Etymology for the Name Dyaus

Fig. 1: The Old Persian ego-pronoun.


(The word separator is in purple.)
From: Ancient Scripts: Old Persian
In west-European languages the etymology of words seems to follow a common philosophy, which
has not been analyzed till today.
Strange patterns have been observed in the ego-pronouns, which seem to be derived from the skycorrelating god's name. For instance the Provencal ego-pronoun ieu seems to be related to the
divine name Dieu, which had been derived from Dyaus.
In the concept for the History of the Ego-pronouns' Etymology a sketch for the design of the skygod's name Dyaus may start with a series of vowels, which obviously concentrates on Dyaus' core
yau.
The triad I-A-U had been the archaic vowel core for many words, which needed to be extended
for other languages such as Akkadian I-A-E-U, Latin I-A-E-O-U and Greek IAEHOY, in
which the I has been located at the beginning for its dominant character. Although even early
alphabets used the vowel E it symbolically may have been equivalent to I. Symbolically all
vowel sets may be reduced to I-A-U. The Y is a special case, which may need some further
analysis.
This paper concentrates on the vowel-core yau and its relations to other relevant symbols.

Dyaus' Vowel-Core YAU


The three-letter vowel core yau of the name for the PIE-god Dyaus belongs to an early phase for
the ego-pronouns' etymology. At that evolutionary phase alphabet merely contained a set of three
vowels Y, A and U.
From Ludwig Stterlin1 we know the three vowels A, I, U (or to be more precise A, I, ) had been
believed to be the original vowels. Later they had been to be extended by E and O to form the
Roman AEIOU vowel-group. In the Roman alphabet the E had been inserted between A and I,
whereas the the O had been inserted between I and U. The cuneiform Akkadian alphabet used 4
vowels: A, E, I, U2.

Greek Vowels
In Greek the vowels even expanded to alphabetically ordered AEHIOY occasionally re-arranged
as 3. The reason why so many divine names such as , , start
with the same string is the sacredness of the first triad 4.
Greek initially took over all of the 22 letters of Phoenician. Five of them were
reassigned to denote vowel sounds: the glide consonants /j/ (yodh) and /w/ (waw) were
used for [i] (, iota) and [u] (, upsilon) respectively; the glottal stop consonant //
('aleph) was used for [a] (, alpha); the pharyngeal // (ayin) was turned into [o] (,
omicron); and the letter for /h/ (he) was turned into [e] (, epsilon). A doublet of waw
was also borrowed as a consonant for [w] (, digamma). In addition, the Phoenician
letter for the emphatic glottal // (heth) was borrowed in two different functions by
different dialects of Greek: as a letter for /h/ (, heta) by those dialects that had such a
sound, and as an additional vowel letter for the long // (, eta) by those dialects that
lacked the consonant. Eventually, a seventh vowel letter for the long // (, omega)
was introduced5.

The Greek alphabet's structure


In Greek the alphabet has been designed for more or less symmetrical distribution of the vowels 6. In
its classical and modern forms, the alphabet has 24 letters, ordered from alpha to omega:

1 2 3 4 5
6 7
8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
Alpha (A) is the first letter of the Greek alphabet. Iota (, ) is the ninth letter of the Greek
alphabet. Omega () is the 24th and last letter of the Greek alphabet.

6 Archaic Greek alphabets Long and neutral vowels are yellow; Short vowels are blue. Archaic letter are gray.

Yodh
Yodh (also spelled Yud, Yod, Jod, or Jodh) is the tenth letter of many Semitic alphabets, including
Phoenician. In Classical Greek, the letter was called (), whereas the omicron was called ou
(). Yud is a mater lectionis, like Aleph, He, and Vav.
Two Yuds in a row designate the name of God Adonai. Yud is a mater lectionis, like Aleph, He, and
Vav. As Yud is the smallest letter, much kabbalistic and mystical significance is attached to it7.
The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek Iota (), Latin I, J, Cyrillic , , Coptic iauda and
Gothic eis.
Symbolically the very name iauda of the Coptic equivalent letter for Yod also includes the root iau
just as the Yud also includes IU.

