Although this item may be of linguistic nature, yet it is also of cultural nature.

BTW. In that non-language “postal” means “boot” :oops: . I mean high shoe, which in Armenian is “muyk/ՄՈՅԿ“. Nevertheless see the English word and how it sounds in the Armenian. In that rotten sons of whores “culture” the word is used as a euphemism for “whore”. I have no idea where they got the word from, remember that in French the high shoe is known as “potine”” and in vulgar Italian “puttan/boutan” means whore.

ՄՈՅԿ

((ի-ա հլ. ըստ ՆՀԲ. բայց առանց վկայութեան))

«ոտնաման, հողաթափ, կօշիկ»

((ի-ա հլ. ըստ ՆՀԲ. բայց առանց վկայութեան))

«ոտնաման, հողաթափ, կօշիկ»

մոյկ. Բուզ. 209. Փարպ. Վրք. հց. որից միամոյկ Փարպ. - արմատը գրուած է նաեւ մոյգ, մոգ. - նոր գրականում (արեւմտեան բարբառ) ընդունուած էր միայն մոյկ ձեւը եւ նշանակում էր «մինչեւ ծունկը հասնող կօշիկ, ճիզմէ»: - Իսկ ձորձմոյկ տես ձորձ: (origin:) պհլ.

Note; I also found out why some womens’ shoes are called “stiletto” from the Italian to mean small/slender dagger.

The Italian dictionary has “stivale”and “stivaletto” as a synonyms for boot.

high heel boots Shoes Boots ...

Stiletto Shoes History. The term stiletto heels owe its origin to the Italian 'stiletto dagger' which actually is a murderous long slender blade. …

I had known that Stiletto meant Dagger I never made the connection to the shoe.
