Announcing a new mechanism of Magdalenian word
forming: lateral associations

DAI SAI NAI KAI LAI RAI PAI ZAI MAI TAI PhAI KhAI
--- a good Magdalenian camp, enjoy life therein

Provisional interpretations of the new words and their
inverse forms (will later be tested by means of the six
permutations of each new word)

DAI --- protected area, Magdalenian camp (explained
earlier), represented by rectangles on cave walls

SAI --- life and existence, to live and be (explained
earlier), represented by dots, lines of dots and fields
of dots on cave walls

NAI --- to find a site for a camp; ancient Greek naio
for I dwell, live, settle

Inverse IAN --- entrance of a camp; the Roman god
Janus personified a door, entrance, archway

KAI --- to make a good camp; ancient Greek kairos
for right measure, good proportion, favorable place,
right moment in time, good opportunity (...), kainos
for new (a new camp), kaio for I kindle, burn down
(to burn down bushes in order to get more building
space), kaino for I kill (snakes and other animals
one doesn't want in a camp, also a bear in a cave),
kaireos for well chained (surrounded and protected
by well interlinked thorn branches), kainymai for to
excel (in making a good camp)

Inverse IAK --- joy about a good and save camp;
ancient Greek iakkhazo for I cheer, exult, jubilate

LAI --- materials needed for building a camp; ancient
Greek laineos for out of stone, laingx for pebble, laismae
for a shield made of hides, laiphos for cloth (would have
been hides), lailaps for storm (fix everything well so that
a camp can withstand a storm), laimos for neck (give
special attention to the narrow and vulnerable entrance),
laitma for depth, especially of the sea (to dig ditches for
water, pits for cooking - a cooking pit was laid out with
a hide, filled with water, then food, then hot stones were
rolled into the pit, making the water simmer and boil)

Inverse IAL --- to gather materials, and to cover the
structures of a camp; ancient Greek iallo for I send,
send out (people to gather all kinds of materials),
stretch out (hides over poles, for walls and ceiling
of a hut), throw (pebbles and branches into a camp,
for further use there), throw at (clay at the basis of

pebbles, branches, twigs, leafs, dry grass, hides),
rhaizo for I relax (when the work is done)

Inverse IAR --- to consecrate a camp; ancient Greek
hieros for sacred ((in this case, hieros wouldn't be
a derivation of CER AS, as I proposed in the previous
message, CER AS would have become heros, hero)

Greek paizo for I play, joke, enjoy myself, dance, sing,
paidia for game, joke, entertainment, pais for child,

spending food, zeira for mantle (perhaps referring to
the hide laid out inside a cooking pit)

Inverse IAZ --- here I would expect a word for cooking,
didn't find one for the time being (have ancient Greek iz
for to sit, Latin iaceo for the rest, for example at a table
eating, but these words belong to the permutation IZA)

MAI --- zone of women; ancient Greek maimao for
I desire very much, maia for little mother, midwife,
Latin Maja or Majja for the Great Goddess

From the Magdalenian shaman to Herakles

CER --- divine stag, constellation of Sagittarius and Scorpio
as the antlers of the divine stag, rising on the sky in a summer
night, descending to the Underworld in a winter night / divine
hind-woman flanked by a pair of opposing ibices (midwinter
symbol according to Marie E.P. Koenig), rising on the sky
in a winter night, descending to the Underworld in a summer
night

CER CA or CER ACCA --- hind sky or hind earth-with-water
sky, divine hind licking animals into life, especially the moon
bull (see the hinds in the Altamira cave), primeval moon bull
present in the Hyads with Aldebaran in Taurus? CER CA or
CER ACCA origin of Hera?

CER AC --- stag earth-with-water, hind earth-with-water, title
of both of a he-shaman and she-shaman, became Herakles
who was both a man and a woman, see the bronze Herakles
from Shirakavan, Armenia (Gregory E. Areshian, "Herakles,
the Sun-God-Archer, Tyr, and Kerberos," Proceedings of the
Fifteenth Annual UCLA Conference, Los Angeles, November
7-8, 2003; Journal of Indo-European Monograph Series, No 49,
Institute for the Study of Man, Washington, DC, 2004)

CER PIR --- stag fire, divine stag protecting the entrance to
and exit from the Underworld with fires, became the hellhound
Kerberos guarding the Hades by means of his fiery breath

CER MAS --- stag chief, arch-shaman, represented by the
giant stag megaceros (two male animals and a female one
drawn in the Cougnac cave), may have stolen fire from the
CER PIR and given it to early humans, became Hermaes,
messenger of the gods, guider of souls, traveling all the way
from Mount Olympus to the Hades, also god of thieves

