Old Armenian

Etymology

The origin is uncertain. Traditionally explained as "goat (skin)" and connected with Proto-West Germanic *tigā (“she-goat”), *tikkīn (“kid, young goat”, diminutive), Laconian Ancient Greek δίζα (díza, “goat”), and derived from Proto-Indo-European *digʰ- (“goat”), but that would rather give *տիգ (*tig). Similar words are found in non-Indo-European languages: Old Georgian თიკანი (tiḳani, “kid, young goat”), Proto-Avaro-Andian *ṭuka (“he-goat”),[1] Proto-Tsezian *ṭiġ̥₁a (“he-goat”),[2] Proto-Turkic *teke (“he-goat”)[3]. The interrelationship of these forms is uncertain. Finally, note the group of Semitic words meaning "wineskin" or "goatskin": Imperial Aramaic 𐡆𐡒‎ (zq), Jewish Palestinian Aramaic, Jewish Literary Aramaic, Jewish Babylonian Aramaic זִיקָּא‎ (ziqqā), Classical Syriac ܙܩܐ‎ (zeqqā), Arabic زِقّ‎ (ziqq), Akkadian 𒋢𒍣𒄣 (KUŠzi-qu /ziqqu/).
