TALL TaLOOL Tahf-Lamed-Vav-Lamed
TALL-ool תלול [TLL]
ROOTS: Falling short once again, the best our dictionaries can offer for TALL (high in stature) is Middle English tal (dexterous, seemly) and Anglo-Saxon getoel (swift, prompt).
The AHD adds to this tall tale with the IE “root” del-2 (to recount, count), making TALL a cognate of TALK and TALE. The ATLAS MOUNTAINS are neither short nor talkative.
The usual Latin Lovers are silent about altus (high…tall). Without Edenics and its vast proof of reversible words there is no way ALTO (tall) is TL reversed. The Italian musical term ALTO means "high" not, tall, but you will see much proof here that dental-liquid or liquid-dental is the sound of height.
תלול TaLOOL is "towering" in the "tall towering mountain" of Ezekiel 17:22. תל TeL is a height, hill or heap (Deut. 13:17). תל אביב Tel Aviv means "the hill of spring." The archeological mounds left from ruined ancient cities are a תל TaiL, TEL in English. Towers are towering, see the related ת-ר Tahf-Resh words at “TOWER.”
תלמי TALMI is an Anakite giant in Numbers 13:22 and Joshua 15:14.
The TL designed opposite of a tall or heaped-up mound is the underground תלםTeLeM, furrow, trench (Psalms 65:11). Other engineered dental-liquid opposites are צלל TSaLaL, to sink, settle to the bottom [TEAL], and דלה DaLaH, hanging down [TAIL]. Other drooping or suspended dental-liquid words are at “ATLAS.”
Liquid-dental opposites in sub-roots include ירד YaRahD, to descend, decline [ROOT].
BRANCHES: ALT, ALTO (high singing) and ALTITUDE (height above sea level) are currently thought to be cognates of OLD, German alt is old. The older child or cornstalk is the TALLER one. But instead of having an IE "root" for TALL, and discovering that synonyms can be reversals, the above words are fled under the absurd "root" al-3 (to grow, nourish). This may be just another case of academic dullness, or people smart enough to know that reversals are neurological, as if from a Tower of Babel incident. This doesn’t fit Historical Linguistics, and the whole house of cards, tenure and govt. funding to turn America Marxist could all come crashing down. Better to just feed the naïve masses something inane. The clowns in caps and gowns know that they are the high priests of Western “culture.” They can impress with some jargon, and get away with wild fabrications.
We’ll start to build a tall tower of TL/LT “high” words. Please add bricks from your languages.