CER AC CLE --- became Herakles, whose labors may tell us
more about the Magdalenian shaman, verbal information may
be provided by the permutations of CEL (kel):

CEL --- divine stag (Sagittarius-Scorpio), divine hind-woman
(Orion) guiding the sun horse and moon bull along the sky,
from east to west, where they are visible, and along the river
in the Underwolrd, from west to east, where they are invisible;
ancient Greek keleutha for way, trajectory, path, keleuma for
order, command, call, keleuo for I drive, impel, charge, advice,
request, allow, *kel- for hidden

LEC --- the shaman observing the celestial bodies, a chosen
one, gifted in special ways, able to understand the heavenly
rhythms, compiling a lunisolar calendar, making use of it,
explaining it to aspriring shamans; ancient Greek lektos for
elected, sayable, lego for I gather, add, say, speak, lecture,
interpret, report, name, explain, request, lektikos for eloquent

aelectron for amber, and for the natural alloy of silver and gold,
golden solar disks from the Crimea

make loud noise, cry, bark, pronounce, announce, promulgate,
utter, say

SA CER --- downward stag/hind, primeval shaman born by
the divine hind-woman present in Orion? if so still visible in
Sirius. SA CER would have become Latin sacer for sacred

CER AS --- stag/hind upward, a worthy shaman ascending to
his heavenly abode in Sagittarius and Scorpio, to her heavenly
abode in Orion? became ancient Greek hieros for sacred, holy,
also heros for hero -- one duty of a shaman was to oppose bad
rulers, a heroic task, which is one of the reasons why Heracles
was worshipped as protector




DAM SAM, MAD MAS, DMA SMA, AMD AMS, ADM ASM,
MDA MSA --- how a group of Magdalenian hunters can
overcome a huge and strong animal such as a bison

DAM --- hunting a bison, how a group of Magdalenian
hunbters can overcome a bull; ancient Greek damazo for
I overcome

SAM --- to cooperate, work together; Sanskrit sam for
together, ancient Greek syn- sym-, German zusammen

MAD --- to learn how to hunt a bison in a common effort,
as a group; ancient Greek mathaema for learning, teaching,
experience, lesson, science, art

MAS --- chief bull hunter, the one who commands a hunting
expedition, leads the first and all deciding blow against a bull
that makes the poor beast raving mad - blind of rage - so the
others can atttack it from all sides and kill it in the process,
also the teacher of young hunters, wearing a bull mask,
behaving as a bull does while boys attack him with toy spears;
Latin mas for man, little man, virile, masculine, a word whose
origin is not yet known, so I propose my Magdalenian mas,
"small man" must refer to the size of the chief hunter applying
the first and all deciding blow to a huge bison, as in a drawing
in the cave Gabillou, where a small man meances the eye of
a huge bull in front of him with a spear, in the same cave
a drawing of a bullman thrown at with spears, in my opinion
the chief hunter playing the bison, teaching aspiring hunters

DMA --- knowledge of the anatomy and behavior of a bison;
ancient Greek demas for how a body is built (German Gestalt)

SMA --- to command a bison hunt, giving signals, leading
a group of bison hunters, being the one who applies the first
and all deciding blow; ancient Greek saemaino for I give a
signal, perhaps also English small, German schmal (narrow,
lanky), denoting the small chief hunter when compared with
the huge animal, or meaning the small weak spot and narrow
zone a chief hunter must attack in his first blow

AMD --- lacking the knowledge of a chief hunter, not really
knowing where and how to set an effective blow, being in
the group of hunters that come second; ancient Greek
amathaes for ignorant

AMS --- to overcome a bison in a common effort, when the
first blow had been applied by the chief hunter, attacking the
poor beast from all sides, in every which way; ancient Greek
amothei hamothei for out of everywhere, out of every direction

ADM --- fearless; ancient Greek adeimatos for fearless

ASM --- so very fearless that one can even sing, or, the
other way round, singing in order to overcome one's fear;
ancient Greek asmae for song

MDA --- to consider everything concerning a bull hunt;
ancient Greek medo for I think, care for, think out, give
orders, command, rule

MSA ---beeing guided by more than knowledge and skill,
deciding on the spur of the moment, led by intuition and
inspiration; ancient Greek Mousa for Muse, consider that
Odysseus, the one who tackled the seemingly untakable
stronghold of Troy, had been assisted by his muse Athena,
and Homer, who tells about Odysseus, calls up the muse
in his first line of the Odyssey: Andra moi ennepe, Mousa ...
