Deborah's Interpretive Dance

Regina writes from Germany: "I find it interesting that the Hebrew bee ,  דבורה  DiBHoaRaH has  דבר  DaBHaR  (speech, communication) as its root. So it is a speaking animal by its movements giving messages to the others.  Long before mankind found this out, our Creator already laid this into the word  'deborah.' " Other animals are more audible or visible as communicators, but the most detailed data is conveyed by the bee.    Rabbi Dr. Google provides the following: How do the bees communicate  vital information?  The location of the food source is indicated by the rhythm of the dance and by the orientation of the axis of the tail with respect to gravity . If the food source is near the hive, a "round" dance is performed.  A "tail-wagging" dance indicates that the food source is more than 80 meters (260 feet) away.  This dance transmits precise information about direction as well as distance.  The number of dance cycles performed by the bee in a certain length of time is inversely related to the distance of the food source.  Thus, about 10 cycles are performed every 15 seconds for a food source 100 meters (330 feet) away, but only one cycle is made in that period if the food source is 10,000 meters (33,000 feet) away. We must collect Edenic words that point to a pre-human, superhuman designer.  Besides all the nifty architectonics that make other languages look like babble,  it's words like that above that can be the bee in a bonnet for people who still think and wonder. How DID the  Proto-Semitic cavemen figure out that the ear was the organ of balance, and then name the    אזן OZeN  (ear) for balance    אזן   EeZain?   And which bright Late Stone Age Proto-Semitic wordsmiths named the class of birds who mostly balance in thermal drafts by the same balancing term? Quantity is quality. There will be a tipping point for the idols of incorrect language history.  The idols will lose their balance and shatter. ----------------------- Posted from Israel, where the monetary unit, the Sheqel, is from שקל   SHaQeL, to weigh or SCALEץ.

Music without Meaning doesn't MATTER

Happily, Edenicists interrpt my projects with important finds. Mark Feffer rediscovered MATTER itsef. MATTER is quantifiable substance.  The dictionaries guess that Latin material, "substance from which something is made,"  meant the “inner wood of a tree."   “MATTER” is compared to. Portuguese madeira, wood.  אמצע  EMTS[A]h EMTS  (middle) is also a mathematical concept, and a related Mem-dental term to our מ-ד  Mem-Daled family of measurement. Old English metan (to measure out),  Latin metiri (to measure) and Greek metron (measure, rule, length, proportion) are the topsoil roots of words like METE, METER, MEDIATE, and MODE.    The given Indo-European (IE) “root”s are me (to measure) and med (to take appropriate measures).  The deeper M-D or M-T Edenic roots include  מד  MahD (measure - Job 11:9)  and  מדה MeeDaH (measure, size, characteristic - Exodus 26:2).  אמצע  EMTS[A]h is the middle or MEAN, from Mem-Tsadi-Ayin  (middle)– in Aramaic and Syriac     See entries like “MODE” for mathematical concepts like MODEL.      2) We get another lift from Regina Werling:  The oldest HOOF terms are Sanscrit capha and the I.E. kapho.   עקב [A]QaiBH is the heel (Genesis 25:26) or a hoof (Judges 5:22). כף  KahF is the palm of the hand or foot, see “CUFF.”   The  עקב [A]hQaiBH  heel lifts the body.  German heben is to lift.  A Wagenhaber is the jack that  lifts one’s  car.   (perhaps one's Volkswagon.)     Old English hebban is “to lift.”   It is the source of to HEAVE.  But the Amer. Heritage Dict.  wants HEAVE to be a cognate of “have” at the IE “root” kap (to grasp).       כף  KaPH, see above, is also the palm of the hand; חפן   K[H]aPHahN is the hollow of the hand.  Between Edenics and standard, Semitically-challenged  etymology, it is clear which one is foolishly stringing together words based on mere sound. ------ Posted  from Sefad. Noam Chomsky's attack dogs accused Edenics of letting mere similar sound dictate what is related.

The SLUGGISH SLACKERS That Write our Etymologies

Why did the cowboy order a SLUG of  whiskey, and SLUG it down in one fast gulp or SLUG? Because he's a cowboy. Yes.  But why can SLUG mean "gulp." Dictionary.com gueses that "slug" may refer to a size. She doesn't get paid to publish etymologies, but RW of our Edenics team bothered to think about the sound and sense of whistling-tongue-throat words (fricative-liquid-guttural) words that seem to be sending or throwing like  sluge (to gulp) in Danish. Or, in her native German, RW knew that a Schlaugh is a tube with which water is directed to plants, or food is given to patients who cannot chew and swallow. Granted, the historic linguists who were tube-fed racism like French geese  are not going to look for a Semitic word like  שלך  SHeLaKH  (to send, throw out, set free).  But are they also too lazy to search Germanic for more sensible etymologies than the SLOUGH that they sometimes toss out there. the entry: SLACK      SHaLhKH      Shin-Lamed-Khaf S(H)A-LUKH_  ___שלך___   __[S(H)-L-KH] ROOTS:   The IE “root” of SLACK is sleg (to be slack or languid).     There is an Edenic way to link  SLACK with SL words of weakness. This requires an M321 or reversal of  חלש  K[H]aLaSH (weak, powerless --  Job 14:10). See “LOOSE.”   The Shin-Lamed -Khaf  approach here is based on the sense of being let go and thrown off like SLOUGH – see “SLOUGH. “ Old English slaec (loose) is more likely from the Edenic word of letting loose.   שלך  SHaLahK[H] is to send off, send away or set free. When Moses demands, "Let my people go" (Exodus 7:16) - the verb is  שלך S(H)LahKH.    Today, a teen would say, “Cut me some SLACK.”   BRANCHES:  To SLAKE is to lessen the hold of something… to give it SLACK, to let go… thus from the letting go of our  שלך S(H)LahKH.   SLAG is a variant of SLACK (Websters).  SLAG is the thrown--off dross in metallurgy.  The AHD sites Middle Low German slagge, metal dross,  but considers SLAG a cognate of SCHLOCK (a blow, though the Yiddish meaning of “trashy” fits SLAG).   Polish naslac means “send.” RW theorizes that gulping food or drink is throwing or sending food rapidly down the throat.  This could be why many Germanic “gulp” words (verbs) echo  שלך S(H)LahKH. These include: schlucken in German, slikken  in Dutch, sluka in Swedish, sluge in Danish and svelge in Norwegian. She adds that German Schlauch is a tube to send food to patients, water to plants, etc.   RW’s theory is corroborated. She explains why  SLUG has a definition as seen in Dictionary.Com (Random House): “Informal To drink rapidly or in large gulps: slugged down a can of pop.    For the animal SLUG, see “SLUG.”

Attention All Organisms

What was the first machine? Something so basic that the word got used for institutions, musical instruments, even special "machines" in the human body.... Answer: the ORGAN Where is this word from? The entry:   ORGAN    EeRGOON     Aleph-Resh-Gimel-Vav-Noon EAR-GOON ____________ארגון_____________[ARG] ROOTS: Latin organum and Greek organon are terms that mean instrument, implement or engine. The alleged Indo-European “root” is werg (to do).   Man's first real ORGAN or ORGANIZED machine was the loom or shuttle,   ארג EReG. The first "machines" in America, for instance, were spinning wheels. The weaver,  אורג OWRaiG  was emblematic of the craftsman, and weaving, אריגה AReeYGaH, became synonymous with manufacturing in Indo-European languages.   ארג   ORahG (to weave) is seen in Judges 16:13. For the woven sub-root — “see RUG”   BRANCHES:  Even primitive man understood that the human ORGANS, and ORGANICISM itself, was far too complex and too well engineered not to be carefully devised, like a loom.    ארגון  EeRGOON in Later Hebrew, is an ORGANIZATION.  See "ARCHITECT" for like-sounding, related  ערך  Ayin-Resh-Khaf  terms of arrangement.   Cognates of ORGAN include ALLERGY, ARGON, BOULEVARD, BULWARK, CHOLINERGIC, DEMIURGE, ENERGY, EXERGUE, EXOERGIC, GEORGIC, LITURGY, METALLURGY, ORGANON, ORGY, SURGERY, SYNERGISM, THAUMATURGE, WORK, WRIGHT and WROUGHT.   Borrowed widely, the French and German ORGAN is organe and Organ; they both have organization . The Hungarian musical ORGAN is orgona. ------------------ Posted from Sefad, where an Arab bus driver was so impressed when I said shukran (thanks), that he stopped the bus to point out where I needed to go.

