Conclusion: like Roman Male, Greek Male, and Celtic Male, Scythian Males are part of the S linguistic group. They are near the Source of it with 100% S. Scythian male culture begins at 44% with Saulius (a very Roman sounding name that would be available at the very beginning of Roman culture). Scythian male culture peaks at 33%, and drops back through 22%-11%.

Orion?
Greek:        S      O      E      A                    I                   N     R
Scythian:   S      A      U      I/C/H/L/R      N/E/T/Y       P     D/X
ORION: Adnap, Adeap, Adtap, Adyap, Axnap, Axeap, Axtap, Axyap.

So, if Orion is convertable to Scythian he could be named Ax-nap (oddly english as one who naps axe heads from stone), or Ax-tap (one who bangs axe heads together).
