Etymology

[edit]

From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (Tg) / [Book Pahlavi needed] (hwlmʾk' /⁠xormā⁠/, date), possibly from earlier *harmāw. The logogram is from Aramaic 𐡕𐡌𐡓𐡉𐡍 pl (tmryn, dates).

Compare Parthian [Book Pahlavi needed] (hwlmʾk /⁠xurmāg⁠/) and [Book Pahlavi needed] (Tg /⁠*amrāw⁠/), both forms appeared in Draxt ī Āsūrīg. The former is from Middle Persian. For reading of the latter, compare Manichaean Parthian [Manichaean needed] (ʾmrʾw /⁠amrāw⁠/) and Old Armenian արմաւ (armaw) (see Korn).

Akin to Kumzari أرما (date (fruit)), Baluchi هرماگ (hurmág, date; fully ripe date fruit). Compare also Sanskrit खर्जु (kharju) (wild date tree).

    HENNING (1950, p. 645) notes that the Pth. form is amrāw as seen in “Man. ʾmrʾw, against Arm. armav”, and thus reads amrāw for the Arameogram Tg in the Draxt ī Asūrīg while MACIUSZAK (2007, p. 65, 125, 184) reads (the NP form) xormā on account of <hwlmʾk> occuring [sic] some lines later in the text. ʾmrʾw is found in the unpublished fragment M 171 II R 10 (Desmond Durkin-Meisterernst, pers. comm.). The relevant part of the fragment is partially broken off, though (see the photo at http://www.bbaw.de/forschung/turfanforschung/dta/m/images/m0171_seite2.jpg).
