THE H ASPIRATE HEAVY BREATH PHONEME HA IS ALSO THE PURE SPIRIT IN HEBREW
Hey or Heh is the fifth letter of the Hebrew aleph-bet. It makes the “h” breath sound as in hit.
In Hebrew (like in English) there is only one definite article: the letter “ה” (hey) when added to the noun, it is pronounced as “Ha” as it is in Armenian.
The name hey means to behold. Hey also means breath, sigh, look, reveal and revelation from the idea of revealing a great sight by pointing it out. Therefore, the letter hey is a picture of the Ruach HaKodesh/ Holy Spirit. The spirit is thought of as the breath of the mouth.
Genesis 2:7 Then YHVH, God, formed a person from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, so that he became a living being.Also the words for spirit and soul is ruakh in Hebrew.
Man was breathed into and was changed. He was filled with the spirit.
“breath of life” in Genesis 2:7 is the same as spirit "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." So breath makes the soul even though the bible occasionally says “spirit of man” instead of soul.
Hayk (Armenian: Հայկ, Armenian pronunciation: [hajk]), also known as Hayk Nahapet (Հայկ Նահապետ, Armenian pronunciation: [hajk naha'pɛt], lit. 'Hayk the "head of the Armenian 'clan' as in a group of people with a strong common interest, is the legendary patriarch and founder of the now Armenian nation. His story brought forward through tradition, is told in the History of Armenia attributed to the Armenian historian Moses of Chorene (or Movses Khorenatsi, c. 410 – c. 490). Armenians connect the legendary eponym Հայկ (Hayk) with the Dawn of their nation.The name hey means to behold. Hey also means breath, sigh, look, reveal and revelation from the idea of revealing a great sight by pointing it out. Therefore, the letter hey is a picture of the Ruach HaKodesh/ Holy Spirit. The spirit is thought of as the breath of the mouth.
Genesis 2:7 Then YHVH, God, formed a person from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, so that he became a living being.Also the words for spirit and soul is ruakh in Hebrew.
Man was breathed into and was changed. He was filled with the spirit.
The Etymology of the word spirit comes from the Latin spiritus meaning "breath" This word spirit is rendered as רוּחַ (ruach) in Hebrew-language parts of the Old Testament. In its Aramaic parts, the term is rûacḥ. The Greek translation of the Old Testament, the Septuagint, translates the word as πνεῦμα (pneuma – "breath"). This is the same word used throughout the New Testament, written originally in Greek. The word appears either alone or with other words in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and the New Testament. Combinations include expressions such as the "Holy Spirit", "Spirit of God", and in Christianity, "Spirit of Christ".
The Armenian letter H also represents the BREATH as the LIVING SPIRIT BECOMING SOUL
In Classical Greek writing conventions, there was a written accent that is called a "spirit", this spirit is a translation of the term "spiritus asper" which is Latin for "heavy breathing" which is, in turn a translation of the original Greek term for this written accent, "daseia". The accent called spiritus asper in latin δασεῖα (daseia), meaning "heavy breath" was placed above a vowel and or the ρ (r) letter in the beginning of a word, to denote that it was preceded by an 'h' heavy breath sound. Thus, all Greek words starting with a vowel with a daseia have in affect an h in front of them as well as in the English (through Latin) for words like Hope, Holy, Hermes, Hercules, Hera, hymn, history, hero, haematology etc. etc.
Indeed, the words for spirit and breathe derive from the same root as they do in English (spirit/respire) and Latin (spiritus/spirare): Spirit is πνεύμα (pnévma) and the verb is πνέω (pnéo), is meaning to blow. Also the word for lung is πνεύμονας (pnévmonas) and the holy ghost is άγιο πνεύμα. Πνεύμα is the classical word for ghost, the modern one being φάντασμα as Celine wrote, but it also means spirit, mind, intellect and genius. Αναπνέω is to breathe, αναπνοή is respiration, πνοή is a breath.

