Etymology

A dialectal word, now adopted in the literary language. HHB has գրտանակ (grtanak, rolling pin),[1] but its place of attestation is unknown.

Undoubtedly archaic and borrowed from a Middle Iranian antecedent of Persian گردنه (gardane), وردنه (vardane), وردانه (vardâne, rolling pin), ultimately from Proto-Iranian *wart- (to turn), from Proto-Indo-European *wert- (to turn, rotate).

New Julfa dialect վարդանա (vardana), Azerbaijani vərdənə, mərdənə, Ottoman Turkish مردانه (merdane), Turkish merdane (rolling pin) are borrowed from the form وردنه (vardane), وردانه (vardâne).

Probably related to Middle Armenian վարդանակ (vardanak, neck?),[2] վարդան-ցաւ (vardan-cʻaw, throat pain?),[3] Persian گردن (gardan, neck).
