Old Armenian

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *dʰoyǵʰos or *dʰeyǵʰos, from the root *dʰeyǵʰ-.[1][2][3][4] Theoretically, a borrowing from the Iranian cognate cannot be excluded; compare Avestan 𐬛𐬀𐬉𐬰𐬀 (daēza, wall),[2] 𐬛𐬀𐬉𐬰𐬀𐬫𐬈𐬌𐬙𐬌 (daēzayeiti, to heap, wall about) and 𐬎𐬰𐬛𐬀𐬉𐬰𐬀 (uzdaēza, pile of earth).

Compare also Central Kurdish دێز (dêz, heap of leaves and plants for winter).[5]
