esan

== Basque == === Alternative forms === erran (Northern) === Etymology === Unknown, the variant erran seems to point to an original form with an alien cluster with two different outcomes such as *esran. The synthetic forms belong to an unrelated verb with the stem -io-. Since this verb lacks non-finite forms, its forms are often given as the synthetic conjugation of esan and erran. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /es̺an/ [e.s̺ãn] Rhymes: -es̺an, -an Hyphenation: e‧san === Verb === esan du/dio (imperfect participle esaten, future participle esango, short form esan, verbal noun esate) (Southern) (du) to say, tell (dio) to call, to name ==== Usage notes ==== Some of the synthetic forms are archaic, so more often periphrastic will be used instead. For example, instead of Zer ziotsun? ― What did he/she tell you? the periphrastic form Zer esan zizun? ― What did he/she tell you? is more commonly used. ==== Conjugation ==== This verb needs an inflection-table template. ==== Derived terms ==== === Further reading === “esan”, in Euskaltzaindiaren Hiztegia [Dictionary of the Basque Academy] (in Basque), Euskaltzaindia [Royal Academy of the Basque Language] “esan”, in Orotariko Euskal Hiztegia [General Basque Dictionary], Euskaltzaindia, 1987–2005 == Nupe == === Etymology 1 === ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /ē.sã̄/ ==== Noun ==== esan salt A lá esan kún. ― They have sold the salt. ===== Derived terms ===== === Etymology 2 === ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /è.sã́/ ==== Noun ==== èsán (plural èsánzhì) bird's nest == Romansch == === Alternative forms === asen (Rumantsch Grischun, Sursilvan, Sutsilvan) asan (Surmiran, Vallader) === Etymology === Inherited from Latin asinus. === Noun === esan m (plural esans) (Puter) (male) donkey, ass ==== Coordinate terms ==== (sex): esna == Scottish Gaelic == === Etymology === From Old Irish ésom.
