Old Armenian[edit]
Alternative forms[edit]
- սիմինտր (simintr)
Etymology[edit]
Belongs to the same family of borrowed terms as Arabic سَمِيذ (samīḏ). The immediate source of the Armenian is said to be Ancient Greek σεμίδαλις (semídalis),[1][2][3] but the phonetic correspondence is irregular. The -ն- (-n-) is found also in Old Georgian სიმინდოჲ / სიმინდი (simindoy / simindi, “fine flour”), Georgian სიმინდი (simindi, “corn, maize”). For the shape of the word compare Old Armenian կղմինդր (kłmindr).
Noun[edit]
