Arya (ar'ya), . [Skt. Arya: see Aryan.'} Same 
as A r i/i i a. 
But besides these Aryat there were also the Dasyus, 
of whom we learn little but that they were dark in com- 
plexion and constantly at war with the Aryat.

Aryan (ar'yau or ar'ian), a. and n. [Also writ- 
ten Arian, after L. Arianus, belonging ioAriana 
or Aria, Gr. 'Apeia, 'Apia, or "Apia, the eastern part 
of ancient Persia, < Skt. Arya, the name by which 
the Sanskrit-speaking immigrants into India 
called themselves, in distinction from the abo- 
rigines of the country, whom they called Danyii, 
Sudra, etc. The ancient Persians gave them- 
selves the same title (OPers. Ariya, Zend Ai- 
rya) ; and it appears in the name of their coun- 
try, Airyana or Iran : see Iranie. There are no 
traces of the word to be found outside of these 
two races. Its oiigin is obscure and disputed ; 
there is no probability that it lias anything to 
do with a root 'ar, plow.] I. a. Of or pertain- 
ing to the Aryans or to their speech. See II. 
Our faith, our customs, our language, were all but frag- 
ments of the primitive Aryan stock common to Rome and 
Germany. E. A. Freeman, Amer. Lects., p. 118. 
II, n. 1. A member of the eastern or Asiatic 
division of the Indo-European family, occupy- 
ing the territories between Mesopotamia and 
the Bay of Bengal, in the two subdivisions of 
Persia, or Iran, and India. (This is the older, more 
scientific, and still widely current use of the word. More 
recent, but increasingly popular, is the second use.] 
2. An Indo-European or Indo-Gennan or Ja- 
phetite ; a member of that section of the hu- 
man race which includes the Hindus and Irani- 
ans (Persians) as its eastern or Asiatic division, 
and the Greeks, Italians, Celts, Slavonians, and 
Germans or Teutons as its western or Euro- 
pean division. The languages of all these branches 
or groups of peoples are akin ; that is to say, they are de- 
scendants of one original tongue, once spoken in a limited 
locality by a single community, but where or when it is 
impossible to say. 
Many words still live in India and England that have 
witnessed the first separation of the northern and south- 
ern Aryans, and these are witnesses not to be shaken by 
any cross-examination. The terms for God, for house, for 
father, mother, son, daughter, for dog and cow, for heart 
and tears, for axe and tree, identical in all the Indo-Euro- 
pean idioms, are like the watchwords of soldiers. We 
challenge the seeming stranger ; and whether he answer 
with the lips of a Greek, a German, or an Indian, we rec- 
ognize him as one of ourselves. There was a time when 
the ancestors of the Celts, the Germans, the Slavonians, 
the Greeks and Italians, the Persians and Hindus, were 
living together beneath the same roof, separate from the 
ancestors of the Semitic and Turanian races. M ax Milller. 
Aryandic (ar-yan'dik), a. Originating with 
Aryandes, Persian satrap of Egypt, condemned 
to death by Darius for coining silver finer than

as 1 (az), adv., con/., and proii. [< ME. as, one,

alswd, ealswd, eal swa (= OS. aho = OFries. 
as, ase, ana, ah, alse, also = D. ate = OHG. 
also, MHG. also, alse, G. also, als), lit. ' all so,' 
wholly so, quite so, just so, being the demon- 
strative adv. so, qualified by the intensive adv. 
all. As a demonstrative, the word retains its 
full form (see also) ; as a relative or correlative, 
the word, through weakening of force and ac- 
cent, has been reduced to as. As is thus his- 
torically *o with an absorbed intensive, whose 
force has disappeared; and it has all the rela- 
tional uses of ,vo, the differences being only idio- 
matical. The peculiar form and uses of as have 
arisen out of the correlation so ... so (AS. sica 
. . . swa, or, without separation, swa swa), in 
which both terms were orig. demonstrative. 
The second term passed into the relative use, 
and the first, remaining demonstrative, was 
strengthened by the adv. all (AS. eal sica . . . 
swa). The second term, as a relative, became 
weak in accent, and, after assuming the prefix 
all in conformity to the first, was gradually re- 
duced, through also, alse, als, ase, to as, to which, 
in turn, the first term in many constructions 
conformed. The resulting correlations .to ... 
so, so ... as, as ... .so, a* ... as, through 
involution of uses, transposition of clauses, and 
ellipsis of one or the other term, extending often 
to the whole clause, present in mod. E. a com- 
plication of constructions which cannot be fully 
exhibited except at great length, and in con- 
nection with the earlier uses. They are also in- 
volved with the kindred correlations such . . . 
as (such being historically so, with an absorbed 
relational suffix) and same . . . as, in which 
the relative conj. as varies with that, and leads 
to the use of as as a simple relative pronoun.] 
I. adv. (demonstrative or antecedent). The ante- 
cedent in the correlation as ... so, or as ... 
as: In that degree; to that extent; so far. The 
correlation as . . . so is obsolete ; o . . . as is in ex- 
tremely common use, being, besides like, the regular for- 
mula of comparison to express likeness or equality : as, as 
black as jet, as cold as ice, as wise as Solomon, etc. ; the 
verb in the relative clause, when the same as in the prin- 
cipal clause, being usually omitted : as, it is as cold .t 
ice (sc. is) ; come as soon as you can (sc. come). 
He was al so [var. afttn, als, as] fresche as is the moneth 
of Mai. Chaucer, Gen. Prol. to C. T., 1. 92.

