„The Scythians were called by the Assyrians Ashkuza or Ishkuza (Aš-k/gu-za-ai); as with the Gimmiri, this word also appears to have found its way into the Old Testament; one of Gomer's (Gimmiri) three sons, in Genesis I.X.3, is called Ashkenaz, which has given us the modern Hebrew word, Ashkenazi … it is noteworthy that the other Jewish racial designation, Saphardic, has also a strong Iranian association; it derives from the Lydio/Persian word Spherda/Sparda, i.e., the Greek Sardis.”
