The words 'nairi' and 'nairian' are still used by armenians as poetic synonyms of the words 'armenia' and 'armenian'. Different versions of harsaneek, also originally a `mom' or candle dance, come from various parts of the east, as do many exquisite forms of the women's solo improvisational style known as `naz bar', or `grace dance', on which are based the choreographed movements of dances such as archka yerezanke.
