Some composites:

AC CA --- an expanse of land with water (ac)
sky (ca), possible name of Goebekli Tepe,
southeast Anatolia, Urfa region, north of the
Syrian Harran plain, 11 600 - 9 500 BP,

meaning earth and sky, the small vertical
bar meaning rain, falling from the sky and
filling the river beds; Latin aqua for water,
Indo-European akka for the earth goddess
(Pokorny)

CER MAS --- divine stag (cer) master (mas);
may have become Hermaes, messenger
of the gods, alter ego of Homer in the
Odyssey

CER PIR --- divine stag (cer) fire (pir), divine
stag protecting the western horizon where
the sun sets, and the eastern horizon where
the sun rises from; would have become
Cerberos guarding the Underworld with
fiery breath

CER AC CLE --- divine stag (cer) expanse
of land with water (ac) judge and protector

SHA CA UR --- ruler (sha) sky (ca) color (ur);
may have become Sseyr, Middle Helladic
name of Zeus (Derk Ohlenroth), and English
sky. Sky, in Shakespeare's time, meant cloud.
Clouds, one may say, rule the heavens. When
I pondered this idea last year I saw a big cloud
in the shape of the beautiful profile of a bearded
Greek god pass my window ...

CA UR MAS DAG --- sky (ca) color (ur) master
(mas) four (dag), ruler of the four (corners of
the) heavens; may have become the supreme

later of Upper Mesopotamia; may survive
in Isaac

SHA AC --- ruler (sha) expanse of land with
water (ac), a minor ruler; may have become
Jacques Jack Ja'aqob Jacob, also sagan
for the ruler of the province of Judah

AS RAA ) --- upward (as) ray of light (raa)
Lord (clicking L); may be the origin of Jacob's
ladder, the Lord on top of a sun ray, and would
have become Israel, Jacob's byname

DA PAD --- away from (da) activity of feet
(pad); may be the origin of David: delivered
from the paw of the lion, delivered from the
paw of the bear, delivered from the hand of
Goliath ... Consider the increasing size of
lion, cave bear, and towering warrior in arms.
David may be an archetypical name, much
as Arthur from ARC TYR, he who can take it
up with a cave bear.

Asia Minor may have been the place where
Magdalenian met Afro-Asiatic, Magdalenian
itself being an early northern branch of
Afro-Asiatic.
