Etymology edit

Uncertain.

Since Müller 1892 often connected with a family of Baltic words, namely Lithuanian jū́rės, jū́rios, Old Prussian *jūrʲai, iūrin, Lithuanian jūra (“sea”), Lithuanian jáura, jáuras (“marshy place”), and derived from Proto-Indo-European *yuHr- (“water”).[1] J̌ahukyan adduces also Thracian Iuras (“name of a river”).[2] Further common comparisons with the family of Sanskrit वार् (vār, “water”), Persian باران (bârân, “rain”) are rejected by Olsen.[3] The evidence for the Proto-Indo-European *y- → Old Armenian ջ- (ǰ-) development is meager, but compare ջան (ǰan), ջով (ǰov). This etymology is accepted by Meillet, Ačaṙean, Solta, J̌ahukyan, Olsen (with reservation) and Matasović.[4][5][6][7][8][3][9][10] The reconstruction of the Proto-Indo-European root is supported by Mallory / Adams but they reject the appurtenance of Armenian on phonetic grounds.[11]

An alternative proposal started by the same Müller (1877) and supported by Justi connects ջուր (ǰur) with Sanskrit क्षरति (kṣarati), Avestan 𐬖𐬲𐬀𐬭𐬀𐬌𐬙𐬌 (γžaraiti), Persian شاریدن (šâridan, “to flow, stream”), شران (šorrân, “purling (as running water)”), Northern Kurdish şirik (“drain”), şurik (“waterspout”).[12][13] This is accepted by Pokorny with reservation, who reconstructs Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰdyōro- for Armenian.[14] J̌ahukyan considers this etymology less likely than the above.[2]
