Torshkhoy

''Torshkhoy'' (), also known in Ingush folklore as ''Them-Thoarshkhoy'' (, ''Torshkhoy-warriors''), is an Ingush clan (''teip'') which belongs to the Fyappin society. The ancestral auls of Torshkhoy are Tyarsh and Falkhan. A small number of representatives of the ''teip'' live in Aukh, where they are known under the name '' Vyappiy''.

History

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

On January 8, 1811, foremen of 13 mountainous Kistin (Fyappin) villages including Tarsh (Tyarsh) made act of oath for the Russian Empire. 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 types of oaths as a conclusion
union treaties.

The aul Tarsh in Tarskaya valley was also marked in various maps of 19th century as "Tarshoy-Yurt" or "Tarss". According to A. N. Genko, the Fyappin-inhabited Tarshoy-Yurt shows the subordinate role of Fyappins in the colonization of the plains. 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. (referring to Список населённых местностей Военно-осетинского округа 1859 г." (РГВИА. Ф. 13454. ОП. 15. Д. 202. Л. 101—111)).
