Old Armenian

Etymology

From կատու (katu, “cat”) +‎ ականջ (akanǰ, “ear”).

The meaning is uncertain. Found only in a medieval dictionary glossing Arabic آذَان الْفَأْر (ʔāḏān al-faʔr, “Myosotis stricta”, literally “mouse ear”), which is called մկնականջ (mknakanǰ, literally “mouse ear”) in Armenian. Perhaps the Arabic should be corrected to آذَان الْقَطّ (ʔāḏān al-qaṭṭ, literally “cat's ear”), which is found in Amirdovlatʿ as ազան ըլ ղըթ (azan əl ġətʻ) and explained as زَرَاوَنْد مُدَحْرَج (zarāwand mudaḥraj, “Aristolochia rotunda”).
