ծարբ
Armenian
Etymology
A ghost word found in Norayr's dictionary quoting Roszka's dictionary,[1] and hence copied into other dictionaries[2][3][4][5][6]. Most likely a literary corruption of ծարաւ (caraw, “thirst”) under the influence of քարբ (kʿarb). J̌axǰaxean's dictionary additionally glosses ծարաւ (caraw) as "thirst-causing serpent".[7] This is a misunderstanding of the passage in Deuteronomy 8:15, which see in ծարաւ (caraw).
