Տայոց կենաց ծառի, Թինա դիցուհու և հայերեն խաւ արմատի մասին

<jats:p>The king of Assyria Tiglath-Pileser I (1115-1077 BC) undertook two campaigns against the countries north of Assyria. The objects of the campaigns were the Nairi countries and their Black Sea allies. In Nairi the army of Tiglath-Pileser I overcame 16 “strong mountains” and conquered 23 Nairi countries. In the enumeration of mountains Sheshe occupies the last place, and among the Nairi countries the last place is occupied the country Dayaeni. Therefore, Urartologists rightly believe that Mount Sheshe and Dayaeni were “components of one and the same historical and geographical unit”. The King of Urartu Menua (810-786 BC) in connection with the campaign against Diaukhi/Dayaeni mentions the mountain Sheshetina. According to N. Harutyunyan, Sheshetina should be “interpreted as Šeše and tina (resp. tini ?), i.e. a mountain with the name Sheshe”. But the point is that the oronym Sheshe-tina is written with the ending -a, not -i- (as written the corresponding Urartian word). So, -tina- and -tini are different words.