In Judaism, the Holy Spirit is also known as the Holy Ghost, is the divine force, quality, and influence of God over the universe or over his creatures. In Nicene Christianity, the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. In Islam, the Holy Spirit acts as an agent of divine action or communication. Ātman (Atma, आत्मा, आत्मन्) is a Sanskrit word which refers to "essence as breath." It is derived from the Proto-Indo-European word *h₁eh₁tmṓ (a root meaning "breath".
In Hinduism, Atman refers to the self-existent essence of human beings, the observing pure consciousness or witness-consciousness. The earliest use of the word Ātman in Indian texts is found in the Rig Veda (RV X.97.11). Yāska, the ancient Indian grammarian, commenting on this Rigvedic verse, accepts the following meanings of Ātman as the breath, the pervading principle, the organism in which other elements are united and calls it the ultimate sentient principle.
The main meaning of spirit in the Bible is a living breath or a 'live-force' or the 'life giving force'. The Arabic for the word is spirit, soul or self, namely, ruH (spirit, soul) & nafs (spirit, soul, self). Both these Arabic words can somehow be connected to breath or wind, e.g. ruH is connected to riH (wind) and nafs to nafas (breath).
The H Aspirate always present and always has a connection with verbs for to breathe or to blow. All originally pronounced with the Heavy H, the Ha in Hebrew and the Ho in Armenian.
As for the word for soul, ψυχή (psyche, psychi) it derives from the verb ψύχω which also means...to blow air, breath out.
Breath/spirit is a metaphor for the consciousness's ethereal quality within a soul which inhabits innumerable bodies from the vegetative stage all the way through to the animal stage.“breath of life” in Genesis 2:7 is the same as spirit "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." So breath makes the soul even though the bible occasionally says “spirit of man” instead of soul.
Another link with ancient Greek thought is the Stoic idea of the spirit as anima mundi – or world soul – that unites all people. Some believe that this can be seen in Paul's formulation of the concept of the Holy Spirit that unites Christians in Jesus Christ and love for one another.
The word Ruach (pronounced roo-akh) is the Hebrew word for spirit, breath, or wind. When spoken, the word engages one's breath and lungs.
Genesis 1:2 "a wind from God sweeping over the water"
John in Armenian Հովհաննես
Arag, առակ in Armenian is a noun which translates to proverb parable, fable, a mystery, an enigma. For the definition of enigma we have, 1 : something hard to understand or explain · 2 : something mysterious· 3 : an obscure mysterious, mystifying, unexplainable phenomenon. An example of an enigma is the question “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” We must tie the concept of God's revelation to the word "enigma" and "mystery". In English the word mystery does not mean exactly the same thing as in Greek. In English, mystery means "a puzzle that is difficult to solve," but in Greek, it means "a secret that is impossible to penetrate." So, the Word of God, or the concept of God, His purpose and plan, is a mystery, a secret that is impossible to penetrate. Jesus explains the purpose of parables առագաստ a noun a veil, cover of a nuptial chamber. A veil as in a "cold mist that veiled the mountain peaks"
The name of the patriarch, Հայկ Hayk, is not exactly homophonous with the name for "Armenia", Հայք Hayk’. Hayk is connected to hay (հայ) which is the self-designation of the Armenians. Hay, հայ, is a Noun and the noun translates to Armenian.
ARMENIANS TRACE THEIR beginnings to the hero Hayk, who led a successful exodus from the tyranny of Bel of Babylon and emigrated to a new homeland he named Hayastan. Later he and his 300 fought against the Babylonian army and killed Bel.
At Dyutsaznamart (Armenian: Դյուցազնամարտ, "Battle of Giants"), near Julamerk southeast of Lake Van, on August 11, 2492 BC (according to the Armenian traditional chronology of the first month of the Armenian calendar, Navasard or 2107 BC (according to "The Chronological table" of Mikael Chamchian), Hayk slew Bel with a nearly impossible shot using a long bow, sending the king's forces into disarray.The hill where Bel with his warriors fell, Hayk named Gerezmank meaning "tombs". He embalmed the corpse of Bel and ordered it to be taken to Hark where it was to be buried in a high place in the view of the wives and sons of the king.
Armenians call themselves Hay and their country “Hayastan” after their hero. Hayk. Soon after, Hayk established the fortress of Haykaberd at the battle site and the town of Haykashen in the Armenian province of Vaspurakan (modern-day Turkey). He named the region of the battle Hayk, and the site of the battle Hayots Dzor.
The original native Armenian name for the country was Հայք (Hayk’); however, it is currently rarely used. The name Հայաստան (Hayastan) was used in the Middle Ages, the suffix -stan (place) is Persian and its use was first attested in circa 5th century in the works of Agathangelos, Faustus of Byzantium, Ghazar Parpetsi, Koryun, and Sebeos.
The name Hay tradition confirms derives from Hayk (Հայկ), the legendary patriarch of the Armenians and a great-great-grandson of Noah, who, according to the 5th-century AD author Moses of Chorene (Movsis Khorenatsi), defeated the Babylonian king Bel in 2492 BC and established his nation in the Ararat region. The origin of the name is uncertain and etymologists has failed to find its origin and meaning.
HAY-KAZ-UNI DYNASTY Hayk was also said to be the founder of the Haykazuni Dynasty.
Vahe Haykazuni (Armenian: Վահե Հայկազունի; 351 BC – 331 BC), also known simply as Vahe, was a king of Armenia. He was the last offspring of the Hayk Dynasty. According to Moses of Khoren, he was an ally of Darius III, King of Persia.
Aikazuni (Aikazyan, Aikida) is the first dynasty of patriarchs, leaders and kings of Armenia (2492 or 2107 BC - 331 AD).
Hayk Naapet - August 11, 2492 BC (according to the traditional Armenian chronology) or in 2107 BC (according to the “Chronological Table”). Michaela Chamchyan) Patriarch of Armenians Hayk defeated in battle
Dutsaznamart south-east of Lake Van (the middle course of the Haiots Tsor River) troops of the Assyrian tyrant Bel and laid the foundation for the future Armenian state. Hayk built the fortress of Haikaberd (south of the city of Van) and Haikashen in the gavar of Ark naanga Tauruberan. From Hayk Nahapeta comes the dynasty of the first patriarchs and kings of ancient Armenia, as well as many ancient Armenian aristocratic families.
Armenak Haykazuni (2026 BC) After Haike's death, he was succeeded by his son Armenaik Haikazuni. Haik was known among the people as a collector of Armenian lands. It is said that thanks to his policies, the borders of the Armenian-populated lands expanded significantly.
Aram a name remembered as the Unifier of Haykazuni and dated (1824 BC) - is said to have gathered into a single state formation all the tribes from the Caspian Sea in the east to the Galis River in the west, from Armenian Mesopotamia in the south to the Caucasian ridge in the north. Some ancient historians associate the name of the country of Armenia with the name of Aram.
Vahagn (520 BC) - the son of Tigran, was an outstanding personality, said to have had extraordinary courage and strength. In the Armenian epic, folk songs his exploits are glorified. Armenians compare him with the Greek Hercules.

WHAT IS A GIVEN NAME
Perfect Fit Name' (captured by the Latin phrase nomen est omen 'the name is a sign'), in that it focuses on causality.
A given name (also known as a first name or forename) is the part of a personal name that identifies a person, potentially with a middle name as well, and differentiates that person from the other members of a group (typically a family or clan) who have a common surname. The term given name refers to a name usually bestowed at or close to the time of birth, usually by the parents of the newborn.
Regnal names and religious or monastic names are special given names bestowed upon someone receiving a crown or entering a religious order; such a person then typically becomes known chiefly by that name.

DAWN
Dawn suggests the notions of illumination and hope, the beginning of a new day and thus a chance for happiness and improvement. Sunrise is a symbol of birth and rebirth, of awakening. The coming of light, resurrection. In Beauty and the Beast, the dawn (spring) maid is married to a DARKNESS (winter/frost) monster. Act of transformation, renewed passion. According to Jung, it is a creation; the unconscious broadening into consciousness, which brings with it contexts of metaphysical idealism and the notion of the evolution of human consciousness and its connection through languge.
Metaphysics is considered one of the four main branches of philosophy, along with epistemology, logic, and ethics. Topics of metaphysical investigation include existence, objects and their properties, space and time, cause and effect, and possibility.
Aruna (Sanskrit: अरुण; IAST: Aruṇa) literally means "red, ruddy, tawny") is the personification of the reddish glow of the rising Sun. The Hindu god Aruna (अरुण) is the charioteer who drives the sun god Surya across the sky. The modern feminine form अरुणा is also transcribed as Aruna, however the modern masculine form is Arun.
RISING SUN Arun, from the Sanskrit means "rising sun". According to Hindu scriptures, Aruna means the rising sun, which is believed to have spiritual powers. The name Arundhatī in Sanskrit literally means 'washed from the rays of sun', from arun 'Sun rays' and dhatī 'washed'.
The exonym Armenia is attested in the Old Persian Behistun Inscription (515 BC) as Armina (
). The Ancient Greek terms Ἀρμενία (Armenía) and Ἀρμένιοι (Arménioi, "Armenians") are first mentioned by Hecataeus of Miletus (c. 550 BC – c. 476 BC). Xenophon, a Greek general serving in some of the Persian expeditions, describes many aspects of Armenian village life and hospitality in around 401 BC.
Some scholars have linked the name Armenia with the Early Bronze Age state of Armani (Armanum, Armi) or the Late Bronze Age state of Arme (Shupria).[36] These connections are inconclusive as it is not known what languages were spoken in these kingdoms. Additionally, while it is agreed that Arme was located to the immediate west of Lake Van (probably in the vicinity of Sason, and therefore in the greater Armenia region), the location of the older site of Armani is a matter of debate. Some modern researchers have placed it near modern Samsat,and have suggested it was populated, at least partially, by an early Indo-European-speaking people. It is possible that the name Armenia originates in Armini, Urartian for "inhabitant of Arme" or "Armean country." The Arme tribe of Urartian texts may have been the Urumu, who in the 12th century BC attempted to invade Assyria from the north with their allies the Mushki and the Kaskians. The Urumu apparently settled in the vicinity of Sason, lending their name to the regions of Arme and the nearby lands of Urme and Inner Urumu.
It has also been speculated that the land of Ermenen (located in or near Minni), mentioned by the Egyptian pharaoh Thutmose III in 1446 BC, could be a reference to Armenia.

