յեսան
Old Armenian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]The origin is uncertain.[1][2] Often connected with Classical Persian افسان (afsān), فسان (fasân), سان (sân), آسیانه (âsiyâna, âsyâna),[3][4] Sanskrit शान (śāna), Ossetian ссон (sson), инсойнӕ (insojnæ, “whetstone”).[5] Attempts[6][7][8][9][10] to derive from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eḱ- (“sharp”) (whence Ancient Greek ἀκόνη (akónē), Old Church Slavonic осла (osla, “whetstone”)) or Proto-Indo-European *ḱeh₃- (“sharpen”) (whence Latin cos (“whetstone”)) meet phonetic obstacles.
Northern Kurdish hesan, Central Kurdish ھەسان (hesan), Zazaki hesan (“whetstone”) have been treated as Armenian borrowings,[1][11] but they may be inherited.
