Usage notes

  • In the Bible, translates Ancient Greek ἀσπάλαξ (aspálax).
  • The passage in Arcruni alludes to Leviticus 11.30 which refers to mice and moles as unclean animals.
  • Some dictionaries postulate a nominative *խլուրդն (*xlurdn) based on the genitive խլրդան (xlrdan), but it could be the genitive of the form խլիրդն (xlirdn) attested as a variant reading of the sense "gangrene, canker".