The present etymologies offered for the origin of the noun Hay, Hayk and the name Armenian are few and disputed and most agree they are impossible to verify.
Some claim that the etymology of Hayk' (Հայք) from Hayk (Հայկ) is impossible and that the origin of the term Hay ("Armenian") is not verifiable. I believe that scholarship to date has failed for their attempts has been to break down the name with the assumption that it is from an a postpriori language. Attempts. All attempts within the logic offered by etymology are always looking for a cognate in a sister an a postpriori PIE language.
According to Diakonoff, who is often quoted, the ethnonym derives from Proto-Armenian *hatiyos, from Urartian 𒆳𒄩𒀀𒋼 (KURḫa-a-te /Ḫāti, Hate/, “the land of Hittites”). Hittite 𒄩𒋾 (ḫa-ti /Ḫatti/). This name was given by Urartians to all lands west of the Euphrates, where there was what the Romanes riffered to as the minor Armenia, it included the territory around Malatya which was occupied by Proto-Armenians. When the Urartians were assimilated among the Proto-Armenians, they took over their Indo-European language and called themselves by the same name of the “Hittites”.???
Hayk is a mononymous person, for he is an individual who is known and addressed by a single name, or a mononym. Mononymous persons have varied across time and geography. In some societies, individuals have been mononymous. Alulim, the first king of Sumer, is one of the earliest names known; Narmer, an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, is another. In addition, Biblical names like Adam, Eve, Moses, or Abraham, were typically mononymous, as were names in the surrounding cultures of the Fertile Crescent.
On the other hand, Martirosyan connects հայ (hay) with the country name Hayaša- and derives both from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éyos (“metal”). He explains Hayaša- as “the land of metal or iron” and հայ (hay) as “inhabitant of the land of metal or iron”. Hayasa, located on the north-western corner of historical Armenia, was famous for metalworking. ??? The connection with Hayasa is repudiated by Kitazumi, pointing out that the Hittite word is attested over twenty times and written in such ways that it can only be read Ḫayaša- but with the sound inventory of Old Armenian an anlauting խ- (x-) would represent a better fit.???
An old proposal derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *pótis (“lord, master”), but a Proto-Indo-European *po- would yield Old Armenian ո- (o-): compare ոտն (otn).???
Armenian tradition connects the word with the nation's legendary eponym Հայկ (Hayk). With this I agree for an eponym as in the case/name of Hayk is a legendary person (real or fictitious) from whom something or somewhere is said to have taken its name.
For the other names of the Armenians see Old Persian 𐎠𐎼𐎷𐎡𐎴 (a-r-mi-i-n /Armina/), Old Georgian სომეხი (somexi) and Northern Kurdish file.

Etymology is the study of the history of words, its origin and development. The Armenian language which has a long oral - (2500 BCE) - yet relatively short written history - ( 500 AD) -cant make full use of the standard tools of etymologists, who mainly depend on written texts to gather knowledge about how words were used during earlier periods and how they developed in meaning and form, or when and how they entered the language.
The origin of modern historical linguistics is often traced to Sir William Jones, a Welsh philologist living in India, who in 1782 observed the genetic relationship between Sanskrit, Greek and Latin. Jones published his The Sanscrit Language in 1786, laying the foundation for the field of Indo-European linguistics.Systematic comparison of related languages, etymologists may often be able to detect which words derive from their common ancestor language and which were instead later borrowed from another language.

Hay' Hayk is an archetypal name, a proper name of a real or imaginary person or mythological or fictional character that is designed to become a designation for an archetype of a certain personal trait. It is a form of antonomasia. Archetypal names are a literary device used to allude to certain traits of a character as a name is an identifier of a social group, an ethnicity, nationality, and a geographical locality.

Hay is an endonym (from Greek: éndon, 'inner' + ónoma, 'name'; also known as autonym) is a common, internal name for a geographical place, group of people, language or dialect, meaning that it is used inside that particular place, group, or linguistic community in question; it is their self-designated name for themselves, their homeland, or their language. Kinship-based groups may also have a symbolic ancestor, whereby the clan shares a "stipulated" common ancestor who serves as a symbol of the clan's unity.
Armenian is an exonym (from Greek: éxō, 'outer'; also known as xenonym) is a common, external name for a geographical place, group of people, individual person, or a language/dialect, that is used only outside that particular place, group, or linguistic community.[1] Exonyms exist not only for historico-geographical reasons, but also in consideration of difficulties when pronouncing foreign words

