Etymology
Usually considered a word of origin. Patrubány (apud Ačaṙean) and Urišean derive from 🇨🇬, however this is rejected by Ačaṙean because the word is attested already in the 5th century, when Armenian had no contact with Arabic yet.

More likely borrowed from /  /, absolute state  /  / , which has the same meaning as the Armenian adjective in 🇨🇬 borrowed from it, vouching for the popularity of the meaning “simple-minded, simpleton” of this word for “lamb” in lesser-known Aramaic lects, the consonantism of which is illustrated by variants like 🇨🇬 for the ʾahlā in the other Aramaics, or the general observation that under the disguise of conservative spellings the initial consonants ʾ  and y  were prone to be dropped, the former a universal trend towards , 🇨🇬 and modern 🇨🇬, the latter as well evidenced early enough by 🇨🇬 for.
