GREEK from EDENIC (Pre-Hebrew) -- Part I of II
Several score Greek-from-Edenic matches are
within the E-Word Digital Dict. and not yet listed below.
The leading contributor here was Regina
Werling [RW]
Note: Greek TH may come from Shin/SH or
Tet/DT, not simply a ת Thaf.
KEY:
1.
< indicates origin in Edenic, the ultimate
source of other given roots
2. Upper Case letters are root letters; lower
case letters aid pronunciation; bolding for focus.
3. a [bracketed]
English word at the end points to an appropriate entry in the E-WORD: Edenics Digital
dictionary.
At entries are
full etymologies, other global cognates, and a Biblical citation (unless the
Edenic word is Semitic, but not in the Bible.]
Letter Shift Codes A menorah of
only 7 sounds, as all music is from 7 notes

S = letter shifts: [all vowels are interchangeable,

3rd, then 2nd root then 2nd consonant letter
of the Edenic root.
ß = reverse
the (root letters of) the Edenic source word
B =
a borrowing from
another modern language
