ճիւ

Etymology
Ačaṙyan and J̌ahukyan consider the origin of the word.

Martirosyan proposes derivation from, attested only in the compound , reconstructed from 🇨🇬, which Lubotsky connects with 🇨🇬, reconstructing 🇨🇬, interpreting it as a compound of the word for ‘bone’ (compare 🇨🇬) with a reflex of 🇨🇬 (compare 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬/, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬). If Martirosyan's etymology is correct, Armenian provides us with the only independent evidence for 🇨🇬.
