Armenian

Etymology 1

Widespread in the dialects. The origin is uncertain. Ačaryan identifies with homonymous սինձ (sinj, hawthorn).[1] Asatrian derives from the Iranian family discussed in Persian اسفناج (esfenâj).[2] Compare especially Northern Kurdish şeng, şing (Tragopogon pratensis) from that family.[3]
