Cithra: "The precise meaning of this word in this context is unknown. It is traditionally translated as "seed", which in the sense of "prototype" carries the connotation of a particular physical form or appearance. But the word can also mean "seed" in the sense of a "race, stock", which Gavaevodata – as the primordial animal – is the apical ancestor of."

Thanks for the comprehensive list of resources! 

This root word I have incorporated into my username Arki-logos, and to me it means primal pattern or an accounting of origins or even first word.

 i'm also fond of its structural meaning as an arch which brings to mind a bridge over a gap between diverse places. It remains the same and does not move whether alone in the air, entertaining a lone explorer or supporting a mass exodus. It's purpose is to be trod upon and passed over.

Awesome and perfect and right, even in Archon as odering principle.

" Dobiel, also Dubbiel ("bear-god"), was the guardian angel of Ancient Persia.[1][2] According to the Talmud, Dobiel was also one of the special accusers of Israel, and once officiated in Heaven for 21 days as a proxy for Gabriel when the latter (over whom Dobiel scored a victory) was in temporary disgrace for taking pity on the Israelites when God was angry with them and convincing the Babylonians to drive them from Babylon rather than kill them.[3] [4]After coming to power in Heaven, Dobiel set about helping the Persian people at the expense of every other nation. The legend states that all of the 70 or 72 tutelary or guardian angels of nations (except Michael, protector of Israel) became corrupted through national bias.[5]

And to know ordering principle, speaks to me of reliability throughout all time. An pulse, a measure, a rhythm one can can pace oneself by. 

This brings remembrance of powers and principalities. Whereas principalities are as designated spaces, powers are as energies that inform spaces and propel matter into ever evolving forms.

Absolutely, totally right again, that is what those ideas tended to refer to in their original context and it connects very much to Greek Platonic thought and Gnosticism as well. Excellent posts! I'd love for anyone to explore these ideas and write about them here if possible.

" I don't think we can say there is such a thing as an original meaning for a concept, all is supplementary and constantly conjunct. "

Oh yeah good point below (and above), I just meant that the word Arch and Archon and related words seemed to have to do with organizing and ordering. Today the word is also used in things like "character arch" and "story arch" as well, so having a beginning, middle, and end like the appearance of a structure in time or object and even a rainbow or whatever. It has associations with the triangle and the number 3 like Zeus, Poseidon, Hades governing the three realms and governance and ordering. When I said "originally", I just meant to refer to what appear to be older associations or ideas apparently attached to the term and its use where ideas like Principalities and Powers mentioned by Paul of Tarsus may have also been somewhat influenced or how they were interpreted by those in the Greek linguistic framework.

So what is below the Arch in your following statement is explained above!
