The etymological analysis of a number of Armenian roots with alternation of front-lingual (labial) consonants shows that the analysis of roots in etymological bunches creates better opportunities to determine the etymology of Armenian roots of unknown origin. The present work includes the material of Indo-European and Fenno-Ugric languages, which has not been used in the comparative analysis of the Armenian language before.
