An element in the name
Yôzâyan “Land of Gift” (UT/184, SD/241). The final element of this name is
zâyan “land”, so its initial element
yô most likely means “gift”, as suggested by several authors (
AAD/24,
AL/Adûnaic,
EotAL/YAW), though Andreas Moehn points out this word could have the form
yôz instead (
EotAL/YAW).
