    Sabian Symbols The first theme concerns PHYSICAL INFIRMITIES, DISABILITIES, and INJURIES. The word drill is one of several derivatives of the IE root tere-1, “to rub, turn.” One its paronyms is atresia which is “the absence or closure of a normal body orifice or tubular passage such as the anus, intestine, or external ear canal.” Another paronym is trauma which means “a serious injury or shock to the body, as from violence or an accident.” As an adjective game means “crippled; lame” and its origin is unknown. The meaning of cricket implied in this symbol, is “an outdoor game played with bats, a ball, and wickets by two teams of 11 players each.” The word itself descends from the IE root g(e)r-2 which means “curving, crooked.” Paronyms include cramp, cripple, and crutch. A second theme concerns the dichotomy of JOY and PAIN. One of the definitions of game is “a competitive activity or sport in which players contend with each other according to a set of rule”, e.g. a game of basketball. This meaning can be traced back to the Old English gamen which means “joy, fun, amusement.” The paronyms of drill include contrition which means “sincere remorse for wrongdoing; repentance.” Remorse is “moral anguish arising from repentance for past misdeeds; bitter regret” and its synonyms include contrition and pain. A third theme concerns FOOD. Among the paronyms of drill are trout and dredge (to coat food by sprinkling with a powder, such as flour or sugar). The paronyms of oil include olive, olive oil, latke (a pancake, especially one made of grated potato). The paronyms of cricket include grape, crumpet (a small flat round of bread, baked on a griddle and usually served toasted), and cruller (a small, usually ring-shaped or twisted cake of sweet dough fried in deep fat). A fourth theme concerns CURVES. One of the paronyms of drill is contour, one definition of which is “a surface, especially of a curving form.” Recall that the root of cricket is ger-2 which means “curving, crooked.” One of its paronyms is curl. Finally, we might note that another paronym of drill is the word throw. And while the game of cricket involves launching a ball at a batsman, the ball is bowled, not thrown. The difference is not trivial: throwing in cricket has a very specific definition and it is very much against the rules of the game.
