տիվիթ

Armenian

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish دویت (divit), ultimately from Arabic دَوَاة (dawāh).

Pronunciation

Noun

տիվիթ (tivitʿ) (Nor Nakhichevan, obsolete)

  1. inkstand, a pencase with inkwell, worn in the girdle by scribes
    Synonyms: թանաքաման (tʿanakʿaman), գրչաման (grčʿaman)

Usage notes

Malxasjan glosses դիվիթ (divitʿ) with "ink" and դիվիթաման (divitʿaman) (containing աման (aman)) with "inkstand". But this contradicts all other dictionaries which know only the sense "inkstand" for the first word and do not know the second word at all.
