Where do you find Kurds in the Arabic Gulf? My dear friend just because you could find Kurds all the way from Greece to Iran, this doesen´t mean they are simply a collective tribe for all warriors living in that area. If this is a indication for you that Kurds were only a "warrior caste" than what should we thing about the Greeks who were found all the way down to India? People move this is nothing unusual. But this doesent mean that they had no "core" tribe. I think Kurds were simply Gutians which absorbed time after time folks like, Hurrians-Mitanni, Scythians, Cimmerians, Medes, Balkanic tribes and also adopted languages of some of this People.
Note the Gutians were also known as Warriors.
He wrote "Levantine Arabs". He means the Lebanese.
No i don't think Kurds adopted language, but others adopted and unite with with Kurds,
like in rest of world,
alternate name of Kurds is Gorduanes, you know it,
all Iranian languages are connected with Fars (Farsi)
in case of Kurdish language many developed theories,
the most valuable is the 2
1 the Kurdish language is Parthian that stepped in Medean substructrum
2 the Kurdish language is a Georgian Iranian language that has nothing to do with Avestan and is link to Old Iranic, as spoken by Sassanides, (a Irano-scythian or Irano-Slavic Language)
the case of Gorduanes shows what I said, and if we connect with 1nd Linguistic theory gives a result that I believe is true,
Kurds are the Old Carduch Καρδουχοι which with time became phatrias of warrior caste,
Alan you know that, Zaratustra entered much later and is connected with that you read in Dienekes,
besides Linguistic theories link the Kurdish with North West Iran (exactly where Dienekes puts them)
On the other hand the 2nd theory which connects them with Balkans and Georgia gives words we find in Skudra like Gulla = lake
Surdi = warriors, guardians etc, these words are connected with a Thraco origin, but are connected with Iranic,
the 3rd theory which is an ancient greek connects Summerians with Subaru Su= Anatolian water, But places Qurtie in mountains around Gulla, Qurtie as word exist in Balto-slavic also and in Greek Qurtiee means either dancers, either goat breeders,
Alan you know exactly about the dances I speak about,
Kurites, choron Qurtie
