  • Martirosyan, Hrach (2010) “juɫb”, in Etymological Dictionary of the Armenian Inherited Lexicon (Leiden Indo-European Etymological Dictionary Series; 8), Leiden and Boston: Brill, page 440, tentatively derives *-ղբ (*-ġb) from աղբ (aġb, excrement, dung), for the semantics comparing ծիրտ (cirt, dung (of birds and flies)) : ծրտեմ (crtem, to spawn)
