Etymology

From Arabic جَرْجَر (jarjar), in various dialects mediated by various descendants of the same. Bdoyan derives from ճռճռալ (čṙčṙal, to creak), because of the sound that it makes during operation,[1] but this is a folk etymology. Note that the spelling ճառճառ (čaṙčaṙ) reflects Western Armenian orthography, i.e. ճ (č) = .
