𐕄𐔰𐔾𐔰

Aghwan

Etymology

Uncertain. Akin to the synonymous Rutul кӏала, кӏалаь, кӏал, Tsakhur кӏаа-на, кӏава-на (wherein в developed from earlier *l), as well as to Old Armenian կաղ (kał).

If the Lezghian terms have a native Northeast Caucasian origin, as has been suggested, then the Armenian is borrowed from them.[1][2][3] Alternatively, they may have been borrowed from Armenian.[4][5][6][7] Finally, all the terms mentioned here may be borrowed from a third source, perhaps Kartvelian. See կաղ (kał) for more.
