## Old Armenian
### Alternative forms

* աւձիք (awjikʻ)

### Etymology

The original spelling is աւձիք (awjikʻ). -ք (-kʻ) is the plural marker. The etymology is uncertain.
Since Adontz usually connected with Ancient Greek αὐχήν (aukhḗn, “neck, throat; isthmus”), ἄμφην (ámphēn, “neck”), and derived from Proto-Indo-European, but there are great phonetic difficulties.
Compare Ossetian ӕфцӕг (æfcæg, “neck”), ӕфцӕггот (æfcæggot), ӕфцӕггуатӕ (æfcæggwatæ, “collar”).

### Noun

օձիք • (ōjikʻ) pl
* collar
** 5th century, Bible, Exodus 39.23:Եւ օձիք վտաւակացն անդէն ի նորին ի միջի անկուածոյ հիւսկէն՝ գրապանաւ օձիքն շուրջանակի անքակ։Ew ōjikʻ vtawakacʻn andēn i norin i miǰi ankuacoy hiwskēn, grapanaw ōjikʻn šurǰanaki ankʻak.
