He assumes that the original meaning was "neck" (i.e. the turning organ) and for the sense development compares Latin collum (“neck”), Proto-Germanic *halsaz (“neck”) from Proto-Indo-European *kʷel- (“to turn”); also Russian шея (šeja) against Serbo-Croatian ошијати (“to turn around”). Finally, J̌ahukyan does not exclude the possibility of contamination of the sense "neck" with the sense "throat" deriving from *bʰewg- (“to consume”) (see բուծանեմ (bucanem) for this root).
