Re: what is etymology? (linguistics and biology)

TON SON, NOT NOS, ONT ONS, TNO SNO, NTO NSO,
OTN OSN --- a case of six T-forms comparated in S-forms
(three earlier T-forms revised, given new meanings in the
light of the S-forms)


TON --- thunder, sound, voice (of a ruler, a shaman, coming
from a powerful or a divine source); ancient Greek tonos
for rope, chord, tone, tension, meter of a verse, Latin tono
for I thunder, make a very loud sound, speak with a booming
thundering voice, sing (of God), tonat for it thunders, Tonans
for Jupiter and Saturn as thunders gods, Jupiter Tonans,
tonitrus for thunder clap, French tonnère German Donner
for thunder, German Ton for sound, English tone

SON --- living being (of a high rank?); ancient Greek zoon
for living being, perhaps also German Sohn English son

NOT --- knowledge, to acquire knowledge via the senses
and experience, to observe, learn and know: Latin nosco
novi notum with about the same range of meanings

NOS --- mind, sound, feeling, heart; ancient Greek noos
for mind, reason, ratio, spirit, insight, way of thinking,
heart, feeling, opinion, wish, intention, will

ONT --- reality, the world as it is, knowing the world in
all its colors (consider the Celtic Salmon of Knowledge
of many colors); ancient Greek ontos for really, actually,
indeed, wherefrom ontology

ONS --- benefit from opinions based on reality; ancient
Greek onaesis for benefit, help, luck, blessing

TNO --- pondering reality, thinking, giving advice; ancient
Greek daenos for advice, thought

SNO --- to care for each other, to think out solutions to
problems in a common effort; ancient Greek synnoia for
care, synnomos for friend, husband (both words male
and female), synodos for gatherings where problems are
discussed, pondered, and solved (syn-forms)

NTO --- false, ignoring reality; ancient Greek nothos for
fake, not genuine

NOS --- insane, denying reality, also denying a beyond,
a reality transcending our present-day knowledge (source
of kookiness in academe: the mechanical laws were most
successful, ergo the cosmos is a clockwork, and nothing
else than a clockwork, animals are automata, nothing else
than automata, unable of feeling ...); ancient Greek nosos
for insanity (...)

OTN --- ear, to listen to the voice of people who know,
also to a divine inspiration within; ancient Greek otion
for ear

OSN --- request, prayer, to a ruler, a shaman, a divine
being: We listen to you, observe your words and laws,
we obey you, but now we are in trouble, serious troubles,
please help us, save us ...; ancient Greek osiae for divine
law, Oisin (Osheen) Ossian was the son of Fionn Finn
who ate the Salmon of Knowledge - "much larger than
a normal salmon and, on its shining skin, all the colours
of the rainbow seemed to dance and swirl" (Ian Zaczek) -
and was asked to save Tara from the goblin Aillen,
Hosanna Hosh(i)-ann-ah "save we pray"

Next time: the twelve permutations of D A M and S A M,
how a tribe of Magdalenian hunters can overcome a large
animal such as a bison. Only then: CER AC CLE became
Herakles (judge and protector)
