Re: [tied] Ares etymology (was Re: Bakkhos etymology)

I'm thinking it as a loanword. Perhaps Are:s < *Erwent through some another IE language. Just a guess.

What's the stem of Are:s? Are:- or Are:s- ? Genitive is Areos.

Any link with Briareo:s (gen. Briareo:) or Amphiaraos?

And with Armenian Aray?
