Old Armenian

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

The origin is uncertain.

Traditionally considered an inheritance from Proto-Indo-European *sed- (“to sit”) and cognate with Latin solium (“throne, seat”), Old Irish suide (“seat”), but the vocalism is irregular. A sense development “session, sitting, meeting of an assembly; assembly” → “place and time of such an assembly” → “time in general” is assumed; compare Persian گاه (gâh, “time; place”).[1][2][3][4][5][6]

But more likely a Semitic borrowing, Akkadian 𒄩𒁲𒀀𒉏 (adiānum, “fixed date”), which has also reached Arabic عِدّان (ʕiddān, “a time something is set; a place of remaining”), a relation already made by D. H. Müller.[7] The borrowing would have to be very old due to the *d → տ (t) sound shift, as in պարտէզ (partēz).

Bad Iranian etymologies have also been proposed.[8][9][10][11][12]
