Armenian has two main signifiers for ‘nose’, k‘it‘ and pinc‘, both remaining obscure. Presumably, they have no Indo-European origin. Body-part names usually are not borrowed. They present predominantly genuine (or substrate) forms, including ideophones, based on internal resources of the language, or terms, shaped through semantic shift of metaphors. Incidentally, the essential part of the Armenian body-part names includes lexemes of the clear IE provenance.The paper attempts to summarise the relevant material on and trace the possible background of the above terms.
