Hor(u)s is a well known eagle/falcon-headed divinity of Egyptian
religion. It is the reason why there are very similar words for eagle
(falcon, crane) in different languages and language groups: Serb. orao/
oro eagle; Akk. erû, urinnu; Proto-Semitic *garan; Arab. garan- eagle;
Aram. kuwrkyā crane; Gr. ιέραξ, κίρκος falcon; γέρᾰνος crane. On
the other side is Slavic god Hors who represents the sun that grows
smaller as the days become shorter - towards the winter solstice - and
the day after when the sun dies. The 21st of December, when the day is
the shortest on the Northern Hemisphere, is celebrated by the pagan
Slavs as the day when the so-called "black god" is most potent - and
that celabration is known as Korochun (Karačun, Kračun).
Vasmer believes that Korochun (Hun. karácsony and Rom. crãciun /
Christmas/ - Slavic loanword) is related to the Slavic verb
'koračati' (pace, stride, step, march, walk; Bul. крача; Serb.
koračiti, kročiti; Cz. kráčet; Up.Sorb. kročić) although there is no
such word in Russian and some other East Slavic languages.
Nevertheless, it seems more plausible that the Slavic verb
'kratiti' (shorten) was the "creator" of Korochun (Serb. s-kraćen;
Russ. сокращать, укорачивать /shorten/, сокращение /abbreviation/;
Bul. кратък /short/, съкращение /abbreviation/; Serb. kraćenje /
abbreviation, shortened/; Cz. zkrácený /abbreviated, shortened/.
Vasmer also added that Korochun couldn't be derived from the word
'short' (kratiti, kraćenje) because it is (allegedly) phonetically
impossible, since all the Slavic languages have the sound "č" in
Kračun (Korochun, Karachun).
Nevertheless, the above "striding-shortening dilemma" might be totally
insignificant if new that the source of both those words (koračanje
striding/walking, kraćenje shortening) was the ancient Hor-Gon basis.
The one of the most important words for the farther development of
human speech is the word CIRCLE (Serbo-Slavic KRUG, Greek KRIKOS
κρίκος; ὁρίζων; Latin circus; O.E. HRING), because the biggest part
of the "kinetic" and "urban" IE vocabulary has been based on that word
(CIRCUS).
Let us now compare the two English words, stride and stretch, with the
Serbian korak (pace) and iskorak (stride). What these words have in
common? Is Serbian 'krenuti' (start, set off, run) related to English
'run'? What to say about Serbian trag (trace) and English trace? Or
Slavic trg (market) and English trade? What is the relation between
Russian дорога/daroga (road) and English track? Is the Serbian word
strana (side; Russ. сторона side, странный strange) related to English
strange?
In order to really understand the relation among the above-mentioned
words, we must follow the primal philosophy of "circle", profoundly
established by the first "piping-up-man" conscious verbiage. For
instance, Serbian iskorak (stride) means just one (long) step forward
and it is understood as a step out(1) of a circle (Serb. iz kruga out
of the circle). It shows that the ancient man envisaged his natural
environment in forms of circle [thence the words as Serbian kraj and
okrug (area; Russ. край) and Latin regio (region; Gr. ἰρών], as well
as he understood that all physical and mental processes are a sort of
"circulation" (Lat. curriculum a running contest; Serb. trka race;
kret-anje movement; trkali/šte raceground; k => t sound change; cf.
Serbian kretanje movement) => trčanje running).
The development of IE languages has been much simpler than anyone has
ever imagined. Namely, if we know the "source", from which the IE
words has been generated, we can "calculate" the exact "trajectory" of
any single word that can be found in any of the IE vocabularies. For
example, any above average educated man (linguists included) would
have just waved off impatiently if he had been told that the English
word searching is derived from the same ur-basis as the Serbian noun
traženje (searching). Of course, if they were in a position to
understand that English search is derived from the Latin word circus
(circle; OFr cerchier) and that Serbian traženje (searching) also came
from kruženje (circulation; Serb. krug circle), then they would
certainly be less mistrustful towards the "teaching" of the HSF Xur-
Bel-Gon "theory".
DV
Now, I do expect that a certain AAEI (above average educated
individuum) is going to ask me, what eagle, crane and kirkos (falcon)
have in common with church (ОSlav. црькы; Serb.. crkva) and Korochun.
