@Vahagn Petrosyan, what do you think about this? --Abkhazian1 (talk) 11:35, 26 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Abkhazian1, it is not convincing. I cannot imagine a shift of meaning "sea animal" > "herd of cattle". նախիր (naxir) has a shape of a typical Iranian loan. Note that Armenian նախրապան (naxrapan), Aghul нахирбан (naxirban, shepherd) contain the Iranian suffix -պան (-pan). --Vahag (talk) 15:01, 26 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Yes, looks doubtful to me too. --Abkhazian1 (talk) 00:39, 28 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
