No Vahagn, NK pîj if from earlier pij and cognate with CK pirj(oll). It is clear it is cognate with NP porz (Persian -rz vs Kurdish -(r)j).

Armenian pʿuš is related to Kurdish pûş, NP puš and Kermanic pūš (check {{R:xme:Asatrian:2011|page=335}}).--Calak (talk) 16:59, 24 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Calak: I don't know Persian. What do these words mean according to Asatrian? --Vahag (talk) 17:11, 24 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Kurdish pûş: hay, dry grass; dry leaves; unmowed grass that grows in a meadow
Kermanic pūš: powder of medicinal plants for circumcision wound
Persian puš mostly pušâl: chaff, excelsior, packing, padding, sawdust, splint, splinter, straw

Thanks. I wonder if the ultimate origin is Aramaic, from the root pwš "to remain behind", i.e. "leftovers". --Vahag (talk) 06:37, 25 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Can be right.--Calak (talk) 06:39, 25 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
