Malay

Etymology

Ultimately derived from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian and Proto-Austronesian *asu, presumably through a replacement of the last syllable in Proto-Malayic *asu(ʔ) to create a polite register form, perhaps by analogy to similar process in Javanese. Compare the alternation in Javanese masuk, manjing (to enter) and ésuk, ènjing (morning).

However, such an alternation to make polite register form typically uses -ntan in Malay, and anjing in particular might have been directly borrowed from Old Javanese añjiṅ. Compare Malay alu, antan (pestle) and piama, piantan (rice-planting season), for which no Javanese counterparts exist and thus could not have been borrowed.[1]

The form asu is preserved only dialectally, and also in gigi asu (canine tooth).[2]

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [aɲd͡ʒeŋ]
