Most Arzali deities do not have proper names, reflecting a general lack of distinction between the deities and the phenomena they govern, as well as the highly {{wp|polysemy|polysemic}} nature of the Varshani language. For example, Arzali religious texts and incantations refer to the Sun God simply as "the Sun" (''Aq'') and the Death God simply as "Death" (''Nizčo''). | Most Arzali deities do not have proper names, reflecting a general lack of distinction between the deities and the phenomena they govern, as well as the highly {{wp|polysemy|polysemic}} nature of the Varshani language.

The destruction of the Arzalist Varshani state and the capture of the Zurg was a cataclysmic event for Orthodox Arzalism and opened a chaotic and still-unsettled chapter in the history of the religion. In addition to the prohibition and suppression of many of its core practices and institutions by the League of Nations occupation, the loss of state compulsion, and competitive pressure from Christian evangelism and secular nationalism, Arzalism now faces a moment of theological turmoil. | The destruction of the Arzalist Varshani state and the capture of the Zurg was a cataclysmic event for Orthodox Arzalism and opened a chaotic and still-unsettled chapter in the history of the religion.
