Old Armenian

Etymology

Borrowed from a Lua error in Module:parameters at line 360: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "MIr." is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF. word of the form *šēn, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *tḱey-m̥no-, from the root *tḱey- (to cultivate, settle, live). Akin to Avestan 𐬱𐬀𐬌𐬌𐬀𐬥𐬀 (šaiiana, place of residence) and Classical Syriac ܫܝܢܐ (šaynā), an Iranian borrowing. Sogdian [script needed] (šyn /⁠šēn⁠/), which is often glossed as “resting place” and adduced as a cognate, in reality means “bed” and is borrowed from Sanskrit शयन (śayana, bed), which is from the unrelated root *ḱey- (to be lying down).
