## Old Armenian
### Etymology

The origin is uncertain. Perhaps from an adjective Proto-Indo-European *peri-ko- or a noun *peri-twom (“beyondness”), from the root *per- (“to go through; to carry forth, fare”). Alternatively, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *seri and cognate with Luwian 𒊬𒊑 (šarri, “above; up”), Lycian 𐊛𐊕𐊆 (hri, “up; on (top)”) and Ancient Greek ἐρι- (eri-, “very, high”), the sense ‘sufficient’ developing from the original meaning ‘all the way up, reaching the top’, and -ք (-kʻ) being a suffix forming adverbs with spatial meaning (see -աք (-akʻ)).
