Old Armenian

Etymology

From pre-Armenian *bendʰ-, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰendʰ- (to bind; bond).[1][2][3][4] Martirosyan explains the change of the initial consonant by the operation of Grassmann's law, although he admits that we have no further secure examples of this law in Armenian.[5]

On the other hand, պինդ (pind) has been derived from Iranian.[6] Compare Khotanese piṇḍaa- (lump), Sanskrit पिण्ड (piṇḍa, lump, ball (of food)). This is considered less probable by Martirosyan.[5]
