Middle Armenian
Etymology
Recorded in several dialects referring to a kind of wild blue flower similar to iris.
Ališan and following him Ačaṙyan consider this a borrowing from the synonymous Arabic جَرْبُوز (jarbūz), يَرْبُوز (yarbūz), supposedly mistakenly read as *بَرْبُوز (*barbūz).[1][2] However, such a bookish derivation is unlikely for a term used in the dialects. More likely an Iranian borrowing: compare Pashto بربوزک (barbuzák, “Allium oreoprasum”).[3]
