Old Armenian

Etymology

A Hurro-Urartian borrowing: compare Urartian 𒄩𒇻𒇷 (ḫa-lu-li /⁠ḫaluli⁠/, “grape, fruit, banquet, fruit offering”), Hurrian 𒄑𒄩𒇻𒇷 (^GIŠḫaluli, “a certain fruit, fruit-bearing plant”). In their turn, these may be borrowed from Semitic. Coptic ⲁⲗⲟⲗⲓ (aloli, “grape”) (from Egyptian jꜣrrt) and Ancient Greek χάλις (khális, “unmixed wine”) have also been compared. Note especially the Late Egyptian pronunciation /ʔaˈla(ʔ)lə/ of jꜣrrt.
