պոյտն
Old Armenian
Alternative forms
Etymology
The origin is uncertain.
Petersson connected with Proto-Germanic *puttaz (“pot”), deriving պոյտն (poytn) from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *bewd-no- or *bowd-no and the Germanic word from *bud-nó-, both from the root *bewd-, *bud- (“to swell”). This is accepted by Pokorny and J̌ahukyan, but rejected by Ačaṙyan, who considers the Germanic to be borrowed from Lua error in Module:parameters at line 95: Parameter 1 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "ML" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF., potus (“pot”).
Olsen puts պոյտն (poytn) in her list of words of unknown origin, writing “loan or inheritance?”.
