մաքման
Old Armenian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Attested only in 2 Kings 8:15, transliterating Ancient Greek μαχμα (makhma), variant readings μαχβαρ (makhbar), μακβαρ (makbar), which in its turn is transliterating Biblical Hebrew מכבר (makbēr) occurring in that passage. The Armenian translator's version perhaps had the variant reading *μαχμαν (*makhman), if the -ն (-n) is not the Armenian suffix.
Akin to Old Georgian მაქმაჲ (makmay).
