چمیدن

Persian

Etymology

From Proto-Iranian *čam- (“to walk”), perhaps a blend of Proto-Iranian *čarH- (“to come and go, wander”) and *gam- (“to come”), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *čálH- (“to move, wander”) + Proto-Indo-European *gʷem- (“to step, come”) respectively.[1] Compare Baluchi چمگ (čamag, “to shake, dance”), Parthian [script needed] (cm-, “to walk, move”), Khotanese [script needed] (tcāma-, “leaping insect, grasshopper”), Old Armenian ճեմ (čem, “walk”) (an Iranian borrowing), and perhaps Sanskrit चमूरु (camūru, “a kind of deer, an antelope”).
