ծղնի

Etymology
A ghost word found in Norayr's French–Armenian dictionary and from there copied into later dictionaries. In his unfinished Middle Armenian dictionary, Norayr quotes the term in an unpublished passage by a certain Tēr Komitas who probably should be identified with Կոմիտաս Քյոմուրճյան (17th c.) of Constantinople, the brother of.

Likely borrowed from or a related word, because of the legend that the halcyons calm the waters, but the details are unclear.

Noun

 * 1)  kingfisher, halcyon
