Etymology
Klimov derives from Proto-Indo-European *wérsēn (“male, ram”) (whence Latin verrēs (“boar”), Ancient Greek ἄρσην (ársēn, “male”), Ossetian уырс (wyrs, “stallion”)).
On the other hand J̌ahukyan and Martirosyan prefer an Armenian origin: compare Old Armenian որձ (orj, “male”), յորձ (yorj, “ram”).
