Re: Re[4]: [tied] Economic analysis of Indian History: meaning of Ar

 Let us not discuss semantics.

You just now given one more sociological meaning ' high born' 

I repeat that I am looking for economic interpretations of the word Arya .

is it connected for eg., with Gold (arum, shining) or A(r)yus, the iron?

The other meanings attributed are Aaraa(shining, arabic), 

Btw, some one gave here the meaning mountain man, which smacks of biblical dogma.
