Etymology

An old derivative of աղբ (ałb). The suffix -եւք (-ewkʻ) may be related to -ոյք (-oykʻ). The forms աղբիւսք (ałbiwskʻ), աղբիւս (ałbiws), աղբեւս (ałbews) were built post-classically by generalizing the accusative աղբեւս (ałbews) of աղբեւք (ałbewkʻ) and the accusative աղբիս (ałbis) of աղբիք (ałbikʻ).

Noun

[edit]

աղբևք (ałbewkʻpl

  1. excrement, dung; muck, manure; filth
  2. dung-heap
  3. place for the reception of all filth
