 * That form is some fancy plural, explicitly listed as a plural under in Sokoloff (page 166b). Fay Freak (talk) 19:48, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. As you said, after the vocalization /bar aryāwān/ did not look similar, so I removed it. --Vahag (talk) 09:18, 17 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I had less awareness of that ending and unattested Aramaic terms in May 2019: Can -iwn (as you don’t talk much at its page about its different origins) be the Aramaic diminutive ending -ōnā though, formations from which are often too colloquial to be attested, found in, , , , , , etc.?  would be from the borrowing being old enough as from Indo-European terms starting with *gʷ and g inherited into Old Armenian, and we see  also had /o/ at some proto point. Northwest Semitic /ɡ/ may have been heard labialized, if that is necessary, like  surfaces , . So  is from Old Aramaic *gūryōnā, of course unattested.
 * I think you and  also want to complete ,, the former word more likely just being a blend/compound of two other words and hardly related, not to speak of the Slavic and Greek connections. Fay Freak (talk) 19:27, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I expect that Aramaic suffix to give or, as in .  is found in Indo-European words and has been explained in PIE terms, though I have not added the explanations yet․ So the Semitic origin is highly speculative.
 * PS. is related to, which was until recently considered a Kartvelian borrowing because Armenian linguists thought the Georgian is a native term related to . In 2005 Lavrenti Hovhannisyan suggested an Iranian origin for , but I don't have his book. I will deal with  shortly. Vahag (talk) 18:25, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