With very early Armenian - ( toponyms, given names, sacred names, names of numbers, names of months and days of months, names of planets, constellations, words for almost all mind born scientific concepts) - etymologists have a real problem since there are no references. systematic comparison of related languages, etymologists have been able to detect about 1000 words that derive from a common language either borrowed or imposed from another language.when analyzing related languages they find that Armenian through time and space awith a technique known as the comparative method, can make inferences about their shared parent language. It is in this way, word roots in European languages, for example, can be traced all the way back to the origin of the Indo-European language family. A root is the core of a word that is irreducible into more meaningful elements.[The root is conventionally indicated using the mathematical symbol √; for instance, the Sanskrit root "√bhū-" means the root "bhū-". The roots of the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European language (PIE) are basic parts of words that carry a lexical meaning, so-called morphemes. PIE roots usually have verbal meaning like "to eat" or "to run". Roots never occurred alone in the language.
As in the formation of an acronym, words were formed from the root phonemes with meaning a simple process of word formation, the creation of compound lexemes. Compounding occured when two or more phonemes, signs were joined to make a word with a new meaning.
The philosophical explanation of the name Hayk needs to understand that like the ancient Armenian clan of 2500 - 2000 BCE Sumeria like the ancient Indians would have considered sound and speech itself to be a science and a sacred one at that and, for them, the words they created would have contained deep encoding of the phenomena, as well as mysteries of the spirit, the soul, matter and the creator.
One obviously does not wish to be accused of making guesses as to the origins of words, especially when it comes to the esoteric names of the Armenians.even though one would be in great company like for example Socrates.
Hayk is an aitiological founding figure, like e.g. Dan for the Danes, Seaxnēat for the Saxons, etc.
The following remake of the story of Hayk the Hay and or the Armenians as outsiders would call us is based on a brand new etymology for the name Hayg, Hay and Hayr and will put forward fresh ideas, new revelations based on the idea that Hayg was a Genius, that Hayg was and still is an original and that if anything he was the first man, the man of the moment that obin a big way to the coming of a New Order that placed earthly desires at the eye of the social structure, if you like he was the first person who stood firm and said 'The King has no clothes. I believe that Hayg had more to do with what we recognise as the Indo-European ethos than any other. I will show how his name is related to phenomenon not to a god and that He is a prototype, an original, a first not only for the Hay he defines but also that he was the generic Proto-Aryan or a Proto-Proto-Indo-European.
I will start with Be'l the Titan who regarded himself as above all of mankind, not recognizing his own mortal nature he summoned all the races of mankind to his service. Now at that time Hayk, born of Japheth (Abet'), did not want to submit in service to King Be'l, disdaining to call him a god. So Be'l attacked Hayk in battle, but valiant Hayk harassed him with [his] bow.
This is the Hayk who begat his son Aramenak in Babylon. Aramenak begat numerous sons and daughters, the eldest [son being] Aramayis. Aramayis begat many sons and daughters, the eldest being Amasia. Amasia begat many sons and daughters, the eldest being Gegham. Gegham begat many sons and daughters, the eldest being Harma. Harma begat many sons and daughters, the eldest being Aram. Aram begat many sons and daughters, the eldest being Ara the Handsome.
Now these are the names of the men who gave birth to [the Armenian] race who were born in Babylon and went to the northern areas, to the country of Ararad. For Hayk left Babylon with his wife and sons and all their household. He went and settled in the Ararad country in an estate at the foot of a mountain, which previously had been built by Zruan together with his fathers and brothers.
Hayk gave to his grandson Kadmos, Aramenak's son, [this] property in inheritance. Then [Hayk] himself went farther north and settled in the midst of a highland plain which he named Hark', after the name of the Fathers [g48].
The country was called Hayk', appropriately [named] after him, and the people, Haykids [Armenians].
Now this Hayk was very strong and handsome, and an extremely powerful archer and warrior.
At that time the giant Be'l the Titan ruled as king in Babylon, a hunter and grand false god who was extremely powerful and very handsome. He was ruler over all peoples spread across the face of the entire world and he [accomplished] his royal commands over all peoples with the aid of witchcraft. In his boastful pride, [Be'l] erected images of himself and had the country worship him as a god and offer sacrifices.
All peoples immediately implemented his orders, except for a certain [man] named Hayk, the patriarch (nahapet) of peoples who did not submit to his service, did not erect [Be'l's] image in his home and did not glorify him as a god.
This man's name was Hayk, and King Be'l conceived a great grudge against him. King Be'l massed troops in Babylon and went against Hayk to kill him.
He reached the country of Ararad and the estate which was their patrimony which had been built at the base of the mountain. Kadmos fled to Hark' to inform his father, saying: "King Be'l is coming against you and has reached the estate there, and so I, with my wife and children have come [to you] as fugitives."
Hayk took Aramenak and his son Kadmos as well as their sons and the sons of their seven daughters, gigantic men but few in number.
Hayk went to fight King Be'l but was unable to confront him because of the multitude of [Be'l's] gigantic armored men.
Now when Hayk struck at King Be'l, Be'l wanted to seize him with his own hands, but Hayk evaded him and fled. In hot pursuit, Be'l went after him with his weapons-bearer.
Hayk halted and asked him: "Why do you pursue me? Return to your own place so that you do not die today at my hands, for my arrow will not miss its mark." Then Be'l replied: "[I pursue you in person] so that you do not fall into the hands of my young men and perish. Instead [g49], give yourself up to me and live in my house in peace, looking after the young hunters in my house."
Hayk answered him, saying: "You are a dog and from a pack of dogs, you and your people. Therefore, today I will empty my quiver at you." The Titan King [Be'l] was armored and trusted in the full armoring of his person.
[3] Hayk, [descendant] of Japheth, advanced closer, holding in his hand a bow which was like a branch of a mighty pine tree, and then he took position against [Be'l] with his bow at the ready. He picked up [the] quiver from the ground by him and [putting an arrow] to the gigantic arc of his bow, drew it back to his shoulder and [released the] arrow [which] forcefully penetrated the armor plating, pierced the bronze shield, passed through the pillar of meat and emerged, falling on the ground. The giant, who thought himself to be a god, immediately fell to the ground and his troops fled. Pursuing them, [Hayk and his troops] took herds of horses, mules and camels from them.
Hayk returned to his own place; and he went and took over the country of Ararad and dwelled there with his clan (azg), until now. At the time of his death, he gave his heritable property to his grandson, Katmos, son of Aramenak, brother of Harma. And he ordered Aramenak to go to the northern region where he himself had first dwelled.
After the death of Hayk, Aramenak took his sons and daughters and their husbands, the seven sisters and their husbands, sons, and daughters, with all of their belongings, and went and dwelled there in the first district which they called Hark', after the name of their father, Hayk'. Then Aramenak went farther north, descending onto a deep plain which is between lofty mountains and which is crossed by a fast-moving river. Crossing this, Aramenak settled there and built up the country of his inheritance, a place of mountains and rocks.
After Aramenak, his son, Aramayis, built his residential dwelling over the river banks and called it Aramayir after his own name. Then his sons began to multiply and fill the country. And they built districts.
Aramayis, too, died and his son, Amasia, took over his country; and after him was Gegham. Gegham died and his son, Harma, ruled, then Harma's son, Aram [ruled]. [Aram's] son was Ara the Handsome, by whose name that very plain was known, Ayrarad [g50].
Shamiram, the wife of Ninos, the king of the Assyrians, heard about his beauty and wanted to have relations with [Ara] to fulfill her desire with prostitution. [This was] because she was extremely aroused by what she had heard and was inflamed by his person and physical beauty, since there was no other man having his striking good looks anywhere. She sent emissaries with offerings to him, calling him to her at Ninue'. But Ara did not accept her offerings, nor did he agree to go to Shamiram in Ninue'. So Shamiram took her troops and went against Hayk. She came and reached the plain of Ara, and made war with Ara, striking [his] troops and killing him in battle.
Shamiram ordered that his body be taken to the roof of her palace and said: "I will tell the gods to lick his wounds and bring him back to life."
But when his corpse began to decay, she secretly ordered that it be thrown into a pit and covered up. She then adorned one of her lovers, a man who was an appropriate [substitute], and then noised it about that Ara had been licked by the gods and had resurrected. She kept [the double] hidden and did not show him to anyone who knew him. Thus did Queen Shamiram cause the story of the [mythological creatures called] aralezk' to be spread about.
Then Shamiram ruled over the country of the Armenians and from that time the kings of Assyria ruled [over Armenia] until the death of Senek'arim

