First of all you have to define what is slave. This is very important point actually. There is one old Chinese story which tells that mouse afraid  from cat, everyone knows why, then cat from the dog, the dog from the man, the man from the wind, the wind from the castle and castle from the mouse. So it could be rephrase according to today's reality that everyone is slave to another one. Actually t is very hard to enslave someone if doesn't want it. The world is not so simple....
Everybody listen only this which understands.

This was the reason why the slave trade was so big in the 18th and 19th centuries. Warring African tribes were given guns by the Europeans in return for prisoners

The only thing that comes to mind is what Arthur Robin has pointed out: that Varna could be related to Varuna who if I'm not mistaken was associated with the ocean.

To add to this I think the place name Buner (in Pakistan) might be derived from Varuna.

Actually after WW-II German POW's, were treated as "slaves", if not in the USA, but in other places. Thus a former associate of mine, who stated that he was a form NAZI fighter pilot, told me that after the war he was designated to replace the son of an English family via his working for the Mother and Father of the lost son, who died fighting the Germans.

As I remember this man named "Hans", was required to work for and replace a son of an English family for a period of two or more years, before he could be released to return to Germany!

If this was not a form of slavery, I don't know what is?

VaRuNa=Varuna=Enslaved-Slavish-Productive hand-managment is offered-proposed by&in&with Varuna.
Enslaved-Slavish-Productive hand-administration offers-proposes Varuna.
NOTE:Cause slave is product second meaning of this syllable is product.Productive hand sounds
softly as expressive form!"Labor markets" were those places in ancient times!

(No offense but) I did not say or mean that Varna and Varuna were connected, I said that the topic seemed to be about 2 different things varna (colour/castes), and, varena (one of the 16 lands [and also word heaven/sky in Iranian myth (compare sky/water deity Uranus/Varuna?*)]).
Btw the "Thereupon came Angra Mainyu, who is all death, and he counter-created abnormal issues in women40, and barbarian oppression41." parallels Genesis "Adam's rule vs Eve's desire", and women pain in childbirth (& periods).
4 cornered-fortress sounds abit like tetrapolis of Nimrod? or like the Ark of Noah (Peter's vessel in Acts, varuna's clay house in Indian, Yima's var in Iranian)?* or 4 castes?
Dailam/Tabaristan/Gilan sounds abit like Dilmun/Sabit/Gilgamesh??
*Dravidian Varuna is perhaps a bit like Noah?

could Ran(g)ha the 16th of the 16 lands created by AM be Lanka? (or Drangiana??) rather than Assyria? Though maybe not since some spellings are abit different, and the land seems to have been cooler etc?

i'm not sure whether the identification of the lands with Iran provinces is right or not.

for 4 cornered Varena (& 16 [4x4] lands?):
4: cornered Varena (14th of 16 lands AM); 4 rivers Eden, 4 corners/winds Heaven [varena], 4 corners/quarters/compass points/cardinal points Earth,
4 corner sheet vessel Peter in Acts [~Ark?], tetraoplis Nimrod , 4 castes/colours (varna) India, 4 beasts/metals Daniel, 4 ages Ovid, 4 suns Aztec,
[4 heads Brahma?]; Varamin 4 cornered fort/castle; Tabaristan roughly quadrilateral; 4 races Egypt (rot namu tamahu nahsu); 4 lands neighbouring Airyana Vaejo (Tur/Toz, Salm/Sayrima, Saini, Dahi);

for 7/5 rivers:
5 rivers Punjab; 5 clans Vedic; 5 peaks meru? zoroaster 5th gen? 5 zones globe; 5 lands Airyana Vaejo & 4 neighbouring;
7 rivers Egypt/Sind; 7 karshvars; 7 castesEgypt; 7 climate zones, 7 stages/spheres ziggurats;

for 16 lands:
8 Nagus Babylonian map? 8 vasus;
16 (4men x 4races) Egypt; 16 lands Ahura M & [16] plagues Angra M; 16/32 compass points
17 provinces Mari
18 signs zodiac Sumerian

I thought Varena/Varn/Varenem might possibly connect with Van (Urartu) but doesn't look like it after checking.
Bara-min means "(created) kinds" in Biblical hebrew.
4 cornered Varena could be Atlantis (large rectangular plain; Varuna is regent of west; varena/varuna heaven / ocean/Poseidon, Urani/Uranes/Wernes/Amenti/Pet), or Shinar/Sumeria (their world was rectangualr plain), or China (earth square)?
Might make more sense as a land/nation/compass point than just a city/fort?

