Etymology
[edit]From Parthian [Book Pahlavi needed] (Tg /*amrāw/). Note especially the non-metathesized Middle Armenian ամրաւ (amraw), if not an inner-Armenian development under the influence of ամր- (amr-, “hard, solid”). See Persian خرما (xormâ) for more.
The other senses are a semantic loan from Ancient Greek φοῖνιξ (phoînix).

- HENNING (1950, p. 645) notes that the Pth. form is amrāw as seen in “Man. ʾmrʾw, against Arm. armav”, and thus reads amrāw for the Arameogram Tg in the Draxt ī Asūrīg while MACIUSZAK (2007, p. 65, 125, 184) reads (the NP form) xormā on account of <hwlmʾk> occuring [sic] some lines later in the text. ʾmrʾw is found in the unpublished fragment M 171 II R 10 (Desmond Durkin-Meisterernst, pers. comm.). The relevant part of the fragment is partially broken off, though (see the photo at http://www.bbaw.de/forschung/turfanforschung/dta/m/images/m0171_seite2.jpg).
