Old Armenian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

The origin is uncertain. Perhaps ultimately from Sumerian 𒀀𒊏𒀝𒄃𒄷 (a-ra-ak-gilimmušen /⁠arikgilim, arakgilim⁠/, a kind of long-legged bird, literally stork cross (holding leg in cross posture)),[1][2][3] from 𒀀𒊏𒀝𒄷 (a-ra-akmušen /⁠arak⁠/, stork) and 𒄃 (gilim, barrier, bolt; to lie across; to be entwined; to entwine, twist; to block). Note also Classical Syriac ܗܪܓܠܐ (/⁠hrglʾ⁠/, stork),[4][5] Assyrian Neo-Aramaic ܗܪܓܠܐ (hargālā, stork);[6] Bengali হাড়গিলা (haṛgila), Hindi हड़गिल्ला (haṛgillā, argala, greater adjutant). In view of the Indian words, it is interesting that Middle Armenian րաքիլ (rakʻil) refers to a bird from India.[7]
