բոյթ
Old Armenian
Etymology 1
Martirosyan considers the basic meaning to be “soft lump of flesh; roundish projecting part of the body” developed from the sense “swollen, grown” from Proto-Armenian *bo-, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (“to grow”), + -իթ (-itʿ).
Alternative forms

Noun
բոյթ • (boytʿ)

- (figuratively, music) tuning peg
- *soft lump of flesh, lobe (this sense is not attested, but is evident in derived terms)
