BIR (again) / Krishna

Italian per French pour German für English for
may testify to fur as trading good.

Krisnha, an avataar of Vishnu, created the
cow herd girls. In this aspect he comes from
the divine hind CER -: I -: who licked moon
bulls into life. Krishna means black one, consider
PIE *ker 'burn', flames leaving black ashes. In
this aspect he is a descendant of the divine stag
CER KOS who guarded the fiery entrance to
and exit from the Underworld, passed by the
sun horse in the evening and morning respectively.
A mythical shaman CER may have played a similar
role in the Stone Age as Prometheus in the metal
age: bringer of fire. The divine hind survived in Hera,
the divine stag in Hermes but also in Herakles who
captured the hellhound Kerberos, guardian of the
Underworld. Herakles died on a pyre and was taken
to heavens. From this we may perhaps infer that
the body of a dead shaman as personification of
the divine stag CER KOS was cremated on a pyre
made of oak wood, Latin for oak being quercus,
whereupon his soul ascended to Procyon in the
winter triangle (as explained in my Vision of the
Paleolithic Sky).

Magdalenian BIR (another short postscript)

BIR belongs to the permutation group of BRI
meaning fertility. BRI survives in the name of
the fertility giver BRI GID, a triple goddess
whose other emanations are the fur giver
BIR GID and the fire giver PIR GID. BRI is
also present in Sanskrit priya- Norse Fru
German Frau, while English woman Old
English wifman could have meant: weaving
hand, perhaps covering a still older BIR MAN
meaning something like: she handling fur.

Part 106, Numbers

EIS --- reality behind all appearances, ideas
and notions, idea of all ideas // ultimate reality
behind all apparent realities, possible origin
of words meaning one, Swiss Eis, ancient
Greek heis, German Eins ein eine eines

BIR --- fur, especially the fur on which a newborn
was laid // being laid on the fur would have been
the first event in life, origin of English first (while
Turkish bir means one)

DPA --- floor, ground // world in which we live,
realm of many beings and phenomena (as
opposed to eis above), possible origin of
English two and twice, close derivative Sanskrit
dva for the female form of two

SEC --- safety provided by a camp // a newborn
needs a warm fur, a child needs a safe camp,
possible origin of English second

AD DA --- toward (ad) away from (da), to you
from me, involving me and another person,
possible origin of English other German -ander,
also of Italian andare 'go', going toward a place
coming from another place (while the first form
vado 'I go' is a derivative of pad for the activity
of feet), also of Celtic ada 'water', a river flowing
to the sea, coming from a spring or well

TYR --- overcome (in the double sense of rule
and give), TRY --- triumph // a newborn needs
a warm fur, a child needs a safe camp, boys
and girls growing up must learn to survive and
cope with all sorts of challenges, possible
origin of English three and third (referring to
the age of children, first age a newborn laid
on the fur called bir, second age a child living
in the safety provided by a camp, third age
boys and girls learning to survive and cope)

KOD PIR --- hut (kod) fire (pir) // fires burning
around a camp, providing glowing coals for
cooking and other purposes, allowing orientation
by night, we may assume four fires indicating
the cardinal directions, possible origin of English

'four' and Lithuanian ketvirtas 'fourth'

Five and fifth, six (Italian sei) and sixth, seven and
seventh, eight and eighth, nine (Latin novem) and
nineth, ten (Latin decem) and tenth would come
from the names of the months number 5 6 7 8 9
and 10 of the LateMagdaleniancalendar: PAS
SAI SAP OKD NOPh and DEC

Magdalenianwords and compounds 2006-8
Part 105

In my previous message on the marvellous
exhibition of Neolithic art in Rumania in the
Historical Museum of Olten (until October 5)
I made (at least) two mistakes: podests instead
of pedestals, and vitrines instead of display cases.
'Pedestal' comes from PAD for activity of feet,
a statue _standing_ on a pedestal. 'Vitrine' is
French, from vitre 'glass', akin to Latin video
'I see'. This word, I believe, may be yet another
derivative of PAD, used in a metaphorical sense,
a ray of vision going out, so to say. A vignette
in an Egyptian Book of the Dead, actually Book
of Going Out in the Morning (of a new life) shows
a winged wedjat eye walking on a pair of legs.
'Vision' would then be a derivative of comparative
PAS for everywhere (in a plain), here, south and
north of me, east and west of me --- my ray of
vision going out and exploring the surrounding
world in every direction ...

Perhaps I should get more bold and propose
a lot more possible derivatives ofMagdalenian
words. English bird Old Englsih brydd may go
back to BIR and mean the fluffy one (young bird)
and the feathery one (adult bird), or it may come
from BRI and mean the fertile one, laying many
eggs. German Vogel 'bird' would then come from
DhAG meaning the able one, the good one in the
sense of the able one: able of flying. Latin vox
'voice' may then be another derivative of DhAG,
human beings having a voice are able in another
way, able of speaking ... An phonetically obvious
but semantically obscure derivative of DhAG is
fox. Explanations of its ability are found on the
central pillars of temple B on the Göbekli Tepe:
two foxes, leaping, their arcs of head and back
indicating the trajectory of the rising sun ... Foxes
apparently were the guides of a worthy soul through
the Underworld and back to daylight, from where
the soul may ascend to a heavenly abode ...
A charming Celtic coin shows the sun horse of
the early morning of the summer solstice, under it
the snout of a fox peeping out a cave: exit of the
Underworld the sun horse passed during night,
guided by the fox, by the able fox knowing how to
find out of the subterranean labyrinth.
