Խօզմօր
Old Armenian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Some researchers spell the word as Խոզմօր (Xozmōr) and explain it as խոզ (xoz, “pig”) + մօր (mōr, “marsh”), but the only extant manuscript has the spelling Խօզմօր (Xōzmōr), so Martirosyan proposes a derivation from խօզ (xōz) + մօր (mōr), thus meaning “mossy marsh” or the like. Compare also խոզմրատ (xozmrat).
Proper noun
[edit]Խօզմօր • (Xōzmōr)