The BARD: More Prophet Than Entertainer

BARD wasn't barred, but tucked away cautiously in the "WORD" entry with דבר DaBeR (speak).  Between the music (BRD had to come from DBR) and the meaning (I was thinking "poet and minstrel) I was reluctant to give BARD a separate entry in the Edenics wordbase/digital dictionary. But then Regina Werling and Mark Feffer came up with new research to convince me. I love being corrected. I guess that's why I never fit into academia. BARD           Da[V]aR           Dalet-Bhet-Resh        Dah-VAHR          דבר         [D-BH-RàBRD]  ROOTS:  A BARD  became a word for any poet or singer, but the epithet for William Shakespeare is more appropriate since the historic BARD was a person of significant eloquence.  In the word’s ancient Proto-Celtic and Druid past, in forms like Celtic bardo, Welsh bard and Scottish and Irish Gaelic bard,  the BARD had religious significance. The Indo-European “root” of BARD  may look and sound strange, and have the usual unlikely “cognates,” but it is important that  gwere-3  means “to praise aloud.” Similarly, דבר  DaBHaR, (word, thing – Genesis 11:1) does not initially appear to have religious significance.  But the loudly proclaimed ten statements (mistranslated “commandments”)  of  revealed law in Deuteronomy 4:13 are  דברים  DeBHaRiM.   The word WORD is synonymous with prophecy because the prophets often call their soon-to-be orated prophecy the  דבר  DaBHaR (word)  of the Lord.   Daled-Bhet-Resh/ D-BH-R means “speech” in Jeremiah 5:13, and a singing in Judges 5:10. To get from DABHaR to BARD requires an M231 metathesis: 1) Bhet/BH, 2) Resh/R and 3) Dalet/D.   At the “WORD” entry you will see how Modern German Wort, or the older Yiddish vort (word) similarly came from  ד-ב-ר Dalet-Bhet-Resh.   BRANCHES:   The American Hedritage Dictionary lists the following cognates of BARD:  AGREE, CONGRATULATE, GRACE, GRATEFUL, GRATEFUL, GRATIS, GRATITUDE, GRATUITY, INGRATE and INGRATIATE.  More global cognates from  דבר  DaBHaR at “WORD.”   -----------------------------------   Posted from the New Jersey-sized state whose chieif export is predicted to be The Word.   Daily posts on Facebook/Twitter--  Archived posts and Edenics web games: www.edenics.net   Edenics videolectures and most recent book: THE ORIGIN OF SPEECHES.

May Our Global Tribe Increase, Live Long and Prosper

The global tribe of  כהנים KoHaNim (priests) includes: Swahili kahini, Japanese  koyane, Hopi Indian kachinas and  Hawaii's big kahuna.  There is a secular meaning of כהן KoHain as cheiftan, which is why King David's children are called Cohanim, even though they did not have Levi jeans, I mean Levitic genes.

More Edenics MISHUGAAS

It was an accident.  I didn't want to bring Yiddish into this.  I was working with Swahili. Ah nechtiger tahg! The founders of Esperanto met informally after their big conventions.   Naturally, they spoke Yiddish.   Luftmenschen!  The old Jewish Jewish dream of uniting Mankind. Here's the entry: MISHUGA   (Yinglish)  MiSHOOGaH   Mem-Shin-Vav-Gimel-Hey Mih-SHOOG-a____               _____  משוגה _____________[SH-G] ROOTS:   Normally, Yiddish words sometimes used in English (Yinglish) are left to Leo Rosten’s dictionaries.  This was no  MISHUGAAS (neurotic craziness) of a MISHUGANER or michiginer (a crazy person, too easily mistaken for a with a person from Michigan).   Dictionary.com (Random House Dictionary, 2010) calls MESHUGA or MISHUGGA (senseless) a slang word that entered English from Yiddish meshuge  in 1880.   There are no known non-borrowed English cognates, but the Asian  and African ones needed an entry.      משוגה MiSHOOGaH is an  error, and  Japanese machigai is an error.  The root is actually just  ש-ג    Shin-Gimel.    שגה    SHaGaH is to go astray, Syriac-Aramaic SHiGAh, means “he erred;”    שגיהSHiGeeYaH is an error in Psalms 19:13.     The ש-ג   Shin-Gimel root appears earliest when discussing the sacrifices needed for the accidental sin,  in verses like Leviticus  4:2.   BRANCHES:  In Cantonese an accident is shi gu.   Saga is an accident in  Korean. Swahili “mistake” is (ma) kosa.  The guttural and fricative (throat and whistling letters) have changed places... not by accident. The Japanese also had an M-prefix before their S-K "mistake" root. Let's call that a happy accident. -------------- Posted from a town where Yiddish is the third most spoken language, after Hebrew and Russian, just ahead of Amharic and English.  In the larger Galilee region, Arabic is no. 1.  Daily posts on Facebook/Twitter-- Edenics web games: www.edenics.net   Edenics videolectures and most recent book: THE ORIGIN OF SPEECHES.

We All Think in Edenic, But We ALL THINK DIFFERENTLY

בבה  BOOBahH is a doll, a prized miniature . Hungarians got it right, as baba is their doll.      But languages like English use the word for a real live BABY.   פרק  PeReQ is a FORK in the road, a joint or point of divergence. So prakak was the word the Basque use for pants.  שמיר   SHaMeeYR  is a diamond. But Germans use SMARagd to mean an emerald. (The sparkling name ESMERELDA is a missing link.)  לילה  LaYLaH means night.   But the Swahili word lala means SLEEP ( the nightime activity).    This sure explains LULLABY better than some sort of lull (interval).  It's a night song. So,  with Edenics, you have seen letters slide around with both pronunciation and position in a word.   Now, conider how MEANINGS change, as perceived by the different CULTURES (not mere languages) formed at the Tower of Babel. ------ Posted from the Middle East, where it is midnight already.   Daily posts on Facebook/Twitter--Edenics web games: www.edenics.net   Edenics videolectures and most recent book: THE ORIGIN OF SPEECHES.

V I A D U C T ?

