[edit ]Etymology
[edit ]From Proto-Tocharian *erkent (whence also Tocharian B erkent ), but from there uncertain. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *h1regw- ("to be dark") (cognate with Ancient Greek Ἔρεβος (Érebos), Old Norse røkkr ("twilight"), etc.) or Proto-Indo-European *h2erǵ- ("white, shining") (cognate with Latin argentum and semantically akin to English black <> bleach ).
Adjective
[edit ]arkant
Usage notes
[edit ]- This word was often used as a compound, as the Tocharian languages were particularly agglutinative.
