Can any one throw the economic interpretations of the word Aryan?

Kishore patnaik
============

From the root H2_r "mountain"
hence *ar-yo
the mountain people : Taurus people.

Most people around Anatolia are :
- the flat-land people : pala-ite
- the sea-people : Ahhijawa, Yawani
- the mountain people : Ar-ya

The same root gives the word &ar-ab :
from the mountains of Hejaz.
