Root: ā̆s-, davon azd-, azg(h)-
English meaning: to burn
German meaning: `brennen, glühen'
Material: Ai. ā́sa-ḥ `Asche, Staub' (über ásita-ḥ `schwarz' s. *n̥si- `schmutzfarben'); lat. āra ` Altar' (= osk. aasaí `in āra', umbr. are `аrае' usw.), āreō, -ēre `bintrocken, ausgedörrt', āridus `trocken' (davon ardeō `brenne', Partiz. Pass. assus `trocken gebraten'), ārea `freier Platz, Tenne usw.' (eigentl. `ausgebrannte, trockene Stelle'); ahd. essa f., nhd. Esse (*asi̯ōn), urnord. aRina, aisl. arinn `Erhöhung, Feuerstätte', ahd. erin `Diele, Boden' (*azena); toch. AB as- Präs., ās- Perf. und Kausat. `austrocknen', A āsar `trocken'; hett. ḫa-aš-ši-i (ḫaši) Lok. `auf dem Herde' (ḫašaš).

    Vielleicht hierher mir. ān `feurig, leuchtend, edel' (*ās-no-). Über gr. διψά̄ω, πεινά̄ω s. Schwyzer Gr. Gr. 1, 724.

    Da das r in hett. a-a-ri (āri) `wird heiß' nicht zum Stamm gehört, ist lat. āreō nicht von āra zu trennen.

    Formantische Erweiterungen:

    azd- in gr. ἄζω (*az-d-i̯ō) `dörre, trockne', ἄζα f. `trockner Schmutz', ἀζαλέος `dürr, entflammend', ἄδδαυον ξηρόν. Λάκωνες Hes. (-δδ aus -zd-); čech. apoln. ozd `Malzdarre', čech. slov. ozditi `Malz dörren'.

    azgh-? in arm. azazim `dörre' (Meillet Esquisse 33, EM. 70), got. azgo `Asche' (*azgōn). Über das schwierige Verhältnis von germ. *askōn : *az-gōn s. Feist 72b; wieder anders Specht Dekl. 201, 219. Auch ist die Beweiskraft der arm. Beispiele nicht ganz einwandfrei.
