քրթմնջեմ
Old Armenian
editEtymology
editProbably from *մունջ- (*munǰ-, “to mutter, murmur”), from մունջ (munǰ). The origin of *քրթ- (*kʻrtʻ-) is obscure; it may be related to *քորթ- (*kʻortʻ-) of շողոքորթ (šołokʻortʻ). The whole word has also been compared to Hittite 𒃼𒁲𒈪𒄿𒀀𒀜𒋫𒊑 (kardimiyattari, “to be angry”)
Verb
