Etymology for the Name Dyaus(concept)

 jwr47 

In west-European languages the etymology of words seems to follow a common philosophy, whichhas not been analyzed till today.

Strange patterns hae been obsered in the ego-pronouns, which seem to be deried from the s!y-correlating god"s name. #or instance the $roencal ego-pronoun %ieu& seems to be related to thediine name %'ieu&, which had been deried from %'yaus&.

In the concept for the (istory of the Ego-pronouns" Etymology a s!etch for the design of the s!y-god"s name 'yaus may start with a series of owels, which obiously concentrates on 'yaus" core%yau&.

)he triad %I-*-+& had been the archaic owel core for many words, which needed to be etendedfor other languages such as *!!adian %I-*-E-+&, atin %I-*-E--+& and /ree! %I*E(01&, inwhich the %I& has been located at the beginning for its dominant character. *lthough een earlyalphabets used the owel %E& it symbolically may hae been e2uialent to %I&. Symbolically allowel sets may be reduced to I-*-+. )he %0& is a special case, which may need some further analysis.

)his paper concentrates on the owel-core %yau& and its relations to other releant symbols.

Dyaus' Vowel-Core YAU

)he three-letter owel core %yau& of the name for the $IE-god 'yaus belongs to an early phase for the ego-pronouns" etymology. *t that eolutionary phase alphabet merely contained a set of threeowels 0, * and +.

#rom udwig S3tterlin

 we !now the three owels *, I, + 5or to be more precise *, I, 16 had been belieed to be the original owels. ater they had been to be etended by E and to form theoman *EI+ owel-group. In the oman alphabet the E had been inserted between * and I,whereas the the had been inserted between I and +. )he cuneiform *!!adian alphabet used 4owels8 *, E, I, +9.

Greek Vowels

In /ree! the owels een epanded to alphabetically ordered *E(I01 occasionally re-arrangedas :;1<=>?@. )he reason why so many diine names such as :;1, :;1<=>?, :;1<=>? startwith the same string :;1 is the sacredness of the first triad :;14.

/ree! initially too! oer all of the 99 letters of $hoenician. #ie of them werereassigned to denote owel sounds8 the glide consonants AjA 5 yodh6 and AwA 5waw6 wereused for BiC 5:, iota6 and BuC 5=, upsilon6 respectielyD the  glottal stop  consonant AA5aleph6 was used for BaC 5;, alpha6D the pharyngeal AFA 5!ayin6 was turned into BoC 5<,omicron6D and the letter for AhA 5he6 was turned into BeC 5?, epsilon6. * doublet of wawwas also borrowed as a consonant for BwC 5G, digamma6. In addition, the $hoenicianletter for the emphatic glottal AHA 5heth6 was borrowed in two different functions bydifferent dialects of /ree!8 as a letter for AhA 5>, heta6 by those dialects that had such asound, and as an additional owel letter for the long AJA 5>, eta6 by those dialects thatlac!ed the consonant. Eentually, a seenth owel letter for the long AKJA 51, omega6

was introduced

L

.

The Greek alphabet's structure

In /ree! the alphabet has been designed for more or less symmetrical distribution of the owelsM. Inits classical and modern forms, the alphabet has 94 letters, ordered from alpha to omega8

Α Β Γ Δ Ε ! "  Η  # $ %  & ' * + , - . / 0 1 2 3 4 5  9 @ 4 L M 7 N O P 9 @ 4 L M 7 N O 9P 9 99 9@ 94

*lpha 5*6 is the first letter of the /ree! alphabet. Iota 5:, :QR6 is the ninth letter of the /ree! alphabet. mega 516 is the 94th and last letter of the /ree! alphabet.

6o7h

0odh 5also spelled 0ud, 0od, Wod, or Wodh6 is the tenth letter of many Semitic alphabets, including$hoenician. In Vlassical /ree! , the letter 5 was called  5[6, whereas the omicron was called ou

5\]6. 0ud is a mater lectionis, li!e *leph, (e, and Ta.

)wo 0uds in a row designate the name of /od *donai. 0ud is a mater lectionis, li!e *leph, (e, andTa. *s 0ud is the smallest letter, much !abbalistic and mystical significance is attached to it7.

