Armenian cognates w/other languages

Re: Armenian cognates w/other languages

First you say the following:

Lucin, chill for a sec. Did say that it was a loan word from Turkish? No. If you bothered to look at my previous post, or other people's posts,

And then this:

you'd see that the word "Turkish" was a just a header for what language the foreign word is from.

You are just contradicting yourself.

In my last post I have "navalis" from latin, as a cognate for "nav." Am i claiming we took this word from Latin? (no). For all we know Latin took it from Armenian, or we both took it from another source, all I was doing was pointing out the relation

The reader may not know what goes through your mind and how you make these connections unless you bother yourself and bring it clearly into words. By putting the header Turkish and then writing the Armenian word below, next to it, you implicitly imply that the origin/ root is Turkish. Perhaps putting Armenian/ Turkish as header would be less confusing and more accurate?

Re: Armenian cognates w/other languages

Latin and Armenian are both branches of Indo-European. Our language is related to all latin languages as well as many many others like germanic.

This is a map of countries where indo european is spoken...

As you can see Turks and the other oriental asians are not on there.


Turks use Kach for Cross, Thats the only word I know for cross. So there are some shared words I guess. But then again I thought Jeyran, Chenteh, Efferim and oghlun were Armenian at one time.

You can't be serious. Have you looked up for its etymology? In Persian, Anar is the equivalent of "նուռ". So what you consider to be Turkish with such confidence is most probably Persian in origin.

As I said earlier, throwing words from Turkish without mentioning its origin and going as far as attributing the origin of Armenian words to them is at best laughable.

The word sugar seems to be dissipated from one origin. In Turkish, Arabic, Armenian, English, German, it is pronounced more or less the same.
