տիկ

From Old Armenian տիկ (tik).

• (Eastern Armenian) IPA^(key): /tik/,
• (Western Armenian) IPA^(key): /diɡ/,

տիկ • (tik)

1. skin (vessel made of skin, used for holding liquids)

• տկռել (tkṙel)

The origin is uncertain. Traditionally explained as "goat (skin)" and connected with Proto-West Germanic *tigā (“she-goat”), *tikkīn (“kid, young goat”, diminutive), Laconian Ancient Greek δίζα (díza, “goat”), and derived from Proto-Indo-European *digʰ- (“goat”), but that would rather give *տիգ (*tig). Similar words are found in non-Indo-European languages: Old Georgian თიკანი (tiḳani, “kid, young goat”), Proto-Avaro-Andian *ṭuka (“he-goat”),^[1] Proto-Tsezian *ṭiġ̥₁a (“he-goat”),^[2] Proto-Turkic *teke (“he-goat”).^[3] The interrelationship of these forms is uncertain. Finally, note the group of Semitic words meaning "wineskin" or "goatskin": Imperial Aramaic 𐡆𐡒 (zq), Jewish Palestinian Aramaic, Jewish Literary Aramaic, Jewish Babylonian Aramaic זִיקָּא (ziqqā), Classical Syriac ܙܩܐ (zeqqā), Arabic زِقّ (ziqq), Akkadian 𒋢𒍣𒄣 (^KUŠzi-qu /⁠ziqqu⁠/).