One obviously does not wish to be accused of making guesses as to the origins of words, especially when it comes to the esoteric names of the Armenians.even though one would be in great company like for example Socrates.
I posit that the origin of the name Hay and Hayk are a priori relating to or denoting reasoning or knowledge based on an aetiology or the name Hayk is an aetiological name connecting the abovederived from the phenomenon of Dawn/aik in Armenian and the prefix H/Հ the sigil/symbol/letter in Armenian for the Constellation of Pisces which is the aspirate that defines the living spirit or breath of life. The noun or name for an Armenian plural or singular Hay is an eponym of Hayk. Hayr which is 'father in Armenian is aetiologically connected to the Armenian word Air which translates to man/husband thus 'husbandman' and again with the prefix of Pisces H/Հ gives us the meaning The living spirit/breath of a husbandman' . Hope we can now put the Armenians to bed for a well deserved sleep, for I believe their seventh day has come. PS The word Armenian also has an aetiological origin which dovetails with the eponymous forefather of the Armenians Haik . The root *Ar which is the prefix of the name of the 'first born son' of Haik, Ar-menayk (variously spelt over time) represents the first born Suns 'light&heat' daily and the first born Suns light&heat annually and the MN, mena/manu as above H/Հ of Pisces represents the fishes of Manu referring to the archetypal man, or to the first man (progenitor of humanity). The Sanskrit term for 'human' the mind-born son of the god Brahma.
The thesis 'Forefather Hayk in the Light of Comparative Mythology' by Armen Petrosyan is from the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, Yerevan alpehist@gmail.com.
In the thesis Petrosian seems to be needing to demonstrate that the Legend of Hayg the legendary forefather of the Armenians, is mythologically comparative and that as an epic figure the character of Hayg combines the traits of several divine archetypes (god creator, father and patriarch of gods, thunder god, war god, dog-slayer, leader of Männerbund). I have to say from the offset that I disagree with him totally and I don't think any of his conclusions are plausible. He brings to mind (Eliade 1959: 6 ff.). who states that in archaic myths the most important place is taken by stories of the “beginning” (creation, cosmogony). Also that they tell about the origins of the universe, the gods and heroes of that period etc. The fact that cosmogonic myths are closely associated with anthropogonic and ethnogonic myths, does not make The Legend of Hayg Cosmogonic, for starters it is dated in time and positioned geographically in Sumeria.Historical narratives from antiquity are not always clear descriptions. Linguistic nuances further complicate the evaluation of historical texts. Armenians call themselves Hay and their country Hayastan. The Greeks used the designation “Armenian” by borrowing it from the Persians who had used the term applied by the Arameans to name the people of Armenia also known as Urartu. Assyrians called Armenians Moushki while the Bible makes references to the House of Torgom (Beth Togarmah). and the word Armenian .
For most historians the story of Hayg and the Hay is rarely reconciled with the story of Armenians. So before we go to the root of the word Armenian it seems to me that it is vital we first get a general agreement on the root and meaning of both the word Hayg and Hay so one can expect to go forward on the subject of who or what is an Armenian. What was the thinking of the creator of these names and what if anything do they unveil.
The origin of the term Hay ("Armenian") is obscure. Nevertheless, both Hayk and Hay' are usually connected to hay (հայ) and hayer (հայեր, the nominative plural in Modern Armenian) -- the self-designation of the Armenians.Hayk is an aitiological founding figure, like e.g. Dan for the Danes, Seaxnēat for the Saxons, etc.
In Moses' account, Hayk son of Torgoma gives birth to Armaneak while living in Babylon, but after the arrogant Titanid Bel makes himself king over all, Hayk emigrates to the Ararat region with an extended household of at least 300 and settles, founding a village he names Haykashen. On the way he also leaves a detachment in another settlement with his grandson Kadmos. Bel sends one of his sons to entreat him to return, but he is refused. Bel then marches against him with a massive force, but Hayk is warned by Kadmos of his approach. He assembles his own army on the shore of Lake Van and tells them they must defeat and kill Bel, or die trying, rather than become his slaves.“ Hayk was a handsome, friendly man, with curly hair, sparkling eyes, and strong arms. He was a man of giant stature, a mighty archer and fearless warrior. Hayk and his people, from the time of their forefathers Noah and Japheth, had migrated south toward the warmer lands near Babylon. In that land there ruled a wicked giant, Bel. Bel tried to impose his tyranny upon Hayk’s people. But proud Hayk refused to submit to Bel. As soon as his son Aramaneak was born, Hayk rose up, and led his people back to the land of his forefathers, the land of Ararat. At the foot of the mountains, he built his home, Haykashen.

( CHECK THIS OUT) Hayk kills his adversary Bel with an erek‘t‘ewean ‘threewinged’ (triple-fleshed) arrow (Khorenats’i 1.11). The best
Indo-European parallel is found in India, where the
constellation Orion was personified by the god progenitor/
creator Prajápati who was transfixed by a three-jointed arrow
(i§us trikán∂a, probably, the belt stars of Orion) shot by the
god Rudra (Allen 1963: 309 f.; Forssman 1968: 58,You might be wondering… who invented the bow and arrow and when were the bow and arrow invented? Well, we don’t know for sure who invented archery, but it’s believed that Egyptians may have used bows and arrows as early as 5000 BC.
Prajapati, (Sanskrit: “Lord of Creatures”) the great creator deity of the Vedic period of ancient India. In the post-Vedic age he came to be identified with the Hindu god Brahma. ... Collectively, the individual deities granted the title Prajapati are the “mind born” children of Brahma.
When a skilled archer takes charge of a bow and arrow, the result can be effective and deadly. Thus, ancient bows and arrows out-classed other weapons, such as swords, that were available in the olden day.
The ability to shoot an arrow from a distance gave archers an advantage in battle over those bearing swords.many heroes and gods are still depicted as using bows and arrows. Some of these mythological figures and folk heroes include:
• Abhimanyu
• Kama (son of Radha)
• Cupid
• Artemis and Apollo
• Hayk and Marduk
• Heracles
• Shiva
• Rama
• Arjune
• Robin Hood
• Wilhelm Tell (William Tell)

