Etymology

From Middle Iranian *ništra-, formed with a base ultimately going back to Proto-Indo-Iranian *náyȷ́žʰam and the tool-suffix *-tra-. See Persian نیشتر (ništar) for more. Doublet of Middle Armenian նշտար (nštar).

Noun

նիշտր • (ništr)

      Վասն առողջութեան մարմնոյ թոյլ տան նշտրով փորձել զվէրս
      Vasn aṙołǰutʻean marmnoy tʻoyl tan nštrov pʻorjel zvērs

Usage notes
