Urartian word taršua (‘man, human’) etymology
Based on typological examples of the meanings ‘man, human’ from different languages, formed on the basis of the meaning ‘male’, the article considers the new interpretation of the etymology of the Hurrit-Urartian word tarsuwa // taršua ‘man, human’. In addition by means of the comparative method of comparing the meanings of the lexical foundations of the Hurrit-Urartian, Nakhchian, Semitic, and Indo-European languages, the author simultaneously draws a conclusion that the emergence of the widespread royal title šarru // šarruma (‘king’) in Ancient Mesopotamia is also correlated with the meaning bull, male’.
