Arm  arm, aram, arm, ; a word common to the  group;   arm,  arm,  earm,  arm,  armr,  arms,, ‘arm.’ Like many terms for parts of the body (see , , , , , &c.),  extends beyond the  dialects. It is. related to armus, ‘the topmost part of the upper arm, fore-quarter’ ( ἁρμός, ‘suture, joint, shoulder,’ belongs to another division),  ramę, ‘shoulder, arm,’  îrmá-s,, ‘fore-quarter, arm.’ See.  ',, ‘poor, unfortunate, miserable,’ from the  arm,  aram, arm, ;   arm,  arm,  earm (obsolete in ),  armr,  arms, , ‘poor.’ A term common to  with no correspondence in the allied Aryan group;  , , ). —  ', , from the   armuot, , armuote, , ‘poverty,’  aramuotî, : a derivative of the   *armôþs;  , .   , , ‘crossbow,’ from the   armbrust, , which must be a corruption of  arbalista, arcubalista,  ‘bow for projectiles’ ( arcus,  βἀλλευν). A compound of  and  is, properly speaking, impossible in , especially as the  word is . From  arbalista comes the   arbalète;   arbalist,  armborst,  balestra, from the last of which the older  , ‘cross-bow for shooting bullets,’ is borrowed.   , see.   , see.   , see.   ,, ‘arse, fundament,’ according to the analogous cases cited under , from an older , and  ars, , ‘arse.’ It corresponds to the   ars, ers,  aars, naars (with prefixed n),  ears,  arse,  ars (and rass,  argr and ragr, see ), , ‘arse.’  arsa-z, , from órso-s, is rightly held to be  allied to  δῥῥος (ρρ for rs), ‘coccyx, rump’; akin to  err, , ‘tail, end, point’?. the remark under.   ,, ‘kind, sort, species, manner,’ from art, , , ‘innate peculiarity, nature, condition, kind’;  art, is not recorded with these meanings, nor is the word found elsewhere. Instead of this there occurs the homonymous art,, ‘tillage, ploughing,’ with which artôn,  ‘to inhabit, cultivate,’ is connected; further,  ard, , ‘dwelling-place,’  eard, , ‘dwelling, native place,’  ǫrð), , ‘harvest, produce.’ These cognates, which belong (see ) to an  and Aryan root, ar, ‘to plough’ ( arare,  ἀρόω, &c.), are scarcely allied to  art, , , ‘nature, condition’; , however,  from . It is more probable that  is connected with  ars (  arti-um), ‘method, art,’ and  ṛtá, ‘method.’ The compounds , ,  contain  and  art, ‘agriculture, tillage,’ and belong consequently to the  and Aryan root ar, ‘to plough.’ <section end="Art" /> <section begin="Arzenei" /> ,  (in the 17th  accented on the  also), ‘medicine,’ from  arzenîe (erzonîe), , ‘art of healing, remedy.’ The  word does not occur, but only a derivative  erzinen, giarzinôn,  erzenen, ‘to heal;’ the verb, by its suffix, suggests  lêkinôn,  lœ̂cnian,  lâhhinôn, ‘to heal.’ From  gi-arzinôn, the   arzenîe, which did not appear until a later period, might then have been formed with a  termination. The assumption that arzenîe referred to Archigenes of Apamea (in Syria), a famous physician, is untenable; if this assumption were correct, we should have expected  *arzin, or rather *arzino, ‘physician,’ which, however, nowhere to be found. Besides, arzinôn formed into arzât, ‘physician,’ under the influence of the genuinely  and  lêkinôn,  lâhhinôn, ‘to heal,’ makes any reference to Archigenes quite superfluous. Moreover, has also a form arzatîe ( arsedîe), ‘medicine.’ See. <section end="Arzenei" /> <section begin="Arzt" /> ,, ‘physician,’ from the  arzet, arzât,  arzăt, , a specifically  word, unknown to ,  and. Its early appearance in, in which lâhhi was the more prevalent form, is remarkable (  lêkeis, ‘physician,’  lœ̂ce,  leech; also the  proper name , from  lâchenœre, ‘enchanter,’  ‘physician’). The form arsatre,  ercetere, ‘physician’ ( arste), proves the origin from the oft-recurring  and  archiater (άρχιατρός), ‘physician’ ( physician-in-ordinary to the king).