I believe that the story of Hayg is a traditional story that should be popularly regarded as historical, but since to date it is not authenticated, the main reason being that the story is 4500 years old, we continue to research.
The fact is that Hayg is the legendary forefather of the Hay and the prototype Hayr/Father of the original Armenian/Hayeren speaking clan. What I find more difficult is to accept wholesale Petrosian's suggestion that Hayg or his story was 'derived from' not an Indo-European prototype, nor can I accept that Hayg can be juxtaposed with some neighbouring Hurro-Urartian and Semitic deities for the chronologically tells us that they came along 750 years after Hayg's departure/exodus from Sumeria. What I can say is that the Armenian nation originates directly from Hayg a proto-arian if you like or a Proto (Proto-Indo-European) and that the H are the direct genetic and spiritual descendants, heir and legal successor of their natural habitat - THE ARMENIAN HIGHLAND (The Proto-Proto-Indo-European Homeland).The following remake of the story of Hayk the Hay and or the Armenians as outsiders would call us is based on a brand new etymology for the name Hayg, Hay and Hayr and will put forward fresh ideas, new revelations based on the idea that Hayg was a Genius, that Hayg was and still is an original and that if anything he was the first man, the man of the moment that obin a big way to the coming of a New Order that placed earthly desires at the eye of the social structure, if you like he was the first person who stood firm and said 'The King has no clothes. I believe that Hayg had more to do with what we recognise as the Indo-European ethos than any other. I will show how his name is related to phenomenon not to a god and that He is a prototype, an original, a first not only for the Hay he defines but also that he was the generic Proto-Aryan or a Proto-Proto-Indo-European.
Aryan Rama is the hero of the Ramayan epic. He represents the Aryans, as the worshipers of the dawn and the light of the sun, as the visible embodiment of creation.
I posit that the etymology of the name Hayg spells out 'THE LIVING SPIRIT OF DAWN'. I believe that the name was abstracted from the Armenian root word for 'Dawn' Ayk - (which by the way is cognate to the Sumerian Ay) - and the prefix H. H as we know has been and still is the most loaded and prominent Armenian sigil/symbol/letter. Where my idea become sublime is when I recognised that the Armenian sigil or letter for H, phoneme Ho, - (HoKis in Armenian means my little spirit, my soul, my life) - is the exact copy, tracing of the Constellation Pisces. Another attribute of the sigil H is that it represents the constellation Pisces, which projects the idea of the ribbon (the union of complimentary and contradictory opposites tied together by the fishes or as in sacred geometry the two circles touching at each others central point).
I am sure that Hayg and or his wife, besides being very familiar to Astronomy, must have been an inventive creative linguists,scribes, or even good at grammar. Hayg seems to have been a powerful well respected leading citizen involved in the political affairs of Sumeria when he planned and executed his clans departure in 2494 BCE. Today scholarship shows that the astronomy tablets and the sky charts Hayg would have had access to depicted the outlines of the twelve constellations with their allegorical stories we still use today.
Sumerian cuneiform is considered the oldest written language. Sumerian is the spoken language, cuneiform is the script; just like English is our language, but the alphabet is our script. Other languages use our script as well. Akkadian, another very old language, also used cuneiform; however, Sumerian and Akkadian are not considered to be related. Sumerian is called a “language isolate.” According to Wikipedia, a language isolate is “one that has not been demonstrated to descend from an ancestor common with any other language.” This means that any cognates—words that sound and mean the same thing between one language and another—are pure coincidence. It would seem that there is an incredible amount of coincidence between our language and Sumerian. And these coincidences are all in the vein of fertility, women, and music. It’s as if a groove of congruence runs through all ancient languages. Shakespeare wrote, “If music be the food of love, play on.” For the Sumerians, music and food seemed to have come from the same person: a woman. “Hamun,” the Sumerian word for “harmony” is “hamun” which is a compound formed of a fish and salt in Sumerian.
The earliest listed ruler whose historicity has been archaeologically verified is Enmebaragesi of Kish, c. 2600 BCE. Lagash in particular is known directly from archaeological artifacts dating from c. 2500 BCE. Kubaba (in the Weidner or Esagila Chronicle), Sumerian: 𒆬𒀭𒁀𒌑, kug-Dba-u₂, is the first and only queen on the Sumerian King List, which states she reigned for 100 years – roughly in the Early Dynastic III period probably(ca. 2550–2430 BC) of Sumerian history. Again Hayg left 2492 BCE. Before becoming monarch, the king list says she was an alewife.
In the Sumerian text Dumuzid's dream, Dumuzid king of Uruk is said to have been toppled from his opulence by a hungry mob composed of men from the major cities of Sumer, including Akshak. Another king of Uruk, Enshakushanna, is recorded as having plundered Akshak. Following this, Akshak was at war with Lagash, and was captured by Eannatum, who claims in one inscription to have smitten its king, Zuzu. The Sumerian king list mentions Unzi, Undalulu, Urur, Puzur-Nirah, Ishu-Il and Shu-Sin as kings of Akshak. Puzur-Nirah is also mentioned in the Weidner Chronicle as reigning in Akshak when a female tavern-keeper, Kug-bau of Kish, was appointed overlordship over Sumer. Akshak was also mentioned in tablets found at Ebla. In ca. 2350 BC, Akshak fell into the hands of Lugalzagesi of Umma. The Akkadian king Shar-Kali-Sharri reports defeating the Elamites in a battle at Akshak. So it appears that Sumer was in crisis, in fact the area between the rivers all the way up to Mari, at the time of the departure of Hayg was in a state of transformation.
The Avestan language, is closely related to Vedic Sanskrit. Ancient Iranian religion, Historical Vedic religion, and Proto-Indo-European religion. Indo-Iranian peoples, also known as Indo-Iranic peoples by scholars, and sometimes as Arya or Aryans from their self-designation, were a group of Indo-European peoples who brought the Indo-Iranian languages, a major branch of the Indo-European language family, to major parts of Eurasia in the second part of the 3rd millennium BC. They eventually branched out into Iranian peoples and Indo-Aryan peoples.
Despite the introduction of later Hindu and Zoroastrian scriptures, Indo-Iranians shared a common inheritance of concepts including the universal force *Hṛta- , I posit Artar in Armenian, (Sanskrit rta, Avestan asha), and later the gods of social order such as *mitra- (Sanskrit Mitra, Avestan and Old Persian Mithra, Miϑra). Proto-Indo-Iranian religion is said to be an archaic offshoot of Indo-European religion? From the various and dispersed Indo-Iranian cultures, a set of common ideas may be reconstructed from which a common, unattested proto-Indo-Iranian source may be deduced.

