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.

    It seems that there are at least 1166 documented songs or chants and some may date as early as early Christian times in Armenia.
    Wow I never knew there were so many songs.

      That's a considerable wealth! I may be wrong, but I doubt that - for istance - the Germans or the English did inherit such a large collection of medieval songs!
      What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

          It's in Mousaleran "bar-bar".

          First few lines go "Germir fsdan haghootsi..hala hala hala nino eh, chortsr axvoor viloudzi hala hala hala nino eh....

          "translation" which is obvious is Garmir fsdan(dress) haghootsi(hakela), then- chortsr(?) axvoor viloodzi= inchel "axvor" sazela.

          Basically it's the Armenian version of Lady In Red.

          I understand some of it, cuz my dad's side speaks it sometimes (the elders mainly). But if you listen carefuly it's Armenian words-- twisted a bit.


          We used to sing "Garmir vardik haghootsi" and get such a kick out of it.

              lol! i am mousa lertsi! hala hala hala nino eh! i was listening to that in my car today! LOL!

              che-ka you've never heard of the mousalertsi barbar?

              "lady in red"!!! lol... ya... sure...

              this is the party song... this gets put on, the old women the old men (and i'm talking OLD! like 80 and above) they get up and dance... of course we youngstas do too... we grab the "tashkinag" and wave it around, dance our little shourj-par...

              i think it must be in my blood, because when i first heard this song, maybe i was 6, i was in love with it...

              sprial did your family go to the "harisa" Musa Lertsi gatherings in fresno?

              so Harisa means "Hari - Sa" which means "beat this" and thats how we make the it... harelov...

              - and - Musa means (MOVSES)

                not to turn it into another psedo-linguistic thread, but are you sure about that? because i've read it comes from the word մուսա [musa] (don't know the english word for it), the inspirational spirits in Greek mythology...
                and some other theories about the name...

                  let me ask someone who knows this stuff --- my dad's horkuyr - she was born in Musa Ler.

                  after major killings in 1915 some people went back to Musa Ler (some of whom were her parents) ~1920s and she was born there, and after some short period the turks kept bothering them and in 1928 her family left to Lebanan.

                  musa is definetely in armenian and i was wrong she says it means - to get an idea - "yerp vor havest k'ga" or "yerp vor mi banes mtatsum yev mikt a galis"

                  i thought it was Movses because SOMETIMES they called my uncle who's name is Movses, Musa or for making fun of him they say "gij Musa, khlar Musa"

                  hmm, they tricked me! lol! j/k i love my family...

                    Creates an 'anthem-like' vibe doesn't it!

                    Noope.

                    I think there were Musa Lertsi gatherings at Glendale as well.

                    Didn't go to those either.