Long and Short Vowels


Some alphabets used different characters for long vowels, such as the Greek system:
Ancient Greek also had distinct vowel signs, but only for some long vowels; the vowel
letters (eta) and (omega) originally represented long forms of the vowels
represented by the letters (epsilon) and (omicron - literally "small o", by contrast
with omega or "large o"). The other vowel letters of Ancient Greek, (alpha), (iota)
and (upsilon), could represent either short or long vowel phones8.
The Latin alphabet used the same five characters (A-E-I-O-U) for long [a e i o u] and short [a e i
o u] vowels, marking four long vowels (A E O U) with an apex ( V) and the primary special
fifth (Yod) by a special character, the long i-vowel:
Long i, transcribes a long i-vowel /i/ in Latin. It stands in for the apex used on other the
long vowels: VVV /a e o u/. An example is LVVCIAFILI, which in modern
rendition would be lci a fili, with a macron rather than apex to indicate vowel length.
This special marker may indicate a special position for the Yod, which in the alphabets preferably is
positioned in a central location:

HI in the long vowel setup

respectively EHIO for an all vowels configuration


and in Latin VV9.

As a remarkable observation we may identify as the Greek expression for always, evermore,
forever and (Latin: aeon) as aeon, eon the current world10.

Examples for the symbolism of the vowel E


The vowel E has been documented in various locations:

In the E above the entrance of the Apollo-temple in Delphi11


In the letter E at the Delphic omphalos12
In the letter E in Zeus
In the letter E in Deus
in the letter E in the French ego-pronoun Je and in the Provencal ego-pronoun ieu

Eve = Jva
The symbolism of the E seemed to have been included in the letter i. This thesis may be proved
by the cuneiform "syllabary:

Jva - present active particle; nominative singular masculine <jiva-> 'living' -- 10.236,
10.308

jv - noun; nominative singular feminine <jv-> 'life' -- 7.236

Eve or to be more precise Jva (in old-Persian cuneiform: life) consisted of a Yod and a
concatenated set of I-U-A. The symbolism of modern, newly created vowels such as Y, E, O and H
had to be covered by the archaic vowels. The equivalence of Y I, E I, O U and H A
reduced symbolism by collapsing Zeus to Zius and Deus to Dius or in modern Spanish
Dios Dius.

Eve = a living being


The old-Persian Jva (life) at least correlates to "a living being," from base hawa "he lived"
Eve
fem. proper name, Biblical first woman, Late Latin, from Hebrew Hawwah, literally "a
living being," from base hawa "he lived" (compare Arabic hayya, Aramaic hayyin).

Planetary restrictions
The planetary model had to be adjusted to the knowledge at the time and was to be adapted from
time to time, depending on new discoveries in the planetary system.
Generally above the moon's level the planetary objects according to Aristotle had been considered
as gods. This idea may have been settled at early ages.
The stars and planets were carried around the Earth on spheres or circles, arranged in the order
(outwards from the center): Moon, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, fixed stars, with the
fixed stars located on the celestial sphere13. If this sequence were to be mapped on the vowels we
would have: Moon = A, Sun = E, Venus = H, Mercury = I, Mars = O, Jupiter = U/Y, Saturn = .

The Ptolemaic order


The Ptolemaic order of spheres from Earth outward is: Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn, Fixed Stars and the Primum Mobile (First Moved). The Ptolemaic order follows the
alphabetic order AEHIOY in Moon = A, Mercury = E, Venus = H, Sun = I, Mars = O, Jupiter =
U/Y en Saturn = , in which the Moon (A), Venus (H), Mars (O), Jupiter (U/Y) and Saturn ()
remain unaltered. The planet's names had been chosen to name the days of the week: Sunday (Sun I), Monday (Moon - A), Tuesday (Mars - O), Wednesday (Mercury - E), Thursday (Jupiter - U/Y),
Friday (Venus - H), Saturday (Saturn )14, resulting in I-A-O-E-Y-H-.
Both systems are different in their ordering sequence for Mercury and Venus. Mercury and Venus
are visible only in twilight hours as their orbits are interior to the Earth's orbit. The third brightest
object in the sky, Venus is the most prominent planet. Mercury is more difficult to see due to its
proximity to the Sun15.

