Abstract	:	This article reassesses orthographic and linguistic issues relating to Iranian usages of the word xiiaonain Avestan and later forms. It is suggested the word could have been picked up by the Avestan people and rendered into their language to serve as a discriminatory designation for a nearby group of enemies among the various Proto-Iranian folk.
