ܢܟܘܪܓܢ nkwrgn title and proper noun
MP naxwāragān governor; cf. Gr. Σαρναχοργάνης (Theoph. Sim. iii 15, 7 and 11); Ναχορ(α)γαν (Agathias); Σανναχοερύγαν (Menander fr. 46). On this title see Justi 1895, 289; Benveniste 1929, 6–7; Chaumont 1961, 300; Mancini 1988, 6 and n. 16; Christensen 1944, 21 and n. 3; Ciancaglini 2004; Huyse 2002, 215; Id. 2004, 44; Gignoux 2004, 42–43, observes that the analysis of the occurrences of the title naxwāragān does not allow us to find a clear semantic difference between naxwār and naxwāragān: Gignoux tentatively hypothesises that the latter may be a patronymic derivative in -agān from the former.