Not sure if Aryana-vaejo & 4 neighbour lands could be Eden & 4 rivers/lands? (d/r interchange?) Or the land and river sounds abit like Aeria & Tritonis?

A nice post Arthur! Good show!

But, I would rather go back in this series of postings to mention the word "Aryan!", and then the backsliding into "race!" Yes I know that in the last couple of centuries it has taken hold as a "skin colour" problem! But, was it originally that way?

I posit, that skin color had little to do with it! In the olden days of the 13th to the 17th century CE, that it seems people were identified via their dress! Thus certain trades-people, were easily identified via the manner of their dress, the colors, the hats, the shoes, etc.!

And I also posit, that religious groups were also identified via the same process. It is well known that Roman Catholics had various bands of "brothers" and "sisters" who defined their status via their apparel!

Thus some wore "white" some "black and white" some "black", etc.! Many of them were also identified via their caps/hats or headwear!

Thus, I posit that the word "Aryan" is a religious term, that described the attire of the member, rather than the skin color!

That is, those represented as "Aryans" were really of a religious group called, as we all well know, "ARIANS!", and "Arianism!"

Check it out!

Ron

Well that last post(s) of mine was only about one of the 2 rightly or wrongly confounded topics in this thread, where was land Varena/"Varamin" of the 16 lands, not other the Varna &/or Arya/Dasyu one. (The only connection i can see are the names/words Varna/Varena and the 4 cornered / 4 castes/colours.) [ps I wonder if sughdhas & shudra & shutu are related?]
The other (4) varna/castes / (2) Aryan/Dasyu / race / slavery topic is too controversial & difficult/uncertain for me to offer any thing much.
Many cultures had (3) classes/castes/estates (& occupations (& guilds)) like the Indian 4/3 varna/castes.
Sometimes classes are based on conduct/merit/moral/behaviour/ability/character, sometimes "blood/breeding", sometimes they are injust inequalities/discrimination/slavery/race/skin ("adam's rule" / "barbarian oppresion"?). (Golding's 'Lord of the Flies' also has 4 types. 4 classical humours?)
Many cultures/groups seem to of had "good & evil / in & out" "spiritual"/cultural/religious/racial (2) "types/seeds". (So its not just clothing/dress.)
On one hand they may be earlier and later waves/groups.
As far as i understand it the "race/ethnic" was only an issue to some cultures because societies must have a certain amount of common cohesion/integration/unity not just diversity/differences, and races like individuals are all different in inner not just outer (& not just skin) traits (just different not superior/inferior), and to preserve not destroy biodiversity & identity. (Tho it may also connect with the "gods" theories and go back to the sons of god & daughters of men.)
There has been divisions/wars/etc ever since the Fall and Babel (racism, sexism, etc), and christianity re-harmonises our diversity/nations within God/Jesus / common/unity/love/balance (as this system tries to do).

just thought whether land Varena/Varn/Varenem might connect with suvarnagotra/su-v'arNa-gotra/su-fa-la-na-chli-ta-lo/su-fa-la-na-chu-ta-lo/su-fa-la-nu-kiu-tha-lo/suvarnabhumi "(western) land of women/land of gold/family of gold/golden family/golden clan/golden race/golden matriarchy/amazonian kingdom/matriarchal kingdom" (ladakh) identified by some with Agartha/Agarthi [~ Shambhala?]

there is also "savarna gotra". only 1st 3 castes have gotras/lineages. communities which belong to 4 varna/castes are called savarna.
