oyskhu vs. oydkhu



In the song Mu Asapru, there is a word that I have found slightly
different in various versions.  The beginning of each verse begins:

Mu Asapru, mu adabru (or alternately Mu adabru, mu asapru),
Oyskhu, oyskhu, (or oydkhu, oydkhu)

I'm assuming that these words are Aramaic.  Can anyone tell me the
meaning/origin of the oyskhu/oydkhu and tell me which is
correct/preferable?  Can anyone enlighten me as to whether it makes any
difference which comes first; mu asapru or mu adabru?

A dank,
Lorele
