Old Armenian edit

Etymology edit

Connected with Proto-Germanic *fastuz (“fixed, firm, secure”), possibly also Sanskrit पस्त्य n (pastyá, “stall, stable ← stable habitation”), पस्त्या f (pastyā́, “homestead, dwelling, household”). All usually derived from Proto-Indo-European *pastV- (“solid, stable”).[1][2][3][4] Kroonen separates the Sanskrit and reconstructs the Proto-Indo-European root for Armenian and Germanic as *pHst-.[5] See *fastuz for more on this.

However, Martirosyan writes: "In view of the limited distribution (see also Salmons apud Mallory/Adams 1997: 204b) and the vowel *-a-, we are hardly dealing with a Proto-Indo-European word. One may posit a European substrate word shared by Armenian, Germanic, possibly also Indo-Aryan. In view of the semantics of the Germanic and Indic cognates, as well as that of Armenian հաստատեմ (hastatem, “to affirm, assert, reinforce; to build, found, set up, settle, establish a dwelling place”), one may posit a substratum technical term with an original meaning ‘foundation, settlement, fortified dwelling place, fortress’".[6]

Compare also Northern Kurdish xest, Central Kurdish خەست (xest), dialectal ھەس (hes), Southern Kurdish خەس (xes), Laki خەس (xes), ھەس (hes), Gurani ھەس (has), Talysh خس (xas, “thick, viscous (of liquid)”)[7] and Gilaki خٚستٚه (xəstə, “dense”).[8]
