Old Armenian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
The origin is uncertain.
Usually treated as an onomatopoeia, with similar formations in Indo-European and non-Indo-European languages, e.g. Ancient Greek κόραξ (kórax), Latin corvus, Old High German hraban, Turkish karga, Arabic غُرَاب (ḡurāb), Hebrew עוֹרֵב (ʿōrēḇ). But more likely a Semitic borrowing, ultimately from Proto-Semitic *ḡurayb- (“raven, crow”), whence especially Arabic غُرَاب (ḡurāb), plural أَغْرُب (ʔaḡrub), Shehri ʾaġəréb, Mehri haġaráyb, yəġəráyb, yəġərēb, Soqotri ʾáʿrəb.
Noun[edit]

- crow, Corvus corone; raven, Corvus corax
- 5th century, with changes and additions in later centuries, Baroyaxōs [Physiologus] Earliest recension (TR).31.2–3:[1][2]
- Բարոյախաւսն ասէ զագռաւէ, եթէ միայնայր է։ Եւ թէ մեռանի վարուժանն, էգն յայլ վարուժան չհպի։
- Baroyaxawsn asē zagṙawē, etʻē miaynayr ē. Ew tʻē meṙani varužann, ēgn yayl varužan čʻhpi.
- Translation by Gohar Muradyan
- Physiologus says about the crow that it is monogamous, and if the male dies, the female does not touch other male.
- Բարոյախաւսն ասէ զագռաւէ, եթէ միայնայր է։ Եւ թէ մեռանի վարուժանն, էգն յայլ վարուժան չհպի։
- 6th century, Philo of Alexandria, Yałags ban unel ew anasun kendaneacʻd, aṙ Liwsimakʻos [De Animalibus] :[3][4]
- Քանզի կեռնեխք՝ եւ ագռաւք եւ պապկայք, եւ որ միանգամ հոմանմանք, զի թէպէտ եւ զանազանագոյն բարբառեսցին, յօդաւոր ո՛չ երբէք եւ ո՛չ իւիք ձայն կարասցեն հանել։
- Kʻanzi keṙnexkʻ, ew agṙawkʻ ew papkaykʻ, ew or miangam homanmankʻ, zi tʻēpēt ew zanazanagoyn barbaṙescʻin, yōdawor óčʻ erbēkʻ ew óčʻ iwikʻ jayn karascʻen hanel.
- Translation by Abraham Terian
- Although blackbirds, crows, parrots, and all the like can produce different kinds of utterances, they cannot produce an articulated voice in any manner whatever.
