Old Armenian edit
Etymology edit
An Iranian borrowing.[1][2][3] Morphologically, a compound of *մեհի- (*mehi-) + -աւանդ (-awand).
While certainly Iranian in origin, the first element is not easily recognizable. Perhaps this is a cognate of Avestan 𐬨𐬆𐬭𐬆𐬰𐬎 (mərəzu, “neck, vertebra”), from Proto-Iranian *mr̥ju-, although phonologically difficult to explain. Olsen (1999) instead suggested a derivation from Iranian *miθriya-βanda-, whose first part is possibly found in Ancient Greek μίτρα (mítra), μίτρη (mítrē, “headband”).[4][5] Alternatively, it is a descendant of Proto-Iranian *mā́Hah (“moon”), for a crescent-shaped jewelry.[6]
Noun edit
մեհևանդ • (mehewand)
- a kind of women's jewelry, either a necklace or a bracelet
