Abstract

Abstract

The paper discusses two possible borrowings between Classical Armenian and Caucasian Albanian (CAlb.). It is argued that CAlb. is borrowed from Arm. attested in two of the earliest Armenian inscriptions and modern Armenian dialects. The similarity of CAlb. - “nurse” and Arm. “maid, female servant” is probably not due to chance.
