Usage notes
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.
According to Nor Baṙgirkʿ Haykazean Lezui post-classically also declined as genitive singular հաւոյ(hawoy), genitive plural հաւաց(hawacʻ) and ablative singular ի հաւէ(i hawē).
⇒ Old Georgian: ჰავით ზმნაჲ(havit zmnay, “fortune-telling using a chicken, bird”), ჰავის-ზმნაჲ(havis-zmnay, “sorcery, witchery”)
