Editing Onager (section)

==Etymology==
The [[species|specific name]] is from the [[Ancient Greek]] {{langx|grc|ἡμίονος|hēmíonos|label=none}}, from {{langx|grc|[[wikt:hemi-|ἡμι-]]|hēmi-|half|label=none}}, and {{langx|grc|ὄνος|ónos|donkey|label=none}}; thus, 'half-donkey' or [[mule]]. The term ''onager'' comes from the ancient Greek {{lang|grc|ὄναγρος}}, again from {{langx|grc|ὄνος|ónos|donkey|label=none}}, and {{langx|grc|ἄγριος|ágrios|wild|label=none}}.

The species was commonly known as Asian wild ass, in which case the term ''onager'' was reserved for the ''E.&nbsp;h.&nbsp;onager'' subspecies,<ref name="SSC">{{cite web |url=http://data.iucn.org/themes/ssc/sgs/equid/ASWAss.html |title=Asiatic Wild Ass &nbsp; ''Equus hemionus'' |work=IUCN |location=Gland, Switzerland |publisher=IUCN/SSC Equid Specialist Group |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121220184116/http://data.iucn.org/themes/ssc/sgs/equid/ASWAss.html |archive-date=20 December 2012}}</ref> more specifically known as the [[Persian onager]].
