արծուի
Old Armenian edit
Alternative forms edit
- արծիւ (arciw) — post-Classical
Etymology edit
Inherited from Proto-Indo-European *h₂r̥ǵipyós. Cognate with Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hr̥ȷ́ipyás and possibly Ancient Greek αἰγίπιος (aigípios, “vulture”).
Urartian 𒅈𒍢𒁉𒉌 (ar-ṣi-bi-ni /Arṣibini/), attested as a name of a horse, possibly meaning ‘Eagle’, and the theonym 𒀭𒅈𒍢𒁁𒁲𒉌𒂊 (dar-ṣi-be-di-ni-e /Arṣibedini/), are borrowed from Proto-Armenian. The element di- in the theonym may reflect Old Armenian դի-ք (di-kʻ, “gods”).
