This word demonstrates the Phrygian e-augment (for forming past tense, in this case of ΔΑ “to put, to place”), a morphological isogloss shared between Armenian, Greek and Indo-Iranian.

Examples: Greek φέρω “I bear, carry” - past tense έ-φερα, Armenian ber- “bring, carry” - past tense e-ber, Greek “θέτω” past tense ἔ-θηκα, Armenian 3sg aorist e-d “put”.
