Probably a Semitic borrowing: compare Assyrian Neo-Aramaicܟܡܝܫܐ(kmiša, “dried up, dry, shrivelled (of grapes in a drought)”),[4]ܟܡܫ(kamiš, “to become dry, become scorched, dehydrate; to fade, wither, shrivel up, wilt”).[5][6] Note that here k and š are both pronounced as an emphatic /t͡ʃ/.[7] Accordingly, these are usually transcribed as č̣mič̣a, č̣aməč̣.[8][9][10] Ačaṙyan treats the Assyrian Neo-Aramaic words as Armenian borrowings, but they have native origin from the Aramaic root ܟ-ܡ-ܫ(k-m-š, “to wither”),[11][12][13] whence Aramaic / Classical Syriac(kmyš) / ܟܡܝܫܐ(kmyšʾ/kəmīšā/, “wrinkled”), Classical Syriacܟܡܫܘܢܐ(kmšwnˀ/kamšōnē/, “grape seed, dried raisin”).
Զամենայն աւուրս ուխտին իւրոյ յամենայնէ զինչ եւ լինիցի յորթոյ՝ զգինի, ի չամչոյ (var. չամչին, չամիչոյ) մինչեւ ցթինն մի՛ կերիցէ:

Usage notes
According to Ačaṙean, ի չամչոյ մինչեւ ցթինն(i čʻamčʻoy minčʻew cʻtʻinn, “from the raisin to the grapeseed”) in Numbers 6:4 should be amended to ի չանչոյ մինչեւ ցթինն(i čʻančʻoy minčʻew cʻtʻinn, “from the grape pomace to the grapeseed”), because the Septuagint correspondent is στέμφυλον(stémphulon, “mass of pressed grapes”).
