Etymology

J̌ahukyan considers the origin uncertain.[1]

Almost certainly an Iranian borrowing: compare Middle Persian [Inscriptional Pahlavi needed] (TMH /anōδ/), [Book Pahlavi needed] (TME /ānōh, *ānōy/), 𐫀𐫗𐫇𐫆‎ (ʾnwẖ /anōh/, “there”), 𐫀𐫇𐫏‎ (ʾwy /ōy/, “there”), Parthian [script needed] (TMH /ōδ/), 𐫀𐫇𐫇𐫅‎ (ʾwwd /ōδ/, “there”).
