## Old Armenian
### Etymology

Usually derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éǵros (“field, pasturage”), but the final -տ (-t) instead of -ծ (-c) is irregular. Has also been linked with various non-Indo-European words: Proto-Semitic *ʔarṣ́- (“earth”), Sumerian 𒀀𒁕𒅈 (a-da-ar, “meadow”), 𒀀𒃼 (A.GAR$_3$), 𒅊 (AGAR$_4$, “field”), Akkadian 𒀀𒃼 (A.GAR$_3$ /⁠ugāru⁠/, “(communally controlled) meadow”), Hurrian 𒅈𒋼 (ar-te /⁠arde⁠/), Urartian 𒅈𒁲𒉌 (ar-di-ni /⁠ardi-ne⁠/, “town”), Chechen урд (urd), in plural ардаш (ardaš), Ingush урд (urd, “plot of arable land, allotment”).
See also արտ- (art-) and ագարակ (agarak).
