Abstract
The paper provides an up-to-date list and discussion of Armenian words with probable substratic or ancient adstratic origin. It is shown that at least three words can be suspected of being of Hurrian origin because of their prosodic features, instead of the more usual Urartian origin. Short and long a an i are normally reflected in Armenian by a and i. But it can be observed that the Armenian u normally reflects short ŭ while Armenian o normally reflects long ū, thus pointing at some kind of allophonic variants in Hurro-Urartian phonology between short and long u.
