Akkadian foreign word
I had the strange feeling that the source of 🇨🇬 may be have been borrowed into Armenian too, and here I am,. There is not too much been written about the Akkadian words, especially before the 21st century, hence they have easily been missed in Armenology. From Daniel Bodi (2013): Akkadian and Aramaic Terms for a “Favorable Time’. In: Time and History in the Ancient Near East page 53, who is commented with additional Critical and Philological Notes about the meaning of the Akkadian word, I remember to have come, in January when I created the entry, to the conclusion that the Aramaic terms are from Akkadian, scraping together more Akkadian forms from elsewhere for my demonstrations. Note the relevant transcription adiānu, [https://www.google.com/books/edition/A_Concise_Dictionary_of_Akkadian/-qIuVCsRb98C?gbpv=1&pg=PA4&printsec=frontcover Breckwoldt p. 4a].

That this word would be an etymological twin to, as some Frenchmen suggest, by reason that initial w commonly becomes ∅ in Akkadian and ʕ becomes e-colouring, one may doubt in view of the variants. Fay Freak (talk) 02:13, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * this has been proposed but has gone unnoticed. I think it is easier and likelier than the traditional PIE derivation. --Vahag (talk) 16:45, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
