    Abstract
This article reassesses orthographic and linguistic issues relating to Iranian usages of the word xiiaona-in 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.
