Old Armenian

Etymology

The origin is usually considered unknown.[1][2]

Asatrian discovered a parallel in Khinalug кӏыт-ы́р (ḳɨt-ɨ́r, nose), for which a native Northeast Caucasian origin has been proposed (see there).[3] If it is indeed native, then քիթ (kʿitʿ) is a Northeast Caucasian borrowing. For other body part terms possibly borrowed from that family see մագիլ (magil).

  1. nose, snout, muzzle
