Etymology

[edit]

Uncertain.[1][2] Martirosyan proposes derivation from Proto-Indo-European *Hh₃es-eno-, from *Heh₃s- (ash-tree), whence հացի (hacʻi).[3] He explains the sense development by functional and cultural similarities: compare Old English æsċ (ash tree; spear), Ancient Greek κράνεια (kráneia, cornelian cherry; spear), Middle Armenian կռանի (kṙani, ash tree; cornelian cherry (?)).

Noun

[edit]

հոյն (hoyn)

  1. cornel, cornelian cherry, European cornel (Cornus mas) (fruit and tree)
