յիմար

Old Armenian

Etymology

Usually considered a word of unknown origin.[1][2] Patrubány (apud Ačaṙean) and Urišean derive from Arabic حِمَار (ḥimār, donkey), however this is rejected by Ačaṙean because the word is attested already in the 5th century, when Armenian had no contact with Arabic yet.[3][1]

More likely borrowed from Aramaic אִימְּרָא / אִמְּרָא (ʾimmərā) / ܐܶܡܪܳܐ (ʾemmərā, lamb), absolute state אִימַּר / אִמַּר (ʾimmar) / ܐܶܡܱܪ (ʾemmar), which has the same meaning as the Armenian adjective in Arabic إِمَّر (ʾimmar) borrowed from it, vouching for the popularity of the meaning “simple-minded, simpleton” of this word for “lamb” in lesser-known Aramaic lects, the consonantism of which is illustrated by variants like Classical Syriac ܝܗܠܐ (yahlā) for the ʾahlā in the other Aramaics, or the general observation that under the disguise of conservative spellings the initial consonants ʾ (/ʔ/) and y (/j/) were prone to be dropped, the former a universal trend towards Neo-Aramaic, Punic and modern Ethiopian Semitic, the latter as well evidenced early enough by Arabic هُود (hūd) for يَهُود (yahūd, Jews).
