(FROM THE " DIRECTION" ENTRY):
All roads led from Babel Below is a chart of selected paths taken by DeReKH: דרך (way, road, path, direction/director …):
Any bible concordance will confirm that דרך Dalet-Resh-Kahf has all the meanings below. Here is an example of what happened to Edenic DeReKH ד ר ך – Dalet-Resh-Khaf. You’ll see that only Dalet-Resh-Khaf (Biblical Hebrew DeReKH) has all the “genes” for the global diversity of its Tower-of-Babel spin-offs.
Following is a chart of selected paths taken by DeReKH: דרך (way, road, path, direction/director). Any bible concordance will confirm that דרך Dalet-Resh-Kahf has all the meanings below and all the “genes” for the global diversity of its Tower-of-Babel spin-offs. Here is an example of what happened to Edenic DeReKH ד ר ך – Dalet-Resh-Khaf.
1) Dalet: D and T are “dentals” or the interchangeable tooth-made letters. 2) Resh: R and L are “liquids” or the interchangeable tongue-made letters. 3) Khaf: G, H, K, Q are “gutturals” or the interchangeable throat-made letters.

This list had to be kept short. Otherwise it could run into related terms like דרך DaRahKH, to tred, which would lead to the Greek source of TRUCK and TRUDGE, and Irish troigh (feet), and so on…
Forms of דרך DeReKH, like the M132 Turkish dogru (straight), and the Tibetan M312 kah-too-la (directly) were left out in favor of only those in perfect dental-liquid-guttural sequence. (Or the reverse.) Most European languages have a form of DIRECTOR. In Afrikaans it is direkteur. The Arabic director, mudir, has lost an end-guttural. The מדריך Ma’DReeYCH (guide, leader) gives the DIRECTIONS.
The Basque, Korean, Kurdish and Lithuanian could reflect the liquid-guttural sub-root of דרך DaReKH, seen in לך LaiKH ! (go!). Note: The Albanian "way, road" is missing a dental (D,T). But it appears that they had and dropped that D. Albanian, straight is drejt, and a course is drejtim. Other imperfect but notable entries include Italian DiReZione (route, trend), German RiCHTung (route, trend, way... source of RIGHT) and “directory” words like Albanian Drejtori, Italian DiRezione, Manx oRDaGH and Malay aRaH (matching Indonesian aRaH, course). Samoan auaLa lacks a pronounced dental and guttural, but it means path, road, street, and way. It is but a liquid shift from the Tamil below. Italian inDiCaRe (to direct or INDICATE) cannot claim the liquid (L,R) because of the suffix -re. A RUT is a track, but dictionaries ROUTINELY give “etymology uncertain” rather than do some real TRACKING.
