ազդր • (azdr)

1. thigh; hip

• բուդ (bud), զիստ (zist)

• ազդրոսկր (azdroskr)

• աստր (astr)

The origin is uncertain.

According to some, inherited from Proto-Indo-European via pre-Armenian *azgdʰ-, and cognate with Sanskrit सक्थि (sákthi, “thigh, thigh-bone”), Avestan 𐬵𐬀𐬑𐬙𐬌 (haxti, “thigh”), Ancient Greek ἰσχίον (iskhíon, “hip-joint”).

Others compare to Ancient Greek ὀσφῦς (osphûs, “loins, lower part of the back”) and derive both from *h₃ésth₁ (“bone”) grown with the determinative *-dʰ-.
