Glossary of the new Magdalenian words, more figurative
compounds, part 4

CA ISA --- sky (ca) restored (isa, a word belonging to
the important permutation group of sai for life, existence),
Dawn, the brightening sky, coming to life again; Indo-
European goddess of the Dawn *H2ausos who became
Eos, Persephone / Brimo, Aphrodite 'who flashes up in
the foam of the sea', and Helen in Greek mythology,
Usas in the Rig Veda (Michael Janda)

CA ISA CA BAL --- sky (ca) restored (isa) sky (ca) hot
(bal), full name or title of the red sun horse rising above
the horizon in the rotunda in the Lascaux cave, bringing
dawn on the midsummer morning ... The sun horse
emerges from the Underworld KAL, and this would have
been the mythological origin of Persephone / Brimo,
and the linguistic origin of Helen (kal hel-). In Homer's
Odyssey, Helen is a symbol of tin, her glittering robes
are a symbol of the tin ore cassiterite; her husband
xanthos Menelaos is a symbol of copper, the color
xanthos covering all hues of copper ores, yellow,
brown, red; their daughter, lovely Hermione who
resembles golden Aphrodite, is a symbol of bronze,
alloy of copper and tin, of a golden shine when
freshly cast; Menelaos and his mistress are a symbol
of aurichalcit, a natural alloy of copper and tinc -
Homer calls the mistress a slave woman, appropriate
for tinc in "enslaved" form; their son, strong late-come
Megapenthes, is a symbol of brass, stronger than
bronze, and arriving late into the "family" of metals.
Ores are found in the ground wich belongs to the
realm of the Underworld KAL. metals are melting
in very hot fires that were associated with the fiery
sun traversing the Underworld by night, and the
shine of polished metals was then compared with
the shine of the sky early in the morning, Dawn:
Helios d'anarouse, lipeo perikalla limnaen, ouranon
es polykhalkon (Odyssey, begin of book 3), Helios,
the sun as a young man standing in a chariot drawn
by four horses, leaves the beautiful bays and climbs
the sky of many ores ... KAL for the Underworld may
be present in kallos and perikalla for beautiful, in
Helen as goddess of the Dawn, and in Homer's
beautiful Helen as symbol of the precious tin, a metal
needed for casting bronze (Mycenaean bronze
contained much more tin than modern bronze, 12 or
even 15 per cent); tin came from the Ore Mountain
in Middle Europe and from Central Asia, it was bound
to pass Troy, which led to a series of incidents and
conflicts we know as the Trojan War. KAL may also
be present in the name of the keltoi or Celts, who
were miners, and in Helvetia, the alternative name
of Switzerland, perhaps coming from KAL PAD 'those
who go (pad) down into the ground (kal) for mining
metals'. KAL once had a positive meaning, yet with
the labor of mining it became our Hell. Magdalenian
mythology and cosmology was not abandoned in
the era of farming and mining, but it was transformed
and modified according to the intellecutal needs of
a new era.

Glossary of the new Magdalenian words, more figurative
compounds, part 3

SA PAD AAR --- downward (sa) go (pad) air (aar),
what goes down from the air, namely rain; Savitar,
husband of Sarasvati, goddess of the Milky Way,
heavenly abode of worthy souls. Poseidon must have
been a heavenly god in the origin, since Doric Poteidas
is close to Varuna's title pati- danunas 'lord of the water'
(Michael Janda), so we may link Poseidon with Savitar
and thus make him a consort of Sarasvati: her realm
was the heavenly river of the Milky Way, his realm
were the rivers on earth, filled with waters from above.

Now for the sun horse, old compounds from two years
ago, re-evaluated:

CA LAB --- sky (ca) cold (lab), winter sun horse,
visualized as the descending horses in a niche
at the rear of the axial gallery of the Lascaux cave;
origin of gallop, one may also consider German
Klepper for an old and tired horse

CA BEL --- sky (ca) warm (bel), spring sun horse,
visualized as the lovely "Chinese" horses in the
axial gallery of the Lascaux cave; cabel (c)abel
abelios afelios haelios - ancient Greek for sun,
ca(b)el cael sael sol - Latin sol for sun, cabel
ca(b)el cael sael sulia surya - Vedic for sun

CA BAL --- sky (ca) hot (bal), summer sun horse,
visualized as red horse rising from the horizon
in the rotunda of the Lascaux cave, Latin caballus
Italian cavallo Spanish caballo French cheval
for horse

Ancient Greek haelios, Latin sol, and Vedic surya
for sun are derived from the PIE stem *saH2ul,
in different ways, namely *saH2ueliio- *sH2uol
*suH2liio. I think CA BEL and the PIE stem *saH2ul
are well compatible, considering the dozen millennia
in between.

an expanse of land with water (ac) sky (ca),

somewhere, rain falling from the sky onto the earth;

SA AAR RAA AS --- downward (sa) air (aar) light (raa)
upward (as), a long figurative compound denoting

abode of worthy souls (Michael Witzel, Michael Janda)

While Poseidon follows the rivers on earth, realm
of the living people, Sarasvati follows the heavenly
river of the Milky Way, abode of the souls of worthy
ancestors.

Glossary of the new Magdalenian words, more figurative
compounds, part 1

ACCA --- earth (ac) sky (ca), where earth and sky are
meeting (possible original name of Göbekli Tepe, written
as a lying H); Indo-European earth goddess akka
(a stammered name according to Pokorny, a meaningful
name in my opinion), Latin aqua for water, several Swiss
rivers are called Aa, Romantsch aua for water, German
Au or Aue for a wide river landscape

AD DA --- toward (ad) from (da), a river flowing toward
the sea, coming from the mountains; English water

AS SA --- upward (as) downward (sa), vapors, smoke
of a sacrificial fire and prayers for rain ascending to the
sky, rain falling from the sky, irrigating the fields and
filling the river beds; German Wasser for water

All three figurative compounds AC CA and AD DA and
AS SA would denote water, water in motion, moving
between earth and sky, and moving on earth, flowing
from one to another place ...

SA AS might have become Latin sax- for rock, while
the original form might have survived in the village
name of Saas Fee in the Swiss Alps.

AC CA AS might be a figurative compound designating
the sun horse moving between earth (ac) and sky (ca)
in upward direction (as), wherefrom *ekwos equus 'horse'.

PAC AS might be the horse (pac) in upward direction (as),
origin of the winged horse Pegasos, while the inverse form
AS PAC might have become Old Indic as'vah for horse.

PAD AD DA --- he who goes (pad, activity of feet) toward
(ad) coming from (da), he who follows rivers; Doric Poteidas,
oldest version of Poseidon, lord of the water (Michael Janda)

PAD AD DA, PAS TON --- he who follows rivers, getting
everywhere (pas) and making himself heard (ton);
Poteidas Poseidaon Poseidon
