Armenian cognates w/other languages

[Armenian]

Re: Armenian cognates w/other languages

payts/bayts - but

ked (suffix derived from kidnal, to know) - ken (Scottish word for 'know' as in "I dinna ken")

Lij - lake

goshig/koshik - shoe

voki - vocal (involves breath which is related to spirit [as in inspire, respiration etc.])

Thanks Womble, I had forgotten the Armenian-English connections Lij-lake and bayts-but.

Goshik-shoe is very probably and is one I had not yet noticed.

Voki-vocal is on thin ice, but probable...

Scottish-Armenian should have more words in common for the Scots are direct decedents of Historic Armenia.

I've heard that linguistically, there is a relevant amount of ancient connection that doesn't look like it's just coincidence. I don't know what to make of it though and if Armenian could explain in greater detail, I'd also be interested.

tari (year) - tarry (to linger)

Probably stretching it a bit, but I thought I might as well mention it.
