Etymology

edit

The original spelling is աւձիք (awjikʻ). (-kʻ) is the plural marker. The etymology is uncertain.

Since Adontz usually connected with Ancient Greek αὐχήν (aukhḗn, neck, throat; isthmus), ἄμφην (ámphēn, neck), and derived from Proto-Indo-European, but there are great phonetic difficulties.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Compare Ossetian ӕфцӕг (æfcæg, neck), ӕфцӕггот (æfcæggot), ӕфцӕггуатӕ (æfcæggwatæ, collar).
