{{also|Appendix:Variations of "as"}}

==Lithuanian==

===Alternative forms===
* {{l|lt|ašai}}

===Etymology===
From {{inh|lt|olt|eš}}, from {{der|lt|ine-bsl-pro|*ēź-|*ēˀźun, *eś}}; compare {{cog|lv|es}}, {{cog|prg|es}}/{{m|prg|as}}, {{cog|xsv|es}}, {{cog|sla-pro|*(j)azъ}}. From {{der|lt|ine-pro|*éǵh₂|*h₁eǵ-, *h₁eǵHom|I}}. Compare {{cog|sa|अहम्}}, {{cog|grc|ἐγώ}}, {{cog|xcl|ես}}, {{cog|la|egō}}. The final ''*-ś'' in Baltic is perhaps a result of [[sandhi]] or {{w|final obstruent devoicing}}.

Notable parallels of the vowel change observed in Lithuanian ''eš'' > ''aš'' include:
* Old Lithuanian {{m|lt|ešva}}, cf. modern {{m|lt|ašvà||mare}}, {{cog|prg|aswinan||mare's milk}}
* Lithuanian {{m|lt|ẽglė}}, cf. dialectal {{m|lt|aglė}}, {{cog|prg|addle||fir tree}}.
These forms were perhaps carried on from dialects where ''*e-'' regularly gives ''a-''.<ref>{{w|Rick Derksen}} ('''2002''') '"Rozwadowski's change" in Baltic', ''Baltų Filologija'', vol. 11, no. 1, pg. 5-12</ref>
