arxac

== Azerbaijani == === Etymology === Perhaps doublet of dialectal arxanc (“vegetable garden; household plot”), that is arxa (“back [of the house]”) +‎ -(n)c. Final -nc varies regularly with -c, compare e.g. Azerbaijani qılıc~qılınc (“sword”).

Cognate with the synonymous dialectal Turkish arkaç, argaç, arhaç, arḫaç. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ɑrxɑd͡ʒ], [ɑrxɑd͡z] Hyphenation: ar‧xac === Noun === arxac (definite accusative arxacı, plural arxaclar) resting place for sheep or cattle out in the free during herding in the summer ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== arxaclamaq arxaclanmaq ==== Descendants ==== → Armenian: արխաջ (arxaǰ) → Khinalug: архадж (arꭓaǯ) → Tsakhur: архадж (arꭓaǯ) === References === Orucov, Əliheydər, editor (2006), “arxac”, in Azərbaycan dilinin izahlı lüğəti [Explanatory Dictionary of the Azerbaijani Language]‎[1] (in Azerbaijani), 2nd edition, volume 1, Baku: Şərq-Qərb
