Old Armenian
Etymology
The origin is uncertain. Has been compared to Middle Armenian ախազ (axaz, “ermine”), Sanskrit कशीका (kaṡīkā́, “weasel”), Persian خز (xaz, “marten”), Middle Persian kʾkwm (kākom, “stoat”), Proto-Turkic *kīĺ (“sable”) (whence e.g. Kazakh кіс (kis)). To the comparison can also be added Kazakh ақкіс (aqkis, “ermine”), presumably with ақ (aq, “white”).
