Old Armenian
Etymology
The origin is uncertain.
Attested only in Grigor Magistros (11th c.) and Nersēs Šnorhali (12th c.), both from the noble Pahlavuni family. Not recorded in any dialect, although Ačaṙyan tentatively compares Tokat dialect կոնդիկ (kondik, “puppy”). Probably contained in Old Armenian սկնդ-իկ (sknd-ik), սկնդ-ուկ (sknd-uk, “deserted or barren wife”).
Often derived from Proto-Indo-European *ḱwon-t-, from *ḱwṓ (“dog”), whence շուն (šun), with the same enlargement as in Proto-Germanic *hundaz,[1][2][3][4] but this assumes Proto-Indo-European *ḱw yields Old Armenian *սգ (*sg) → սկ (sk), which contradicts շուն (šun) and էշ (ēš)[5].
Has also been compared to a group of related words in the Iranian languages of Pamir — Wakhi skən, Ishkashimi *skənůk, Yazghulami *sək̊on, Munji skun (“puppy”), as well as to Ossetian стӕн (stæn, “male dog”) and Proto-Slavic *ščenę (“young animal”), and all have been derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ken- (“young”).[6][7][8][9] But note that Proto-Indo-European *sk- cannot yield սկ- (sk-).[10][5] It is better to assume a borrowing from the Iranian cognate.
Compare also Ancient Greek σκύμνος (skúmnos), σκύλαξ (skúlax).
