Old Armenian
Etymology 1
Ačaṙean derives from ց- (cʻ-, “until”) + անկանիմ (ankanim, “to fall”) and explains the sense development as ‘to fall’ → ‘to end’ → ‘boundary’ → ‘hedge’, typologically comparing Latin cado (“to fall; to end”).[1][2] In this case, identical with ցանկ (cʻank, “always”).
Olsen derives from ց- (cʻ-) + nasalized non-palatal variant of Proto-Indo-European *peh₂ǵ- (“to attach”).[3]
Scheftelowitz connected with Sanskrit शङ्कु m (śaṅkú-, “pointed peg”), Old Church Slavonic сѫкъ (sǫkŭ, “branch”).[4]
Martirosyan proposes derivation from Proto-Indo-European *s-kagʰ-no-, from *kagʰ-.[5] In this case, ցանգ (cʻang) is the oldest form.
