Old Armenian

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed from Middle Iranian *sapōδ (perhaps via Aramaic *sappōḏ, because otherwise *սապոյր (*sapoyr) is expected[1]), from Old Iranian *sapauda-, whence Classical Persian سبوی (sabōy), سبو (sabô, cup, jug), Bactrian σαβολο (sabolo, jar) and the Tocharian B loanword sapule (jar).[2][3][4] The connection with Persian was recognised already by Awgerean and Gēorg Dpir.[5][6]

Noun

[edit]

սափոր (sapʻor)

  1. urn, amphora, pot, pitcher, jug, jar
  2. a dry and liquid measure equal to 10 քսեստ (kʻsest)
