Arpa Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) ՕՁ Azi- Snake-Dragon-Վիշապ?(Edit. some of the images I posted were not allowed,that I had no permission... therefor...)Speaking of "azi-dahak" remember the Armenian word "ասպատակ" to mean "pirate/highway robber". (later).Also remember that in the Armenian “izh/ԻԺ” is another word for snake.This item may also fit under the topic of LANGUAGE, as we will see.In another topic - MYTHOLOGY, I posted an article about Tigran and Azhdahak.Here is what the Armatakan says about ՕՁ snake/angui/angis/anghis , which is corroborated by the following ;ՕՁ Բնիկ Հայերէն բառ, ՀՆԽ “ANGHI”** ցեղակիցներից Յն /Greek Angis and Latin “anguis”. It is found in many other languages including the Russian “ozi”.**How come no one has connected the Greco-Latin “ophis/anghi/angui” with the Armenian Tork Angegh?? And, how no one has tied the Azi-s, you know who’s to snakes?An aside;ԱԺԴԱՀԱԿ- Գեղամա Լեռնաշղթայի ամենաբարձր գագաթը , 3598 meters.

Click on Armenia and zoom in. Azhdahak Mountain is directly west (left) of it. Can one of our house geeks zero in on?;http://www.maplandia.com/armenia/ Lake Sevan is also a volcanic crater in that same Gegham mountain range. Melting mountain snow will follow the easiest way, down , out. and away. Is there no way to redirect that water, be it tunnels or canals to fill that crater at Mt. Azhdahak with water and create a mini-Sevan? ----http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZahhakEtymology and derived wordsAži (nominative ažiš) is the Avestan word for "serpent" or "dragon." It is cognate to the Vedic Sanskrit word ahi, "snake," and without a sinister implication. Azi and Ahi are distantly related to Greek ophis, Latin anguis, both meaning. "snake."The original meaning of dahāka is uncertain. Among the meanings suggested are "stinging" (source uncertain), "burning" (cf. Sanskrit dahana), "man" or "manlike" (cf. Khotanese daha), "huge" or "foreign" (cf. the Scythian Dahae and the Vedic dasas). In Persian mythology, Dahāka is treated as a proper noun, and is the source of the Ḍaḥḥāk (Zahhāk) of the Shāhnāme. Pay special attention here where the Princess Tigranuhi and the Orontid Dynasty is mentioned.---Zahhāk the EmperorArmenian Princess Tigranuhi Orontid before wedding with Ajdahak About this time, Jamshid, who was then the ruler of the world, through his arrogance lost his divine right to rule. Zahhāk presented himself as a savior to those discontented Iranians who wanted a new ruler (reflecting the embracing of the Arab religion and culture by Persians after the Arab conquest of Persia and the subsequent oppression Persians faced). Collecting a great army, he marched against Jamshid, who fled when he saw that he could not resist Zahhāk. Zahhāk hunted Jamshid for many years, and at last caught him and subjected him to a miserable death -- he had Jamshid sawn in half. Zahhāk now became the ruler of the entire world. Among his slaves were two of Jamshid's daughters, Arnavāz and Shahrnavāz (the Avestan Arənavāci and Savaŋhavāci).Zahhāk's two snake heads still craved human brains for food, so every day Zahhāk's spies would seize two men, and execute them so their brains could feed the snakes. Two men, called Armayel and Garmayel, wanted to find a way to rescue people from being killed for the snakes. So they learned cookery and after mastering how to cook great meals, they went to Zahhāk's palace and managed to become the chefs of the palace. Every day, they saved one of the two men and put the brain of a sheep instead of his into the food, but they could not save the lives of both men. Those who were saved were told to flee to the mountains and to faraway plains; these rescued individuals eventually became the ancestors of the Kurds.***Ajdahak dream Zahhāk's tyranny over the world lasted for centuries. But one day Zahhāk had a terrible dream – he thought that three warriors were attacking him, and that the youngest knocked him down with his mace, tied him up, and dragged him off toward a tall mountain. When Zahhāk woke he was in a panic. Following the counsel of Arnavāz, he summoned wise men and dream-readers to explain his dream. They were reluctant to say anything, but one finally said that it was a vision of the end of Zahhāk's reign, that rebels would arise and dispossess Zahhāk of his throne. He even named the man who would take Zahhāk's place: Fereydun.*** See Dahak/Dahuk,Duhok of Iraqi Kurdistan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duhok,_Iraq Edited January 16, 2010 by Arpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