Another attribute of the sigil H is that it represents the constellation Pisces, which projects the idea of the ribbon (the union of complimentary and contradictory opposites tied together by the fishes or as in sacred geometry the two circles touching at each others central point).
Next I posit that the root of the word for father in Armenian which is Hayr is Ayr. This word (այր which translates from the Armenian to (էրիկ մարդ) is a noun for a husband man, a husbandman. Ayr again has been given the prefix H the IE aspirate, which as above for the Armenians represents the 'living spirit' the 'breath of life'. So it appears that the word hayr/father in Armenian translates to 'The Living Spirit of A Husbandman'. Ayr is an archaic noun meaning a worker off the land, a person who cultivates the land, a farmer. Also in the Bible the meaning of a husbandman is the same.This root gave itself to the Constellation of the Ram of Arias, originally in Sumeria the constellation of the first 30 degrees was not a ram but a the 'husbandman' the 'worker on the land'.
In Armenian the diminutive/venerable ending is
peculiar to the appellations of the elders and mythological
names: cf. hayr/ hayrik ‘father,’ pap/ papik ‘grandfather,’
theonymic Astlik ‘Venus,’ lit. ‘Little star,’ and Aramaneak (son
of Hayk), with an analogical suffix -ak. However it is possible the ending 'K' phoneme was a grounding diminutive when it was applied to Mythological names for 'Ki' represented the vertical axis on earth in Sumerian and is the name of the Juniper in Armenian, the original 'Tree of Life'.
The etymology of the Armenian language, like the core element of the vocabulary of a any language are the root words. Recently Hratchia Adjarian’s etymological dictionary of Armenian reveals the following facts about the Armenian language. symbols of the Armenian language."
Mashtots perfectly defined the actual system of Armenian word-forming sounds, guided by a single-letter, one-letter principle, arranged the letters in the Greek alphabetical order, gave each letter a name (alphabet, bin, gim ...), numeric value (A = 1, Ժ = 10, Ճ = 100, R = 1000 ...), set the direction of the letter from left to right. Only the letters "o" and "f" were added to the perfect Mashtots alphabet in the Middle Ages.What is the cause that brings forth existence? Is it material or immaterial?

The significant number of root words classified as “uncertain” or “undetermined” is only a challenge of attribution since they do not belong to the vocabulary of the Indo-European or other neighboring languages. They reflect and testify to the itinerary of the speakers of Armenian in a larger landscape that was the birthplace of many civilizations.
A close scrutiny of the loan words in the Armenian language is essentially a demonstration of the close contacts between Armenians and their neighboring peoples over time.
The greatest lexical borrowing is from Sanskrit/Persian, amounting to 1405 root words. Here, de Lagarde was able to capture the essence of the borrowings and recognized the three layers of influence in a span of over 15 centuries, whereas earlier linguists, omitting the possibility of the loan-words, thought of Armenian as an offshoot of Old Persian.
Armenian is often described as closer to Greek than any other language. This assertion, however, is not substantiated by etymological evidence. Historical and archaeological evidence attest to the existence of Hellenic culture in the Armenian homeland by the 4th century BC. no sooner. Armenian kings minted coins in Greek letters and Greek was the language of the court during the reign of Dickran the II, (96-56 BC.) Yet, the number of loan words in the present Armenian vocabulary that are derived from Greek is less than 200 root words. Ironically, the adoption of Christianity by the Armenians in 301 AD created a cultural obstacle to the Sanskrit/Persian/Parthian elements that existed for almost a millennium and accelerated the introduction of Greek words into Armenian through the translation of theological and ecclesiastic literature from Greek into Armenian.
Alphabets and syllabaries are distinct from logographies in that they use individual written characters to represent sounds directly. Such characters are called phonograms in linguistics. Unlike logograms, phonograms do not have any inherent meaning.

To understand the new Alphabet we need to refer to Mashtots biographer Koryun, in 405 in Edessa. According to him the birth to new and wonderful symbols of the Armenian language were formed."Mashtots perfectly defined the actual system of Armenian word-forming sounds, that were guided by a single-letter, one-letter principle, the letters were arranged in the Greek alphabetical order, each letter was given a name and a phoneme (aib, ben, gim ...), numeric values (A = 1, Ժ = 10, Ճ = 100, R = 1000 ...), and the direction of the letters was set from left to right.

