Some legal concepts, as evidenced by the early grabar (ancient Armenian), later appeared with shifts in meaning, narrowing or expanding, often also moving away from the original meaning, as we have in the case of the word "ojit" ("dowry"), which originally meant a gift brought by the bridegroom to the bride, and later he became an inheritance from his father's house, brought by the bride. We fixed the author's new use of the word GITHWORN (githwor, Guilty), since the grabar (ancient Armenian) dictionaries do not testify, and Grachya Acharyan in "Armenian root dictionary" mentions only the use of Grigor Tatevatsi in the ". According to the author, the word "apaharzan" is a legal concept that has lost its force in its time.
