Egyptian Arabic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Assimilated form of Arabic وَجْه (wajh) based on a palatalized pronunciation of the -j- ([ɟ], [ʝ], [dʒ], [ʒ]), which is uncommon in northern Egypt. This word has traditionally been explained by positing that such a pronunciation was more prevalent in the past, but the evidence for this assumption has recently been subject to doubt. Alternatively, this word may be a loan from Saʽidi Arabic or from Levantine Arabic (cf. North Levantine Arabic وش (wišš), وج (wijj)).[1][2]
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
وش • (wišš) m (plural وشوش (wišū́š))
