Interjection

Forms: vay [romanization]
Etymology: PIE word *wáy Borrowed from Parthian 𐫇𐫀𐫏 (wʾy /⁠wāy⁠/) or Middle Persian 𐫇𐫀𐫏 (wʾy /⁠wāy⁠/, “woe, woe to!”) (whence Persian وای (vây)), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *wáy. The attempts to treat վայ (vay) as an inheritance from Proto-Indo-European *wáy are unnecessary and irregular, as word-initial prevocalic *w- yields գ- (g-) in Armenian: compare գայլ (gayl), գառն (gaṙn), գետ (get) etc, whereas the Iranian borrowing is perfectly regular.
