Torshkhoy (Ingush: Тӏоаршхой, romanized: Thoarshkhoy),[1][2] also known in Ingush folklore as Them-Thoarshkhoy (Ingush: ТӀем-Tӏоаршхой, lit. Torshkhoy-warriors),[3] is an Ingush clan (teip) which belongs to the Fyappin society.[4][5][6] The ancestral auls of Torshkhoy are Tyarsh[7] and Falkhan.[8] A small number of representatives of the teip live in Aukh, where they are known under the name Vyappiy.[9]

History

During the second half of 16th century when Ingush were returning back to Angusht,[10][11] the Torshkhoy were the first to settle in and built an eponymous aul Tarsh, named after the ancestral aul of Torshkhoy - Tyarsh (Ingush: Тӏаьрш). Subsequently, the Tarskaya valley (Ingush: Тӏаьрш-Аре) was named after the eponymous aul of Tarsh, which in Russian transcription became spelled as Tars, thus the name.[11]

In January 8 1811, foremen of 13 mountainous Kistin (Fyappin) villages including Tarsh (Tyarsh) made act of oath for the Russian Empire.[12] However it is worth saying that even after the oath of individual Ingush society or clans, the former Russian-Ingush relations remained the same. In fact, both sides took these type of oaths as a conclusion union treaties.[13]

The aul Tarsh in Tarskaya valley was also marked in various maps of 19th century as "Tarshoy-Yurt" or "Tarss".[note 1] According to A. N. Genko, the Fyappin-inhabited Tarshoy-Yurt shows the subordinate role of Fyappins in the colonization of the plains.[14] As of 1859, the ancestral aul of Tyarsh in mountainous Ingushetia was part of the Military-Ossetian Okrug as part of the Kistin (Fyappin) society and it had 47¼ households.[15]

In folklore

In 1961, according to the words of 95-year-old Murzabekov Abdul Bimurzievich, in the presence of 98-year-old Murzabekov Labzan Khunievich, 90-year-old Torshkhoev Murtsal Tosoltovich, the following legend was recorded:[16]

"From the village of Taarshi, where the Torshkhoevtsy lived, the Torshkhoevets Ferhast moved to the village of Falkhan with three sons: Akom, Tuokyom and Kot. At about the same time, in The Goyty, now called Beini, was inhabited by the Fyappin tribe, whose headman was Gam (or GӀam), so they were also called Gamians (GӀamank'an). This tribe was very warlike and well-armed, then everyone in that area was afraid of them, and the area was called so - Fyappinsky. The Fyappins tribe began to try to oust the Torshkhoevs from Falkhan, to prevent them in every possible way. Despite everything, the settlers resisted them, and when the Torshkhoev brothers had offspring, sons and grandchildren, when they became a strong tribe, a bloody conflict took place between them and Fyappi, which ended in the complete destruction of the Fyappins-Gamovites. Only those Fyappis survived who were away at the time. This victory cost the Torshkhoevites great losses, but they were determined to destroy those who were supposed to return from their departure. When the Gamovtsy, who were away, were returning, they were warned in Dzheirakh that all their brothers had been destroyed, but the Gamovtsy did not believe, saying that no one would dare to touch Fyappi, and continued on their way. They were repeatedly warned that the fate of their fellow tribesmen awaits them in Goyty. Gamovtsy began to doubt, and the youngest of them offered to go ahead of the detachment as a scout, and if he was attacked, the rest would retreat and survive. And so they did. Ahead, in the thickets, an ambush really awaited them, the scout was seized, dragged from his horse and killed. The rest of the Gamovites, seeing this, stepped back and left the village forever. Goyts left that region through Georgia to Turkey. Torshkhoevtsy began to live on the conquered land. The village of Goyty, due to the fact that many people died there, was renamed Beini (bein-death), and a little lower down the hillside those who died in that massacre were buried, later the village of Kasheti appeared next to that cemetery (kash-grave, kashmazh -cemetery), in which the owners of the territory, the Murzabekovs, the Shovkhalovs and the Mestoevs, allowed the Gambotovs to settle. From the three sons of Ferkhast Torshkhoev, the following surnames originated: Ak'a had 4 sons, but after the massacre with Fyappi, only one remained - Morkhazh, Morkhazh had 2 sons - Taybar and Mesto. From Mesto — Mestoevy. Taibara's son is Kortage, Kortazh's son is Kilashkhan, Kilashana's sons are Murzabek, Elmurza and Morhazh (younger). From Murzabek - Murzabekovs, lived in the village. Beini. From Elmurza - the Beinoevs (named from the village of Beini), lived in the village of Falkhan. Morhaj (Jr.) had a son, Arzhebar, from him - the Arzhebarievs, lived in Beini and Falhan. One of the sons of Mesto was Artsig, from him the Artsigovs lived in Beini. T'ok'a Ferkhastovich had 6 sons, four of them died in the war with the Fyappins, and Shovkhal and Dzarakh remained. From Shovkhal, the Shovkhalovs lived in Beini; from Dzarakh, the Dzarakhovs and Sampiyevs lived in Falkhan and Metskhal. From the third son of Ferkhast, Kot, came the Kotievs (not to be confused with the Kitievs - this is a different teip), the Kotievs also have the surname Khakievs, everyone lived in Metskhal. The Keligovs descended from Kelig, the orphaned son of Kilashkhan's sister, who took his nephew to himself, raised and raised him, and when Kelig matured, he stayed in Beini, where he built himself a tower. Before the war between the Torshkhoevs and the Fyappins, there were no stone towers in Goity (Beini), they began to be built by Toarshkhoy after that massacre: the Murzabekovs had 4 towers, the Shovkhalovs had 3 towers, the Mestoevs had 1 tower, and the Keligovs had 1 tower."
