@Vahagn Petrosyan does the Armenian entry not have the meaning of "opponent; rival"? Then perhaps Armenian was borrowed from Georgian or they were both borrowed from a tertiary source? cf. სატანაჲ (saṭanay, “opponent; Satan”). Because you've mentioned on the Hebrew entry, that the Georgian was borrowed from Armenian. -Solarkoid (talk) 16:33, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

@Solarkoid: Yes, it does have that meaning too. This word entered through the translation of the Bible. I don't know the history of the Old Georgian Bible. If it was translated from Armenian, then you borrowed via Armenian. --Vahag (talk) 05:40, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

@Vahagn Petrosyan: It depends really. Mostly Greek, some used Armenian bible as a side source. More later ones also used more Armenian but just those two ya. Some uncommon ones also include from Arabic. IMO the borrowing can't definitely be figured out if Greek and Armenian along with Georgian had the same meanings. I'll see in which bibles it comes up with and how commonly a bit later. -Solarkoid (talk) 06:02, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
