Կազմախոսական նորաստեղծ տերմինները XII դարի բժշկարաններում (Մխիթար Հերացի, Աբուսայիդ)

Abstract

This article studies new anatomical terms (51 words) used by XII century doctors Mkhitar Heratsi and Abusaid in their medical books «Relief for Fevers» and «About the Human Structure». In the period of increasing influence of Arab medicine, they used not only borrowed terms, but also created a significant number of new terms using the inner capabilities of the Armenian language. The anatomical terms were created by means of suffixation, wordformation and word combination. Many of these terms were less stable and went out of use, giving way to new terms: only four of them (ապակենի, եղջերենի, միզուկ, ստամոքսաբերան) were included in modern Armenian medical terminology. However, according to the example of Mkhitar Heratsi, new terms were created in the modern Armenian medical terminology with the help of the suffix «eni» (-ենի), such as tsantseny (ցանցենի), anoteny (անոթենի), shaghkapeny (շաղկապենի), pndeny (պնդենի).
