Announcing a new mechanism of Magdalenian word
forming: lateral associations

DAI SAI NAI KAI LAI RAI PAI ZAI MAI TAI PhAI KhAI

who was both a man and a woman, see the bronze Herakles

more about the Magdalenian shaman, verbal information may
be provided by the permutations of CEL (kel):

(Orion) guiding the sun horse and moon bull along the sky,
from east to west, where they are visible, and along the river
