Old Armenian [edit]
Etymology [edit]
From Proto-Indo-European *gʷih₃wo- (“pitch”) and cognate with Old Irish bí (“pitch”), Russian живица. Ultimately from either Proto-Indo-European *gʷeyh₃- (“to live”), because pitch is the plant’s ‘living material’, or *gieu- (“to chew”), whence English chew, Russian жевать.
Noun [edit]
կիւ • (kiw)
- tree pitch, mastic, chewing-gum
- pine-tree (?)
