PINK eye shadow or “kohl” is the פוך POOKH of II Kings 9:30.
Nasalize (extra N) POOKH to get PINK. Ancient Semitic women were painting cosmetics
before the cave-painters of France.
Not nasalized, פוך POOKH is likely the bilabial-guttural or lip-throat source of PICTURE, dePICT and the PICTS (the legal, indigenous people of Britain… who were named
for painting their faces, and who ethnically cleansed by the savage Saxon
settler-occupiers.)
This rejection of theoretical “Indo-European root” peik (to cut
or mark by incision) for PINK is among the mildest EMeTologies in Edenics. It
presents stronger history, and established linguistics. Nonetheless, establishment
historical linguists and language experts like Stephen Pinker
(The Language Instinct, 1994) probably see RED when their applecart is overturned.
Seeing RED or reddish is
how some cultures see PINK. RED is ROSY in Semitic. ורדא VaRDa is a rose in Aramaic.
Arabic wardiyy
is rose-colored; pink is وردي waradi. These authenticate Mishnaic Hebrew (see “pink” at “PICTURE.” ורד VeReD or WeReD is a rose and
ורד VaRoaD is rosy red in Mishnaic Hebrew, ורדינון VaRDeeYNOON is rose oil in the Jerusalem
Talmud .
It
seems unlikely that Indo-European (IE) RED words are from Greek erythrós.
In fact, German Röte (red, blush,
glow, ruddiness) smells of rosiness.
A
world survey proves that PINK is ROSY:

In a dozen languages, especially Dravidian (southern
India), “pink” is a GLB word ( Hindi गुलाब gulaab is a rose;गुलाबी gulaabee means pink ). This
only strengthens the theory that “pink” developed from “rose…rosy” words. If there is a PK word for PINK, it must come
from a specific, borrowed PINK substance…like Semitic eye shadow worn by Jezebel.
