"Stugabanut'yunner. saws 'seg, perch', sawsi 'ch'inar, bardi', [Etymologies: Armenian saws ‘magnificent, great’, Arm. sawsi ‘plane, poplar’]" by Armen Petrosyan from Լեզու և լեզվաբանություն [Language and Linguistics], (Erevan, 2018), 1, pp. 11-17, in 8 searchable pdf pages. Internet Archive has other works by the author, and a selection of works relating to Armenian linguistics. Uploaded by Robert Bedrosian.From the English resume: "Etymologies: Arm. saws ‘magnificent, great’, Arm. sawsi ‘plane, poplar’. According to tradition, one of the ancient Armenian mythic patriarchs was Anushavan Sawsanuer, whose epithet is interpreted as ‘Gift of the sawsi trees’ or ‘Given by the sawsi trees’. Mythological context shows that the sawsi trees were connected with the myth of the grandfather of Anushavan, the dying and resurrecting hero Ara the Handsome and his consort, the Assyrian queen Shamiram (Greek Semiramis). She in the myth is represented as the queen of the city of Nineveh and was an epicized version of the local goddess – Saus(k)a or Ishtar of Nineveh. Her ancient Hurrian name, Sausa ‘Great/gorgeous’, coincides with Arm. saws ‘magnificent, great’ (with a regular apocope). And the plane and/or poplar trees were the symbols of her myth."
