Interesting!!!

[Harut]

Dear linguists,

 

do you see anything interesting in this line?

"Yete du hors hetsis"

[Harut]

so, nobody sees anything interesting here?

 

Arpa, how would you explain the above phrase?

Sorry Harut if this will pop your balloon even if the subject may deal with "soaring" on a steed.

Hi Harut.

I had noticed that but decided to not comment.

As you may already know, it may be purely a coincident.

I don't it is what you think it is. That is, if you mean that it looks and sounds like "horse".

However, it does mean a horse in an indirect manner. As we well know the Armenian word for horse is "dzi" or even "esh". Yes, "esh" is an Armenian word and "eshek" is not Turkish, they borrowed it from us. It is related to the Indo-European equus/equine.

As to "y-ors" below, the word is in fact "ors" with the hi as a prefix. It is a custom of the grabar, and examples are plenty. I cannot comment on the origin and reason for adding the letter "hi" to some nouns. As you can see below the "hi" precedes some other words as in "yAzatn". just as we also add it to words like "y-Aynzham"(at this hour), "y-Anapazor"(this day, as we say "Hats mer h-anapazor, tour mez aysor/ Give us THIS DAY...). It seems it is meant to mean "this", the present.

 

"ors/vors" is usually used to mean hunt or the hunted, as vorsal/vorsord, the quarry, the prey, originally it meant a "beast", i.e. the beast that is hunted. And by extension, it is also meant a "beast" in this case, except that the "beast" here seems to be a horse or a mount. But then again, the author may have meant to "ride your beast/lion/tiger/dragon".

In that light the above may be intrepreted;

"If you mount your "beast"(choose one of the above),

Up the peaks of Azat Masis

The braves of ages will receive you

At the peaks of Masis,

And when you stop there, you will see the Light".

I would like to correct an error in a previous post. I said "y-anapazor" means "this day", in fact it means "daily" as in "daily bread". "y-aysmavour" means "this day" as in "Khorhourd mets ev sqancheli vor y-aysmavour haytnetsav".