Vhy is a duck called a duck? Vhy else?  Because it ducks. It bobs its head into the water to catch food. Is head-bobbing a D-K word in Edenic? Not exactly. But   קדד    QaDaD is a head bow. Things got a tad mixed up with Babble-Babel. I'll duck the "DUCK" entry, and go to my favorite color: TEAL. TEAL TSaLaL TSadi-Lamed-Lamed TSUL-UL_______צלל_____ _[T(S)-L-(L)] ROOTS: From Middle English tele, a TEAL is a duck . צלל T(S)L aL (to dive, plungs, sink - Exodus 15:10) makes a fine etymon for a duck.  Diving in the water, or ducking in it, is why ducks are called ducks. The fricative-liquid opposite of צלל TSaLaL is סלל $aLaL (to raise up – Isaiah 62:10, see “SLALOM.”). (S.R. Hirsch). The word for the “depths” of the water is more well known: מצולת MiTSOOLoaT (Exodus 15:5) -- the core root being Tsadi-Lamed. שאול SH’OAL (Genesis 42:38) means “depth” to Harkavy; EDK has “etymology uncertain” for this word used for the grave, or underworld of tbe dead. The SOLE of the foot is somehow linked past Latin solum (bottom) and to an Indo-European make believe “root” , sel-1, meaning “human settlement.” Maybe the dictionary is saying that hell, or somewhere underfoot, is human settlement. BRANCHES: Toloa is a duck in Proto-Polynesian (the granddaddy of Hawaiian and Samoan). The SEAL might be another diver from this (T)S-&L root.  SHALLOW is a good S-L antonym for Tsadi-Lamed depths. For the Edenic source of SHALLOW (no IE “root”) see SH’OAL above. שאול SH’OAL (depth) matches German Sohle, SOLE; bottom (of valley). The color TEAL is the distinctive green-blue, also gray-blue, of males of several short-necked fresh water ducks.  See “DUCK” and “SOLE.” ------------ Posted within a bird's-eye view of the Kinneret/ Sea of Galilee.

Holey Post

Facebook friend Doreen Ellen Bell-Dotan wrote: "The word PERFORATED jumped off the page at me. Clearly, the meaning is much closer to the radical חרר [the Het-Resh source of HOLE, after a liquid or tongue shift]" ... but the sound is closer to פרר [the Pey-Resh source of FRAY and FRIABLE].

This post is remarkable because a) D2 is mistaken, and b) the American Heritage dictionary's make-believe Indo-Euro "root" , bher-2, correctly focuses perFORate on a bilabial-liquid or lip-tongue root of cuting, piercing or BORING. PER- is just a prefix, from Ayin-Bhet-Resh (OVER).

A BORE is a hole. Not the nudnik kind of BORE. The holey BORE is from בור BOAR (hole, pit).

Het-Resh (a hole) forms the sub-root in words where a hole is made. חרוץ [K]HaROOTS is a ditch or moat; חרט [K]HaRaDT is to engrave; חרש
[K]HoaRaiSH is to plow. (Remember that the HORSE is the plougher, and HEARSE used to be an elaborate plow.] Shifting liquids to חלל HaLaL. This means emptiness, so it is used to mean "outer space." HaLaL is the source of HOLLOW.

Say CHEESECAKE

Shavuot, Feast of Weeks, is here. Say CHEESECAKE. Sure it's a holiday of learning Torah and celebrating Sinai (Revelation). But the customary cuisine has been dairy, with cheesecake a favorite dessert.

MILK is from the verb of MILKING, squeezing, an obscure Biblical word מלק MaLaQ.

CHEESE is hardened milk. Hard is קשה QaSHeH. Hearing CHEESE is easier in Spanish ( queso).

An Edenic cake is a ככר KiKaR.

I add one more sweet entry,

DULCE(T) DeQeL Dalet-Koof-Lamed
DECK-el דקל [DKL  DLK] ROOTS: DULCET (pleasant) music played on a DULIMER is from Latin dulcis, sweet.
The alleged IE “root” is dlk-u (sweet).
Literacy and agriculture was developed in the Middle East, say contemporary scientists, so that words related to taste and foods are most likely from the Fertile Crescent. The first sweetener was the date. The date palm is דקל DeQeL, DLK after an M132 metathesis. דקל DeQeL does not appear in writing until the Babylonian Talmud, but the Babylonian (now Iraq) home of the date palms named the חדקל [K]HeeDeQeL (Tigress River) of Genesis 2:14.

BRANCHES: DELICACY is from Latin delicere (to delight - no IE “root” is known). Other likely DLK derivatives of Semitic DQL include: DELICATE, DELICATEESSEN, DELICIOUS, DELIGHT, DULCIFY, and DULCIMER. The AHD adds GLUCOSE, GLYCERIN and LICORICE as cognates of DULCET via Greek glukeros, sweet. The L and K of the Greek make it possible that Edenic DeQeL is the source, but the G replacing a D is now a mystery.
DLK-from-Edenic-DKL words of “sweetness” include: Italian dolce, Rumanian and Spanish dulce. The L was dropped in French doux and Portuguese doce. In Slavik the Edenic DKL in changed by an M313 and an added initial S to sladky (Czech), slodki (Polish), sladki (Russian) and sladak (Serbo-Croatian). In Uto-Aztecan taka is fruit. Other languages reverse and spin off Edenic דבש D’BHaSH (date honey) for “sweet” – see “SWEET.”

Don't be RUTHLESS!

It is Shavuot, Feast of Weeks, when we read the Book of Ruth—
So Don’t Be RUTHLESS !
Not a pun. Old English reuthe meant “kindness, compassion,”
Only the negative RUTHLESS survived as a modern word.
Is reuthe then from an Edenic source like רעות R[A]yOOTH, friendship ? Probably not. English readers were reading the Book of Ruth for many centuries. The compassion Biblical heroine became synonymous with compassion.
Just as JACKrabbit or JOCKEY became synonymous with male fertility and positioning for leadership because of Bible readers’ perceptions of Jacob.
Why read the Book of Ruth on a holiday commemorating the receiving of the Ten Statements (mistranslated Commandments) ? Yes, we are all converts on Shavuot. And Ruth the Moabite was a premier convert from a culture of cruelty and idolatry to the culture of compassion and justice under Divine Law. The divine comedy (tragedy reversed) of Ruth ends with the conception, then genealogy of the Messianic Line. Only the Eternal could know that the Redemption, the seed of King David, could emerge from what begins as a sorry saga.
A Proud Legacy of Humility
The Messianic line begins with Judah. The scepter doesn't depart from him, according to Jacob.
In Judah's defining moment, Genesis 33, he is the judge condemning to death his daughter-in-law Tamar for getting pregnant when she is officially engaged to his 3rd, youngest son. Tamar has negative status as a widow two times over, from a non-Jewish background.
When Tamar shows the court the seal and walking stick of Judah which she received as a guarantee for the payment of Judah's prostitution service with her, Judah could have said nothing, or denied they were his. He was a premier judge. His power and prestige was on the line.
Nonetheless, he admitted his guilt, and proclaimed that this lowly criminal was, in fact, "more righteous than me."
In the same situation, borrowed by Nathial Hawthorne in The Scarlet Letter, the Reverend Dimsdale is too proud to admit that HE is the father of the accused woman, and condemns Hester Pryne to punishment.
The child of Judah and Tamar, Peretz, was not conceived in the best circumstances, but Tamar's motive's were pure. She wanted to continue the line of her dead husbands, Er and Onan, and she could only do so by seducing Judah disguised as a prostitute.
Peretz is the ancester of Boaz and David. What about Ruth's side, the Moabide side of that illustrious family line? Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik pointed out a stark parallel. Moab is conceived also by a woman desperate to carry on life. It is hard to think of Lot's daughter seducing her drunken father in a positive light, but the Eternal knows motivations. She thought all humans had perished, as in the Flood. From the heroism of Lot's daughter came Moab, the nation of Ruth. From humble, even seemingly sordid heroism came the Messianic line.
The nighttime barn scene at the end of the Book of Ruth implies that Ruth seduced Boaz. Like Judah, Boaz had lost his wife.
But the focus here is on the humility of the male leads in the Messianic Line saga, not on the tactics of the female leads. Boaz could never have been approached if he were an imperious landowner as befitting his station.
Despite his wealth we see Boaz blessing his fieldworkers, and carefully leaving the proscribed areas of the field for the poor to glean. Someone of his position could well have ignored his relative Naomi as a pathetic, embarrassing stain on his lofty Bethlehem family. Instead, he looked after Naomi’s loyal caretaker. Boaz took pity on the status-less, gentile Ruth, and made sure that she and Naomi had food.
Like Judah his ancester, Boaz humbled himself in front of the court that he led, and publically made known his intention to marry this Moabite, insuring a legacy for Naomi's lost family.
Boaz and Ruth conceived David's grandfather. Redemption is conceived by these two heroes of compassion.
The tradition of humble leadership continues with David. He begins the often-imitated plot of winning the King's daughter by slaying the giant. Even though he is married to King Saul's daughter, Michal, he never parley's his Goliath-slaying into a grab for the throne. On the contrary. He loves prince Jonathan, and spares Saul's life even when the jealous king sets out to kill him.
He humbles himself before his non-Jewish enemies, pretending he has gone mad. Instead of collecting powerful friends, like his rebellious son would do, he leads a band of outcasts.
When he finally does get to be king, and to bring the sacred ark to Jerusalem, he dances joyously like a boisterous boy, with no sense of self-importance.
On Shavuot we celebrate Boaz and David's legacy from Judah, a proud legacy of humility. -------------------------------

