Introduction
Vowels have been recognized as the sacred symbols in Indo-European and other languages. In her paper The Mystery of the Seven Vowels (1991) Joscelyn Godwin correctly describes various religious symbols hidden in the vowels of ancient languages 1. The number of vowels may vary between three (I, A, U), five (I, A, U, E, O) or seven (I, A, U, E, AE, O, OO), or even more. The most important conclusion is the analysis of the divine name, which seems to have been designed as a set of pure vowels. Godwin quotes the most interesting series listed by Godfrey Higgins in the one-vowel name I, the two-vowel name IE / EI on the sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi, the three-vowel name lAO, the fourvowel name IEVE, in which U and V are equivalent and the multi-vowel name JEHOVA . The "unpronounceable Name - IHVH" was the vowel combination IAOUE. Not pronounced, but breathed. That is uttered without closing the mouth. Its Latinised form of course is IAO - YO-WEH, or Jove. In parallel to the divine names (which often start with a consonant D or Th) most of the modern Ego-pronouns2 however are purer series of vowels than the divine names themselves. Many Ego-pronouns are correlating to the corresponding divine Creator names and Joscelyn Godwin's as well as Godfrey Higgins' rule may preferably be applied for the Ego-pronouns instead of the divine names. A closer inspection of the Genesis-objects reveals a more fascinating idea: the vowel-cores for some objects, which have been created at the very first days of Genesis also seem to correlate to the corresponding Ego-pronouns. These correlations seem to indicate a series of words that have been designed according to the creation legend. These correlations may be illustrated by some tables for several Indo-European languages at the following pages. These examples may be extended ad lib and doubtless may other correlations may be found. The correlation is to be added as paradigm 11 in the summary Updating My (10) Paradigms.

Another remarkable observation is a significant correlation between the initially created objects in the creation legend, in which the divine Creator started by creating and splitting up day and night. The following analysis will refer to three objects (day, night, rain) that have been created at the first day (in which the day & night have been split), respectively the second day of the Genesis sequence (in which the rain has been formed):

Genesis Day #1 (creation of the day and the night)

In the beginning God3 created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. Gods Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. God said, Let there be light, and there was light. God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. There was evening and there was morning, one day.

Genesis Day #2 (creation of the rain - waters which were above the expanse)
God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse, and it was so. God called the expanse sky. There was evening and there was morning, a second day. The Wycliffe Bible/Genesis reports4:
1 2

In the bigynnyng God made of nouyt heuene and erthe.

Forsothe the erthe was idel and voide, and derknessis weren on the face of depthe; and the Spiryt of the Lord was borun on the watris.
3 And 4 And 5

God seide, Liyt be maad, and liyt was maad.

God seiy the liyt, that it was good, and he departide the liyt fro derknessis; and he clepide the liyt, dai, and the derknessis, nyyt. And the euentid and morwetid was maad, o daie.
6 And 7 And 8 And

God seide, The firmament be maad in the myddis of watris, and departe watris fro watris. God made the firmament, and departide the watris that weren vndur the firmament fro these watris that weren on the firmament; and it was don so. God clepide the firmament, heuene. And the euentid and morwetid was maad, the secounde dai. In pronunciation spelling of modern English the relevant words (day, night and rain) both contain the Ego-pronoun5 (I, pronounced ay).

3 1:1 After God, the Hebrew has the two letters Aleph Tav (the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet) as a grammatical marker. 4 John Wycliffe organized the first complete translation of the Bible into Middle English in the 1380s. 5 The Ego-pronoun is the personal pronoun of the first person singular (I)

Table 1: Pronunciation Spelling for some initially created objects These correlations suggest the origination of words according to an indo-european or an international creation legend, in which: the divine name10 did consist of a number of (probably sacred) vowels, varying from ay (in English), ag (in German), iu in French), ieu (in Occitan) and ieu in Romansh). In German the vowels may originally have been ai, but I prefer to list the common spelling ag in the sample table. the in Genesis initially created objects (such as the day and the night,as well as the rain) included a number of similar (probably sacred) vowels. In Mediterranean (French, Occitan and Romansh) languages these vowels may have been ordered in a reversed sequence in the words for the night, probably to indicate the negative character of the night's darkness. In French and Occitan the reversed vowel sequence ui respectively uei in the words for rain may also be identified (as negative symbols?). the Man-creature understood himself respectively herself as an image of the Creator-God, which is encoded by applying the same vowel-sequences, such as ieu as an image of Dieu. In Lengadocian Occitan the correlation (ieu as an image of Dieu) may easily be identified as well as in Romansh. (jau as an image of Dieu). In English the correlation may be found in the phonetic equivalence in the Pronunciation Spelling for ay as an image of day. In Indoeuropean languages the words for the Creator God correlate to the words for day, which may lead to the original divine names Day in English and Tag in German.

