Usage notes
[edit]- Attested only in Philo in the form փաղիժ-ից-ն (pʻałiž-icʻ-n, genitive plural), where it translates φαλάγγιον (phalángion). Some dictionaries reconstruct the nominative as *փաղիժ (*pʻałiž), but this is incorrect as the genitive plural would then be *փաղժից (*pʻałžicʻ).
- In the manuscript margin glossed with փաղանգ (pʻałang).
