[edit]- ուռթի (uṙtʻi)
Etymology
[edit]The origin is uncertain. According to Martirosyan, the word undoubtedly contains the prefix and the suffix յ- (y-) + -թի (-tʻi). The root may be connected with ուռճանամ (uṙčanam) or ուռնում (uṙnum). Alternatively, per Martirosyan's tentative suggestion, it may derive from Proto-Indo-European *Hwers-, with Sanskrit वर्षति (varṣati, “to rain”), वृष्टि (vṛṣṭi, “rain”), Hittite [script needed] (warša-, “rain-shower”), Ancient Greek ἕρση (hérsē, “dew”), οὐρέω (ouréō, “urinate”), Middle Irish frass (“rain-shower, torrent”) as cognates.
