Arpa Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 Here is a twof'r f'r you.Translate the following into Armenian where all four words will sound (almost) the same."(the)person passed (through the) cave painless". And here is the other one.Our cops, to sound highly literate, will not describe a perpetrator as man, woman, child, boy, girl etc. They say "individual". What Armenian word is this based on?Hint. Individual means; "that who cannot be divided". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpa Posted June 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 Andzy antsav andzy antsav. good one Very good Sasun and Harut! I neglected to indicate that the Armenian phrase can be in several orders.Antsav andz@ antsavits antsav. Andz@ antsavits antsav antsav.. etc. Now tell us why we use "antsav" to mean cave/qarayr.And Harut, you could analyze the word "anhat". What does it really/basically mean? Does that mean Seap is not an "anhat" with his head cutoff?:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpa Posted June 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 Correction;Antsav andz@ andzavits antsav.And the question should also read "andzav" as in cave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sip Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 On a related note, does "puzzle" translate to "haneluk" and thus would the solution of the puzzle be called "mdtsneluk"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpa Posted June 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 Antsav andz@ andzavits antsav. Try to say that 6 times really fast What a tongue twister!Hey Sip!How do you say "tongue twister" in Arm.?Lezva-volor? In fact there is a term for it which is very smilira to your "haneluk".Hint.

Harut Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Now tell us why we use "antsav" to mean cave/qarayr. And Harut, you could analyze the word "anhat". What does it really/basically mean? nothing really comes to mind right now about "andzav", but for "anhat"...like you said, it means unbreakable (the smallest partical).we have "zhoghovurd" that can be broken down to "azg" maybe."azg" to "@ntaniq"."@ntaniq" to "zuyq".and "zuyq" to "anhat"."anhat" is the "atom" of humanity.

Ndzav is used to mean cave, according to some, based on tye root of "andz" yo mean narrow as in "andzuk". Being that most caves are narrow or have a narrow entrance... "anhat" literally means chi hatvadz i.e uncut. whole, individual (that cannot be divided).So, based on this, does it mean some people, mainly male people, in particular those who subscribe to certain religions who must a have minor surgery, be cut, then they would not considered be individuals. Right? :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that most caves are narrow or have a narrow entrance... "andzav" is written with letter "dz" [dza] (17th letter)"ants"/"antsuk"/"antsq" are written with letter "ts" [tsoy] (33th letter) so, i don't know.

Harut Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 i suspect "andzav" has something to do with "andz" (person), because another word for "andzav" is "ayr", which also means "man". "qarandzav"/"qarayr" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
