Abstract
The three words subjected here to etymological analysis, առավոտ, ընթրիք, գոր, have not been analysed by Hrachya Acharian. While the analysis of Gevorg Djahukian is not convincing, the author offers new solutions to the analysis of these three root words.
A detailed analysis of առավոտ concludes that it is much more reasonable to view its main component աւ (աւ-աւոտ) as a phonetic change of the Old Armenian word առ (ar-day), where the առ is a preposition and աւոտ is a suffix. Thus, the word would mean «առաւոտ» (towards the day).
As for the word գոր, the author maintains the view held by Nikoğayos Adonts. Basing his analysis on historic and especially additional linguistic evidence, Petrosyan notes that the Armenian գոր is a loan-word from the Pahlavi (Middle Persian 2ⁿᵈ century BC to 9ᵗʰ century AD) language. Accordingly, the Pahlavi գոր (քոր) kar and the Armenian քար/kar/> գոր/gor/ are the same. Phonetic as well as semantic analyses of the word ընթրիք (supper) reveal the connection with the Hittite word etri (meal, food). In addition, word formation analysis shows that the word ընթրիք (supper) is composed of the preposition ընթ (ընթ), shortened form of the root ընթ-/ընթ-, and the suffix -իք (not -րիք).
