Part 58

REO GEN --- to flow, river (reo) three days and nights
of the young moon, later anything that comes into being
(gen, genesis), rain filling caverns and river beds,
making springs well up and rivers flow; German Regen
English rain

KA in the language of the dwellers of the Blombos cave
in South Africa, Middle Stone Age, 75 000 BC, would
have meant: sky, beyond, what is out of the human reach,
inside rock (source of life, animals coming out of and
disappearing into rock in the rock art of southern Africa
and in cave art of Europe), inside a well, deep inside
ourselves, accessible only to a shaman in a trance ...
This KA would have become CA for sky and KAL for
the Underworld. KAL has many derivatives, ancient
Greek kallos for beautiful (a beautiful cave), khalkos
for copper (an ore found in mines), Helen as goddess
of Dawn (Michael Janda) emerging from the Underworld
(once the sun horse emerging from the ground and
climbing the sky), Helen as symbol of tin in Homer's
Odyssey (there is a whole family of metals: Helen stays
for tin, her glittering long robe she made herself for
the tin ore cassiterite, her thread for tin thread, by then
cut out of hammered foil; her husband xanthos Menelaos
for copper, the color xanthos covering all hues of copper
ore, yellow, brown, red; their daughter, lovely Hermione
who resembles golden Aphrodite for bronze, of a golden
shine when freshly cast; a slave woman and mistress
of Menelaos for aurichalcit, a natural alloy of copper
and zinc, zinc in enslaved form, so to say; their son
strong late come Megapenthes for brass, a stronger
alloy than bronze, arriving late in the family of early
metals). Helen was the cause of the Trojan war: tin
was rare and precious, it came either from the Ore
Mountains in Middle Europe, or from Central Asia,
and was in either case bound to pass Troy, where
the Trojans laid hands on it ... KAL for the Underworld
is also present in Hellenes, in keltoi Celts Helvetii
Gallia, and with the labor of mining and the horrors
of the wars caused by metals (Helen / tin as cause
of the Trojan war) the beautiful Underwolrd KAL
turned into a hell, German Hölle ...