Timaeus
According to Plato's Timaeus the orrery (Jehova16) included a 5-swiftness-system
IAOY, represented by the five basic vowels I, A, , O, Y.
Both inner planets (Mercury and Venus, vowels E respectively H) are additional elements, which
didn't play a substantial role in the fundamental laws of harmony, because their planetary period
seemed to be more or less synchronous to the earth's oscillation period. Therefore Mercury
(Hermes) & Venus (Aphrodite) occupy illegal positions in the pedigree Saturn (Kronos) -
Jupiter (Zeus) - U/Y Mars (Ares) - O.
The Sun, the Moon, Saturn (Kronos), Jupiter (Zeus), Mars (Ares) were represented by YO,
which initially before the birth of Zeus - originated as the Trigrammaton 17 representing the
archaic triad Sun, the Moon and Saturn. Mars had been considered as a child of Jupiter and a
grandchild of Saturn.
Extensions probably had been necessary by the discovery of new planets. Each vowel belonged to a
planet and each newly discovered planet required the invention of a new vowel to keep the
historical concept alive.

Some Notes to Sabian Philosophy and Timaeus

in Gnostics (~400 CE)


In the system of the Gnostics mentioned by Epiphanius (~315 403)we find, as the Seven Archons,
in which is leading the list of names. is also leading the inscriptions list for Abrasax:
Iao, Eloai, Adonai, Sabaoth, Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, Onoel, Ananoel, Raphael, Japlael, and many
others.
The name , to which is sometimes added, is found with this figure even
more frequently than , and they are often combined. Beside an Abrasax
figure the following, for instance, is found: IA ABPAA AN , "Iao Abrasax,
thou art the Lord".[7] With the Abrasax-shield are also found the divine names Sabaoth
Iao, Iao Abrasax, Adonai Abrasax, etc.[8] 18

The Moon
The planet cult of Harran (Roman: Carrhae) and Edessa (Urfa, and today: anlurfa) is based on
worshiping the sun (named Il), moon (named Sin), and five other visible19 planets.
Some of the Sabian formulas sound familiar to us:
The Sun is also referred to as Adunay (Adonai), which means lord.20.
Sin's temple was rebuilt by several kings, in the 7 th and the 6th century BCE. Herodian21 (iv. 13, 3)
mentions the town (named Carrhae) as possessing in his day a temple of the moon:
Not long after they made this agreement, it happened that Caracalla, who was spending
the time at Carrhae in Mesopotamia, conceived a desire to leave the imperial quarters
and visit the Temple of the Moon, for Selene is the goddess22 whom the natives
particularly adore. The temple was located some distance from Carrhae, and the journey
was a long one.
Therefore the first character A of the archaic alphabet may have to be assigned to the most
important planet moon. Later the sun (symbolized by I) became the most prominent planet and
at that time the I may have been relocated at the beginning of the philosophically re-ordered
vowel's list ( Jehova23) instead of the former Ptolemaic alphabetical order
AEHIOY for Moon (A), Mercury (E), Venus (H), Sun (I), Mars (O), Jupiter (U/Y) en Saturn ().
In any system the vowel triad I (the sun), A (the moon) and (Saturn) have been archaic triads in
all vowel systems and planetary orders. All of the minor readjustments may have been temporarily
influential but somehow lost their impact. The vowels remained additional objects.
In German language the moon is a male and the sun is a female element, whereas Mediterranean
languages define the moon as a female and the sun as a male element.

