| 2324 | ENT_ARM_ARAMAZD | reception_of | ENT_ZOR_AHURA_MAZDA | high | Aramazd is the direct Armenian reception of Ahura Mazda; the name derives by regular Armenian sound change (Avestan Ahura Mazdā → Middle Iranian Ohrmazd → Armenian Aramazd). Both are supreme deities, creators of heaven and earth, and heads of the divine order. Russell (1987) pp. 78-120 establishes this derivation as the most linguistically and theologically secure connection in Armenian religious history. | SRC_RUSSELL_ZOR_ARMENIA | reviewed | PER_ARM_PAGAN |
