Old Armenian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Connected with Albanian zog, perhaps also Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (zhk'), 𐫉𐫍𐫃 (zhg /zahag/, “offspring, child”), Parthian 𐫉𐫍𐫃 (zhg /zahag/, “offspring, child”), Persian زه (zah, “offspring of men or of cattle”), زاق (zâq, “the young of anything”), Pashto [script needed] (zag), Sogdian [script needed] (zʾk /zāk/, “child”), which go back to Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰāgʷʰ- (Pokorny, Ačaṙean, J̌ahukyan) or *ǵʰāgʰu- (Olsen).
According to Hübschmann (followed by Pokorny), Armenian is borrowed from Iranian, but in that case *զագ (*zag) was expected, as is pointed out by J̌ahukyan and Olsen.
Georgian ზაქი (zaki, “buffalo calf”) and Classical Syriac ܙܓܐ (zagā, “chicken”) are borrowed from Iranian.
Noun
[edit]ձագ • (jag)
- youngling, nestling
- Synonym: կոտիկ (kotik)
- 5th century, with changes and additions in later centuries, Baroyaxōs [Physiologus] Earliest recension (TR).7.2–3:[1]

- Baruaxawsn asē zhawalusn, tʻē kari ordesēr ē; ew yoržam hanē zjagsn, ew sakawik mi ačen, aptaken zeress hawrn ew mawrn.
- Translation by Gohar Muradyan
- Physiologus says about the pelican that it is an extraordinary lover of its young. And when it brings forth nestlings and they grow a bit, they slap their father and mother on the face.
- Բարուախաւսն ասէ զհաւալուսն, թէ կարի որդեսէր է․ եւ յորժամ հանէ զձագսն, եւ սակաւիկ մի աճեն, ապտակեն զերեսս հաւրն եւ մաւրն։
