Perhaps an Anatolian borrowing?
[edit]In karmak starling.rinet.ru/ mentions an Anatolian borrowing. Maybe the phonetic affinity is a coincidence? Yet particularly խառը (xaṙə) sounds strikingly similar to regional, informal? karık (mixed).
Etymology
[edit]From Ottoman Turkish قارمق (karmak, “to meddle, interfere with, disarrange”), from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (kar-, “to mix”), from Proto-Turkic *Kiār- (“to mix”).[1] Flāvidus (talk) 02:58, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Flāvidus: a Turkic etymology should not be attempted for Armenian words attested before the 11th century Seljuk invasions into Armenia. A borrowing before that is physically impossible. Vahag (talk) 12:23, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
