Middle Armenian
Etymology
From Arabic بَزَرْقَطُونَا (bazarqaṭūnā). Tʻargmanutʻiwn dełocʻ has the manuscript variant բզրուկ (bzruk), which has been treated as a separate formation from Arabic بِزْر (bizr, “seed”) and the suffix -ուկ (-uk), however this form is probably spurious; notwithstanding, բզրուկ (bzruk) has been learnedly adopted in the modern language as the designation for Arenaria.
