Armenian
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]- ջարջառ (ǰarǰaṙ), ջյառջյառ (ǰyaṙǰyaṙ), ջարջար (ǰarǰar)
- ճառճառ (čaṙčaṙ) — Western Armenian orthography
Etymology
[edit]From Arabic جَرْجَر (jarjar), in various dialects mediated by various descendants of the same. Bdoyan derives from ճռճռալ (čṙčṙal, “to creak”), because of the sound that it makes during operation,[1] but this is a folk etymology. Note that the spelling ճառճառ (čaṙčaṙ) reflects Western Armenian orthography, i.e. ճ (č) = [d͡ʒ].
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Eastern Armenian) IPA(key): /d͡ʒɑrˈd͡ʒɑr/, [d͡ʒɑrd͡ʒɑ́r]
- (Western Armenian) IPA(key): /t͡ʃɑrˈt͡ʃɑr/, [t͡ʃʰɑrt͡ʃʰɑ́r]
Audio (Eastern Armenian): (file)
Noun
[edit]ջառջառ • (ǰaṙǰaṙ)
- (dialectal) thresher, threshing sledge, an implement of wood in which there are revolving axles dragged along by beasts for crushing the corn
Usage notes
[edit]Denotes a more advanced implement than կամ (kam).
