Old Armenian

Etymology

Borrowed from a Middle Iranian cognate of Persian پیمودن (peymudan, to measure). See it for more.

There has been some scepticism about this etymology due to the combining form -պատում (-patum) and the difference in meaning, but the combining form can be explained as a back-formation from պատմ- (patm-), and the sense development can be explained as "to measure words, to weigh one's words" → "to speak in a measured, controlled or truthful way". The same sense development is seen in the Tajik cognate паймудан (paymudan, to measure; to relate, tell, narrate).

Verb

պատմեմ (patmem)

  1. (transitive) to relate, tell, narrate, recount

      Ew xozarackʻn pʻaxean, ew ertʻeal i kʻałakʻn patmecʻin zamenayn, ew zirs diwaharacʻn:
      Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men.
