Old Armenian

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

The origin is uncertain. Since Gēorg Dpir usually connected with Arabic بُرْدِيّ (burdiyy), but a direct borrowing from the Arabic is neither chronologically nor phonologically possible. Closely related to Assyrian Neo-Aramaic ܦܪܬܘܟ (pirtūk, “rush, reed”), Northern Kurdish pirtûk, Central Kurdish پەرتووک (pertûk), Zazaki pîrtok (“book”).
