Old Armenian edit

Etymology edit

According to Ačaṙyan, from Akkadian 𒈠𒄩𒊒 (maḫāru, to face, to confront; to oppose). J̌ahukyan considers the similarity with the Akkadian accidental and prefers the connection with Ancient Greek μάχομαι (mákhomai), μάχη (mákhē), supposing a common origin, perhaps a substrate word of the form *makh-.
