Valthungian

Pronunciation

Valthungian Phonology: /ˈdri.ʨin/

Etymology

From Middle Valthungian daritjin. Who the heck knows? Spices are weird. Compare Persian دارچینی‎ (dâr-e-čini, dârčini) and Old Armenian դարիճենիկ (daričenik), both from Middle Iranian *dār-i-čēnīk ‘Chinese tree’, Aramaic דַּרְצִינִי‎ (darṣīnī), and Classical Syriac ܕܪܨܝܢܝ‎ (dārṣīnī), ܨܝܢܕܪܓ‎ (ṣīndreḡ). It is a mystery how the word travelled from Persian to Valthungian, and equally mysterious why the Valthungian form did not retain the long vowel in dār-, or indeed why it vanished altogether.
