[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] I can't justify the modern use of Syrian to use as a generic translation for [i]A3MW[/i] because today Syrian means the nation state of Syria. Greco- Latin authors have used it to mean the whole of the Levant (east Mediterranean coast). But the people who lived there were very specific about Ssur applying to Phoenician Tyre. The best I can make out for [i]A3MW[/i] is that it was generically applied to all peoples northeast and east of [i]T3 WY[/i]. As such there's no one English word to appropriately apply save the specialized meaning for Asiatic (where it doesn't mean central and far east Asia). Many other AE noted precise ethnies fit under the [i]A3MW[/i] umbrella. Conquest stelae are the best place to uncover the plethora of "sub-A3MW" "Asiatics." Some of [i]A3MW[/i] ethnies located in what today is Syria are individually named [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=005572#000003]here[/URL], but were the Hittites also considered [i]A3MW[/i]? Another thing I wonder is if Persians were ever noted as [i]A3MW[/i]. [/QB][/QUOTE]
