pronunciation
[edit]Kunitzsch has "[ǔ′ zə]", but, assuming that's not a typo for "(ǔ′ zə)" (that is, an approximation of what the Arabic pronunciation would be if it were actually Arabic), that's unlikely. K admits that he often made ad hoc blends of Latin consonants with Arabic vowels, which isn't a conventional way to pronounce Latinized Arabic, so while he's an excellent source for etymologies, he's not a RS for pronunciation. (Not that there are any.) Apart from Rumhill, who has /əˈʒɑː/, the few sources seem to agree that the 'h' is silent, that the consonant is a simple /z/ (not /ʒ/), and that the stress is on the first syllable, which it would have to be in a Latinized pronunciation. I guess the question then is whether the 'a' is /æ/ (because it's in a closed syllable, "Az.ha"), or /eɪ/ (because it's in an open syllable, "A.za", due to the 'h' being silent), or /ɑː/. Davis has <ȧz′>, which is none of the above (though I don't know what it is supposed to be. Perhaps that where K got [ǔ′ zə] from. He took a lot of pronunciations from Davis.) /æ/ would make the name sound like the phrase "as a", so we'd need to pronounce the 'h' to make it intelligible. So I'm going to assume that it's pronounced as if it were "A.za" (that is, /ˈeɪzə/) to at least have something. If anyone knows better, please share! — kwami (talk) 02:02, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
