In the Patmut‘iwn ałuanic‘ ašxarhi by Movsês Dasxuranc‘i, one can find the term č‘op‘ay (չոփայ), not Armenian, which seems to have a perfect counterpart in coppaj (цоппай), a word present in Ossetian, but not Ossetic itself. This study examines the two terms and considers whether they can be truly connected. It also investigates their possible etymology as well as from which language (or languages) they may have respectively entered Armenian and Ossetian.

Abstract
In the Patmut‘iwn ałuanic‘ ašxarhi by Movsês Dasxuranc‘i, one can find the term č‘op‘ay (չոփայ), not Armenian, which seems to have a perfect counterpart in coppaj (цоппай), a word present in Ossetian, but not Ossetic itself. This study examines the two terms and considers whether they can be truly connected. It also investigates their possible etymology as well as from which language (or languages) they may have respectively entered Armenian and Ossetian.File in questo prodotto:
