Unsourced material on Corduene
The problem here is your desire to add "Another theory is that it was an Assyrian region based the influence and presence of the (Assyrian) Church of the East and the region having it's name from the Assyrian-Akkadian region Bet-Qardu. " without providing a source. Another theory? Who said so? What source supports it? Is the source reliable? Please stop adding this material until you find a reliable, secondary source that supports it. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 03:39, 16 January 2024 (UTC)


 * The Islamic term of Cudi is actually a corrupted version from the Akkadian name Qardu. In Akkadian Qardu meant brave. Yes, this is an academic theory, it has more solid evidence than the other theories mentioned. The fact that it is QRDO also debunks the theory that it forms a base for etymology of the Iranic root of KRD. QRDO has Semetic origins and can be found in the Peshitta (i.e the Syriac Bible).

Etheridge,  The Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan Ben Uzziel: with the fragments of the JerusalemTargumfromtheChaldee  vol.2,NewYork,1968,p.50;Seealso TheAramaicBible . vol. 6,  The Targum Onkelos to Genesis, trans., critical introduction, notes by B. Grossfeld,Edinburgh, 1988, p. 56. The Aramaic of this Targum presents a mixture of the Westernand Eastern features which has given rise to several opinions about its place of origin. According to Edward M. Cook (see his ‘A New Perspective on the Language of Onqelosand Jonathan’, in D.R.G. Beattie and M.J. McNamara (eds),  The Aramaic Bible. Targums intheir Historical Context  , Journal for the Study of the Old Testament, Supplement Series166, Sheeld, 1994, pp. 142–157), the language of the Targum Onqelos  derives from a ‘Cen-tral Aramaic’ dialect tradition, which developed in the Northern Mesopotamia and Syria.However, Bernard Grossfeld states, that it received its nal form in Babylon (see  The Ara-maic Bible , Introduction, pp. 10–11 and 32–35); it is attested that in matters of the Flood,the  Targum Onqelos  reects the Babylonian tradition (see Stone ‘Mount Ararat and the Ark’).
