A Note on Armenian-Caucasian Albanian Contacts: The Words for “Bishop” and “Maid”
The paper discusses two possible borrowings between Classical Armenian and Caucasian Albanian (CAlb.). It is argued that CAlb. isḳaṗos is borrowed from Arm. (e)piskapos attested in two of the earliest Armenian inscriptions and modern Armenian dialects. The similarity of CAlb. axal- “nurse” and Arm. ałaxin “maid, female servant” is probably not due to chance.
