Etymology

Probably a post-classical development of տապք (tapkʿ), the plural of տապ (tap). For the sound changes compare չափք (čʿapʿkʿ)Middle Armenian չաք (čʿakʿ), թամբք (tʿambkʿ)Middle Armenian թամք (tʿamkʿ).[1] Because some of the attestations are from classical works, Ačaṙean assumes a corruption of the texts by later copyists.
