ՇԱՄՓՈՒՐSkewer

Խորուածի Համար
Skewer, Shish
I was reading some old posts when I ran across this where someone brought this subject of shashlik, assuming that it is an exclusively Russian word and invention. The “lik” **ending is grammatically furkish.
See @52 here.

Here wew will see that it is a furko Persian word “shishlik” Where shish means skewer, shampour in Armenian.

While reading about shampour I remembered a legend. When the guards caught up with the treacherous Anak, king Khosrov’s assassin , they wrapped a red hot shampur around his head and said- “There, now we crown you as king”.
Anak was the father of Grigor Pahlav, later known as Loussavorich.
How does one sort out Armenian Mythology from History?
**Upon further musings, it dawned on m that the adjective/,ածական adverb/ մակբայforming suffix “lik” may in fact be of Armenian origin.. See Ասելիք, անելիք Շամփուրելիք, Պարապ Վախթի ԽաղաԼԻՔ
What is the difference of adjective/,ածական and adverb/ մակբայ??
