KAL LAK, KLA ALK, AKL LKA --- Underworld;

KAL --- cavity, cave, the Underworld traversed by the
sun horse and moon bull, also the Goddess, her womb

(many caves are found in hills), Latin calor for warmth and

Then we have German Hülle for cover and verhüllen for

Halle (spacious caves), English call, German Hall for
sound, hallen for to sound, resound (a resounding cave).
The word became most important with mining: ancient

miners, Gallia, Helvetii ... KAL once had a positive
meaning, yet with the labor of mining it turned into hell,
German Hölle (more later)

Part 18

Cernunnos on the silvar cauldron from Gundestrup wears
a stag antler and a torque; in his right hand he holds
another torque, and in his left hand a snake, whose head,
decorated with the antler of a ram, is close to his ear,
while the body of the animal performs a loop. The stag
symbolizes the shaman or shamaness, while the torque
may symbolize the trajectory of the sun. Serpent and
ram may be emanations of the divine stag as protector
of the sun horse. Relying on serpere as origin of serpens
I propose the following compounds for the times of the day:

CER PER --- snake protecting the sun horse in the later
morning; ancient Greek pera for beyond, serpere as origin
of Latin serpens for serpent, snake

CER REP --- snake protecting the sun horse in the
afternoon; ancient Greek repo for I bow, incline,
Latin reptilis for reptile

CER PRE --- snake protecting the rising sun horse of
the early morning; ancient Greek prepo for I shine, appear,
come forth

CER ERP --- snake protecting the sun horse in the
evening; ancient Greek herpo for I creep, sneak,
herpeton for a creeping animal

CER RPE --- snake protecting the sun horse in the zenith,
high on the sky at noon; ancient Greek ripae for cast, throw,
swing, flight (...), ripae ophtalmou for a moment in time

CER EPR --- snake protecting the sun horse in the center
of the Underworld, on midnight, when it needs most help
and protection; ancient Greek eparkeia for help, oparkeio
for I suffice, remain in force, protect, help, assist (...), Latin
servo for I protect

CER PRE --- early morning, 4 o'clock on June 21
CER PER --- later morning, 8 o'clock on June 21
CER PRE --- mid-day, 12 o'clock
CER REP --- afternoon, 16 o'clock on June 21
CER ERP --- evening, 20 o'clock on June 21
CER EPR --- midnight, 24 / 0 o'clock

The meeting ends of the torque would then symbolize
midnight, when the sun horse traverses the nadir and
needs most protection www.seshat.ch/home/torque.JPG

CER REC, CRE ERC, RCE ECR --- male and female
shamans

CER (ker) --- stag as emblem of a shaman or shamaness,
megaceros as emblem of an arch shaman or shamaness;
ancient Greek keras for horn, French cerf for stag.
The Celtic Lord of Animals Cernunnos wore stag antlers,
also recent shamans in Siberie wore stag antlers when
performing a cer-emony (another potential derivative)

REC --- activities of a shaman; ancient Greek rhezo for
I do, make

CRE --- to rule; ancient Greek kreion for ruler

ERC --- precinct of a shaman; ancient Greek herkos for
hedge (...)

RCE --- root; ancient Greek rhizo for root

CER (ker) --- constellation of the divine stag, summer
constellations of Sagittarius and Scorpio seen as antlers,
in the rotunda of Lascaux the stags between the pair of
opposing bulls:www.seshat.ch/home/menhir6e.JPG
www.seshat.ch/home/cer.JPG The divine stag ensures
the journey of the sun horse and moon bull across the
sky and through the caverns of the Underworld, and he
protects the entrance to and the exit from the ground
by means of fires that become visible in an evening red
or a morning red, furthermore he ensures the passage
of a worthy soul to the heavenly abode in the Milky Way

CER (ker) --- constellation of the divine hind-woman,
alternative name E-:B, winter constellation of Orion,
whose sides are formed by a pair of opposing ibices
(midwinter symbol according to Marie E.P. König),
by their heads and horns
www.seshat.ch/home/menhjr89.JPG
www.seshat.ch/home/cer.JPG The divine hind CER
or E-:B licks animals into life, out of cracks in the rock,
see the beautiful large hind in the Altamira cave,
licking the horns of a small bison under her, and the
small head of another hind on a ledge, her tongue
formed by a vertial crack in the rock
www.seshat.ch/home/hind1.JPG
www.seshat.ch/home/hind2.JPG The many bisons
in the Altamira cave are moon bulls, or rather lunations,
periods of 30 29 30 29 30 29 30 29 30 ... days or nights,
time for the people of Altamira

SA CER --- downward (sa) divine hind-woman (cer),

from above, perhaps the region of Sirius under Orion;
Latin sacer English sacred

CER AS --- shaman (cer) upward (as), a worthy soul
reaching a heavenly abode in the Milky Way; ancient
Greek hieros for sacred, holy. A shaman had many
tasks, for example teaching aspiring rulers, giving
advice to rulers, and also to oppose bad rulers.
The latter required courage, and so CER AS might
also have become Greek heros English hero

The Summer Triangle may have been the heavenly
abode of a worthy ruler, Sagittarius and Scorpio may
have been the heavenly abode of a worthy shaman,
Orion may have been the heavenly abode of a worthy
shamaness. Aldebaran may have been the young moon
bull waiting to go on his heavenly journey, and Sirius
may have been the place where young shamans and
shamanesses waited to go on their missions on earth,
among humans.
