աղանձեմ

Old Armenian

Alternative forms

  • աղանձնեմ (ałanjnem)

Etymology

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).[1][2] See Walde–Pokorny for this root, without the Armenian.[3] For the final (-j) instead of expected (-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).
