Old Armenian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
The origin is disputed. The only explanation to account for both root and suffix both phonetically and semantically is found in Nielsen 2023, which explains it as a borrowing from an unattested Urartian equivalent of Hurrian Hurrian tabrinni (“smith”). Cognate with Sumerian 𒁾𒉄 (/tabira, tibira/, “joiner, craftsman, sculptor”), likely itself a loan from Hurrian 𒋰𒄿𒊑 (tab-i-ri /tabiri/, “metal founder, caster, (copper)smith”). Alternatively derived from Proto-Indo-European *dʰh₂ebʰ- (“to put together, fit”) + unparalleled **-rin(o/eh₂) < *-ro- (Caland adjectivalizer) + *-i(H)no (material adjectivalizer), as a cognate of Latin faber and Proto-Slavic *dobrъ. Even without a PIE derivation, it could still be related to faber as a Mediterranean-Pontic substrate word, together with broader cognates like Latin ferrum (“iron”).
- Nielsen: Hurian 𒋰𒄿𒊑 (/tabiri, dabiri/, “smith”) a deverbal noun from tab-/taw- (/tab-, dab-/, “to cast (metal)”) + -ir-i (agentive participle suffix); Armenian darbin borrowed before the Armenian *-br- > -rb- metathesis from Urartian **dabrinni equivalent to Hurrian tabrinni (“smith”) < 𒋰𒄿𒊑 (/tabiri, dabiri/, “smith (informal)”) + -r-inni (individualizing suffix).[1]
- Martirosyan: Armenian darbin from oblique *dʰabʰ-r- + -*(s)neh₂- (“to swim; to float”); Hurrian 𒋰𒄿𒊑 (/tabiri/, “smith”) borrowed through Urartian from Armenian.[2]
Noun[edit]
դարբին • (darbin)
Usage notes[edit]
In some attested passages Martirosyan sees the additional sense “heathen priest; poet”, which possibly originates from the Indo-European tradition.
