The connection of Ar with high mountains is more forced
and is connected to the biblical character Aaron, elder brother of Moses.

The root H2_r "mountain" is attested in Greek oros "mountain"
the adjectival formation *ar-jo is obvious and simple.
The connection with Aaron is *yours* and worthless.

On the other hand, the meaning high born is not economical. It is more
social in nature and by the time this meaning is ascribed, the Varna/caste
system has become more of a social order from an economic division of
labour.
You are wrong in saying that brahmins have overlorded every one. Can I say
that IT people in India today are overlording to enjoy at the expense of
every one else????
