אשון

Derived from Aramaic אֲשׁוּנָא (ʾăšūnā), אָשׁוּן (ʾāšūn, “hard”), where original ח (ḥ) or ע (ʿ) was replaced by א (ʾ) in one of the dialects, where א (ʾ), ח (ḥ), ע (ʿ) (and sometimes ה (h)) all merge to the same sound. Compare the alternative form, עָשׁוּן ('ashún). The same also happened in Samaritan Hebrew.
