Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)
1] What you CAN NOT post.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene
You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)
The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!
2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.
This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.
3] Keep the focus.
Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.
4] Behave as you would in a public location.
This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.
5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.
Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.
6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.
Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.
7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.
- PLEASE READ -
Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.
8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)
If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

Re: Armenian cognates w/other languages
A nice list of all the Proto-Indo-European reconstructions. You can look for tons of roots here that have modern reflexes in English and Armenian: http://www.utexas.edu/cola/centers/l.../pie-agri.html

Re: Armenian cognates w/other languages
Any Greek words in Armenian?

Re: Armenian cognates w/other languages
Tarn-al - To Turn
Vertche - After? - Après (French, reveals r after labial consonant, just like Armenian. Could've been lost in English, or never developed in English. A bit of an adventurous connection perhaps, but I see phonological shifts that could tie them together)?
Dzar - Tree
Tchur - Water
Kordz - Work (backwards?)
gen/ge/ga/gan suffix - kind (type)/kin
jam - time
heru - far
amar - summer
payd (unless iranian borrowing) - wood
kini - wine
kenats - gone
gyank - quick (used to mean "alive" in Old English)
yertasart - youth?
Meghr - Mead (only surviving PIE "honey" reference in English)?
pan-al - to open
cots-el - to close
nst-il - to sit
partsr - upper?
dzayr - edge
gyn - queen
dun - home - doma (Russian, using it to help you link English and Armenian forms)
kr-el/gr-el - scribe (Latin derived English word) - écriv-er (French, lost the s just like Armenian)Last edited by jgk3; 12-03-2008, 05:00 AM.

Just kidding, I would never sell mine. I purchased the Armenian original and the English translation about ten years ago for $20 each at the St. Vartan Cathedral gift shop. I think the book is out of print. I have not come across any of the books for a long time now, which may explain the current high price. See if you can borrow it from someone that owns the book. Kavukjian lived the last portion of his life in Montreal, you should have some luck finding the book there. Since you are genuinely interested in this subject matter, you would absolutely treasure the book. It's really a great piece of work.

Re: Armenian cognates w/other languages
Originally posted by Armenian View PostWell, aren't all Indo-Europeans (Aryans) derived of the Armenian Highlands? Perhaps more than other Aryan nations in the Western world, Scots (Celts) have direct linguistic, physiological and cultural connections to the Armenian highlands. Read Martiros Kavukjian's monumental work titled: Armenia, Subartu and Sumer - The Indo-European Homeland and Ancient Mesopotamia.
