Old Armenian
Etymology
According to Ačaṙyan, an Iranian borrowing. Compare Persian زو (zav), زاب (zâb). These are connected to Avestan 𐬎𐬰𐬀𐬎𐬎𐬀 (uzauua) by Justi. According to Ačaṙyan and Hübschmann, the ending -էն (-ēn) is the Middle Iranian diminutive suffix -ēn, from Old Iranian -aina-, found also in such Iranian borrowings as Սուրէն (Surēn), Արտէն (Artēn), Գուրգէն (Gurgēn), Վազգէն (Vazgēn), Արտաշէն (Artašēn).
