Arpa Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 It all depends on the context. AS to where and how you intend to use it. There is very little, almost no explanation as to the origin of the word. I will suggest something in the end. Here are some of the synonyms/homanish. Լկտի: անամոթ,անպարկեշտ, անհամեստ, անզգամ, լպիրշ, ցոփ, լիրբ. Աներես, անպատկառ, անամաչ, and many more some of which I have not heard and are se;ldom used. .Another common use as “lpirsh” would translate of “amoral”, without moral. No matter where one looks “anamot” is at the head of the list. In plain English it would be “shameless” and if we consider “anpatkar” it would be “disrespectful”. In formal English they would be respectively- impudent from the Latin “pudere/shame” and insolent, again from the Latin “solis/respect”. In fact a few of the sources translate the word as “impudent”. Coming back to the origin of the word. Does it not seem to be related, precariously tantamount to “լակոտ/lakot”?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zartonk Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 “լակոտ/lakot What exactly is the definition of lakot Arpa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakachik77 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 What exactly is the definition of lakot Arpa? I think "lakot" never started being a bad word. It basically was used I believe with describing animal pups, more specifically dog's pups, hence the expression "shan lakot", then "shun" was dropped and lakot was applied to people to describe a "young misbehaving unshnork male" and this is mostly in Eastern Armenian slang.

Arpa Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 We have talked about this at different times, even if indirectly. Here is one of them. I'm sure now we can expand on it even more. http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=1528&hl=tnaver Im kartsiqov, "lao"-n "la&"-i pagahqshakan dzevn e: H.G."&"-n jashi miji "j"-n e... Barev SAS, Bari es eker, after a long silence. If I am reading your transliteration correctly you are saying that lao is another form of eandearment (pagahkshakan) of "laj" You mean the "laj" in Komitas' Antuni where each verse ends with the refrain of "Ay! to laj tnaver". You may have a point there as "laj" according to Ajarian means "tgha". There is no explanation as to where it comes from or the origin of the word. Ajarian also mentions that many others use it in almost similar way including Kurdish etc. One suggestion which he rejects is that some have suggested that it is from the English "lad". I still meainatin that it probably has something to do with "lakot", only that it is modified to sound endearing rather than insulting. The Arabs also use "lak" in much the same way we use "dzo/tso", a soemwhat coarse way to address a boy. I will write about this under separate cover. Does anybody know a Kurd that speaks Kurdish?

Stver Broadcasting Inc. Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I believe the word "Lkstvats" was derived from the word "Lkti" and thus, "Lkstvats" or "Eres Arats" or anything of the likes, would refer to "Spoiled". Being spoiled can have multiple meanings in Armenian, from sexually perversely, to all all around disgusting individual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
