Old Armenian

Alternative forms

Etymology

According to Ačaṙean, the earlier form is առեւծ (aṙewc), with prothetic ա- (a-) from *ռեւծ (*ṙewc), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁rewg-.[1][2] This is accepted by J̌ahukyan with reservation[3], but rejected by Olsen who considers the word etymologically unclear[4].

Perhaps a Semitic borrowing, from a reflex of Proto-Semitic *ʾarway- (“wild animal; lion”): compare Aramaic אריא / ܐܪܝܐ (ʾaryā), [script needed] (ʾaryāwā, “lion”), אריותא / ܐܪܝܘܬܐ (ʾaryūṯā, “lioness”). The similarity with Hebrew אַרְיֵה‏ (ʾaryē, “lion”) was noticed already by Schröder.[5] The alternation առիւծ (aṙiwc) ~ առեւծ (aṙewc) ~ առեաւծ (aṙeawc) can be understood within Semitic, but the final -ծ (-c) needs an explanation. See also կորիւն (koriwn).
