Etymology

[edit]

The original spelling is նաւթի (nawtʻi), probably inherited from Proto-Indo-European *n̥-h₁d-ti- (literally having no eating), from *n̥- (not) +‎ *h₁ed- (to eat) +‎ *-tis; cognate with Ancient Greek νῆστις (nêstis, not eating, fasting, sober (jejune)).[1][2] Equivalent to ան- (an-) +‎ ուտեմ (utem) +‎ -թի (-tʻi). The by-form անօթի (anōtʻi) can be explained as analogical after the privative prefix ան- (an-).