Gonna Rock Your World

רגע  RoG[A]h  is to set in motion, or ROCK (like a cradle). The Lord thy God, who STIRRETH up the sea"...Isaiah 51:15. So the Creator ROCKS our world.  K from Gimel/G is a standard guttural or throat-letter shift.

Posted from Sefad where the Sabbath liturgy includes the phrase, "languague, which [the Lord] put in heir mouths" and where I suggested at the Sabbath table that the גלגלתם GiLGiLoaTaM (their head-count, in a census) be also read as GiLGOOLoaTam (their reincarnations). The cansus numbers remain eerily the same, as if souls were re-cycled.

Sacred Nesting Places

Nesting? The Creator 'hovers" (Robt. Alter) like a mother bird in Genesis 1:2.

שכן The S-K of שך SoaKH (“enclosure, dwelling”) or even the containment and interiority of a שק SahQ (bag – see “SACK”) [Mark Feffer] + the K-N of קן QaiN (nest or cell, see “KENNEL”) or even the location of כאן K'AhN (here) add up to שכן SHaKHaN (to dwell – see “ENSCONCE.”) The שכינה SHiKHeeYNaH (the Divine Presence embedded in the משכן MiSHKahN (Tabernacle) and Temple is thus an enclosed dwelling, a nesting and embedded force within sacred space. ----------

The Cherokee people will return...will return to Eden

FB friend David Funnel led me to a Cherokee native speaker
who inspired the work below, and who will hopefully help me improve it.

Cherokee/ Aniyawiya [Amerind/Algonquian/SE U.S.]

KEY:
Unbolded areas are not in the root.
Letter Shift Codes A menorah of only 7 sounds, as all music is from 7 notes
שנוי בצליל האותיות S = letter shifts: [all vowels are interchangeable, no shifts needed]
S-B = bilabial shift [interchangeable lip letters: B, F, V, W],
S-F = fricative shift,[interchangeable whistling letters: Soft C,S,TS] S-G = guttural shift [interchangeable throat letters: Hard C,G,K,Q]
S-D = dental shift [interchangeable tooth letters: D, T, TS]
S-L = liquid shift [interchangeable tongue letters: L,R]
S-N = nasal shift [interchangeable nose letters: M,N]

N = nasalization (extra M or N inserted in the root).
M = metathesis (root letters switch places). Example: M132 means that the Slavic word takes the 1st, 3rd, then 2nd root then 2nd consonant letter of the Edenic root.
 = reverse the (root letters of) the Edenic source word
B = a borrowing from another modern language

Key to Romanized Hebrew Aleph-Bet: Vowels are in lower case. Root letters in Upper Case with [brackets] around unpronounced letters or non-historic ones in the derivative language. 5 Hebrew letters have end-forms.
Aleph א = A or any Upper Case VOWEL; Betב = B, Bhet = BH or (V); Gimel ג= G; Dalet = ד D; Hey ה= H;
Vav ו= V, OO or OA ; Zayinז = Z; Het ח= [K]H or K[H]; Tetט = DT; Yod י= Y; Kahf כ,ך = K, Khaf = KH; Lamed ל= L; Memמ,ם = M; Noon נ,ן = N; Samekh ס= $; Ayin ע= bracketed UPPER CASE [VOWEL] or GH; Peyפ,ף = P, Phey = PH or F; Zaddi צ,ץ= TS (always read ST in European); Koof ק= Q; Raish ר= R or WR; Shin ש= SH, Sin = S; Tahf ת= T,
TH, or (S)

Some Things Are Better Ignored (like some initial-S's)

A [S]COOP is a CUP. The initial S is bogus. There is no ancient source for SCOOP. גביע GaBHeeY[A]h is a cup; כפית KahPeeYT is a spoon or ladle, and Man's first drinking CUP was the CUP of his hand, the כף KahPH (palm).

There are dozens more examples of non-historic initial S's preceding a guttural (throat-made) letter like hard-C, G, K and Q, in words over 3 consonents.

A SCARF is from ערף GHoRePH (neck). A [S]CISSors is for גזז GaZaZ (to shear, clip) [S]CRAPE, [S]CRIBE and [S]CRIPT are CARVE words.

A new one found today is SQUADRON. People with the E-Word CD Dict. could paste it in.

(S)QUADR(ON) GHayDeR Ayin- Dalet--Resh AID-ere__ _עדר _ [GH-D-R (G)H-R-D]

ROOTS: SQUADRON or just SQUAD is thought to come from French esquadre , from Spanish escuadra, square (from the square shape of the formation).

A SQUADRON came to mean two or more divisions in the navy or cavalry, but the oldest definition is “ a multitude or HORDE.” Multitudes do not assemble in perfect squares; the dictionaries are fudging it once again.

The S before a guttural here is one of twenty examples (so far) where the S was added before the root. See the list at the “SCOOP” entry. For the naïve fundamentalists who cling to pre-Edenics etymology, see the “QUARTER” entry to see how the make believe “square” etymon is from Edenic anyway.

A SQUADRON is a HORDE, which is a HERD of humans.
עדר GHayDeR is a flock, herd or "drove" (Genesis 32:17).
A herd of humans is an עדה GHayDaH (assembly, congregation – Exodus 12:3). This covers the shorter SQUAD, if it isn’t just a clipped SQUADRON. BRANCHES: The cohesiveness of a “herd mentality” could help some sports teams, a squadra in Italian. More at “ HERD.”

Tally Ho! Another mistake by King James' foxy Hebrew Bible translators

The King James Version (KJV) translators of the Hebrew Bible created a wonderful piece of English literature.
But NOT an accurate or adequate translation. All translation is slanted interpretation.
Multiply this by a thousandfold when dealing with a bunch of Brits out to transform this Jewish treasure-text into a Christian prologue. There are sweet, sincere fundamentalists who swear that the KJV crew were inspired, and as infallible as the Pope.

There are dozens of translation mistakes exposed by Edenics discoveries. These errors have been copied by publishers of Jewish English Bibles and Hebrew dictionaries, not just the many Christian follow-ups to the KJV.

Edenics is about celebrating our common ancestors, those who speke the language of Eden. So nothing too divisive or theological.

