Re: what is etymology? (linguistics and biology)

DAI SAI, IAD IAS; IDA ISA, ADI ASI; DIA SIA, AID AIS

DAI --- protected area; ancient Greek tegos for roof,
ceiling, chamber, room, German Dach French toit for
roof, French dais for canopy. DAI may be represented
by rectangles, "signes tectiformes" in the terminology
of Michel Lorblanchet

SAI --- life; ancient Greek zoae for life, life span, way
of life, maintenance, wealth, what one got. SAI may be
represented by lines and fields of dots, blown and spat
on the wall the way Michel Lorblanchet demonstrated
when copying a panel from Pech-Merle (Aurigniacian-
Périgordian). Lorblanchet says that breath and warm
spittle added a magic quality to a painting, gave it life.
Moreover, spittle has an antiseptic effect, animals lick
their wounds, and shamans may have chewed some
herbs and used their spittle for a medicine in order to
heal someone, maintain and prolong a life. SAI may
be of an onomatopoetic origin, imitating the sound of
spitting - either color on a wall, or a medicine on the
skin; hunting accidents and injuries therefrom must
have been rather frequent

IAD --- healer; ancient Greek iataer for medicine,
iatreuo for I am a doctor

IAS --- healing; ancient Greek iasos for healing

IDA --- glad, for example when a cure helps; female
given name Ida from a Germanic word meaning happy

ISA --- free, healed from an illness, made whole again,
being well and functioning, equal to the other members
of a tribe; ancient Greek _is_ for sinew, muscle, nerf,
strength, power, isazo for to make equal, isagoria for
the equal right of speech, for equal rights in general,
civil freedom

ADI --- noble, wealthy; female given name Ada from
a Germanic word meaning noble

ASI --- honor, dignity; ancient Greek axia for dignity,
reputation, authority

DIA --- through, seeing through, finding the true origin
of an illness; ancient Greek dia for through, diagnosis

SIA --- to live well and in good health; ancient Greek
zaeo for I live, am still living, am leading a life, am
able to maintain my life, am neither weak nor feeble,
have my strength, live on, flourish

AID --- origin, to help and heal by finding the origin of
an illness; ancient Greek aitia for origin, reason ...,
English etiology / aetiology for the study of the causes
of diseases, French aider for to help

AIS --- fate; ancient Greek aisa for fate

I explained the D-words in a previous message, now
I added S-words as comparatives. Note the inverses
among the new S-forms. They have again related
meanings, for example IAS and SAI ...

S-form as comparative of D-form, PAD PAS ...

Recently I found Magdalenian LAS for mountain; ancient
Greek laas for stone, rock, cliff. Last year I found LAD
for slope, hill; English ladder. LAD LAS -- hill mountain?
May the S-form be a comparative of the D-form? Let us
look at the inverse forms DAL and LAS. Last year I found
DAL for valley; German Tal for valley. This year I found
SAL for sea; ancient Greek salos for swaying, especially
of the sea. DAL SAL, a valley between hills and mountain
ranges, at the ground a river and swamps, and SAL for
the sea, perhaps also for a lake -- surely a comparative.

Recently I found CUM for a group of Magdalenian hunters,
MUC for a bison or bull, MAS for the chief hunter, master
hunter, leader and teacher of a CUM. If the S-Form MAS
were a comparative, the D-form MAD ('A' pronounced the
Latin or Italian way, not the English way) was at the base
of the word, and evokes ancient Greek mathaema for
learning, teaching, science ... The MAS was also the
teacher of a CUM, as explained in a previous message,
so MAD may have been the word for a pupil of a MAS.
The inverse DAM evokes ancient Greek damazo for
I overcome, so DAM may be the word for to learn how
to cooperate, how to overcome such a strong animal
as a bull by means of a well coordinated effort, while
the comparative SAM means to actually cooperate in
an enterprise, a word that became Indo-European sam,
ancient Greek sym- syn-, known in many composites,
for example symphony, synergy.

