Armenian

Սմբուկ

Etymology

Unattested in Old or Middle Armenian. Several dictionaries list սմբուկ (smbuk) as a dialectal word,[1][2][3] but Ačaṙyan is unable to identify it in any dialect.[4] However, the word is in fact recorded in Istanbul, Diyarbakır, Sivas, Palu, Çarsancak and Süveydiye, in the latter as սմպըկ (smpək), սմբըկ (smbək).[5][6][7]

The origin is unknown.[8]

Ačaṙyan derives from Arabic أَنَب (anab, “eggplant”) +‎ -ուկ (-uk), via a form *ամբուկ (*ambuk), wherein ա (a) was then confused with similar-looking ս (s).[4] But because the word is dialectal, such a literary confusion is unlikely.

Perhaps from an assumed root *սում(բ)- (*sum(b)-, “smooth; shaven”) or the like +‎ -ուկ (-uk), thus "the smooth one", referring to the smooth, glossy surface of the eggplant fruit, which root may also be contained in dialectal սմբուլ (smbul, “polished, smooth”),[9] սմպատ (smpat, “having a smooth head”),[10] սմպըլիկ (smpəlik, “having a shaven head”),[11] սմբըլիկ (smbəlik, “leafless”),[12] սնուկ (snuk, “very smooth”),[13] սըն-եցնել (sən-ecʻnel, “to smooth, polish”)[14] and the uncertain given name Սմպուկս (Smpuks)[15]. The -բ- (-b-) after -մ- (-m-) may be epenthetic in dialects: compare the examples given in Martirosyan 2010[16]. This assumed root may be borrowed from Iranian, ultimately from Proto-Iranian *saH- (“to whet, cut”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱeh₃- (“to sharpen”), whence Baluchi سای- (sāy-, “to shave”), Central Kurdish سوون (sûn, “to whet, sharpen”), Gazi [script needed] (sǖn-, “to rub, shave off”), Persian ساد (sâd, “smooth, plane”), Sarikoli suδγ (“flat, smooth (surface)”), Persian سان (sân, “whetstone”), Central Kurdish ھەسان (hesan, “whetstone”), and according to Horn also Classical Persian سنباده (sumbāde, “whetstone”),[17] to which the Iranian borrowing սմպատակ (smpatak, “touchstone”) is related (J̌ahukyan considers -ատակ (-atak) in the latter an Iranian suffix, as in յիշատակ (yišatak))[18]. For the Iranian root see Cheung,[19] without the Armenian. Compare also Zazaki sımıltkun (“hairless, smooth”)[20]. For another figurative usage in the dialects compare լոլիկ (lolik, “tomato”, literally “the round one”).