Today we take up an inoffensive example of how Englishmen will turn a Semitic jackal into a European fox.
JACKAL SHOOGH[A]L Shin-Vav-Ayin-Lamed
Shoe-GHAHL שועל [SH-G-L  J-CK-L]

ROOTS: Traced only as far back as Turkish chaggal and the Indo-Aryan Persian shagal (jackal), with the O.E.D. first citing German schakal, this wild dog makes an appearance in Judges 15:4. Trouble is, King James' fox-hunting sportsmen translated Hebrew שועל
SHOOGH[A]hL it as a fox. Tally-ho! Samson captures many of these “foxes” to burn the Philistines fields. Foxes live in isolation, in small foxholes, and are in a mating pair once a season. It would have taken Samson months to capture several foxes.

The translation of “foxes” was poor, and based on the wild dogs that Europeans know from their forests. Middle-Eastern Jackals, on the contrary, are abundant in wild, non-forest terrain. They are highly social, and live in densly populated dens. One fearless Samson could capture 20 JACKALS in one foray.

Echoing the שועל SHOOGHAL is its שעל SHaGHaL (bark or couph). The canine’s SLOUCH and SLINK (see “SLUG”) may be seen in the related זחל ZaK[H]aL (creep) of this hunting creature padding on its שעל SHaGHaL paws. (The two terms share fricative-guttral-liquids, see “SOLE”).

BRANCHES: It appears that once again an animal name has too many global relatives not to have a pedigree with the nomenclature of Adam. Is there another reason for Sanskrit srgala, French and Portuguese chacal, or Italian sciacallo all inhabiting the same fricative-guttural-liquid den of wild dogs? The Uto-Aztecan dog, sari, has shifted from S-L to S-R. The Cherokee (Amerind) fox is tsutla. This will be a stronger form of the Edenic Shin-Lamed, once Edenicists discover more about the Cherokee T. The Bible scholars translate תן TahN as jackal. As תן Tahn applies to any wild canine, it may be related to the Australian DINGO. Tainokos is a dog for the Chiquitto of Boloivia. Japanese tanuki means fox, racoon-dog; Maya tsamak means fox; fox is
tsamao for the Araona speakers of the Bolivian Amazon . Turkish itin is a canine term. Reversing the M-T of MUTT (a mixed-breed dog) may reveal a TM variant of a TN Edenic etymon. MUTT is currently linked to the epithet "muttonhead."

“ Fox” itself is in a large canine entry, “LOBO.”

----------
Posted from Sefad after a pause before our Sabbath table singing at dusk let us hear some high pitched yips and whines. My sister explained that these were jackals in the valley behind her building.

MUSIC TO BREAK-UP BY

MUSIC is MEANING, SOUND is SENSE. Sound is energy. Edenics is science, not mysticism. (Although true science is mystical, and true mysticism is scientific.)

Listen to the sound of breaking up. (Relax. I'm not talking about your cell phone or love life.)

Below are eleven related “breakers” with the same sequence of bilabial-liquid-guttural or lip-tongue-throat letters: 1) ברג BeReG. Preserved in Arabic, this cognate of BRACE and BRACKET now infers screw and bolt in Modern Hebrew.  The corkscrew metal BREAKS through wood.
2) ברק BaRaQ. This is a bolt, FLICKER or broken line of lightning. Lightning is FORKED. See things that BRANCH out (a nasalized, extra N, form of BRK. See “FORK.”

3) ברח BeReK[H]. This is the knee, which BREAKS the length of the leg. (The verb from is in Genesis 24:11).  How else will you PARK your camel?  BRACHY- words are from Greek brachys (short), while the arm's BRACHIUM is the Latin source of may arm-like words. These include BRACE, BRACELET, BRACHIO- (prefix for arm words), BRACKET (if not from the Arabic term above), BRA(N)CH and BREECHES. PeReQ is a joint (bone).

4)  פלג  PeLeG. The FLOCK of words here includes BLOCK, BREAK, BRIGADE (see “BRIGADE”), FLAKE, FLUKE, FRACAS and PLUG. Consider that Genesis 10:25 may refer to the break up of earth's single land mass into continents; otherwise Peleg was named for the tribal BLOCKS that took shape and migrated apart in his era. The same Hebrew term is the "divide" of "divide their tongue" in Psalms 55:10. P’LooGaH is a division (II Chronicles 35:5). The IE “root” bhreg (to break) includes BRACKEN, BRAKE, BRAH, BRAY, BREACH, BRECCIA, FRACAS, FRACTION, FRAC¬TURE, FRAGILE, FRAIL, INFRACTION, INFRINGE, OSSIFRAGE, REFRACT, REFRAIN and SUFFRAGE. Eber, Noah’s great-grandson “פלג / PeLeG, for in his days was the Earth divided.”  Before the Deluge initiated Continental Drift, crossing what would later be named The Bering Strait was a walk in the park.  The  BREAKUP  of a stream into rivulets is at the “ARCHIPELAGO” entry.

5)  פלח FeLaK[H] (piece, slice - I Samuel 30:12) is another FLAKE (see “FLAKE”), FRACTION or FRAGMENT word. 6)There is פלח PaLaK[H] or FaLa[K]H  in Psalms 141:7. This word refers to the PLOUGHer in the neighboring farm  or the FELLOW   who PLOWs. 7) פלח  PeLeK[]H (Nehemiah 3:9). This spacial break off or partition means a district or PAROCHIIAL PLACE. 8)  פרח PeRaK[H] or FeRa[]KH. The BREAKING out here is the kind FRECKLES and PLAGUES might do. There's also the FLIGHT, spreading out and blossoming of birds, flora and FRA¬GRANCES. The budding sense comes from Genesis 40:10; spreading and "flourishing" is seen in Proverbs 14:11. Boils (perhaps bubonic plague) "breaks forth" in Exodus 9:9.   אפרח  EFRoaK[H] is a baby bird or FLEDGELING who breaks out of his shell;   פרח PaRaK[H] is to blossom or flower. 9) פרכת  PaRoKHeT. The curtain of Exodus 26:31, this space breaker or partition is pargodus in Latin, and is nasalized as firanka  in Polish.  כפרת KaPoReT (covering on the holy ark—Exodus 25:17) is a synonym by M231 metathesis in  פרכת PaRoKHeT (the curtain before the holy of holies – Exodus 26:33).   The Finish curtain, esirippu, is a metathesis of one of these, perhaps a reversal of  כפרת KaPoRe(S).  This curtain is a covering (see “COVER”), while the related curtain, like the next word, is curtain as space BREAKER.
Old Norse balkr (partition) is one of several terms attributed to IE “root” bhelg. Some of these include BALCONY, BALK, BULK,     FULCRUM and PHALANX. 10) פרך PaRahKH. Appearing in Exodus 1:13, but more evident as a splitting word in Aramaic, it breaks up into English words like FLAKE, FLUKE and FREAK (see “FREAK”).

11)   פרע  Pey-Resh-Ayin, that’s 1) F or P, 2)  R, and 3) vowel or GH guttural,  means  FREAKED OUT or unordered division, even in hair – see entries like “FREAK,” “FUR,” PILE,” (as in pile carpet)”    and “PERIWIG.” 12)    פרק PeReQ or PayRahQ (Genesis 27:40) The definitions of this word infer BREAKING OFF or PARKING in a text (a chapter) as well as removal words like FLECK, FLEECE, FLICK and PLUCK. Via IE “root” piek (to tear) one might add FLAY, FLESH, and FLETCH.  פרק  PeReQ is also a joint or crossroads. In living things this etymon (source word) is often nasalized (with an extra N or M) for various kinds of BRANCHES, like the BRONCHI leading to the right and left lung. More BRACES at  entries like “BREECHES” and “BRONCHITIS.”

the PARAKEET has landed

A פרחת PaRaK[H]aT is a bird or a flying creature (Ezekiel 13:20). אפרח EPHRoa[K]H is a young bird (Deuteronomy 2:6). Did you hear the mimicry of a PARAKEET? The authorities guess that PARAKEET is a diminutive of “Pierre Peter.” History will decide who the birdbrains are.