In wommen ben ! for ay as bisy as bees 
Ben they, vs sely men for to deceyve.

We [Americans] use these words [faith and hope] as if 
they were an obsolete as Selah and Amen. 
Emerson, Man the Reformer. 
The relative clause is often omitted, especially in collo- 
quial speech, being inferred from the antecedent: as, this 
will do as well (sc. as that) ; I would as lief walk (sc. as 
ride). 
The bad man shall attend as bad a master. 
Fletcher, Wife for a Month, v. 3. 
I will be temperate 
In speaking, and as just in hearing. 
Beau, ami Fl., Philaster, iv. 3. 
These scruples to many perhaps seem pretended, to 
others, upon as good grounds, may seem real. 
Milton, Eikonoklastes, xi. 
The appointment of a regular wit has long ceased to be 
a part of the economy of a morning paper. Editors find 
their own jokes, or do as well without them. 
Lamb, Newspapers 35 Years Ago. 
II. conj. (conjunctive or relative adv.). 1. The 
consequent in the correlations as . . . as, so 
. . . as, such . . . as, same . . . as, etc., ex- 
pressing quantity, degree, proportion, manner, 
etc. The relative uses are as exhibited in I. (where see 
examples). Through ellipsis of the antecedent, it enters 
into many peculiar idiomatic phrases. 
No, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church- 
door ; but 'tis enough, 'twill serve. 
Shak., R. and J., iii. 1. 
His resolutions were as fained as his vows were frus- 
trate. Milton, Eikonoklastes, xxv.

As it is in particular persons, so it is in nations. 
Bacon, Atheism. 
The antecedent as is often, and so is usually, omitted : as, 
black as jet ; cold as ice ; do as you like.

It is in criticism, as in all other Sciences and Specula-

In parenthetical clauses involving a concession, the rela- 
tive aj* (the antecedent being omitted) may be equivalent 
to though : as, late as it was, we set forth on our journey. 
Trite as the counsel was, ... in this emergency it was 
to me as if an angel had spoken. 
Lamb, Alnicus Redivivus. 
Neither the arguments nor entreaties of his friends, 
backed as they were by the avowed wishes of his sover- 
eign, could overcome his scruples. 
Prescott, Ferd. and Isa., ii. 5. 
In parenthetical clauses involving a contrast or negation 
as to fact with the principal clause, as approaches an ad- 
versative sense, being nearly equivalent to Intt. 
Had I but time, (as this fell sergeant, Death, 
Is strict in his arrest,) O, I could tell you, 
But let it be. Shak., Hamlet, v. 2. 
I must confess I lov'd her ; a* who would not? 
Fletcher, Loyal Subject, v. 7. 
In subordinate clauses involving a supposition, as is con- 
ditional, being equivalent to at if, as though, which are 
the ordinary forms. This use is now rare or only poetical 
except in the independent phrase as it were. (See phrases 
below.) 
It lifted up its head, and did address 
Itself to motion, like as it would speak. 
Shak., Hamlet, 1. 2. 
And all at once their breath drew in, 
As they were drinking all. 
Coleridge, Ancient Mariner, 1. 166. 
The young lambs bound 
As to the tabor's sound. 
Wordsworth, Intimations of Immortality. 
The clause introduced by as may be reduced by ellipsis of 
its verb and other elements to one or two important words, 
leaving as as a quasi-connective : (a) Between an adverb 
or adverbial phrase in the principal clause and an adverb 
or adverbial phrase constituting the subordinate clause. 
It suffices me to say . . . that men here, as elsewhere, 
are indisposed to innovation. Emerson, Lit. Ethics. 
(6) Between the principal verb or its subject and the sub- 
ordinate subject or object, which becomes equivalent to a 
predicate appositive or factitive object after the principal
