so what "bartix" and what faction replaces armenia go then?!!

[sharrukin]

As of now the list I gave you is the complete list of 'Armenian only' units and some of the others are of course shared with other factions. This really helps a lot.

The Malhazutyun came from a website dealing with the Armenian nobility.

nobility.artsakhworld.com

Are you certain about this one?

Horse - Dzi is the regular word for horse. Njouyk (nuh-jewy-k) is more gallant...

The word is not related to aspi/aspa in any way?

[artavazd]

Ayrudzi is two words ayrudz is lion in armenian but the workd ayrudzi is two words with ayr ( man) and dzi (horse) its a compound if said fast sounds like saying lion in armenian but its two words

[Dooz]

Ahh, that's right. There you go then.

And ya, dzi means horse.

[jerby]

ok, april fools was funny. but this. this is plain old hilarious.

ABOSIX is you read a normal EB thread here and there like The Lost Art Of Keeping a Secret. you will learn much more.

Njouyk (nuh-jewy-k) being what exactly?

ayr dzi as a compound being man-horse (horseman) and ayrudz as a singlular being Lion?

Wonderland
Ahh, that's right. There you go then.
And ya, dzi means horse.

Arslan/aslan was stated as being Armenian for lion by one source but given what both have said here and the fact that Alp Arslan led the Turks in the battle of Manzikert I would guess it's Turkish (or at least not Armenian)?

Armenia is Hayasdan or Hayastan? The -stan endings are of Iranian origin but I am not certain if the -dan is the more modern or the earlier form.

This is great and very helpful.

Njouyk is more like stallion I suppose. Dzi should be fine though.

ayr dzi as a compound being man-horse (horseman) and ayrudz as a singlular being Lion?

lol yes, basically. Here's how that works.
Ayrudz means lion. The possesive of lion would be ayrudzi.
On a completely different note, ayr means man, dzi means horse as stated. Ayrudzi is the compound word that comes from these two.
The difference is pronunciation and spelling in Armenian. The reason I first said it's lion is because that is the more common word used to this day.

Arslan/aslan was stated as being Armenian for lion by one source but given what both have said here and the fact that Alp Arslan led the Turks in the battle of Manzikert I would guess it's Turkish (or at least not Armenian)?

Yes, aslan is the turkish word for lion.

Armenia is Hayasdan or Hayastan? The -stan endings are of Iranian origin but I am not certain if the -dan is the more modern or the earlier form.

Yes, Armenians call Armenia Hayastan.

This is great and very helpful.

Glad to help EB

[artavazd]

Hayastan comes from the word Haik the legendary father of all armenians In the legend he kills Bell the King of Babylon. Armenians call themselves after Haik and with the rules of lingustics Haik can loose the "k" and be Hai (Hai means "Armenian" in Armenian) The word Armenian is said to come from two sources one of which states that the Armen tirbe of the Armenian highlands gave birth to the word Armenia, and another theory states that it was taken after the semi-legondary king Aram. (which was Aramu in the Urartian dynasty the first armenian kingdom)

[Dooz]

Just so happens that my name is Hayk (the original spelling of the name) . EB should probably implement that name as one of the family members, heh heh. Theres plenty of sources if needed.

Whole thread in one time
Fell of the chair
Still trying to breathe

(some kind of uranian weapon of hilarious mass destruction, i assume)

[KukriKhan]

Absolutely the finest thread produced by the membership...ever. You guys could teach the folks in the Tavern a good lesson in interpersonal interactions (i.e. how to deal with a problem contributor).

[khelvan]

Thanks! I get a laugh every time I read the thread. I think I shall sticky it, to make this the gift that keeps on giving.

[Dooz]

Kinda seems like the magic has been drained though... unless good ol' Abo comes back with a zinger.

This thread is hilarious, really.
It even made it into my sig.... hehe

Difficult to be has skilled as Abokix was.
Let's try:

[aboxix mode on]

I WANNA KNOW WHAT ARE UNITS OF THE NEW GAWLS FACTIONS REPLACING ROMIES AND THE PREVIEW OF THE JAFFAS BAND OF THE GOA'ULD BARABRORUM xPANSION PAK?




[aboxix mode off]

Aargh. It hurts.
Too much...smileys.....
*agonizing*



PS:
This guy reminds me of a stupid internet game I once played, called "Boulet RPG". In english, something like "stupid 12-year-old nerd role playing game".
Very funny. The purpose was to write as much idiot posts and threads as possible without being kicked, and the number of replies gave exp points, used to buy nerd skills like "smiley-philia", "grammarocide", "maj lock", "dying HREF beacons", "multicolor typing", "1337 coding", "stubbornitty" or "revolting friendship".
Abox seems a high level character

[jerby]

omg, its a stickey, aboxix must be proud.