Here is the relevent entry from our E-Word CD Dict. :

FLIGHT PaRa[K]H Pey-Resh-Het
Pah-RAHKH___פרח___[P-R-KH  PH-L-GH]

ROOTS: German flug, to fly, helps us to consider FLIGHT as an FLG word, and to consider the end-T as non-historic. The AHD puts FL + dental (D,T) words, like FLEET (see “FLEET”) and FLOAT at the same alleged Indo-European (IE) “root”, pleu (to flow), that is given to FLIGHT. A young FLEDGE or FLEDGELING (learning to fly) is also in that flooded IE “root.” The D of FLEDGLING was added to better pronounce the FLG “flight” word. The pleu IE “root” not only includes the verb FLY, but the noun, the insect, as well. The AHD traces the FLY to Old English fleoge (a fly).

This FLG word fits the Phey-Resh-Het/ F-R-K[H] Semitic etymons below: Sryiac פרחתא PaRa[K]HTAh is a bird and an insect, a flying creature. פרח PaRaK[H] is to fly, blossom forth (Genesis 40:10), or to go arborne like a disease (Exodus 9:9). A פרחת PaRaK[H]aT is a bird or an flying creature (Ezekiel 13:20). אפרח EPHRoa[K]H s a young bird (Deuteronomy 2:6). Only a bilabial shift away is ברח BaRaK[H] (to break away and flee, take flight -- Genesis 31:22). See a family of these bilabial-liquid-guttural breakers at “BREAK.” More ברח BaRaK[H] , including an identically spelled barrier to escape at “WRECK.” רחף Ra[K]HaiPH (to hover, Robert Alter on Genesis 1:2) is a “flying” synonym of פרח PaRaK[H] by an M231 metathesis. See “HOVER.”
Because ח Het/[K]H is a “weak” letter רחף Ra[K]HaiPH may also be considered akin to רפרוף ReePHROOPH, fluttering, hovering, and as just a ר-ף Resh-Phey or liquid-bilabial word. The word is Middle Hebrew, but not a borrowing.

For just bilabial-liquid “flight” there is אבר AhBHahR (to fly, soar – Job 39:26), from אבר AyBHeR, wing, quill. אברה E’BH’RaH is a wing of feather.

Follow the פ-ל Phey-Lamed sub-root of separation at “ARCHIPELAGO,” “PLEA,” and “PLOUGH.”

BRANCHES: Firaakh is an Arabic chicken. אפרח EFRoaK[H], the young bird or FLEDGELING who is learning to fly, explains German vogel ( bird). The Edenic bilabial-liquid-guttural has been scrambled by an M132 metathesis, with Pey/P-Resh/R-Het/K[H] shifting to V-G-L. But German has other words from Pey-Resh-Het: Flug is flight; fluggewerden is a fledge and Flugzeug is an airplane אפרח EFRoaK[H] is used for chicks and chicken, so the bilabial-liquid PULLET, and chickens of French (poulet), Italian and Spansh (pollo), and the nasalized (extra N) frango of Portuguese are forms of our Pey/Phey-Resh-Het. PRK flying is like springing forth. The alleged IE “root” of SPRING is spergh (to move, hasten,spring). As is so often the case, the S before a 4–or-more consonant word is non-historic. With words like SPRINGBOK and SPRINGE (a snare), the N is also froma nasalizaion. The botanical sense of Pey-Resh-Het explains the flowering season of SPRINGTIME.

To the bilabial-liquid “fly,” “hover,” ‘wing” and “feather” words above, like רפרוף ReePHROOPH, fluttering, hovering, Regina Werling links these to Rumanian aripa (wing) and the Ainu butterfly: marewrew. She gathers the following “feather” words: bulu, Indonesian; fjer, Danish ; peri, Czech; perie , Slovak; pero, Bulgarian, Russian and Ukrainian; pioro, Polish; pluma, Spanish ; plume, French; and veer, Dutch . More relevant bilabial-liquids at “BREAK,” “FLEET” and “FRUCIFY”

Forbidden Idolatry in Washington, D.C.

"Lost Tribe" theorists hate Edenics, because it proves that EVERY HUMAN SPEAKER is a lost Hebrew. Their strongest "evidence" is with words -- then we burst their bubble by showing that Australian Aborigines or Eskimos have a word of similar sound and sense.

I gladly postpone any planned posts, when an interesting email comes in. One came today from a Facebook friend who now lives 2 miles away: Wendy Cohen.

She sent a video with claims that the Japanese are a lost tribe of Israel. In particular, those who make the case for some kind of historical contact between ancient Israelites and pre-Shinto Japanese like to point out that HASHIRA is a deified tree log. This is strikingly similar the tree worship אשרה ASHeRaH reviled by biblical prophets.

"Hashira" is now defined as Japanese for a column or pillar. That's OK. Primitive columns or pillars were tall trees or tree logs. A straight, verticle column or pillar is from שורה SHOORaH, column or row. See the "SERIS" entry.

High and straight structures like obelisks were deified in Ancient Egypt, and are still venerated in cities like London and Washington, D.C. We may know understand the ASHeRaH tree worsip as basically an ancient, natural obelisk or high tower. The limbs of the tall tree may have been trimmed off, so that it was more like a phallic obelisk than the X-mas tree that have come from rituals of the Druids.

I was able to add "hashira" to both the "SERIES" entry, and to the entry which follows:

ASH (TREE) AySHe)L( Aleph-Shin-Lamed
AISH(EL)________אשל_________[A-SH-(l)]

ROOTS: From Old English oesc, the ASH tree is leafy and sturdy. אשל AySHeL is a Biblical shade tree (Genesis 21:33), usually thoght to be a tamarisk (which is a date palm — see "TAMARISK").

In I Samuel 22:6 the אשל AySHeL is "on the height" like a mountain ASH tree. The vowel-fricative Edenic tree root is grounded by עץ [A]yTS, tree, wood or timber (Genesis 2:9).

BRANCHES: אשוח ASHOOa[K]H is a fir tree. The אשל AySHeL, tamarisk tree, that Abraham planted in Genesis 21:33 (a symbol for the Jewsih people that Abraham founded), would grow, against all odds, to be a mightier tree or empire than ASSYRIA - אשור ASHOOR being their god of empire and symbol of expansiveness. The region was full of sacred trees or אשרה ASHeRaH worship . Ashera worship, denounced by biblical prophets, is a Phoenician-Assyrian rite identified with Astarte. (Fundamentalist Christians are right to disdain the Christmas tree as a pagan object of veneration.) ASAK is a sacred East Indian tree, from the Dravidian (Southern. India) seen below.

Abraham's grandson אשר ASHER (good fortune) has the tribal symbol of a wide, spreading tree.

In German, Esche is an ash tree, from אשל AySHeL, while Holtz, wood is from עץ [A]iTS , wood, tree. While the words from עץ [A]yTS more often mean “wood” than a “tree” around the world, there is a forest of vowel-fricative trees to consider:

Brazilian assai palm tree
Cherokee atzina tree
Chinese uhs tree (reversing shu, tree, typical for Asian languages)
German Esche ash tree
Hindi asok sacred tree Igbo/Nigeria osisi tree, wood, stick
Latvian uozol oak tree
Mohawk ehsa ash tree Polish os(h) axle-tree
Sanscrit asoka sacred tree
Sumarian asa, az myrtle tree
asal, asar poplar tree
Turkish aayas tree More vowel-fricative trees at entries like “LUTE” and “TREE.”

