Old Armenian

Etymology

[edit]

The origin is uncertain.

Traditionally considered an inheritance from Proto-Indo-European *sed- (to sit) and cognate with Latin solium (throne, seat), Old Irish suide (seat), but the vocalism is irregular. A sense development “session, sitting, meeting of an assembly; assembly” → “place and time of such an assembly” → “time in general” is assumed; compare Persian گاه (gâh, time; place).[1][2][3][4][5][6]

But more likely a Semitic borrowing, Akkadian 𒄩𒁲𒀀𒉏 (adiānum, fixed date), which has also reached Arabic عِدّان (ʕiddān, a time something is set; a place of remaining), a relation already made by D. H. Müller.[7] The borrowing would have to be very old due to the *dտ (t) sound shift, as in պարտէզ (partēz).

Bad Iranian etymologies have also been proposed.[8][9][10][11][12]