[Nowake]

THE PREVIEW OF THE JAFFAS BAND OF THE GOA'ULD BARABRORUM xPANSION PAK?

Why yes young Arkhesilas, the preview:

The head-chopping season in Bartix - which is year-round - caughts Nowake drooling and engaged in hot pursuit of 2 armenian imigrants who thought their surogate heads would be secure in Neverland Bartix from the headless falxmen of Europa Barbarorum. While finally displacing their mellow Goa'uld brain-washed heads, he overhears their death-screams: Gah!!!

Take these 2 heads young

Arkhesilas

, and keep them for the offspring, one never has enough...

[Yoyoma1910]

Well, though the thread still lives in a form, I suppose the torrential shifting of emotion and confusion has subsided into lessons on philology... Which I am currently studying here in Austria, land of the chain smoker As well as the Beer drinker.

I simply want to point out that many young as well as old people, when first learning a language, may come across as what some may refer to as the "village idiot" whenever they speak or write. Often, words and phrases sound broken and senseless to native speakers. This is not neccesarily indicative of ones true intelligence. For example, recently in a course I am attending on the History of Austria in the 20th century, which is being held in english, a native of Tirol (in which area they speak a very specific dialect of the German Language) made a rather silly error.

During his presentation on The Role of the Austrian Military in World War I this fellow had confused the word "Allies" of the word "Aliens." Can you imagine our shock and horror as we learned that Austria-Hungary and Germany had been fighting "Alien Forces" in the early 1900s! After he continuously made the mistake for a few minutes, our professor kindly informed him the Mars had indeed not been fighting along side Italy, France,Britanniaa, Russia, and the Americans. It was rather funny... maybe you had to be there, I don't know.

Anotherrealy good example of a persons struggle with learning aforeignn language while being suddenly immersed in the culture can be found in the rather witty (though a bithomoeroticc at times) Me Talk Pretty Oneday by David Sedaris. A collection of journalistic short stories about an American who moves suddenly to France in order to live out some dream he's always had, about being aforeignerr. You can also find a good bit a his commentary at www.NPR.com National Public Radio. Check it out... and maybe catch up on episodes of All Things Considered that you might have missed.

Also, It is also a fairly kommon Mistake for German Speakers to kontinue Kapitalizing all their Nouns or to aksidentaly replace all Cs with Ks. English speakersindeedd often have a similarly opposite issue with the German Language.

So perhaps the poor fellow here is simply going through some 'growing pains' as he adjusts hislinguisticc body into theadolescencee of language he isunaccustomedd to. I know many non native speakers who wish they could simply carry around a sign. And maybe thisscenarioo: represents the anxiety he feels as people make him feel like a dull light. Which would explain the whole lightbulb commentary... which I do not understand happening, when he could have simply used one of these images instead of the word: .

Perhaps he's sitting at home,in frontt of his computer (possibly with no arms, as the image suggests) doing a little of this: . And so, to hide the fact that he feels as if he wants to he has to : .

Perhaps when he is telling you about an "Alien Invasion", he really mean "Allied Invasion." Maybe he's hoping for some american support and understanding on this one.

Or perhaps he has now found himself to be an actual Alien, living in a land he is not a natural citizen of, and this has made him very sensitive to the topic of beingreferredd to as an Alien. Maybe he's afraid of being deported.

Perhaps what he really needs, in order to express himself in understandable manners is not ridicule but our understanding and support.



Come here little fella. I won't hurt ya. We can build sand castles or catch flies or maybe build some snowmen ! Wouldn't that be exciting.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

By the way, Wonderland, mind if we at RTR use your info on Armenian (with attribution, of course)? We're still debating whether to use native or English names for units.

This is actually harder to decode than ancient languages. But I think I've discovered one thing. In the original post, he makes a type of question, which in a court of law is called a "compound question". This is a form of question which the defence/prosecution can "object" to, and the judge will say "sustained".

tell what bartix and the faction that replaces armenia got then??

Notice that he mentions both "bartix" and "armenia" in a "compound question", which may imply that "bartix" is of the same category as "armenia". If this is so, it means that "bartix" is possibly a faction. As mentioned earlier, it could in fact be Baktria. However, when a mind is lost to such lunacy, I doubt we will ever know what he really meant. Zully and Pox Nulder will archive this along with the other unsolved cases of the...

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the......
