Wouldn't Ashra be more accurate for ten in Arabic? I mean, I pronounce Ashura "a-shoo-rah", while Ashra would be "ash-rah", which is what I think is closer to the Arabic word. Then again, if you pronounce Ashura quick enough, it does sound like Ashra.
I'm talking about Egyptian Arabic though, Middle Eastern Arabic (UAE and whatnot) might be different.
