Etymology
There are many theories regarding the origins of the Proto-Slavic word *ÄÑrtÑ.Ð. ФаÑмеÑ. ЧÑÑÑ ÐÑимологиÑеÑкий ÑловаÑÑ ÑÑÑÑкого ÑзÑка / пеÑ. и доп. Ð.Ð. ТÑÑбаÑева, под Ñед. Ð.Ð. ÐаÑина. â 2-е. â Ð.: ÐÑогÑеÑÑ, 1986 {{in lang|ru}} One is that it is a substantivized t-participle of [https:en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/ker- *ker-] (to cut, to chop), which could be derived from a chort imagined as being lame (having one leg shorter). The words like Ukrainian {{transliteration|uk|kutsyi}} and Czech and Slovak kusý are one of chort's most common epithets. According to another hypothesis, Proto-Slavic *ÄÑrtÑ represents a derivative of *Äersti / ÄÑrtÇ« âto draw a line, furrowâ. One way to interpret this derivation is reconstructing *ÄÑrtÑ as a supernatural Draughtsman in charge of determining human fate. Under this hypothesis, the original god of destiny came to be perceived as the bringer of death and then syncretised with the embodiment of all evil in the Christian tradition.I. Yakubovich. âThe Slavic Draughtsmanâ. Etymology and the European Lexicon. Proceedings of the 14th Fachtagung der Indogermanischen Gesellschaft, B. S. S. Hansen et al. (eds.), Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz, 2017, pp. 529â540. In Ukrainian, chorts are also known as {{transliteration|uk|haspyda}}, {{transliteration|uk|didko}}, {{transliteration|uk|irod}}, and {{transliteration|uk|kutsyi}}. The Polish version of the word, czart, is superficially similar to the Germanic swart, which means blackweblink | Title: Etymology of the wor swart | webpageweblink | date checked: 12 April 2022 {{in lang|en}}{{not in citation|date=December 2023}}In Czech and Slovak culture
In Czech and Slovak folk tales, Äert is not an evil character per se. It is often trying to tease characters in selling their souls in exchange for something (money, power, completion of a task). This often ends badly for evil or greedy characters, who are tricked into getting useless gifts and then are carried into hell. Other times, Äert changes roles from trickster to tricked as he loses a bet against a hero, who outsmarts him, winning his soul back. This way, Äert is often tricked to build castle walls in a day, dig fish ponds or even whole river banks, move large stones or create hills and mountains. Sometimes, a positive role of Äert is further emphasized, namely in modern or modernized folk tales. Äert is trying to bring evil characters to hell, he often helps or befriends heroes in this process and gives them various magical items and treasures.The true form of Äert is often a smallish hairy man with a tail, horns and one or two hoofs. But he is a shapeshifter and he tries to trick characters in his nicer forms, before they even realize what he is. In these forms, he is often represented as pretty young man, count, or huntsman (see The Devil and Kate). Often, this transformation is not (and cannot be) complete, so one can recognize Äert by small horns hidden in black curly hair, or a single hoofed leg hidden in high boots.Äert is not the devil, although they might have a lot in common. Sometimes, hell is full of Äerts and is ruled by the devil (or archdevil) Lucifer.In Turkic culture
In Turkic (usually neighboring Slavic) folklore its name is "Ãor" (Chor). In Anatolia known as "ÃorabaÅ" (Chorabash). Chors are spiritual creatures mentioned in the pre-Islamic texts and oral tradition who inhabit an unseen world in dimensions beyond the visible universe of humans. Influenced by the later influences of Islamic jinn and devils, folk narratives mentions that the Chors are made of fire, but also physical in nature, being able to interact physically with people and objects and likewise be acted upon. Like human beings, the Chor can also be good (Ak-çor, literally "White Chor"), evil (Kara-çor, "Black Chor"), or neutrally benevolent like humans. The exorcist is called "Ãoraman" (Choraman) in Anatolia. There are two different kinds of Chura: Arçura, that comes from the forest and is married to the Orman iyesi, and Biçura, that comes from the cellar and is married to Ev iyesi.See also
