Old Armenian
Etymology
The origin is unknown.[1][2][3][4]
J̌ahukyan compares with ծիղ (cił), ծիլ (cil, “sprout, bud”).[5]
Martirosyan connects with Ancient Greek γίγγλυμος (gínglumos, “hinge, joint, pivot, gudgeon”) and derives both from a Mediterranean substrate word of the shape *ǵinɣl(u)m-, whence Proto-Armenian *ci(n)ɣln- → *cixln- → *ciłxn-i, with the suffix -ի (-i).[6]
