Cyrus or Cyrus? Spelling the name correctly

Today, some people are thinking about the ancient name "Korush" of the Achaemenid Jahanshahi dynasty, that this name should be written as "Korush", not "Korush".. There are several documents for this claim.
Here, we will repeat the arguments that show that the spelling of this word in the Persian literature of yesterday and today was and is consistent with the transliteration of Sarshtin "Korush"..

Some people say about this, "We should adhere to the tradition of calligraphy and the Persian language, and therefore we should use Koresh's recording."
But it should be known, if we want to follow all the traditions of the past thousand years (Islamic period) We must adhere to what is mentioned in the Alexander Letters and also the absurdity of ancient Greece being the cradle and origin of knowledge and civilization.… also accept. On the other hand, as far as we know, most researchers from the third to the thirteenth lunar centuries were unable to read cuneiform and Pahlavi scripts, and only the chest-to-chest method was used in reading ancient vocabulary names.. Therefore, the adherence of the eyes and ears depending on the previous traditions alone cannot be considered a good guide to receive what is left in the hidden history..

In any case, in this regard, some have cited two types of recordings, Kuroš and Kuruš, and called the first type Kurush and the second one as Kurush.. So here we want to examine the spelling of these words; And before that, we remind you that although some people like the Persian recording of "Koresh", they never say that the spelling of this word can be read and spelled in other ways such as Koresh, Koresh and Korosh..

Some say, "Vocabulary like Koresh was forgotten in the Persian language for centuries…». Although this statement of his is not consistent with documents from Persian and Arabic texts as well as interpretations of the Qur'an; But anyway, because the way of using and reading this word was done only in the form of breast to breast and not the reading of ancient texts, therefore, the use of the form of "Koresh" in not so many texts of this kind cannot be considered as the natural process of passing a word in the heart. He knew his mother tongue.
Also, today, some consider the ancient pronunciation of the name "Korosh" to be unrelated to the recording of this name in the current Persian script. But it should be known that in modern Farsi, we still have words in which the vowel "o" is pronounced as "-o", such as khorsht (I got scratched)attack (Raid)Horrible (Ho-W-Lenak) And other than that.

However, this name is recorded in the same way as "Cyrus" in all other civilizations that were absorbed into the Achaemenid state.. Although in the Torah, we see it as "Korash" which is the Akkadian form (Derived from Elamite) It shows. Plutarch and Ctesias, the name of Cyrus is a modified form of "Khor-vash"(like the sun) have known. The Greek record of Cyrus is also in the form of "Korus", which the Romans recorded in the form of "Cyrus" with the Latin transliteration.. The same name became popular in European languages ​​and its French reading returned to Iran during the constitutional era. Therefore, this name, passing through Greek, Latin and French, became "Cyrus"(Not Cyrus) It became popular in modern Farsi.

On the other hand, in Persian calligraphy, a point called "visual weight of words" is also effective in choosing the shape and written form of a word.. This means that, at a glance, you can understand that writing the word "Korosh" is heavier and richer than writing this word as "Korosh"..

Persian literature has this feature in its poetry as well. In this way, a chame cannot have two parts that are not balanced and discordant from a phonetic point of view, or that its chord is bent to one side.. Although this topic comes back to the aesthetics and inner philosophy of the line itself, it is still an oriental feature and concept..
In the end, it is better for us, like our ancestors, to write Cyrus and read Cyrus.
