Etymology

[edit]

The origin is uncertain. Perhaps a reduplication of կառ- (kaṙ-, to erect, build, fix), on which see կառչիմ (kaṙčʻim). Has been compared to Ancient Greek κάρχαρος (kárkharos, biting, sharp, raw), Hesychian κάρκαροι (kárkaroi, τραχεῖς).

      • Translation by Gohar Muradyan
        Physiologus says about the vulture that it dwells in the heights and on heaps of stones and in the caves and on the summits of mountains. And when it wishes, it goes to India and takes the stone that aids in childbirth; that stone is round in the shape of a nut.
