Etymology
An Iranian borrowing. Compare Old Persian 𐎴𐎳𐎫 (naft), Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (npt' /naft/, “naphtha”), Persian نفت (naft) and Central Kurdish نەوت (newt). Armenian նավթ (navtʿ) is a modern borrowing; the regular development from Old Armenian նաւթ (nawtʿ) would have been նոթ (notʿ), indeed found in some dialects.
