Etymology 2[edit]

Verb[edit]

բայ (bay)

  1. third-person singular present active indicative of բամ (bam)

Etymology 3[edit]

Ačaṙean does not record an acceptable etymology.

Ałayan derives from Proto-Indo-European *bʰewH- (to be), connecting the word with Old Irish both (hut, bothy, cot; cabin), Welsh bod (dwelling), Lithuanian bùtas (house). J̌ahukyan, developing this, writes that the Indo-European proto-form for Armenian may have been *bʰweH-t- and the closest cognate—Albanian botë. Martirosyan remarks that not all the formal details are clear. For the semantic field, he compares the etymologically cognate բոյն (boyn, nest; den, lair; hut).
