Etymology
The original spelling is մաւրուք (mawrukʻ), from Proto-Indo-European *smoḱru- + -ք (-kʻ). Cognate with Sanskrit श्मश्रु (śmáśru, “beard”), Lithuanian smãkras (“chin”), Albanian mjekër (“chin, beard”), Irish smech (“chin”). The Middle Armenian by-form միրուք (mirukʻ) is old and may represent the e-grade *smeḱru-.
