S(H)ATE___________שת_________[S(H)-T]
ROOTS: Old English sittan
(to sit) and Latin sedere
(to sit) are linked to IE “root” sed (to
sit). Man was given a SEAT, שת SHaiT (buttocks - Isaiah 20:4), on which to SIT or
to שת SHahT (place, station,
set - Genesis 41:35) himself. שת SHahT is a SET foundation (Isaiah
19:10) or basis, as is a יסוד Yi$OAD (Leviticus 4:7). סדר $eDeR is
a SET, SETTLED order (Job 10:22), as in the Passover ritual meal, the סדרSaY’DeR or the
prayer book: סדור SiDOOR.
See “SIDEREAL.”
BRANCHES: The cognates of SEAT listed at IE “root” sed include: ASSESS, ASSIDUOUS,
DISSIDENT, ERSATZ, HOSTAGE, OBSESSION, POSSESS, PRESIDE, RESIDE, SADDLE,
SEANCE, SEDATE, SEDENTARY, SEDILIA, SEDIMENT, SEE, SESSION, SETTLE, SEWER (see
below), SIEGE (see “SIEGE”), SITZBATH, SOIL, SOOT, SUBSIDE, SUBSIDY, SUPERCEDE
and SYNIZESIS. The natural link between SITTING down and SETTING down is SET
down in Celtic:
Gaelic
suidhe is sitting, like Old Irish sude , Welsh sedde and Latin
sedes.
Gaelic
suidhe-lair is framework, groundwork. Gaelic suidhich is to lay, SET, arrange, SETTLE the terms of a
house, farm or marriage.
This last usage application will interest those who know
that a שדוך SHiDOOKH is a marriage
arrangement. E.D. Klein of A Comprehensive
Etymological Dictionary of the Hebrew Language thinks שדךSHaDahKH (to
arrange a marriage) is from Aramaic-Syriac terms of soothing and appeasement. Yes, SEDATED means SETTLED, and before Big
Pharm it was easier to see the ties between arranged SETTLEMENT and both SEDATIVE
and SEDATION. But, no, Hebraicists, Mandaic (dialect of Aramaic) שדיכה SHiDeeYKHAh doesn’t mean “rest” like “at
ease,” but “rest” like “all SETTLED, all arranged.” EDK cites Arabic sadika (was quiet, was calm… an M132 metathesis of שקט
SHeQeDT, quiet, calm), since pre-Edenics Hebraists have no clue
that Semitic is also a corruption of Edenic, and that global data from anywhere
helps understand our universal human roots from Eden.
Webster’s derives SEWER and SEWAGE from an invented S-D root meaning “to sit.” See “SEWER.” This doesn’t sit or smell
right. צוא Tsadi-Vav-Aleph in Zechariah 3:3 means “filthy.”
צואה TSoWAH means filth or dung. צאTsadi-Aleph means outgoing, here for
the digestive system (see “EXIT”). The צ-ו Tsadi-Vav provides the S-W of SEWER. Even the ז-ר Zayin-Resh ofזרם ZaRahM (pour – Psalms
77:18 and זרמה ZiRMaH
(emission – Ezekiel 23:20) has better sound and sense as an etymon for SEWER
than sed (to sit). The Amer. Heritage Dict. often has their heads
in the gutter, but their etymology of SEWER does not involve sitting and
expelling waste. Their etymology is merely shoddy: from an invented Vulgar
Latin *exaquaria.
The anatomical SEAT is the
buttocks. One would expect a SEAT
(buttocks)-SIT-SET relationship in the Language of Creation. Not only does the Hebrew Bible not turn to this
root to the sewer, but Adam and Eve’s son, who will SET the foundation of much
of the future is named שת SHaiT (Seth --
Genesis 4:25) A few global “buttocks”
words with fricative-dental include Bulgarian zadaiv, Dutch zitvlak,
Finnish istua and čʰixtš (Chipaya/Bolivia).
