Mushel/Mushegh

During the middle ages L changed into GH in various names and words (ie: Lazaros->Ghazaros). Mushel (Hittie Mursilis) changed into Mushegh. Some historians use Musel, Armenians only use Mushegh. Mushegh is more common.--Eupator 17:07, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for explanation. And why there are two versions of Vartan/Vardan's name? --Ghirla ^-трёп- 17:17, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vartan is written with a d: Վարդան, but the d is pronounced as a t'. The proper transliteration is Vartan.--Eupator 17:54, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Chinese fiasco

No contemporary write claimed they were of Chinese origion and neither did any Mamikonian. They reference was to a certain Chenk. What this Chenk was is still open to debate and has been argued to be many things by modern scholars, among them China or the Georgian tribe of Tzans. Other scholars have speculated of Tocharian origins (many Mamikonians seemed to be redheads). I had a good anakysis of their origins. I'll look for the book tomorrow and post relevant excerpts here.--Eupator 03:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
