Etymology
Ottoman Turkish looks to be more probable. --Z 18:57, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * No, I don't think so. The literary form was taken from the Tbilisi dialect of Armenian, far from Turkey. This -r- comes from somewhere else. It is also found in Georgian, Russian dialectal (Astrakhan) . The relationship between the gazillion forms is very confusing. I don't know who borrowed from whom. --Vahag (talk) 00:02, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * All forms of have initial p (and v), it is unlike to be from Arabic, unless it's a common sound change in the language, but still unlikely to be from Arabic, because apparently Mid. Armenian has words with initial b, but the Mid. Armenian word doesn't have any forms with initial b. --Z 06:08, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Don't be confused by orthography. In Middle Armenian, as in modern Western Armenian, was pronounced as /b/ and  as /d͡ʒ/. So we have MArm.  from Old French,  MArm.  from Old French ,  MArm.  from Italian . --Vahag (talk) 08:44, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