)he $hoenician letter gae rise to the /ree!   Iota  5:6, atin  I, W, Vyrillic  ^, _,  Voptic  iauda  and/othic eis.

Symbolically the ery name 8au7a of the Voptic e2uialent letter for 0od also includes the root 8au just as the 6u7 also includes 9:.

Some alphabets used different characters for long owels, such as the /ree! system8

*ncient /ree!  also had distinct owel signs, but only for some long owelsD the owelletters '  5eta6 and $  5omega6 originally represented long forms of the owelsrepresented by the letters   5epsilon6 and %  5omicron  - literally `small o`, by contrastwith omega or `large o`6. )he other owel letters of *ncient /ree!, # 5alpha6, * 5iota6and & 5upsilon6, could represent either short or long owel phonesN.

)he atin alphabet used the same fie characters 5*-E-I--+6 for long BaJ eJ iJ oJ uJC and short Ba e io uC owels, mar!ing four long owels 5* E +6 with an ape 5    T6 and the primary specialfifth 50od6 by a special character, the long i-owel8

Planetary restrictions

)he planetary model had to be adjusted to the !nowledge at the time and was to be adapted fromtime to time, depending on new discoeries in the planetary system.

/enerally aboe the moon"s leel the planetary objects according to *ristotle had been considered

as gods. )his idea may hae been settled at early ages.)he stars and planets were carried around the Earth on spheres or circles, arranged in the order 5outwards from the center68 Xoon, Sun, Tenus, Xercury, Xars, Wupiter , Saturn, fied stars, with thefied stars located on the celestial sphere@. If this se2uence were to be mapped on the owels wewould hae8 Xoon Y *, Sun Y E, Tenus Y (, Xercury Y I, Xars Y , Wupiter  Y +A0, Saturn Y 1.

he Otolema8c or7er

)he $tolemaic order of spheres from Earth outward is8 Xoon, Xercury, Tenus, Sun, Xars, Wupiter ,Saturn, #ied Stars and the  Primum o/ile  5%#irst Xoed&6. )he $tolemaic order follows thealphabetic order PE=9>65 in Xoon Y *, Xercury Y E, Tenus Y (, Sun Y I, Xars Y , Wupiter  Y+A0 en Saturn Y 1, in which the Xoon 5*6, Tenus 5(6, Xars 56, Wupiter 5+A06 and Saturn 516remain unaltered. )he planet"s names had been chosen to name the days of the wee! 8 Sunday 5Sun -I6, Xonday 5Xoon - *6, )uesday 5Xars - 6, ednesday 5Xercury - E6, )hursday 5Wupiter - +A06,#riday 5Tenus - (6, Saturday 5Saturn Z 164, resulting in I-*--E-0-(-1.

oth systems are different in their ordering se2uence for Xercury and Tenus. Xercury and Tenusare isible only in twilight hours as their orbits are interior to the Earth"s orbit. )he third brightestobject in the s!y, Tenus is the most prominent planet. Xercury is more difficult to see due to its

 proimity to the SunL.

8maeus

*ccording to $lato"s )imaeus Z the orrery $Α5*1"Ε 5WehoaM6 included a L-%swiftness&-system9P5>6, represented by the fie basic owels 9Q PQ 5Q >Q 6.

oth inner planets 5Xercury and Tenus, owels E respectiely =6 are additional elements, whichdidn"t play a substantial role in the fundamental laws of harmony, because their planetary periodseemed to be more or less synchronous to the earth"s oscillation period. )herefore Xercury5(ermes6 x Tenus 5*phrodite6 occupy illegal positions in the pedigree Saturn 5ronos6 - 1 Wupiter 5eus6 - +A0 Xars 5*res6 - .

)he Sun, the Xoon, Saturn 5ronos6, Wupiter 5eus6, Xars 5*res6 were represented by $Α56>,which initially Z before the birth of eus - originated as the )rigrammaton $Α5RS representing the

archaic triad Sun, the Xoon and Saturn. Xars had been considered as a child of Wupiter and agrandchild of Saturn.

Etensions probably had been necessary by the discoery of new planets. Each owel belonged to a planet and each newly discoered planet re2uired the inention of a new owel to !eep thehistorical concept alie.

