Declension[edit]

Middle Armenian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

The attempts[1][2] to derive from the Proto-Indo-European word for "cooking vessel" with such cognates as Ancient Greek ἰπνός (ipnós), Latin olla, Sanskrit उखा (ukhā), Proto-Germanic *uhnaz, are irregular[3][4] and should be abandoned. We are dealing with a borrowing from Middle Georgian აკუთა (aḳuta) which has a convincing Ossetian etymology.

Noun[edit]

ակութ (akutʻ)

  1. cookstove
