Or even:
$ declare -A aa=( empty '' inject '$(date)' "space key" "space value" \
'$(uptime)' injected lb \[ rb \] punc $' \t\n' )
$ printf -v tmpString '["%s"]="%s" ' "${aa[@]@k}"
$ declare -A "newarray=($tmpString)"
$ declare -p newarray
declare -A newarray=([inject]="Mon Dec 22 20:16:59 CET 2025" [lb]="[" ["space
ke
y"]="space value" [empty]="" [punc]=$' \t\n' [rb]="]" [" 20:16:59 up 1 days,