Recently I found PAS for everywhere: here, south and
north of me, east and west of me. If the S-form should
be a comparative, the basic form PAD may designate
the activity of the feet, go, and be of an onomatopoetic
origin: pad pad pad pad -- you can hear an Aurigniacian
pad along the clay bank of the river Rhone. PAD survives
in many words, French patte, German Pfote, English paw,
also in paddle, an artificial paw used to pad along a water
way. The inverse DAP may then designate an activity of
the hands, to handle, make, capture, seize, form, make,
and it would survive in French tapper, German tappen,
English tap, to tap.

PAS became ancient Greek pas pan for all, everywhere,
also penta for five (here, and in the S N E W of me). The
inverse SAP designates seven places (here, in the S N
E W, underneath and above me) and became the root of
seven Sieben septem sept sette ..., also of ancient Greek
sophia for knowledge of the world, wisdom, philosophy,
Latin sapere for to know. If DAP means to handle, the
manual skills, SAP as comparative means the knowledge
required to handle things, and the knowledge we acquire
by handling them.

Next time more comparative forms: DAI SAI, IAD IAS,
IDA ISA, ADI ASI, DIA SIA, AID AIS



Magdalenian traces in Minoan

Some of my Magdalenian words have an onomatopoetic
origin, for example MUC for bull or bison, MU- (pronounced
moo) for the lowing, ending -C for the massive and compact
body of the animal, as in PAC for horse, and PIC for game,
deer, ibex, boar.

By the end of the Magdalenium some tribes may have
wandered eastward, and arrived in southeastern Anatolia,
where they may have founded Goebekli Tepe, in use from
11 600 to 9 500 BP. Pillar 2 shows a proud bull, while
a bucranium is found on a narrow side of pillar 31,
one of the central pillars of the oval D.

Agriculture started some 10,000 years ago at the base
of the Karacadag east of Goebekli Tepe (where the oldest
forms of emmer had been detected by means of genetic
screening), and was fully developed in the Syrian Harran
plain just south of Goebekli Tepe in around 9 000 BP.

Haran / Harran is a famous place in the Bible. Abraham
went to Haran when he left Ur. Jacob was headed for
Haran. Not so far southwest of Harran is Aleppo, and
some fourty kilometers south of Aleppo Tell Mardukh,
Ebla, Minuth in the Bible, where the best wheat came
from. A tablet of Ebla shows a Minotaur among other
figures.

Cyrus H. Gordon identified Minoan, the language behind
the Linear A tablets of Crete, as a north-west semitic
language. Jan Best followed him. Also Walther Hinz,
who succeeded in translating the Linear A clay tablet
Hagia Triada 95 from an archive in the palace of Hagia
Triada in the fertile Mesara plain in southern Crete. One
side mentions Adu (Baal), the other side Dadumatha
(the one loved by Baal). The two sides give instructions
as to the sort and amount of cereals to be given to the
priests and priestesses of Adu and Dadumatha. Both
get their share of MI NU THE, fine wheat from Minuth
or Ebla in Syria. I had a closer look at the three signs
MI NU THE --- MI is represented by the head of a bull,
NU by a bull leaper, a visual pun, showing him standing
on the feet hands feet hands feet ..., THE by a Tree of
Life, a common symbol in Asia Minor. So the Minoans,
famous for their bull leaping sport, and Minuth in the
Bible, or Ebla, may be related to each other, and this
means the Mionans came from Syria, found a new
home in Crete, where they got in contact with Egyptian
hieroglyphs and developed a new form of writing, first
hieroglyphic, then Linear A, then Linear B. The name
in question can be found in all three versions (for more
information look up my thread on the Linear A tablet
Hagia Triada 95).

Hypothetical Magdalenian MUC may have survived in
Goebekli Tepe, then it would have become MUC Myc
My- Mi- in Minoan Crete, and MUC Myc- in Mykeane.
There is a beautiful bull head in Crete, and a similar one,
presumably by a Minoan artist, from a tomb at Mycenae,
which fortress may then have been the stronghold of the
Zeus bull ...
