[edit] Comment
The correct name is Astghik means star in armenian. The sun god is Artavazd take a look at http://www.tacentral.com/mythology.asp?story_no=2 Vartanm 22:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yep, Vartan's right, Astghik is the correct name. Move of this page would be best. - Fedayee 23:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- I buy what you say, but she is also named "Astlik" in many sources (example). I will put it into the article also. --Roberth Edberg 07:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- I have no problem with Astlik. Lets just make sure the article doesn't get deleted. Vartanm 09:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

This sentence is unclear, and it should be rewritten. I don't know what it means, just that there are two differnet PIE roots, *ster for star, and *ausos for Aurora, etc. But the explanation is just confusing and clumsy. (gh corresponds to gh?):
The gh sound in astgh (and in Astghik) corresponds to gh rather than to r, hence, the Armenian word astgh seems to be linked with the Latin stella group rather that with the Semitic Istar.

Astlik and Astghik are one and the same. In early Armenian, what is now pronounced -gh- was a dark-l sound. Think for example of ekeghetsi 'church', which corresponds to ecclesias, a word of Greek origin. Greek Kalak, Armenian Kaghak, etc. In the conventional transliteration of Classical Armenian, Astlik is used (with a diagonal bar on the l), but Astghik or Astghig would be the Modern Eastern and Modern Western transliterations respectively. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.148.191 (talk) 04:37, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Also, Astghik could still be from Ishtar, if there was folk etymology involved. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.148.191 (talk) 04:39, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
