It is first attested in Middle Persian spelled as ''dpywʾn'' and ''dywʾn'', itself hearkening back, via Old Persian, Elamite and Akkadian language, Akkadian, ultimately to Sumerian language, Sumerian ''dub'', clay tablet. The word was borrowed into Armenian language, Armenian as well as ''divan''; on linguistic grounds this is placed after the 3rd century, which helps establish the original Middle Persian (and eventually New Persian) form was ''dīvān'', not ''dēvān'', despite later legends that traced the origin of the word to the latter form. The variant pronunciation ''dēvān'' ho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
