The word (root) 'अर्' 'ar' / 'ari' in Sanskrit stands for obstacles, danger, weapon, ' ॐ ण मो अ रि ह न्ता ण म्' >' Om Namo ari-hantANaM' is a sacred famous Jain-mantra, a prayer to Tirthankar (their Preceptor) : meaning 'I bow before the One who protects us from obstacles / dangers in spiritual growth'. There is a similar prayer in upanishad : अवतु  माम्  >avatu mAm ... May He (Lord) protect us. 'ar' becomes 'ari' : meaning enemy. One meaning of Arya is : One who has many an obstacles. 'ar' means 'astram' / 'अस्त्रम् ' meaning 'arm', so the hand between shoulder and palm is called 'arm' 'Armenian' are people with 'arms'. Likewise Persians with 'parashu' -meaning 'wood-ax' (which became Fasci-symbol because their ˈfæʃɪzəm symbol of ax). Like-wise Scythian have their scythe. ('सो ' >'so' in Sanskrit means to cut with a sickle, scythe > अवसाय  >awasAya > to kill, अवसान  > awasAna > finish,व्यवसाय >  vyavasAya > to save / preserve / grow. kha-chakra in Sanskrit means the whole sky with all celestial bodies, Zodiac, Eagle / Falcon means Garuda who is the Lord of the sky. The spirit of Eagle is supposed to reign the Zodiac. I interpreted this way ! 'nR' / 'नृ ' in Sanskrit means human, which gives rise to nRptA नृप्ता  /  grand-son, nephew, natal, niece, nuptial, nepotism,nature, nation, nationalist > Nazi Germany and the Third Reich (German: Drittes Reich) Reich > 'race' > 'ऋषि ' 'Rishi' ...Thus goes the legend.
