Old Armenian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Usually considered a word of uncertain origin.[1][2][3][4] If Schulze is right that կառափն (kaṙapʻn) is related to Lezgi кӏараб (ḳarab, “bone”) and the Lezghian words mentioned there,[5] then we are dealing with a Northeast Caucasian borrowing, because the Lezghian terms are usually considered to be native. For other body part terms possibly borrowed from that family see մագիլ (magil).

    • 5th century, Pʿawstos Buzand, Hayoc Patmutʿiwnʿ [History of the Armenians] V.4:[6][7]

        And he caught up with Uṙnayr king of Ałuankʿ, who was fleeing, and struck him over the head with many blows of the shaft of his lance, saying, "Be grateful that you are a king and wear a crown, for I will not kill a king, even though great harm come to me." And he allowed him to escape with eight horsemen and go to the realm of Ałuankʿ.
