Part 52, for Trond Engen

CO OC LOP --- commander of a fort, gathering
information (co, acitivity of the mind) provided by the
guards who watch out (oc, eye) over the wall (lop);
origin of Cyclops. Consider for example the cyclopic
walls, and the round forteresses in the nation of cities
in the Transural. The cyclopes in Homer's Odyssey
are one-eyed giants living on mountains, their one
eye being the acropolis. The most famous Cyclops
is Polyphem who resembles more a wooded mountain
top than a man who eats bread. Polyphem symbolizes
Troy, and the travels of Odysseus are dreams: the hero
leaves Troy and comes to strange places which are
Troy, Troy in disguise and blended with other places
and periods of time. Co-oc-lop would also be the
origin of ancient Greek cyclops for circle, ring, eye,
ring wall (cyclopic wall), city wall, while the rump form
co-o( )-l( )- co-o-l may account for *kwel 'turn'
www.seshat.ch/home/cyclops.GIF This rendering
of the idea of co-oc-lop or cyclops would have
survived in the Eye of Argos, a similar symbol known
from the Argolis, emblem of a watchful confederation
of fortified dwellings including Tiryns and Mycenae

CO OC NOS --- the mind (nos) who watches out (oc)
and combines the information (co), ruler of a fort;
may survive in Latin cognosco and in the Greek rump
form (co o)cnos gnosis

CO OC --- to look (oc) attentively (co); might survive
in German gucken

OC CO --- looking (oc) reasoning (co); might be the
origin of ancient Greek ego (with omega) Latin ego,
while the common form of saying je in French and
I in English would have been humming Mm, preserved
in French moi and English me

AD TOR OC CO --- toward (ad) bull in motion (tor)
eye (oc) reason, attention (co, a bull fighter facing
the dangerous animal, later the bull leapers of
Crete (perhaps earlier on of Ebla), then for any
situation where humans meet with fate, have to
cope with a dreadful situation; Mycenaean atoroqo
for human being, also for woman (there have been
female bull leapers too) and for slave (many of the
formerly so proud Cretans became slaves under
the Mycenaeans). The word may also be present
in the genitive form of anaer for man, namely andros.
Consider the first line of Homer's Odyssey: Andra
moi ennepe, Mousa, polytropon, whose mala polla
- the first word of the epic denotes the hero who will
face terrible challenges, mala polla, many bad things,
but in the center of the line we find polytropon, he who
traveled widely, also well versed (Douglas G. Kilday),
so the very first line gives us the briefest possible
summary of the epic: a hero faces awful challenges,
but he will survive ...