The Methods of Babel-babble

The post today was in vivid colors for all the anatomical letters. But the colors are lost in email. Nonetheless, it is a useful introduction to Edenics to those who can use it:

EDENICS is about sound and sense—MUSIC and MEANING—in language. EDENIC (Proto-Semitic, best documented in Biblical Hebrew) was HARD-WIRED in the brain of man (since Eden). Its software design matches the hardware ANATOMY of Lips, Throat, Tooth Ridge, Nose, Tongue, and Whistling Air (to pronounce the letters/sounds).

Then, in Shinar (Sumer, referenced as the later Babel) a neuro-linguistic disturbance was the Big Bang of language dispersion. The single, species-wide human language program was diversified into 70 languages. The ongoing natural breakup of these languages, like Proto-Germanic, have now given us 6000 “languages” (really dialects), like English. Genesis 11 does not reveal the mechanics of the “confounding” of language at the TOWER OF BABEL, but global Edenicists are making great strides in analyzing the ensuing diversity.

First, there were immediate Sound-Based LETTER SHIFTS within 7 ANATOMICAL GROUPS. (Music’s 7 notes are do, ra, mi, fa, so, la and ti.)
 Interchangeable Voiceless Vowels: Aleph/any Cap Vowel & Sometime Vowels;
Hey/H; Vav/OO or OA; Yod/Y, J or eeY; Ayin/GH or bracketed [Cap Vowel] א ה ו י ע  Interchangeable Bilabial Letters (LIPS) ב ו פ Bet/B, Bhet/BH or [V]; Vav/V or W; Pey/P; Phey/PH or F  Interchangeable Guttural Letters (THROAT) ע ק ה ג ח כ Hey/H, Gimel/G or J, Het/[K]H or K[H], Kahf/K, Khaf/KH, Ayin/GH or bracketed [Cap Vowel], Koof/Q
 Interchangeable Dental Letters (TOOTH RIDGE)ד ט צ ת Dalet/D, Tet/DT, Tsadi/TS (always ST in European), Tahf/T, Thaf/TH  Interchangeable Nasal Letters (NOSE) Mem/M, Noon/N מ נ  Interchangeable Liquid Letters (ROLLING TONGUE) ל ר Lamed/L, Resh/R or WR
 Interchangeable Fricative/Sibilant Letters (WHISTLING) ז ס צ ש ת Zayin/Z, Samekh/$, Tsadi/TS, Sin/S, Shin/SH, Sahf/(S) (Sahf is a variant of Tahf)
EXAMPLES:  Sometime VOWEL to Voiceless VOWEL YaGOAN to AGONY יגון  LIPS BILABIAL SHIFT ABBa to PAPA אבא  THROAT GUTTURAL SHIFT QeReN to HORN קרן  TOOTH RIDGE DENTAL SHIFT AReTS to EARTH ארץ  NOSE NASAL SHIFT IYLaN to ELM אילן  ROLLING TONGUE LIQUID SHIFT [K]HOAR to HOLE חור  WHISTLING FRICATIVE SHIFT SHaQeL to SCALE שקל Second, METATHESIS scrambled ROOT WORDS: positions 1-2-3 of ROOT LETTERS swapped places in traceable patterns, even Reversals. (Reversals are most common with two-letter root words.)
EXAMPLES:
 DEGREE M132 (easiest) from DaRGaH (step, rank) דרגה
 WORD M231 from Da[V]aR (word) דבר  BEAUTY M213 from TSiBHeeY (beautiful) צבי  MERCY M312 from RaK[H]eM (mercy) רחם  TERRA M321 (Reversal) from AReTS (earth) ארץ Third, during millennia of language corruption, survival of the easiest caused NASALIZATION (inserting extra Ns or Ms).
EXAMPLES:  AND [O]aWD (furthermore) עוד  SLING SHaLaK[H] (to send off, release, throw) שלח
 SWAMP $OOF (German sumpf, a marshy swamp, bog) סוף  BRONZE BaRZeL (bronze, brass) ברזל With Edenics we can now know WHY words mean what they do.
Why is a Spanish firemen a bombero, and a French one a pompier? Because firemen PUMP water, and history’s first PIPE was the ABOOBH, אבוב (hollow reed). See NASALIZATION and BILABIAL SHIFTS above.

Languages everywhere are ultimately from Babel.
The migrating Native Americans "remembered" the Edenic word ן ח צ TSaK[H]aN (stink), scrambled a bit at Babel, when they encountered a black and white stinker. English got SKUNK from Native Americans.
To hear STINK or SCANDAL (a big stink),
apply metathesis M132 to TSaK[H]aN.

Edenicists apply fundamentals of Sound-Based LETTER SHIFTS, METATHESIS, and NASALIZATION to search for Edenic ROOTS.
Only a few hundred words are as simple as Japanese SaMuRai (the emperor’s royal guard) from SHOMeR שומר (guardian). The vast majority of words are as hard to get as: (1) English LONG from Edenic ARoaKH ארך (long)—the initial Aleph is dropped, the Resh shifts liquids to L, and an N is added (nasalization); or (2) English WORD (from German vort) from Edenic Da[V]aR דבר (word, thing)—where metathesis M231 and a bilabial shift are needed.

I got the idea when Serad's best printer couldn't make my two-sided color handout for Edenics presentations. He did do it in black-and-white.
Not as easily grasped, but worthwhile.

OXYMORONS Are Not Stupid Bull

There are no moronic oxen involved when a language has exquisitely designed antonyms using the same letters.

To the Western mind, such words are confusing accidents. But the Eastern and Mideastern mind (especially the Hebrew Bible) sees paradox when a Westerner sees contradiction.

The brain inverts images seen by the eye. We perceive things in a fuller way when we have two eyes proving a blended image. We know light only because we know darkness. Only the lonely and those aquainted with the night, can more intensely feel love and life.
Contrary to theories about words evolving for semantic clarity, as mere signals to indicate subjective meanings, Edenic has many oxymoronic couples of remarkable similarity.

We are now not looking at designed antonym pairs using anatomical letter shifts, or the three kinds of scrambling metathesis.

These are examples of what the sages called דבר והיפוכו (the thing and its opposite). These most non-human, paradoxical words include:

אזרח EZRa[K]H is a citizen, native (Leviticus 16:29). An alien or stranger is a זר ZahR (Leviticus 22:13). זר Zayin-Resh is the core of these built-in opposites

אפס APHai$: The פ-ס Pey-Samekh opposite of אפס APHai$, running out of something, like money in Genesis 47:15, is the abundance of פסה Pee$aH , like the corn in Psalms 72:16.
ברח BaRaK[H] is to flee (Genesis 31:22). בריח BaReeYaK[H] is a fugitive. The built-in opposite of all this breaking out and escaping is בריח BaReeYa[H]K, a bar or bolt to prevent escape . The opposite of בר BahR as obstruction is seen in terms like בר BahR (open field, suburb -- see “BARRIO”) and ברור BaROOR (clear – see “BARE" ).

גרף GaRaF means both to sweep away and to gather – see “PURGE”

חלץ [K]HaLahTS is to gird (also Syriac). Its built-in opposite is the identical חלץ [K]HaLahTS ,to draw off, withdraw, to loosen – see “LOOSE.” טמום DTaMOOM means stupid or senseless; טמטם DTiMDTaiM is to make stupid; נטמה NiDTMaH (Job 18:3) is to be stupid. טעם DTa’[A]hM ("wise"- Proverbs 26:16) is a like-sounding antonym.

מלך MeLeKH (king) is the Go-Maker. He makes people LaiKH (go!).
A מלאך Mal'AKH (angel) is an agent, who is told to "go." מסך Ma$ahKH is to mix (Proverbs 9:2). See “MIX.” Paradoxically, the same מסך Ma$ahKH means curtain, screen (see “MASK”); that which separates space, and prevents areas from mixing.

