Երուանդ
Old Armenian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Grown with a prothetic ե- (e-) from Middle Iranian *rēvant, from Proto-Iranian *raivant-, *rayivant- (“possessing wealth”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *reh₁ís. Compare Avestan 𐬭𐬀𐬉𐬬𐬀𐬥𐬙 (raēvant, “rich, splendid”), 𐬭𐬀𐬫𐬌 (rayi, “wealth”), Sanskrit रेवत् (revat, “wealthy”), रयिवत् (rayivat, “possessing wealth”), रयि (rayi, “wealth”).[1]
On the other hand, Hübschmann derived from Middle Iranian *arvant- (“swift”); compare Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (ʾlwnd /arwand/, “swift, valiant”), Avestan 𐬀𐬎𐬭𐬎𐬎𐬀𐬧𐬙 (auruuaṇt, “swift, vigorous, brave”).[2][3] But this is unlikely, as *arvant- would have yielded Old Armenian *Արուանդ (*Aruand).[1]
Corresponds to Ancient Greek Ὀρόντης (Oróntēs) of Classical authors.
