The verb know is related to the word body in Semitic

In order to understand Sumerian we have to go back 6000 years and reinvent the first human
clothes. The animal skin that was often used to cover a naked body became suddenly
cumbersome. The invention of Sumerian tongue coincides with climate warming, the
disappearance of ice sheets covering Europe and sia, the invention of animal husbandry and
farming. The greatest shock that humans e!perienced at the end of the last ice age was the
unbearable hot sun. "onse#uently they had to use te!tiles or much lighter skin to cover the
most sensitive parts of the human body. It meant they had to go in public almost naked or
very lightly dressed.
This is the reason why the name of the word know, shame, $the fall of man who got to know
the female body and fell from grace% derived from the name body in Semitic.
