| Popis: | A new work investigating many PIE roots in a whole new way: many of the roots beginning with h2. Some beginning with h1. Many beginning with Dh. As well as the case of Indo-Iranian *mrgas="wild animal, bird" and Germano-Celtic *markos="horse". Nereus etymology solved. Poseidon solved. Ketus solved. Ge/Ga/Gaia solved. And more. 8th version: finally a very accurate version. The 7th vrsion would have been very accurate but I forgot to/didn't have time to add my new etymologies where Dh="force" not "breath", making everything accurate in one sweep. Many revised etymologies, and incorporating the revisions from the 6th version. I have concluded that PIE *howis did refer to the fat rounded plumpness of sheep but did not derive from "full of breath/life-force", rather it had the same kind of semantic origin as Lithuanian "storas" which means "thick, fat" but derives from PIE St="thick, hard, stiff" (and other linked meanings). The word-initial h2 sound in PIE often had the same semantics as word-initial St- and Kr- in PIE. in the 6th version I changed the etymology for PIE *h2ews, "dawn, east" to one that says that the earlier meaning was "bright", because I now accept that h2 was a harsher sound than h1 and I now believe that PIE h2weh1 "to blow (of wind)" derives from a mimicking of the sound of rushing air: so it's onomatopoeic. And now I'm pretty sure that *h2weh1 is not the source of *h2ews, "dawn, east". This version has my new etymology of PIE h2ewis, "bird" which posits that *h2ewis meant "noisy; singer' referring to the vocalizations of various birds. I publish here also my theory that PIE *h2ekweh1 "water" referred to the sound of streaming water. |
