Obviously, running away and fearing are the most closely related
notions.
Therefore, the starting ur-word for fleeing and fearing (or better
flinching) was BELGON (Bel /sun god/ + GON /drive, move, go/); Belgon
derived later to Balkan/ Vulkan and VALJANJE (wallow, Gr. βαλλω I
throw; hence ballistics; Serb. OBALITI throw an object down the coast
/Serb. OBALA coast/). Above mentioned VALJANJE (BALJANJE, wallow,
waltz) is the one form of the basis BELGON; the other one is the Serb.
POGON (propulsion, from POLAŽENJE, POLAZAK, POLAZ outset, beginning,
Lat. PULSE), Greek βαγόνι, Eng. wagen, Eng. BEGIN.
Next time:
What is the relation among the Greek βαγόνι, English WAGON, BEGIN
and Serbian POGON and POČETAK (begining)?
Let us begin from the beginning? Probably, there is no one (not even
Harlan!) who would have ever supposed that English BEGINNING and
Serbian POČETAK (beginning) originated from the same BELGON womb. The
Serbian verb POČETI has the form POČNI in imperative mood. This
POČNI is the same word as the word POGON (propulsion, drive), where
the velar K has been palatalised to Č (POGON => POKNI => POČNI; Č =
CH). Clearer relation between BEGIN and POČNI could be seen if we
used Serbian noun POČINJANJE (the same meaning as POČETAK -
beginning). In this case, a duplicated GON is well visible in both
words, Serbian POČINJANJE and English BEGINNING, following the BEL
syllable (BEL-GON-GON).
