@Vahagn Petrosyan: From Parthian or Median?--Calak (talk) 21:08, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

@Calak: Why would we need Median? If you are referring to prothetic ե- (e-), then it and ա- (a-) are regularly added in Armenian, which does not tolerate words starting with ր- (r-) and ղ- (ł-), e.g. երանգ (erang), աղբիւր (ałbiwr), եղբայր (ełbayr), երեւիմ (erewim), առու (aṙu), երասան (erasan). --Vahag (talk) 08:38, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Asatrian says it is a Middle Median feature (prothesis a or u before initial r)--Calak (talk) 09:06, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

That is Perikhanian's controversial theory. --Vahag (talk) 09:26, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
