## Old Armenian
### Alternative forms

* կորկուտ (korkut)

### Etymology

Ačaṙean derives from Proto-Indo-European *gʷo-gʷrod-, a reduplication of *gʷrod-, with such cognates as Lithuanian grūsti (“to pound barley for making groats”), grū́das (“grain”), Latvian grūst (“to pound”), grauds (“grain”), Russian гру́да (grúda, “heap”), English grout, German Grütze (“groats”), Proto-Germanic *grautaz (“coarse, crude; big, large”), *greutą (“grit”) etc. He concedes that the anlaut is problematic being usually reconstructed as *gʰ- for the cognates (e.g. Pokorny has *gʰrēw-), which is incompatible with Armenian կ- (k-).
An interesting parallel is seen in կարկուտ (karkut).

### Noun

կորկոտ • (korkot)
* groats of wheat