 Uow if the sun and the moon echanged their symbolic positions in the archaic )riad I-*-1 weshould also switch positions inside the s!y-god"s name 'yaus.

riginally with the moon as the principal deity the core string had to be *-I-1 implemented in de

deity Da8us94

, whereas for the sun as the principal deity the core-string had to be I-*-1, resulting ina diine name D8aus.

In this model 'aius may hae deeloped to Deus, whereas 'iaus eoled to Dyaus.

The archaic Triad IAΩ / IAU 

'yaus started with the subset 0*+ and for this reason the original I, *, +-subset for the omanalphabet seemed to be correct. In /ree! I*1 also is one of the translations for 0((, whichsuggests a symbolic e2uialence between + and 1.

Demetr8us of Ohalerum (c ]^ _WE ` c Z _WE)

)he symbolism of a series of owel may be understood by 'emetrius of $halerum who 5as theattributed author6 is said to hae documented9L8

In Egypt the priests, when singing hymns in praise of the gods, employ the seen owels,which they utter in due succession D and the sound of these letters is so euphonious that menlisten to it in preference to flute and lyre. 9M

*nd to follow 'emetrius the original hymn may hae started with three owels, which had to be

sung euphoniously in due succession. )he due succession is well !nown as :-;-1, because the %I&had been the leading and initial character in philosophy. )he %I& had to be followed by the *lphaand 1 as the beginning respectiely end of the alphabet.

)he I*1- respectiely I*+-concept also may be confirmed by the assignment of the planets sun tothe letter %I&, the moon to the letter %*&, Xars to %&, Wupiter to %+& and Saturn to the letter %1&.

f course this is ancient philosophy, but the se2uence of discoering new planets may correlate tothe introduction of the owels. )he most obious %planets& to be found at the s!y are the sun andthe moon, which had been assigned to the %I& and the %*&.

)hese eplanations for the owels only had been recorded in written documentation, which had

 been enriched with reliable owel information.

he letter 6 as <onus [e78us

)he first owel %0& inside %'yaus& may need some eplanations.

* owel %similar to the /ree! letter 0& belonged to the Vlaudian letters, which had been designed by the oman Emperor Vlaudius 5reigned 4ZL46. Vlaudius as a censor introduced three new Z described as greatly needed  - letters to the atin alphabet. )hese letters were used to a small etenton public inscriptions dating from Vlaudius" reign, but their use was abandoned after his death.

+nfortunately Vlaudius" boo! may hae been lost or slumbers in one of the secret and sacredarchies...

)herefore symbolically some of the 0-letters may hae be considered as a I+-abbreiation. *nd incase the I had been a male and the + a female symbol the 0 had to be considered as an androgynoussymbol, which no other singular character had been fulfilling up till Vlaudius felt his duty tosuggest the introduction of the as a sonus medius.

In this case howeer no %e& or %o& had been discoered in the old $ersian cuneiform `syllabary&. In

fact the %e& and %y& had collapsed into the %i&, the %o& probably in %u& and the %h& into %a&.)he *!!adian alphabet howeer used four owels8 %I-*-E-+& @L, the atin alphabet fie %I-*-E--+& and the /ree! alphabet seen8 %I-*--E-0-(-1&.

 Adam as an e!o-"ronoun

In modern language the fre2uency of ego- and you-pronoun is relatiely high and deteriorationwould 2uic!ly reduce the words to minimal length. )he old $ersian pronouns *dam, mvm and tuaare relatiely long and seem to be relatiely young at that time.

$e is found as %&$a( 

In the absence of %e&-owels I chec!ed the word for Ee 5%life&, %liing&6 and I found this word inthe library by searching for %life&8

Ego-pronouns such as Sardinian 'É+ are corresponding to the diine name 'È+. )he majority of all modern ego-pronouns consists of owel combinations or scattered parts of the names of a s!y-god 'yaus or its deriaties such as 'eus and eus.

