հայթեմ

Old Armenian

Etymology

The origin is uncertain. According to Martirosyan, who develops J̌ahukyan's etymology, perhaps a denominative verb based on an otherwise unattested noun *հայթ- (*haytʿ-) from Proto-Indo-European *sh₂y-ti- or *s(e)h₂i-tu- from the root *sh₂y-, *séh₂i- (to bind) and cognate with Sanskrit सिनाति (sinā́ti, to bind, fasten, fetter), सेतु (sétu, band, fetter, dam, bridge), Old High German seid (cord), Lithuanian siẽti (to bind, tie), Russian сеть (setʹ) and perhaps հիանամ (hianam).
