| CUT QaTSaTS Koof-Tsadi-Tsadi Cut-TSAHTS__________קצץ___________[K-T] ROOTS: Icelandic kuta (to cut with a knife) represents one of the oldest KT cut words. There's Latin caedere (to cut), but somehow there is no Indo-European alleged “root.” Edenic has many guttural-dental CUTTERS. גדד GaDaD is to cut off (Daniel 4:11). גזהGaZaH is to cut (there’s a ד-ז Daled/D-Zayin/Z link via Aramaic). Both Gimel-Dalet-Ayin and Koof-Tet-Ayin, גדע GaD[A]h (Isaiah 9:9) and קטע QaDT[A], mean (to cut off).
חטבK[H]oDTa[V] (to cut, hew - Deuteronomy 29:10). ח-צ Het-Tsadi cutters include חצב K]HaTSaBH (to hew out),חצד [K]HaTSaD (to harvest), חצה [K]HaTSaH (to divide in two, separate, partition, halve - Exodus 21: 35)), חצי [K]HaTSeeY (half – Exodus 24:6) and the arrow, חץ [K]HaiTS (see “HASTATE”).
חתך K[H]aTahKH (to cut). Aramaic כת KahT is a sect, a special group cut away from others. The guttural-Ayin and Tet, עט GHaiDT (stylus, pen – Psalms 45:2) also has the sound and sense of cutting, though the cutting is finer. Cutters with a Koof begin with קדד QaDaD and קדח QaDa[K]H, to cut, drill; and קטם QaDTaM, to cut off, lop off (in Syriac-Aramaic).
קוט QOODT (Job 8:4) is another “cut off” verb. קטן QaDTaN is small, as if cut down to size. קטף QaDTahF is to pluck or crop off (Deuteronomy 23:26). קצ Koof-Tsadi is especially sharp. קוץ QOATS is a thorn (Genesis 3:18). קץ QaiTS means “the end or limit” (see “COAST”) because it is the CUT OFF point in space or time. קוץ QOATS (waking) also can mean the end of a dream transmission.
Following subroots let you follow Biblical lead-words and leitmotifs, as when two years in prison end (with קץ) for Joseph in Genesis 41:1 when Pharaoh dreams… and wakes (also with קץ) three verses later.
Sound-alikes קצבQaTSahBH (II Kings 6:6) and קצף QaTSahF (mean “to cut off,” while the later is about anger or reaching the end of one’s patience. קצה
QeeTSaH (is a fatal cutting off -- II Kings10:32). קצע QeeTSay[A]h (to trim), קצץ QaTSaTS (Deuteronomy 25:12) and קצר QaTSeR (cut down, harvest – Leviticus 23:10) all involve cutting off ends. קצץ QaTaTS is also about deciding. So a קצין QaTSeeYN (decider, captain – Judges 1:6) is supposed to cut off or end controversies.
Arabic qadda is “he cut lengthwise.” Syriac has similar QD cutters. Arabic qasa (he cut, clipped) and Akkadian qasasu (to hew or cut off).
The built-in antonym, that which is whole and uncut, is אחד EK[H]aD (one), also a guttural-dental – see “EACH” and “ACUTE.” If Edenic was designed by a supra-human intelligence, and not evolved from apes and shaped by usage…then why so much unnecessary duplication with all these guttural-dental cutters? The answer is in the sub-roots. For example, קצף QaTSaPH (to cut or pluck off; a splinter or fragment of wood, etc – Hosea 10:7) is different than קצץ QaTSaTS (to cut into pieces – Exodus 39:3).
קצף QaTSahPH, is a cutting at the TOP, from the 2nd, צ-ף Tasdi-Pey sub-root. צפה TSaPHaH is to cover, overlay, coat, float above… in other words: TOP. See “TOP.” BRANCHES: DEICIDE, HOMICIDE and SUICIDE are from Latin caedere (to cut down, kill).קטל QaDTaL (to kill) is a "cut" word by family association. קדדQaDaD (to cut off) sounds closest to the Latin. SCYTHE and Chinese t'ao k'o (reversed KT, meaning to cut or carve) relate here.
CUTE, CUTICLE and ACUTE are elsewhere linked to sharp terms like חד K[H]ahD (sharp, thin), but they also relate to קטQahDT (small, tiny) as in CUT OFF or CUT DOWN – see “KITTEN.”
Japanese chuto de (halfway) matches theח-צ Het-Tsadi half words above. Reversed Japanese cutters, TG words include: togarasu (to sharpen), togatta, sharp, toge (thorn) and togu, to sharpen and grind (see “TALCUM”). Italian "cut" is tagliare.
Dental-guttural “axe” words include Korean doki (axe) and Easter Island (Polynesian) toki (axe).
An example of the many hidden KT cuters is Spanish escamondar (to trim, cut off, prune). It is both an M132 metathesis and a nasalization of Edenic cutters like: קדם QaDaM (to lop off – see above), and קטן QaDTaN (made small – Amos 8:5).
Writing once meant cutting into stone or clay, so thatכתיבה KiTeeYBHaH (writing, manuscript) is an extension of CUT. עטGHaiDT is a writing stylus (another cutter – Isaiah 13:20). Writings were first cuttings, so writing isכתב KTaBH. In Exodus 34:1, the writing on the stone tablets were certainly cut. In Exodus 32:32 the כתב Kaph-Tahf-Bhet term refers to a written book. A book is also a KTB term in Arabic, Farsi, Indonesian, Swahili and Turkish. The Japanese Kotoba (word, language) is beyond the range of a borrowing from Semitic. The sound and sense of guttural-dental cutting, or KT reversed, is quite widespread.
QUOTE is said to be from Latin quot, how, a cognate of words like “quantity.” With the U and V confusion, and an M132 metathesis, QUOTE could be from כתב KTa[V], text or writ. Cutters like the AX, AXE and ADZE or Greek axine (axe) are merely KahTS à aK(T)S variants of the Hebrew guttural-dental cutters above, that came via Aramaicחצינא [K]HaTSeeYNAh (ax) or Akkadian hasinnu (ax) ,
Our guttural-dental family all involved cuts or ends – we cut off ends. Rabbi Lt. Col. Yehoshua Steinberg.derives the Rabbinic word GeT (a divorce) from the קט Koof-Tet K-T term seen in Psalms 95:10. A divorce is also a cutting and an ending.
CUT is the same in Danish and Maltese, slightly changed to cott in Norwegian and cắt in Vietnamese. French couteau is a knife. K-T cutters include: Bangla kaata, Hindi katauti and Swahili kata. See "CURT," SAXON" and "SUICIDE." Botanical cutters are at “ACACIA.” -------------------Archived posts, Edenics searches + web games: http://www.edenics.net/
