eş: Ja, sagen, zustimmen
zıt: verneinen
köken: 16th century, equivalent to be- + ja (“yes”) + -en (with -h- as orthographic hiatus breaker). While the verb may have been derived directly from the interjection ja, an alternative possibility is that it is a reinterpretation of Middle High German bejëhen (“to acknowledge, admit”), from jëhen (“to say”). The according spelling bejähen is indeed attested in the 17th century.
köken: First attested in 1380, from Old French oïl (1100), from Vulgar Latin *hoc ille or by surface analysis a compound of Old French o (affirmative particle) and il (“he”). Partially cognate to Occitan òc (“yes”) and Catalan oi (“isn't it?”). See the Old French term for details.
