Old Armenian

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

The origin is uncertain.[1][2] Often connected with Classical Persian افسان (afsān), فسان (fasân), سان (sân), آسیانه (âsiyâna, âsyâna),[3][4] Sanskrit शान (śāna), Ossetian ссон (sson), инсойнӕ (insojnæ, whetstone).[5] Attempts[6][7][8][9][10] to derive from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eḱ- (sharp) (whence Ancient Greek ἀκόνη (akónē), Old Church Slavonic осла (osla, whetstone)) or Proto-Indo-European *ḱeh₃- (sharpen) (whence Latin cos (whetstone)) meet phonetic obstacles.

Northern Kurdish hesan, Central Kurdish ھەسان (hesan), Zazaki hesan (whetstone) have been treated as Armenian borrowings,[1][11] but they may be inherited.
