Old Armenian
Etymology
The origin is uncertain. Based on the citation «թլիփ ածեալ (ծարրով) պաճուճեաց զանտառս արտեւանանց» some dictionaries wrongly explain the word as “decoration, ornament”. However, the original meaning must have been “border, hem (especially a round one)”. From the word թլփատեմ (tʿlpʿatem, “to cut the foreskin round about, to circumcise”) post-classical authors falsely back-formed the sense of “privy parts; prepuce”.
Noun
թլիփ • (tʿlipʿ)
- a band sewn unto the borders of the collar or pockets for durability or as an ornament
- an arc of antimony drawn under the eyelashes
- թլիփ ածեալ (ծարրով) պաճուճեաց զանտառս արտեւանանց ― tʿlipʿ aceal (carrov) pačučeacʿ zantaṙs artewanancʿ ― drawing an arc (of antimony) she embellished the eyelashes
- (post-classical) the privy parts
- (post-classical) prepuce
