Old Armenian
Etymology
Uncertain.
De Lagarde connects with Ancient Greek ἄρδις (árdis, “point of an arrow”).[1] This not accepted by Hübschmann (who also adds the comparison with Old Irish aird (“point, direction”)) and Ačaṙyan because *արտ (*art) would have been expected for Armenian.[2][3]
Pokorny and J̌ahukyan (with reservation) derive from Proto-Indo-European *ardʰ- (“pole, rod”), with Lithuanian ar̃das (“pole scaffold for drying flax”), ar̃damas (“pole which crosses the sail diagonally”) as cognates, an idea going back to Petersson.[4][5][6]
Ačaṙyan rejects all proposals and leaves the origin open.[3]
Ałayan derives with prothetic ա- (a-) from the zero-grade of the Proto-Indo-European *reh₁t- (“pole, beam, trunk; beam structure”).[7]
Noun
արդն • (ardn)
- a kind of spear, probably dart, javelin
Usage notes
