Old Armenian

Etymology

According to Ačaṙean, borrowed from an unattested Aramaic word related to Akkadian (naḫlaptu, garment, cloak, coat, scale armor), which is from 𒁽 (ḫalāpum, to slip through; to be slipped into, clad, clothed in, mantled with, wear), from Proto-Semitic *ḫalap-. The Akkadian word is cognate with Sabaean 𐩭𐩡𐩰𐩣 (ḫlfm, garment (in which divine statue is dressed)) and Ugaritic 𐎃𐎍𐎔𐎐 (ḫlpn, cloak, cape).
