Alternative forms[edit]

  • ուղ ()post-Classical

Etymology[edit]

Inherited from some suffixed zero-grade formation of Proto-Indo-European *h₂ewlós, perhaps *h₂uliyo- or — to explain -ղ- (-ł-) instead of -լ- (-l-)*h₂ulnyo-. Among the cognates compare especially Proto-Slavic *ùlica. The unsuffixed stem may be preserved in post-classical ուղ ().

Usage notes[edit]

In compounds the word is sometimes misspelled as ուղղ- (ułł-) by confusion with ուղիղ (ułił).
