ՀԱՅԿԱԿԱՆ ՍՈՒՐՃ/Haykakan Sourj

 

We have an otar hars in our clan who will shoot and kill you if you say “furkish kaffi”, she will not serve you until you recite “Haykakan Sourj”.

This is kind of a response to this;

See who introduced coffee to Europe, yet we clowns, just like at other times told the world that they were “furkish” , not to forget “yeghurt/yoghurt,” or the Armenian biscuit bread that we called it “akmak”.

Akhmakh/fool/idiot indeed!!! http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=1629&st=0&p=118030&hl=akmak&fromsearch=1entry118030

ՍՈՒՐՃ ( Արեմտահայերէն)* խահվէ, ղահվէ. սեւ ջուր**

* Is the above saying that “sourj” is WA word?

**This is interesting as we will see why.

Արմատական Աճառեան(It is mainly conjecture)

ՍՈՒՐՃ- «խահուէ, կոֆէ » . Նոր ժամանակի բառ , որից սրճարան , սրճագործ, ՍՐՃԵՓ, սրճաղաց… etc. Սուրճը ԺԵ դարում Եթովպիայից սկսեց տարածուել ամբողջ Արեւելքում, որից անցաւ Եւրոպա: Բարիս հնագոյն գործածութիւնը 1787 թուից ունը Ջուղ էջ 203 երկու անգամ «Տան նմա սուրճ, այսինքն ղահֆա առ ի ըմպել. Եւ երբ աւարտեաց զարբումն սրճոյն , այսինքն ղահվային… » Ոմանք համրուն են բնաձայն , ուրիշներ «սեւ ջուր» բառից….

He intimates that “sev jour/սեւ ջուր” was a code word which eventually ended up as “ՍՈՒՐՃ/sourj”, like when the head of the household would ask the daughter or the servant to treat the guests with “black water/սեւ ջուր/ՍՈՒՐՋ/ՍՈՒՐՃ”.\

This is verrrry interrresting. Most other sources say “coffee” was named for the Ethiopian region known as “kaffa”.

This is the simplest and almost certainly the oldest method of making

coffee, whose beans originally came from a plant indigenous to the

highlands of Ethiopia, where they were probably first drunk in

powdered form somewhere between 600 and 1,000 years ago. The

Ethiopians called the coffee plant bun, and when, in the 15th and 16th

centuries, its consumption, and, eventually, its cultivation crossed

the Gulf of Eden** to Yemen and traveled from there to other Arab

countries, the drink was called by the Arabs qahwat el-bun*, the elixir

of the bun. . In time, this was shortened shortqahwa, to qahwa, from

which our English coffee ultimately derives.

* I had known that word and that in the Arabic “bunni” means brown. Except that raw coffee beans are green

Only roasted coffee is brown.
