Appendix to the glossary of the new Magdalenian words,
part 13, the supreme Greeks gods and goddesses
CA NOS --- mind (nos) of the sky (ca); possible origin
of Chaos, god of the universe in its primordeal state
AAR RAA NOS --- mind (nos) of the airy and luminous one
(aar raa), evoked by the limestone rings at Göbekli Tepe:
place them on a wall, look through them at the sky, and you
can see the face of the god ex negativo, composed of air
and light; possible origin of Ouranos, Greek god of the sky
CA AC --- sky (ca) earth (ac); possible origin of Gaia,
husband of Ouranos. The inverse form ac-ca would have
survived in akka, the Indo-European earth goddess, and
in Latin aqua for water - water that falls from the sky
and fills the river beds on earth
CRE NOS --- ruling (cre) mind (nos); possible origin of
Kronos, equivalent of sa-tyr-nos, mind (nos) of the one
who overcomes, in the double sense of rule and give
(tyr) from above (sa), Saturnus, Saturn
REO --- to flow, river, wave, water in motion; possible
origin of Rhea, consort of Kronos
TYR --- he who overcomes; possible origin of Zeus:
Sseyr (Middle Helladic, Derk Ohlenroth), Sseys (Doric)
Zeys or Zeus (Homer), would also have been the origin
of the words theos deus Dis ... (earlier on I derived
Sseyr Zeus from sha ca ur, ruler of the colored sky,
the new explanation via tyr is much simpler and better)
CER --- divine stag, hind or hind-woman, also shaman
or shamaness; possible origin of Hera, consort of Zeus.
The divine hind licked moon bulls into life, the moon bulls
representing lunations, periods of 30 29 30 29 30 ... days
or nights (Altamira cave). A reminder of this may be seen
in the cow-eyed Hera. Zeus was also a bull, and so, one
may assume, Hera was originally not his wife but his
midwife - or the Vinca civilization that preceeded the
Greek civilization -, and this may explain why she plays
a minor role in Homer

Just keeping my thread alive for next year, and a thought
about rating in the sciences. Rate the following statement:
Americans landed on the moon
1 google : false
2 google : improbable
3 google : don't know
4 google : probable
5 google : true
The above statement is either false or true, so we can make
it simpler:
0 google : wrong
1 google : right
A majority of people all over the world consider the Apollo
mission a Hollywood swindle, so a Google poll would end
that hype. Then we can rate evolution. Sixty percent of
the US Americans reject evolution while sixty percent of
the Swiss accept evolution - same percentage, but as the
Americans outnumber the Swiss by far, it will be: goodbye
evolution. Then we shall finish off with the nonsense of
Einstein's relativity theory. And so on. Finally we rate
religions, and everybody joins the winning branch of
the winning religion ...
Appendix to the glossary of the new Magdalenian words,
part 12 -- EON and permutations, a late Magdalenian
or Azilian group of words?
ONE --- a raft on a river bank or shore, where it gets
loaded and unloaded; Latin onero for I load, fill
ENO --- a raft on the river or the sea; Latin eno for
I leave the shore
EON --- the river bank is near, also land in sight;
ancient Greek aeion for shore, coast, river bank
NOE --- no landing place in sight, also no land in sight;
Latin noemus for nullus, nothing
NEO --- to swim; ancient Greek neo for I swim
OEN --- being alone on the water; Old Latin oenus
for unus, the only one, alone
You may remember the triple goddess Brigid:
PIR GID --- fir (pir) giver (gid)
BIR GID --- fur (bir) giver (gid)
BRI GID --- fertility (bri) giver (gid)
Now let us combine BRI for fertile with EON for river
bank and shore. The vowels I and EO ask for a ligation:
BRI - t - EON --- fertile (bri) river bank or shore (eon)
This could have been the origin of many Brit-places,
for example a river valley in Germany, and mainly of
Britain and Brittany, while the derivation of Britannia
from Celtic Pritani for painted people, people covered
in tattoos, would have been a second meaning, a later
explanation eclipsing the first one that had gone lost.
Britain and Brittany would then mean: fertile shore.
What about the female given name Britney? It may be
explained via BRI for fertile and GNE for the nine days
or nights of the full moon: BRI GNE Bri-t-ney. If so, the
name compares the womb of a pregant woman with
the round form of the full moon, and the nine days of
the full moon with the nine months of a pregnancy.
Appendix to the glossary of the new Magdalenian words,
part 11 -- DhAG and permutations, words around the
meme of good
DhAG --- able; the supreme Celtic god was called Dagda,
the good one in the sense of the able one
GADh --- good; English good German gut, also English
god, German Gott
AGDh --- noble; ancient Greek agathos for good, noble,
brave, valiant, apt, fit
DhGA --- honorable; ancient Greek doxa for reputation,
honor, fame, splendor, glory, majesty
ADhG --- of integrity; ancient Greek aethicos English
ethics ethical (good in the moral sense)
GDhA --- joyous; ancient Greek gathosynae for joy
This might have been a permutation group of the Azilian
period of time, roughly covering the era of Göbekli Tepe,
11 600 - 9 500 BP. DhAG for able would survive in fox,
German Dachs for badger, dachshund, dog, German
Dogge for Great Dane, mastiff, Bulldogge for English
bulldog. Dogs were domesticated in the era of Göbekli
Tepe, they were most able as hunters and protectors,
and they might well have been used for protecting the
large emmer fields at the base of the Karacadag east
of Göbekli Tepe. In a wall made of stones local farmers
gathered was found the head of a limestone sculpture
showing a predator, possibly a wolf. If it means a wolf,
the head is in life-size. Four temples of Göbekli Tepe
have been unearthed until now, at least fifteen more are
waiting to see the light again. One of the four temples
is dedicated to lions. The central pillars of temple B are
decorated with a pair of leaping foxes in life-size. We
may well expect many more surprises from that most
fascinating archaeological site, perhaps a wolf temple,
celebrating the domestication of that animal? One word
more on the foxes on the central pillars of temple B.
I guess they have a symbolical meaning as guiders of
the sun through the Underworld by night. Also they are
able, they do what no one else can. One fox is male,
the other female, so they can have offspring that will
ensure the help the sun needs by night, traversing
Earth. Both foxes are leaping, which may symbolize
the reappearance of the sun in the morning, furthermore
the reappearance of the soul of a deceased ruler on
the sky, In the ancient world, dogs had the function of
psychopompoi, guiders of the soul through the Underworld,
a journey of seventy days or nights in ancient Egypt, where
the shakal god Anubis served as god of embalming. Dogs
have been worshipped in early times, and so they were
named with a word from the permutation group around
the meme of good: DhAG for able. They have even been
raised in the status of minor gods. Kerberos guarded the
Underworld, replacing the divine stag CER of Magdalenian
times, protector of the sun and guard of the entrances to
the Underworld KEL. The followers of Zarathustra believe
that dogs can find out whether the soul of a seemingly
deceased person has really left the body, or lingers on.
Dogs have abilities we humans lack. They are able,
and they were most useful in early times. Klaus Schmidt
considers Göbekli Tepe the mythological "mountain"
where the gods and goddesses of the Mesopotamian
pantheon came from. This pantheon would have included
animals such as foxes, lions, wolf / dogs, and many more
animals, among them a variety of birds -- living beings
with abilities we humans lack.
