Old Armenian

Etymology

The origin is uncertain.

Has been linked to Ancient Greek πελαργός (pelargós) by de Lagarde. Ačaṙyan accepts the connection, positing an earlier *περαγλός (*peraglós) or *παραγλός (*paraglós) for Ancient Greek, and deriving the words from a (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "qfa-sub" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E. source in Asia Minor.

Another proposal supported by Łapʿancʿyan derives արագիլ (aragil) from Sumerian 𒀀𒊏𒀝𒄃𒄷 (/⁠arikgilim, arakgilim⁠/, a kind of long-legged bird, literally stork cross (holding leg in cross posture)).

J̌ahukyan is skeptical about both proposals.
