Old Armenian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Ačaṙyan leaves the origin of the word open. According to J̌ahukyan, borrowed from an unknown Iranian source, probably descended from Proto-Indo-European *kʷer- (“a kind of dish or pot”); compare Sanskrit चरु (carú-, “kinde of vessel, pot”). See Pokorny for this root.
Noun[edit]
կահոյր • (kahoyr)
Usage notes[edit]
The word is a hapax legomenon, attested only in Buzand.
