The editor of Genesis new very well what עשו means. He even resorted to a little sly visual obfuscation by writing ayin for aleph, and waw for bet, to turn the alien אשאב or אישאב into עשו, a clever spelling modification to take both the eye and the mind away from idols and into thinking about עשב 'grass'. The theophoric איש I$ is very common, as in ישמעאל I$MAEL, שמעון $IMON, אכיש AKIY$, כמוש KMO$ (KMO-I$?), and many more. Likewise the theophoric אב AB.
