Old Armenian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

A word for which several Proto-Indo-European etymologies have been proposed,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] all of them irregular.[14][15][16] Unacceptable[17][18] derivations from Urartian[19] and Hittite[20] have also been suggested.

Most likely a Zan borrowing: compare Mingrelian შერტი (šerṭi), შორტი (šorṭi), შორდი (šordi), შქვერთი (škverti), Laz შორთი (şorti), Georgian შოლტი (šolṭi).
