Old Armenian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From the root կառ- (kaṙ-, to erect, build, fix) +‎ -չ- (-čʻ-). The origin of the root is uncertain.[1] Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *gʷr̥H-, zero-grade of *gʷerH- (to elevate).[2] For *-r̥H-ռ () compare գառն (gaṙn).

Verb[edit]

կառչիմ (kaṙčʻim)

  1. (intransitive) to grasp at, lay hold of, cling to; to be caught by, bent or fixed on
