աղանձեմ

• աղանձնեմ (ałanjnem)

According to Ačaṙean, from Proto-Indo-European *ln̥dʰ-, zero-grade of *lendʰ- (“to cook food, to roast”), and cognate with Sanskrit रन्धयति (randhayati, “to cook food”), Ancient Greek λάσανα (lásana, “trivet or stand of a pot”), λάσα (lása, “overfull table”), Old Prussian landan (“food”), Irish lann (“frying pan”), Old Welsh lann (“frying pan”). See Walde–Pokorny for this root, without the Armenian. For the final -ձ (-j) instead of expected -դ (-d) Ačaṙean compares the alternation seen in փոխինձ (pʻoxinj) ~ փոխինդ (pʻoxind). The prothetic ա- (a-) was added because native Armenian words cannot start with a ղ- (ł-). Ačaṙean considers Old Georgian ლანძჳ (lanʒwi, “thurible”), ლანძვა (lanʒva, “to scorch”) borrowings from Armenian before the prothetic vowel was added.

See also Armenian եղինձ (eġinj), եղնձել (eġnjel).
