"երախայ" meaning in Old Armenian

See երախայ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

Etymology: Borrowed from the Semitic etymon of Ancient Greek ῥακά (rhaká), ῥαχά (rhakhá), ῥαχᾶς (rhakhâs), Old Armenian ռակայ (ṙakay, “idiot, fool”): compare Aramaic רֵיקָא (rēqā, “worthless person; profane”), Classical Syriac ܪܝܩܐ (rēqā, “vain thing”), Hebrew רֵיק (rēq, “empty; vain; worthless”). The connection with ռակայ (ṙakay) was made already by Hiwnkʿearpēyēntean. Basil describes Ancient Greek ῥακά (rhaká) as "a vernacular word of mild abuse used in the family circle". For the sense development ‘fool’ → ‘child’ see խոխա (xoxa). Alternatively, the sense development is ‘worthless person’ → ‘profane person’ → ‘unbaptized person’ → ‘child’. For the alternation երախայ (eraxay) ~ երեխայ (erexay), compare Ancient Greek ῥαχά (rhakhá) ~ Aramaic רֵיקָא (rēqā), if we are not dealing with vowel assimilation within Armenian. The initial ե- (e-) is a prothetic vowel added to words starting with ր- (r-) according to well-known phonotactic constraints of Armenian, as in եղբայր (ełbayr), երագ (erag), երակ (erak), երախ (erax), երասան (erasan) etc. Doublet of ռակայ (ṙakay).

  "etymology_text": "Borrowed from the Semitic etymon of Ancient Greek ῥακά (rhaká), ῥαχά (rhakhá), ῥαχᾶς (rhakhâs), Old Armenian ռակայ (ṙakay, “idiot, fool”): compare Aramaic רֵיקָא (rēqā, “worthless person; profane”), Classical Syriac ܪܝܩܐ (rēqā, “vain thing”), Hebrew רֵיק (rēq, “empty; vain; worthless”). The connection with ռակայ (ṙakay) was made already by Hiwnkʿearpēyēntean. Basil describes Ancient Greek ῥακά (rhaká) as \"a vernacular word of mild abuse used in the family circle\". For the sense development ‘fool’ → ‘child’ see խոխա (xoxa). Alternatively, the sense development is ‘worthless person’ → ‘profane person’ → ‘unbaptized person’ → ‘child’. For the alternation երախայ (eraxay) ~ երեխայ (erexay), compare Ancient Greek ῥαχά (rhakhá) ~ Aramaic רֵיקָא (rēqā), if we are not dealing with vowel assimilation within Armenian.\nThe initial ե- (e-) is a prothetic vowel added to words starting with ր- (r-) according to well-known phonotactic constraints of Armenian, as in եղբայր (ełbayr), երագ (erag), երակ (erak), երախ (erax), երասան (erasan) etc.\nDoublet of ռակայ (ṙakay).\nSee also Արախա (Araxa).",
