    Re: Armenian cognates w/other languages

    Մարտ (battle)
    Western Armenian: Mard
    Eastern Armenian: Mart
    English: Martial (of or to do with war or fighting, eg. 'martial arts'.

    But Մարտ also means 'March' as in the month, so I guess both the Armenian and the English are related to Mars, the Roman god of war.

    I simply looked up "who are the basque" on google. Found a site stating the Basque trace their ancestry to Hayastan. Many word connections and place name connections as well as folklore.

    I doubt direct, Scots originally migrated from Ireland into Inse ghall (Hebrides) and then to Edinburgh, the Celts originally were from the earliest accounts from modern day Montenegro (some coins still bear Celtic ornaments), also DNA wise Armenians have little in common with Scots, that said there is an Armenian influence on Celts via the fact that Celts traded in Anatolia and would frequently have come into contact with Armenians (the majority people at that stage pre Turkey).

    I have not found any cognates between Scottish/Irish Gaelic and Hayeren, although my Hayeren isn't good and I'm still learning it.

    Also I thought the brunt and majority of Armenian is taken from Urartian?
