աւազակ
Old Armenian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Together with Old Georgian ავაზაკი (avazaḳi) and Aghwan 𐔰𐔱𐔰𐔵𐔰𐕄 (abazaḳ) borrowed from a Middle Iranian language, but the underlying formation is uncertain. Asatrian explains it as *āwā̆zāk (“carrying away”), an agent noun from the preverb *aH- + *waȷ́ʰ- (“to carry”) + the etymon of -ակ (-ak).
