        and the large and powerful aquatic birds that seek out weeds and feed on moss—the swan, duck, and goose, and many other numberless coveys of birds, terrestrial or aquatic.
Usage notes edit

In contrast with the generic term թռչուն (tʻṙčʻun, “bird, any living thing which flies”), հաւ (haw) has a more complex, although smaller, semantic range which primarily includes birds which are useful to men.

Etymology 3 edit

The origin is uncertain. Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *p(e)h₂w- (“end, edge”) and cognate with Ancient Greek παύω (paúō, “to stop”), παῦσις (paûsis, “pause”), Albanian fashë (“tranquillity, calm”) and Old Armenian ագի (agi, “tail”).
