որքիւն
Old Armenian
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]- երքոյն (erkʻoyn)
Etymology
[edit]The origin is uncertain.
Noun
[edit]որքիւն • (orkʻiwn)
Usage notes
[edit]As shown by Ačaṙyan, the singular nominative form *որքին (*orkʻin) supposed by Old Armenian dictionaries is a wrong back-formation from որքինոտ (orkʻinot), a misspelling of *որքիւնոտ (*orkʻiwnot).
