[edit] Old Armenian

[edit] Etymology

Grown with prothetic e- from Iranian *Rēvant, from *Raivant-, *Rayivant- (possessing wealth). Compare Avestan raēvant- (rich, splendid), rayi- (wealth), Sanskrit रेवत् (revat, wealthy), रयिवत् (rayivat, possessing wealth), रयि (rayi, wealth). Hübschmann derived this from Iranian *arvant- (swift); compare Middle Persian arvand (swift), Avestan aurvant- (swift). But this is unlikely, as *arvant- would have yielded Armenian *Արուանդ (Aruand).

Corresponds to Orontes and Ὀρόντης (Orontēs) of Classical authors. Related to Երուազ.
