We need no Arabic for this.
Ps.31:11(10)
כי כלו ביגון חיי ושנותי באנחה
כשל בעוני כחי ועצמי עששו
KJV:
"For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my
strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed"
Compare Ps. 22:15(14)
כמים נשפכתי והתפרדו כל עצמותי
היה לבי כדונג נמס בתוך מעי
KJV:
"I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my
heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels"

John Leake: Almost, Nir - Arabic has عثّ (root
<ain><tha'><tha'>), a root certainly cognate to the Hebrew root
עשש.
