Etymology edit

Merged from Proto-Indo-European *h₃er- (stir, move) and *h₁er- (to move, go); the former is cognate with Ancient Greek ὄρνῡμῐ (órnūmi, to set upon; to arouse) and Old Armenian յառնեմ (yaṙnem, to rise, awake), while the latter is cognate with Ancient Greek ἔρχομαι (érkhomai, to go, come) and Albanian erdha (to have come, originated) (via a derivative *h₁erǵʰ- (to move)).
