գանձաւոր

Old Armenian

Etymology

Not formed in Armenian as գանձ (ganj) + -աւոր (-awor), but borrowed wholly from Iranian. Compare Middle Persian 𐭢𐭭𐭦𐭥𐭡𐭥 (gnzʿbʿ) / gncwbl (ganjwar), Parthian 𐭂𐭍𐭆𐭁𐭓 (ganzbar), and Median *ganzabara-. The ending was modified under the influence of the suffix -աւոր (-awor).
