Etzavaz (Dirhassian: ejábaz, tr. Etźávaz [ˈed͡ʑa:vɑs̻]) is one of the 7 continents of Jotunnheim. It is the Xth largest by surface area, behind TBA and TBA, and Xth most populous, behind TBA. It is surrounded on all sides by sea: the Bhayuruka Sea to the west, Verethian Strait to the north, Triangle Sea to the east and Pariunic Ocean to the south.
Etymology
The name *Edʒahwahʃ first appeared in the Ghashesihun as early as the 28th century CY. Because texts in the Ghashesihun were originally oral compositions, it is possible that the name is much older. In the text, *Edʒahwahʃ refers to the homeland of the followers of Tohadal. It derives from Kholic *edʒah, meaning "river, way, path" and *wahʃ, meaning "god"; the name therefore translates to either "river[s] of the god[s]" or "way of the god[s]". The word was then borrowed by Dhimze sources of the late Classical Period as Ejāuāç[a], which evolved into modern Dhimze ejhávázi Ejavazi, which was then reborrowed into Middle Dirhassian as ejáoaẓ Edźávaẓ. This reborrowed term is first attested in a 4052 CY map by Oldirian cartographer Tzál Daś.