נחם NaK[H]ahM means both to grieve, regret and to be comforted, consoled. Both dwelling on the past, and moving forward. – see “AMITY”

נכר NeeKahR means to be recognized, but also NeeKaiR is to treat as a stranger— Genesis 42:7 -- see “MARK”).

נצח NeeTSayaK[H] means both to beat and to be beaten – see “SANGRIA”

Samekh-Pey, סוף $OAF (end) and הוסיף HOA$eeYF (to add) – see “PHASE OUT”

עד Ayin-Dalet, עד [A]hD is eternity (infinite) –see “ETERNAL” or it means until, up to a certain point (finite). Similarly, עןד [O]aWD (further, still) is the opposite of finiteness -- see “ADD.”

עולם [O]aWLaM is This World , our visible reality (Ecclesiastes 3:11) where the spiritual reality of our Creator is עלם [A]LahM (hidden -- Leviticus 4:3). עור [ O]WR (our sensitive skin) is the source of AWARE, see “CORIUM” and “ORIENTATION.” Read slightly differently, Ayin-Vav-Resh also provides the opposite of awareness -- blindness. See “UMBRELLA.” עזב[A]ZahBH means both to leave and forsake (Genesis 39:13), and to strengthen, fortify and build up(Nehemiah 3:8).

ערבה [A]RaBHaH means both a dry desert (whence Arab) and a willow tree (that grows near water) – see “ARBOR”

ר-פ Resh-Phey words are for both healing and ill health: רפא RaPHAh is to heal
or cure (Exodus 15:2),. רפות RiPHOOT is health in Proverbs 3:8. רופא ROAPHAy is a doctor. תרופהT’ROOPHaH, treatment [THERAPY] is the opposite of תורפה TOORPaH (weakness - see "TORPID"); רפהRaPHAh is weak (Jeremiah 49:24) and רפיון RiPYOAN is weakness (Jeremiah 47:3).
שבות SH’BHOOT means both captivity and repariation -- see “SABBATICAL” שחר Shin-Het-Resh, SHaK[H]oaR means dark or black, and SHaKHahR means light or dawn -- see “SWARTHY”

שנה Shin-Noon-Hey means both to change and to repeat – see CHANGE”

Conventional Hebraicists who believe that Hebrew “grew” or evolved only with semantics or human usage have long noted, and have made peace with a few oxymoronic pairs that make sense in context. Like having the identical letters of a word mean both “root” and “to uproot.” But the list is longer than they know, and identically spelled words which mean something AND ITS OPPOSITE does not reflect a human coinage for unambiguous communication, but the non-human design of an intelligence subtle enough to reflect the paradoxical aspects of things.

גרם GaRaM as bone, and to crush bone

חסד [K]He$eD is grace (II Samuel 9:3)
חסד [K]HaSahD is disgrace (Leviticus 20:17).

מלח MaLa[K]H means to rub small, to reduce to dust (Harkavy –Isaiah 51:6), but also מלח Mala[K]H is the noun and verb of salt or salting, a preservative which prevents organic material from breaking down (Exodus 30:35). See “MILL.”

סעיף $a’e[E]F is a branch, and $ay[A]aiF is to lop of branches (see “PHASE OUT”

מוש MOOSH can mean touch or feel (see MASSAGE at “MASS”), and
the opposite, to withdraw (see “MISS”) – סקל $aQahL is to stone, and סקל $eeKail is to clear of stones
עצם [E]TSeM is a bone, and [E]eTSaiM is to break bone
ערף [O]ReF is the neck, and [A]RahF is to break the neck (see “SCRUFF”)

שד SHahD is a nurturing breast or teat (Lamentations 4:3), and the name of the deity as hidden, natural nurturer is שדי SHaDahY (Exodus 6:3).
Yet, the same Shin-Dalet שד SHoaD means robbery and oppression (Psalms 12:6), and שד SHaiD is a destructive demon (Deuteronomy 32:17). [SHADE] שנה SHaNaH is both to change, and to repeat the same (see “CHANGE”)
שרש SHoReSH is a root and to uproot
----
A small fraction of these appear word pairs appear in "How The Hebrew Language Grew." They are dismissed as human errors. But Edenic did not evolve. These words are difficult to classify as human or as mistakes.

REPROACH for the Big Dicts., and the bitterness of Gorki Park

OUR DICTIONARIES are  beyond REPROACH.   After all, their work is the published standard in our reference libraries.

But we can get past this unearned veneration when we see the slipshod methods that allow the Amer. Heritage Dict., for example,  to assume that APPROACH and (conciliatoty) RAPPROCHEMENT are cognate with the condemnation of REPROACH .

What the “suthorities” are suggesting is that words that are spelled similarly (spelling is a recent convention) are likely related -- logic be damned.  And we should all keep in mind that spelling is a recent convention. And correct English spelling is notoriously dum, I mean dumb.

The Amer. Her. Dict. has all three ROACHES (but not the bug) coming from Latin prope, near, and the impossibly large White lie called an "Indo-European root” per -1  (base of prepositions of words indicating points of time or space…).

The עבר “OVER” entry covers the ב-ר  Bhet-Resh/BH-R family that our Semitically-challendened scholars are trying to describe.
  חרף   K[H]aRaPH is to reproach (Proverbs 27:11  -- see  “SHARP”).
        חרף       K[H]eRPaH is reproach, shame (Genesis 34:14).

The P-R-CH of "rePROACH" must be reversed to  ח-ר-ף  
 Het-Resh-Phey/K[H]-R-P to see how this word was “confused.”
   To ‘re-“ “proach” does not mean to anything near “to come close to once again.”   But this is not the only instance of alleged etymologies making no sense.       

  For the sharp, acrid and cold senses of REPROACH, see the brand new “PICRIC ACID” entry. What? You never heard of picrid acid? Neither did I. PICR(IC   ACID)   K[H]aReeYPH     Het-Resh-Yod- Phey
Khah-REEF                 _ חריף                       [KPK]
ROOTS:  The off-tasting, hypothethical  IE “root” of PICR-  and  PICRO- words is peig -1,  also peik (to cut,  mark by incision).  The non-fiction root is Greek pikros, sharp, bitter.

This is an M213 metathesis of  חריף  K[H]aReeYPH, sharp, bitter, pungent.
This popular Israeli food word comes from the Arabic, but the pedigree is Edenic.

Aramaic and Syriac  חריף  K[H]aReeYPH, sharp,  pungent is both related to the  1) acridity of REPROACH  (,  חרפה  K[H]eRPaH of Genesis 34:14) , and the sharp, bitterness of winter (Genesis 8:22, Isaiah 18:6 – see “HIBERNATE”). Yes, French hiver, winter, is a scrambled form of [K]HoaRePH, winter.

Only a sleeping bear can not hear HIBERnate and hiver,but only you Edenics readers can know what they mean and why tthey mean it.   חרף   K[H] aRaPH is to reproach (see  “REPROACH”  and  “SHARP”).
חרב  חלף   For related, literally  sharp-edged words like חרב [K]HeReBH (sword) – see  “CARVE” and “HARROW.” BRANCHES: Examples of a  PICR- words besides PICRIC ACID include POICRATE and PICROTOXIN.  If you are not Hispanic, Middle Eastern, etc. you can see why    חריף  K[H]aReeYPH  (sharp, bitter, pungent)  can be  a “mild burning” sensation.  That is,  חרה K[H]aRaH (to burn – see “CHAR”) plus  רפה  RaPHaH (to be weak/.

Slavic “bitter words seem to register that burning taste, with Czech horki, Polish gorzki and Russian gorki. --------------
