Etymology
From խայտ (xayt) + -ա- (-a-) + *բղէտ (*błēt, “speckle, spot”). The *բղէտ (*błēt) is not used independently and is not attested in any other compound. Per J̌ahukyan, it may be inherited from Proto-Indo-European *bʰleyd-, whence Proto-Slavic *blědъ, Proto-West Germanic *blait.
Adjective
խայտաբղէտ • (xaytabłēt)
- dappled, spotted
