Old Armenian

Etymology 1

The origin is uncertain. Usually considered an inheritance from Proto-Indo-European *guh₁-ro/eh₂- from the root *gew- (“to bend”) and cognate with with Ancient Greek γῦρος (gûros, “ring, circle”), γυρός (gurós, “round”), Old Armenian կոր (kor, “curved”).[1][2][3][4] Awgerean compares with Persian کر‎ (korr, “sandy ground where water collects and filters itself clear; well; small cistern or reservoir; Babylonian dry measure of six ass-loads or sixty قفیز‎ (qafiz)”),[5][6] which is from Arabic كُرّ‎ (kurr, “dry measure”). Compare also Arabic قُرْقُور‎ (qurqūr), Classical Syriac ܩܪܩܘܪܐ‎ (qarqūrā), Ancient Greek κέρκουρος (kérkouros), denoting various kinds of boats and ships. See also կրիայ (kriay).
