁ, אושׁ (Stem assumed in Thes for אִישׁ; existence & meaning somewhat dubious Thes (Add) & most derive אִישׁ from [אִנְשְׁ] √ אנשׁ (q. v.) In favour are plural אֲנָשִׁים, feminine אִשָּׁה = [אִנְשָׁה], lack of proven √ אישׁ, & lack of clear parallels for אישׁ in cognate languages. Against the derivation of אִישׁ from inš is the vocalization (ִ  י, and that fully written, not ֵ), maintained even with suffixes, the (rare) plural אִישִׁים, the impossibility of deriving אִישׁ & אִשָּׁה from same √ (אִשָּׁה from ), the existence of אֱנוֺשׁ as parallel form, and the (exceptional) parallel Aramaic איש (Inscription of Carpentras), also Arabic (compare Frey) "" ; MI, SI, Phoenician אש are not decisive; Sabean has both אסם & אנסם; the former apparently = אִישׁ, the latter אֱנוֺשׁ; but on former compare DHM^{ZK 1884, 360 &} SabDenkm^{37. On the} whole, probability seems to favour √ אישׁ; Thes gave meaning be strong; Dl^{HA 9, Pr 161} compare Assyrian išanu, strong (compare Dl^{w. p. 244}), & proper name יְהוֺאָשׁ; compare also Prät^{LOPh Feb. 1884}; otherwise DHM^{l. e. & ZMG 1883, 330} & especially Nö^{ZMG 1886, 739} Lag^{BN 68}; compare also Wetzst in De^{Psalmen, ed. 4, p. 888} and others see also אנשׁ, אֱנוֺשׁ).
