Ehret 1980: 386. Borrowed from one of the Chaga languages (cf., from Bantu group E, Kiw'oso ki=tê id., etc.).
Number:19
Word:drink
\1:Aasax\2:Аасах:wa-t-1
Ehret 1980: 313, 387. According to C. Ehret, the suffix -t- marks continuative action.
Number:20
Word:dry
\1:Aasax\2:Аасах:=rakaš1
Ehret 1980: 189, 388.
Number:21
Word:ear
\1:Aasax\2:Аасах:yatara1
Ehret 1980: 387. Ehret segemnts the form into y-at-ara, where -at- = an old feminine marker and -ara remains unexplained; all of this somewhat dubious.
Ehret 1980: 387. Glossed as 'leg', but South Cushitic languages normally do not distinguish between 'leg' and 'foot'. Quoted as yeëh 'foot' in [Maguire 1928: 259].
Number:32
Word:full
\1:Aasax\2:Аасах:haš-1
Ehret 1980: 381, 388.
Number:33
Word:give
\1:Aasax\2:Аасах:
Not attested. [Ehret 1980: 388] quotes the imperative form ŋe 'give!', which, in the light of local typological data, may be an entirely independent stem from the regular conjugated word.
Ehret 1980: 160, 387. Glossed as 'arm', but South Cushitic languages normally do not distinguish between 'arm' and 'hand'. Quoted as moɲgo 'hand' in [Maguire 1928: 259].
Number:38
Word:head
\1:Aasax\2:Аасах:sog-ok1
Ehret 1980: 350, 387. Quoted as sogok in [Maguire 1928: 259].
Ehret 1980: 386. Transcribed differently, as hadonk, on p. 256 ibid.
Number:42
Word:I
\1:Aasax\2:Аасах:
Not attested. H. Fleming ("Asa and Aramanik", Ethnology, VIII, 1969, p. 5) mentions the existence of the possessive stem -wan 'my'. C. Ehret transcribes the same stem as -ana [Ehret 1980: 283]. This is the only piece of data we have on Aasax pronouns.
Ehret 1980: 368, 388. Polysemy: 'to sit / to stay'.
Number:75
Word:skin
\1:Aasax\2:Аасах:
Not attested.
Number:76
Word:sleep
\1:Aasax\2:Аасах:raʔ #1
Ehret 1980: 388. Dubious, since on p. 219 of the same source the same word is glossed as 'to stay, to remain' (polysemy with 'sleep' rather than 'lie' is highly unlikely).
Number:77
Word:small
\1:Aasax\2:Аасах:ʔara1
Ehret 1980: 316, 386.
Number:78
Word:smoke
\1:Aasax\2:Аасах:toʔusay-ok1

Word:stand
\1:Aasax\2:Аасах:hut-1
Ehret 1980: 388.
Number:80

Ehret 1980: 368, 387.
Number:81
Word:stone
\1:Aasax\2:Аасах:deʔ-ok1
Ehret 1980: 359, 387. Same word as 'mountain' q.v.
Ehret 1980: 387. The same word is quoted as ʔaǯ-et on p. 284 ibid., along with the presumably related ʔaǯota 'day' and ʔaǯa 'sky' (root ʔaǯ-). Quoted as aǯit in [Maguire 1928: 259].
Ehret 1980: 208, 386. Quoted as la:m in [Maguire 1928: 258].
Number:92
Word:walk (go)
\1:Aasax\2:Аасах:
Not attested, except for the imperative form nde 'go!' [Ehret 1980: 386], which may not necessarily represent the same stem as the required indicative forms.
