Old Armenian[edit]

Etymology 1[edit]

The origin is uncertain.[1][2] Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *gowh₁-ro- or *gow-e/oro- from *gew- (to bend), and cognate with Ancient Greek γῦρος (gûros, ring, circle), γυρός (gurós, round).[3][4] J̌ahukyan prefers derivation from Proto-Indo-European *gor-, from *ger- (to turn, wind).[5]

Possibly related to կեռ (keṙ), կորճ (korč), կուր (kur) and dialectal կոռ (koṙ). Compare also Central Kurdish کووڕ (kûrr, bent over, hunched), Khotanese [script needed] (kūra-, crooked).

Etymology 2[edit]

Probably a tabu-substitution of the word for ‘scorpion’, from կոր (kor, curved, crooked), referring to scorpion's tail. For the semantics compare Persian کژدم (každom). A relation with կարիճ (karič) is also possible.

Noun[edit]
