آش

Perhaps from a Turkic language, see Common Turkic *aš. [1], however there seems to be an unexplained mismatch in vowel length.

Compare Azerbaijani aş, Bashkir аш (aš), Yakut ас (as).

Alternatively, inherited from Middle Persian [Term?] (/āš/), a hapax legomenon found in the Vendidad, although this word is claimed to be misread [2].

Connections with Sanskrit आश (āśa, “food”) are also sometimes proposed, but the correspondance would not be regular.
