Etymology

Perhaps a dialectal archaism, inherited from Old Armenian *կաղց (*kałcʻ), a supposed parallel form of Old Armenian կաթն (katʻn).[1][2] See it for more.

Alternatively, simply a reshaping of standard կաթ (katʻ) under the influence of քաղցր (kʻaġcʻr, sweet): compare Danish sødmælk (whole milk, literally sweet milk).[3] For the association "sweet" ~ "milk" compare also Persian شیرین (širin, sweet) beside شیر (šir, milk), Proto-Turkic *sǖčig (sweet) beside *sǖt (milk), Albanian tambël (milk) beside ëmbël (sweet).
