Etymology

Pronunciation
Noun
տիվիթ • (tivitʻ) (Nor Nakhichevan, obsolete)
- inkstand, a pencase with inkwell, worn in the girdle by scribes
- Synonyms: թանաքաման (tʻanakʻaman), գրչաման (grčʻaman)
Usage notes
Malxasjan glosses դիվիթ (divitʻ) with "ink" and դիվիթաման (divitʻaman) (containing աման (aman)) with "inkstand". But this contradicts all other dictionaries which know only the sense "inkstand" for the first word and do not know the second word at all.