Table 2: Pronunciation Spelling for some initially created objects A minor correlation exists between day- and night- and rain-words, but better results are achieved by cross-correlations in which the Sicilian Ego-pronoun (iu) is correlated to the Aragonese jurnu (day) or the Latin pluvia (rain), respectively the Spanish Ego-pronoun (yo) is correlated to the Sicilan noite (night).

Table 3: Pronunciation Spelling for some initially created objects Italian includes the ego-pronoun (io) in the Creator's name Dio, Iddio as well as in the word giorno (g-io-rno) for day and in pioggia (p-io-ggia)for rain. In seldom cases languages14 such as Walloon , Belgium will also copy the D from the divine name Diu into the Ego-pronoun, resulting in dji. Walloon seems to refer plouve (rain) to French pluie which cross-correlates to Diu. Djo (day) of course refers to the French words jour (day) and Dieu (God) simultaneously. Catalan is another language cross-correlating to Romanian's Creator Zeu with some fine relations to the corresponding Ego-pronoun eu and Zi (day). Galician also delivers a fine example for the ego-pronoun included in the divine name Deus (D-eus), but fails to evidently refer to the words for day, night and rain.

The Ego-pronoun in Latin and Greek

The Ego-pronoun in Latin and Greek does not meet the specification as setup in Joscelyn Godwin's as well as Godfrey Higgins' rule. Therefore the consonant g in Ego seems to have been evolved from an i. Initially the word Ego may have been designed as eio or eiu, which had been derived from Deios or Theios, respectively Deius or Theius. The replacement of g by i transforms Ego to a genuine series of vowels to meet the Joscelyn Godwin's-Godfrey Higgins' rule of pure vowel-series for the sacred Ego-pronouns. Of course these Ego-pronouns served as the vowel-cores for the divine names, which in contrast to the pronouns needed leading and trailing consonants. As a rule a leading D and a trailing s had to be applied to generate a divine name.

13 For pronouns, the first one given is for the one doing the action (eg: dji magne = I eat), the second, for the one target of the action (eg: avou mi = with me). 14 See for details for an overview of languages: The Hieroglyphs in the Ego-Pronoun

Tuisco and Dis

In Celtic-Germanic languages two of the divine names (Dis and Tuisco) may be correlated to the equivalent names Dieu (French), Dios (Spanish) and Deus (Latin). In Germania Tacitus describes the German Creator-god Tuisco as an earth-related deity and Caesar relates the German Creator-god (Tuisco?) to Dis-Pater, the father of darkness and the underworld15. The name Dis however

Other English words with the sacred vowel-cores

In English other words with the sacred vowel-cores ay may be generated by trying several simple combinations such as: bay, cay, fay, gay, hay, jay, lay, may, nay, pay, quay, ray, say, way. Of course some of these words may have been designed simultaneously along with the previously discussed words day, night and rain, but any sacredness must be considered as speculative. In contrast day and night may be considered as special words, designed as positive elements Day and Night to be created according to the ay-sequence of the Ego-pronoun. In English the Night the ay-sequence of the Ego-pronoun will only be identified in the pronunciation spelling for night.

The reversed symbolism of the iu- and ui-cores

In French however nuit (night) uses a reversed sequence, which must be considered as a negative symbol delivering the proof for the religious symbolism of the iu- and ui-combinations of vowels. This reversed symbolism of the iu- and ui-combinations of vowels may refer to Blavatsky's statement Demon est Deus Inversus 16. According to Blavatsky The evil however is relative it may be good for others: The ancients understood this so well that their philosophers -- now followed by the Kabalists -- defined evil as the lining of God or Good: Demon est Deus inversus, being a very old adage. Indeed, evil is but an antagonizing blind force in nature; it is reaction, opposition, and contrast, -- evil for some, good for others. There is no malum in se: only the shadow of light, without which light could have no existence, even in our perceptions. If evil disappeared, good would disappear along with it from Earth.

Conclusion
Originally the Ego-pronouns have been designed as pure series of vowels. Initially the word Ego may have been designed as eio or eiu, which had been derived from Deios or Theios, respectively Deius or Theius. These Ego-pronouns served as the vowel-cores for the divine names, which in contrast to the pronouns needed leading and trailing consonants. As a rule a leading D and a trailing s had to be applied to generate a divine name. In some languages such as Walloon the D has also been included as a leading character in the Ego-pronoun. The initially in Genesis created objects (such as the day and the night,as well as the rain) included a number of similar (equally sacred) vowels. In English Day and Night may be considered as special words, designed for the Genesis-process as positive elements. Day and Night have been designed to contain the ay-sequence of the Egopronoun. In English the Night the ay-sequence of the Ego-pronoun will only be identified in the pronunciation spelling for night. In Mediterranean (French, Occitan and Romansh) languages the sacred vowels may have been ordered in a reversed sequence (ui instead of iu) in the words (French: nuit) for the night, probably to indicate the negative character of the night's darkness. The evil however is relative and may be good for the opposite side.
