Old Armenian
Etymology
Martirosyan reconstructs the earlier form as *հագի (*hagi) with the basic meaning of “edge”, connects the word with հաւ (haw, “beginning”) and derives both from Proto-Indo-European *p(e)h₂w-.
Usage notes
The unattested sense “penis” is proven by ագ-ատ (ag-at, “whose penis is cut off”)