To give one a feel of the chronological developments of writing and system of administration in Sumer around the time of the departure of Hayg hat led to the development of archaic tablets around between 3500 BCE-3200 BCE and ideographic writing came in at around (c. 3100 BCE) which eventually developed into logographic writing around 2500 BCE and finally a mixed form by about 2350 BCE. So Hayg and his wife must have been the very first to consider the creation of new words based on new ideas.The earliest listed ruler whose historicity has been archaeologically verified is Enmebaragesi of Kish, c. 2600 BCE. Lagash in particular is known directly from archaeological artifacts dating from c. 2500 BCE. Kubaba (in the Weidner or Esagila Chronicle), Sumerian: 𒆬𒀭𒁀𒌑, kug-Dba-u₂, is the first and only queen on the Sumerian King List, which states she reigned for 100 years – roughly in the Early Dynastic III period probably(ca. 2550–2430 BC) of Sumerian history. Again Hayg left 2492 BCE. Before becoming monarch, the king list says she was an alewife.
In the Sumerian text Dumuzid's dream, Dumuzid king of Uruk is said to have been toppled from his opulence by a hungry mob composed of men from the major cities of Sumer, including Akshak. Another king of Uruk, Enshakushanna, is recorded as having plundered Akshak. Following this, Akshak was at war with Lagash, and was captured by Eannatum, who claims in one inscription to have smitten its king, Zuzu. The Sumerian king list mentions Unzi, Undalulu, Urur, Puzur-Nirah, Ishu-Il and Shu-Sin as kings of Akshak. Puzur-Nirah is also mentioned in the Weidner Chronicle as reigning in Akshak when a female tavern-keeper, Kug-bau of Kish, was appointed overlordship over Sumer. Akshak was also mentioned in tablets found at Ebla. In ca. 2350 BC, Akshak fell into the hands of Lugalzagesi of Umma. The Akkadian king Shar-Kali-Sharri reports defeating the Elamites in a battle at Akshak. So it appears that Sumer was in crisis, in fact the area between the rivers all the way up to Mari, at the time of the departure of Hayg was in a state of transformation.
Despite the introduction of later Hindu and Zoroastrian scriptures, Indo-Iranians shared a common inheritance of concepts including the universal force *Hṛta- , I posit Artar in Armenian, (Sanskrit rta, Avestan asha), and later the gods of social order such as *mitra- (Sanskrit Mitra, Avestan and Old Persian Mithra, Miϑra). Proto-Indo-Iranian religion is said to be an archaic offshoot of Indo-European religion? From the various and dispersed Indo-Iranian cultures, a set of common ideas may be reconstructed from which a common, unattested proto-Indo-Iranian source may be deduced.
Petrosian's assumption that the meaning of Hayk’s name can be associated with *poti- meaning ‘master of' in is very far fetched. The elderly women mentioned who call their husbands in their absence as mer haye, i.e.
‘husband, could be meaning father of our family’ The elderly women could be swallowing their r's in their dialect and it is a great leap of faith to suggest that it is very plausibly and can
be etymologized from Indo-European *poti- ‘master, lord,
master of the house, husband’ (cf. Lat. hospes, Russ. gospodi <
*ghos[t]- pot- ‘host,’ Gk. posis, Avest. paiti-, Ind. pati-, Toch. A
pats ‘husband,’ etc). Hayk is described as the head the father the patriarch and leader of an extended family.
FROM HAYR HAYK TO GREAT GRANDSON ARA
I am a skilled investigator, so to undertake to write my version recalling unrecorded times, of the ancient brave men and their legends was daunting until that is, when I felt sure I cracked the root meaning of words Hayk and Hayr. I have read many versions of the legend of Hayg but the following from attalus.com from the translation of the work of Moses of Khoren I need to share.I will start with Be'l the Titan who regarded himself as above all of mankind, not recognizing his own mortal nature he summoned all the races of mankind to his service. Now at that time Hayk, born of Japheth (Abet'), did not want to submit in service to King Be'l, disdaining to call him a god. So Be'l attacked Hayk in battle, but valiant Hayk harassed him with [his] bow.
This is the Hayk who begat his son Aramenak in Babylon. Aramenak begat numerous sons and daughters, the eldest [son being] Aramayis. Aramayis begat many sons and daughters, the eldest being Amasia. Amasia begat many sons and daughters, the eldest being Gegham. Gegham begat many sons and daughters, the eldest being Harma. Harma begat many sons and daughters, the eldest being Aram. Aram begat many sons and daughters, the eldest being Ara the Handsome.
Now these are the names of the men who gave birth to [the Armenian] race who were born in Babylon and went to the northern areas, to the country of Ararad. For Hayk left Babylon with his wife and sons and all their household. He went and settled in the Ararad country in an estate at the foot of a mountain, which previously had been built by Zruan together with his fathers and brothers.
Hayk gave to his grandson Kadmos, Aramenak's son, [this] property in inheritance. Then [Hayk] himself went farther north and settled in the midst of a highland plain which he named Hark', after the name of the Fathers [g48].
The country was called Hayk', appropriately [named] after him, and the people, Haykids [Armenians].
Now this Hayk was very strong and handsome, and an extremely powerful archer and warrior.
At that time the giant Be'l the Titan ruled as king in Babylon, a hunter and grand false god who was extremely powerful and very handsome. He was ruler over all peoples spread across the face of the entire world and he [accomplished] his royal commands over all peoples with the aid of witchcraft. In his boastful pride, [Be'l] erected images of himself and had the country worship him as a god and offer sacrifices.
All peoples immediately implemented his orders, except for a certain [man] named Hayk, the patriarch (nahapet) of peoples who did not submit to his service, did not erect [Be'l's] image in his home and did not glorify him as a god.
This man's name was Hayk, and King Be'l conceived a great grudge against him. King Be'l massed troops in Babylon and went against Hayk to kill him.
He reached the country of Ararad and the estate which was their patrimony which had been built at the base of the mountain. Kadmos fled to Hark' to inform his father, saying: "King Be'l is coming against you and has reached the estate there, and so I, with my wife and children have come [to you] as fugitives."
Hayk took Aramenak and his son Kadmos as well as their sons and the sons of their seven daughters, gigantic men but few in number.
Hayk went to fight King Be'l but was unable to confront him because of the multitude of [Be'l's] gigantic armored men.
Now when Hayk struck at King Be'l, Be'l wanted to seize him with his own hands, but Hayk evaded him and fled. In hot pursuit, Be'l went after him with his weapons-bearer.
Hayk halted and asked him: "Why do you pursue me? Return to your own place so that you do not die today at my hands, for my arrow will not miss its mark." Then Be'l replied: "[I pursue you in person] so that you do not fall into the hands of my young men and perish. Instead [g49], give yourself up to me and live in my house in peace, looking after the young hunters in my house."
Hayk answered him, saying: "You are a dog and from a pack of dogs, you and your people. Therefore, today I will empty my quiver at you." The Titan King [Be'l] was armored and trusted in the full armoring of his person.
[3] Hayk, [descendant] of Japheth, advanced closer, holding in his hand a bow which was like a branch of a mighty pine tree, and then he took position against [Be'l] with his bow at the ready. He picked up [the] quiver from the ground by him and [putting an arrow] to the gigantic arc of his bow, drew it back to his shoulder and [released the] arrow [which] forcefully penetrated the armor plating, pierced the bronze shield, passed through the pillar of meat and emerged, falling on the ground. The giant, who thought himself to be a god, immediately fell to the ground and his troops fled. Pursuing them, [Hayk and his troops] took herds of horses, mules and camels from them.
Hayk returned to his own place; and he went and took over the country of Ararad and dwelled there with his clan (azg), until now. At the time of his death, he gave his heritable property to his grandson, Katmos, son of Aramenak, brother of Harma. And he ordered Aramenak to go to the northern region where he himself had first dwelled.
After the death of Hayk, Aramenak took his sons and daughters and their husbands, the seven sisters and their husbands, sons, and daughters, with all of their belongings, and went and dwelled there in the first district which they called Hark', after the name of their father, Hayk'. Then Aramenak went farther north, descending onto a deep plain which is between lofty mountains and which is crossed by a fast-moving river. Crossing this, Aramenak settled there and built up the country of his inheritance, a place of mountains and rocks.
After Aramenak, his son, Aramayis, built his residential dwelling over the river banks and called it Aramayir after his own name. Then his sons began to multiply and fill the country. And they built districts.
Aramayis, too, died and his son, Amasia, took over his country; and after him was Gegham. Gegham died and his son, Harma, ruled, then Harma's son, Aram [ruled]. [Aram's] son was Ara the Handsome, by whose name that very plain was known, Ayrarad [g50].
Shamiram, the wife of Ninos, the king of the Assyrians, heard about his beauty and wanted to have relations with [Ara] to fulfill her desire with prostitution. [This was] because she was extremely aroused by what she had heard and was inflamed by his person and physical beauty, since there was no other man having his striking good looks anywhere. She sent emissaries with offerings to him, calling him to her at Ninue'. But Ara did not accept her offerings, nor did he agree to go to Shamiram in Ninue'. So Shamiram took her troops and went against Hayk. She came and reached the plain of Ara, and made war with Ara, striking [his] troops and killing him in battle.
Shamiram ordered that his body be taken to the roof of her palace and said: "I will tell the gods to lick his wounds and bring him back to life."
But when his corpse began to decay, she secretly ordered that it be thrown into a pit and covered up. She then adorned one of her lovers, a man who was an appropriate [substitute], and then noised it about that Ara had been licked by the gods and had resurrected. She kept [the double] hidden and did not show him to anyone who knew him. Thus did Queen Shamiram cause the story of the [mythological creatures called] aralezk' to be spread about.
Then Shamiram ruled over the country of the Armenians and from that time the kings of Assyria ruled [over Armenia] until the death of Senek'arim
