- Translation by Robert W. Thomson
- 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.
- այլ եւ զջրասուզակ մամռախնդիր խօզակեր մեծանձունք եւ յաղթամարմինք հաւքն, փորն եւ թանձրն եւ սագն, եւ կամ այլ բազում եւ անհամար ցամաքայնոցն եւ ջրայնոցն ջոկք թռչնոցն։
Usage notes
In contrast with the generic term թռչուն (tʿṙčʿun, “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
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”).
