Declension[edit]

Old Armenian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Ultimately from Akkadian 𒁍𒌑𒄷 (pu-u-ḫu /⁠pūḫu⁠/, exchange, substitute, replacement; loan), perhaps via Urartian 𒁍𒄭 (pu-ḫi /⁠pūḫi⁠/, change, alter) or Hurrian 𒁍𒄭 (pu-ḫu /⁠pôḫi, pūḫi⁠/, barter, exchange)[1][2][3] since the phoneme /o/ is absent from Akkadian.[4] The verbal attestation Urartian 𒁍𒄭𒀀𒉌 (pu-ḫi-a-ni /⁠pūḫiani⁠/, let him not alter) is sometimes adduced as an argument for a specifically Urartian source,[5] though it does not exclude a direct borrowing from an unattested Hurrian verbal form.[4]
