Խուբուշկիա և Արմիրալի երկրների նույնության ու բնույթի մասին

Abstract

Assyrian sources mention the country Khubushkia (Hubuškia). It was among the smaller countries situated on the Armenian Tavros. The Khubushkia occupied the part of Southern Armenia, to south of Lake Van, in the river basin of Eastern Tigris. According to the author, the capital of country-of the same name Khubushkia, was situated in the centre of country in Hovadasht. In the toponym Hub-ušk-ia for component Hub-//*Hov- compare with Armenian toponym Հով (next Օվ)>Հովա(>Հովա դաշտ “field of Hova”), possessive case: Hova. Ancient Armenian princely families Mokatsi and Andzavatsi are mentioned together in the “History of Armenia” by Movses Khorenatsi. So, their possessions were in the neighbourhood in the river basin of Eastern Tigris, hence the ancestors of the tribe Khimuva/Khimme lived in the neighbourhood in the cuneiform Khubushkia-Armirali. For Armirali<*arm-ir-ali compare with Zarmayr<*z-arm-ayr, where *arm-“chariot” (compare ancient Greek aρμα “chariot”). To deduce, the Union of the future regions of ancient Armenia – Mokq and Andzevatsik was the most important center of that time where Indo-European social institute of two leaders and Indo-European cult of godlike Twins were shaped (compare with Sanasar and Baghdasar from “Sasna tsrer”).
