In Western Syriac dialects written in West Syriac Serṭā, ܝܫܘܥ is vocalized as ܝܶܫܽܘܥ (yešuʿ), close to the Biblical Hebrew/Aramaic root form יֵשׁוּעַ (yēšûaʿ). Eastern dialects written in East Syriac Maḏnḥāyā use the distinct alternate vocalization ܝܑܼܫܘܿܥ (ʾīšōʿ), resulting from a common vocalization of the initial syllable /jə/ into [ʔi] and a lowering of the vowel /u/ to [o] preceding a guttural.
Proper noun
ܝܫܘܼܥ or ܝܑܼܫܘܿܥ or ܝܶܫܽܘܥ • (yešuʕ or ʾīšōʿ or yešuʿ) m

- (biblical) Joshua
