չանչ
Armenian
Etymology
Uncertain. Probably related to չեչ (čʿečʿ), չենչ (čʿenčʿ), չաչ (čʿačʿ) and possibly also to ճաճ (čač). According to Ačaṙean, a Kartvelian borrowing: compare Proto-Georgian-Zan *čečw- and Georgian ჭაჭა (č̣ač̣a). According to him, Persian جنجه (janja, “grape stone”) may be related as well.
