GYN NYG, NGY YGN, YNG GNY --- woman
MAN NAM, MNA ANM, NMA AMN --- man
Last year I gave GYN for woman, and MHAYN for
the right hand. This year I go for the permutations
of GYN, while simplifying mhayn to MAN.
GYN --- woman; ancient Greek gynae for woman
NYG --- night, time one spends with a woman,
when the woman has the say; ancient Greek nyx
for night, Nyx was a powerful goddess, alter ego
of Gaia, her priestesses gave oracles, Latin niger
for black (color of the night, nectar for something
sweet (a drink, a fragrance)
NGY --- pretty and clean; ancient Greek naegateos
for clean, splendid, nakae for fleece (a fleece one
wears for cloth, or a fleece one sleeps upon)
YGN --- hygiene; from Greek
YNG --- a pregnant woman; ancient Greek enegkein
for to bear, bring, aorist of phero for I bring, having
brought, a woman who has brought a child into the
world, then, so GYN may have been a woman in
general, but more specifically a bearing woman or
a mother
GNY --- child; ancient Greek gnaesios for legitimate
(child), genuine, true (consider the old saying of truth
being the child of time)
MAN --- hand, especially the right hand, pars pro toto
for a man; Latin manus for hand, English hand for
a helping hand, a worker
NAM --- name, someone worth being named and
remembered by a name; Latin nomen for name

ancient Greek anymi anuo with the same meanings
NMA --- to make rules; ancient Greek nomaion for

AMN --- to sacrifice; ancient Greek amnion for
the sacrifical bowl

PS. to my previous message: CIL was a provisional
camp in an abri, while KOD was a permanent camp.
The female given name Lucille might come from
LIC CIL, light / luck plus fire of a camp in an abri,
the shine of a fire of a camp in an abri, a pleasant
sight, welcoming a group of returning hunters
LIC CIL, CLI ILC, LCI ICL --- fire in an abri
Last year I gave LIC for light, luck. Now I had a look
at the permutations and can make it more precise:
LIC was the fire in an abri, a provisional camp used
by a hunting party:
LIC --- light, luck
CIL --- fire in a camp, used for cooking, for giving warm,
for warding off animals such as bears, light given by the
fire, the lucky feeling of having a good fire burning; Latin
culina for kitchen, English kiln. Last year I mentioned
French cil for eyelash - we may think of an upshooting
flame sengein the eyelashes (a well-known phenomenon
to those who make camp fires). If also English kill should
come from hypothetical CIL we may think of torches that
were used as weapons: poles of green wood whose
sharpened ends were coated with birch pitch; an array
of flaming spears would have frightened even a cave bear
CLI --- abri; ancient Greek klisia for hut, tent, shelter,
seat, group of guests, klitus for slope, hill, klino for I bend,
turn, ward off, lean on, sink down, sit or lie down at a table,
perf. to be situated, live, dwell, English cliff
ILC --- an abri lighted up by camp fires; ancient Greek
aelektor for shining
LCI --- a site of an abri, land around an abri; ancient Greek
laxis for a lot of land, laxeutos for hewn into stone or rock
ICL --- to choose an abri for camping; ancient Greek
eklaesis for choice (another ek-word, then)
