Etymology

[edit]

According to Perikhanian, the sense “thin plate” is from Iranian *drubaka-/*draubaka- (upper layer; peel), from *draub- (to scrape off); compare Sogdian [script needed] (žōβa-, peel, rind) and perhaps Ossetian рӕдувын (ræduvyn, to scrape). The sense “chapter” is perhaps from Parthian *dōδβāγ (double; folded twice; scroll). The two senses were conflated in Armenian.
