In his review of the proposed etymologies of some “recently rediscovered” words, recorded in medieval dictionaries, Gevorg Jahukyan notes that the study of lexicographic monuments of medieval Armenia provides important material for the history of Armenian language and etymology.
The fundamental source are manuscript dictionaries of synonyms of the 12th-17th centuries. As there are no textual examples in these dictionaries, an attempt is made to deduct the existence of words from the structures of Armenian language formation, dictionaries published later, and, to the extent possible, textual examples.
We study the verbs аrakcel, аrbasrel, hakazinel, hakamartel,manrakhuzel, negharkel, paymanavorel, sakarkel, and trtmakcel.
Considering the aforementioned verbs, it turns out that the scribes created or added verbs that were used by contemporaries: these words are recorded in the dictionary Mekhitar Sebastatsi (18th century) and, according to dictionaries, are preserved in the Eastern and Western Armenian branches of the Armenian language.