Deter8orat8on of the egobpronouns

)he ego-pronouns belong to the most fre2uently used words and tend to deteriorate towards singleowel ersions in busy and densely populated trading areas 5such as England, Uorway, Tenice,

The !o-Pronoun Anomaly at Chur ,

* significant anomaly of the ego-pronouns ieu, jau, iou, eau and ih 5and the corresponding diinenames6 may be identified in neighborhood of the Swiss city of Whur, which is located at the

 bifurcation of the young rier hine.

. *t the west side of Vhur the ego-pronouns deelop an %IE+&-branch and southwestwardspread to the $roence and ccitania, transforming to %WE& westward to $aris and as %I& toEngland.

9. Uorth of Vhur the ego-pronouns deelop an %I(5(6&-branch and transform to Ich and Ic.

@. South of Vhur the ego-pronouns deelop an %I+&-branch, transforming at the center of theI-territory to %I& and to %I& at Uaples, respectiely %I+& in Sicily.

4. East of Vhur the ego-pronouns deelop an %W*+&-branch, transforming to the Slaic %W*&,respectiely southwards to the Xacedonian ariant W*V 5 W*S6.

Vhur is well-!nown for the first episcopal center at the northern side of the *lps, where the

‘ieuAje%-, the ‘iauAja%-, ‘iouAio%- and the ‘ihhAih%-branch deeloped4P

.If we allow the newly generated owels to collapse to their original triad-structure I-*-+ the Ego-$ronoun *nomaly at Vhur loses its compleity.

In fact all ego-pronouns 5iau, ieu, iou and ih6 around Vhur reduce to their archaic iau-structure,which in a reordered form also has been found in Wa 5old-$ersian for8 %Ee&6.

Dyaus' Consonants %D( and %.( 

IDJ K D8H8s8onQ Dual8ty

)he letter %'& may hae been connected to the creation legend, as the world"s creation had been

closely connected to the creation of words and language. )he initial word was the diine name8In the beginning was the ord, and the ord was with /od, and the ord was /od4.

)he creation started with a series of diisions, in which the first diisions had been the diision of heaens and earth, light and dar!ness.

In the beginning /od created the heaens and the earth. Uow the earth was formless and empty, dar!ness was oer the surface of the deep, andthe Spirit of /od was hoering oer the waters.*nd /od said, `et there be light,` and there was light./od saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the dar!ness.

Splitting up anything into parts also generates a twofold structure. Etymologically the number %)wo& always seems to be starting with a consonant %)& 5 )wo6 or %'& 5 'uo6. )he number two itself had been considered bad for its negatie character in diorces and brea!ing unity. )hecreation process howeer re2uired the generation of duality in structures.

)he %'& may refer to the %'iision& or %'uality& of the creation process. In analogy the ) may alsohae been indicating the twoold   character of )uisto, which already had been discoered byac!ernagel and described by Wacob /rimm 5in the appendi to his boo! /erman mythology6.

I<J K <ynthes8s (j)

In contrast the trailing consonant %S& may symbolize the reunification and synthesis of the split-upelements. )his of course is a thesis, which must be considered unproen yet.

In this case the %'&- 5diision6 and %S&-letters 5synthesis6 had been considered as antipodes.

$er$iew 

In the course of studying the ego-pronouns I discoered the cuneiform old-$ersian ego-pronoun%a7am&, which directly correlated $ersian  %mn&, the )ur!ish ego-pronoun ariants %&, tothe creation legend in which the first %man& *dam had been created. 'ue to its ocal similarity theSans!rit ego-pronoun aham49 may be correlating to %adam& and to the creation legend as well.

I interpreted European ego-pronouns such as the singular letter Ueapolitan, Uors! and Englishowels %8&, ycliffe"s %6&, the Scottish, Tenetian %a&, the Icelandic %e&, the *lbanian %u& and the'anish %& as deteriorated ersions of the long ariants li!e the $roencal 8eu, the Wauers" au, theXacedonian ac (as), the Italic 8ou and the /erman 8h, which in shortened ersions are !nown as#rench % e&, Slaic % a& and Italian %8o& or Spanish %yo&.

)hese ego-pronouns all seemed to correlate to the creation legend in which a first human being*dam or Xan, had been created as an image %yau& 5the basic ego-pronoun6 of the diine creator,the s!y-god %'yaus&.
