Old Armenian

Etymology

From Hurrian 𒇽𒀀𒆷𒄭𒂗𒉡 (LU2a-la-ḫi-en-nu /⁠al(l)a(e)ḫḫe/inne-⁠/, keeper of that which pertains to the lord of the house/family), composed of *all-ae (lady or lord (of the house)), from the root *all- (to be lord of, to rule), + 𒄭 (ḫi /⁠-ḫḫe⁠/, possessive adjective suffix) + 𒂗𒉡 (en-nu /⁠-(i)nne⁠/, suffix of names of professions and similar). The borrowing may be from an (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Urartian cognate. Also from Hurrian are Akkadian 𒊩𒌓𒄭𒉡𒌅 (alaḫḫinatu, serving girl in the queen's court or of temple personnel) and Aramaic לחנה (/⁠ləḥentā⁠/, serving girl, concubine). See also աղխ (ałx).
