շարաւանդ

Old Armenian

Alternative forms

Etymology

Borrowed from an unidentified Iranian compound, the second part of which is *bandah (tie), on which see բանտ (bant). The first part is uncertain. Perikhanian explains it with Middle Median *šar(a)-, an unattested cognate of the first part of Persian شلوار (šal-vâr, trousers) and of Ancient Greek σκέλος (skélos, leg). Possibly related Old Armenian աշխարաւանդ (ašxarawand), Old Georgian შარავანდი (šaravandi, royal crown).

Noun

շարաւանդ • (šarawand)

  1. bonds, bands, fetters (for legs)
