"աւաղ" meaning in Old Armenian

See աւաղ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Interjection

Forms: awał [romanization]
Etymology: The etymology is uncertain. Ačaṙean rules out a borrowing from semantically identical and phonetically similar Persian آوخ (âvax, “alas”), since this would yield *աւախ (*awax) instead, and considers it more plausible that the word was borrowed into Persian in the period of Armenian where ղ (ġ) was pronounced like a guttural fricative. Note that Middle Armenian աւաղ (awaġ) reveals an additional meaning "lean, emaciated".