Daius ( Deus) and Diaus ( Dyaus)


Now if the sun and the moon exchanged their symbolic positions in the archaic Triad I-A- we
should also switch positions inside the sky-god's name Dyaus.
Originally with the moon as the principal deity the core string had to be A-I- implemented in de
deity Daius24, whereas for the sun as the principal deity the core-string had to be I-A-, resulting in
a divine name Diaus.
In this model Daius may have developed to Deus, whereas Diaus evolved to Dyaus.

24 In this construct the letter will be interpreted as U

The archaic Triad IA / IAU

Fig. 2: Cuneiform Vowels A, I, U


From: Ancient Scripts: Old Persian
Dyaus started with the subset YAU and for this reason the original I, A, U-subset for the Roman
alphabet seemed to be correct. In Greek IA also is one of the translations for YHWH, which
suggests a symbolic equivalence between U and .

Demetrius of Phalerum (c. 350 BCE c. 280 BCE)


The symbolism of a series of vowel may be understood by Demetrius of Phalerum who (as the
attributed author) is said to have documented25:
In Egypt the priests, when singing hymns in praise of the gods, employ the seven vowels,
which they utter in due succession ; and the sound of these letters is so euphonious that men
listen to it in preference to flute and lyre.26
And to follow Demetrius the original hymn may have started with three vowels, which had to be
sung euphoniously in due succession. The due succession is well known as --, because the I
had been the leading and initial character in philosophy. The I had to be followed by the Alpha
and as the beginning respectively end of the alphabet.
The IA- respectively IAU-concept also may be confirmed by the assignment of the planets sun to
the letter I, the moon to the letter A, Mars to O, Jupiter to U and Saturn to the letter .
Of course this is ancient philosophy, but the sequence of discovering new planets may correlate to
the introduction of the vowels. The most obvious planets to be found at the sky are the sun and
the moon, which had been assigned to the I and the A.
These explanations for the vowels only had been recorded in written documentation, which had
been enriched with reliable vowel information.

The letter Y as Sonus Medius


The first vowel Y inside Dyaus may need some explanations.
A vowel similar to the Greek letter Y belonged to the Claudian letters, which had been designed
by the Roman Emperor Claudius (reigned 4154). Claudius as a censor introduced three new
described as greatly needed - letters to the Latin alphabet. These letters were used to a small extent
on public inscriptions dating from Claudius' reign, but their use was abandoned after his death.

25 The work On Style ( ) which has come down under his name, is the work of a later writer, c. 2nd
century AD. - Demetrius of Phalerum
26 The Vowels' Symbolism in Archaic Hymns - Notes to the vowels in De Elocutione of Demetrius

Tacitus explains27:
Besides this he [Claudius] invented three new letters and added them to the alphabet,
maintaining that they were greatly needed; he published a book on their theory when he
was still in private life, and when he became emperor had no difficulty in bringing about
their general use. These characters may still be seen in numerous books, in the [state]
registers, and in inscriptions on public buildings.
Unfortunately Claudius' book may have been lost or slumbers in one of the secret and sacred
archives...
Before Claudius' efforts the Greek character Y already had been known as a sonus medius, a
short vowel in the symbolical center of I and U, ranging from I to U. The sonus medius was:
a short vowel sound (likely [] or []) used before labial consonants in Latin words such
as optumus/optimus. The letter was later used as a variant of y in inscriptions for short
Greek upsilon (as in Olympicus). It disappeared because the sonus medius itself
disappeared from spoken language28.
Therefore symbolically some of the Y-letters may have be considered as a IU-abbreviation. And in
case the I had been a male and the U a female symbol the Y had to be considered as an androgynous
symbol, which no other singular character had been fulfilling up till Claudius felt his duty to
suggest the introduction of the as a sonus medius.
The special vowel structure of an IU-structure also allowed to condense two vowels (I and U) inside
one symbol Y.

Examples for the symbolism of the vowel Y


Some examples of Y-usage have been reported in history:

Wycliffe used the Y as an ego-pronoun in his early Bible-publication29:


29

And God seide, Lo! Y haue youe to you ech eerbe berynge seed on erthe, and alle
trees that han in hem silf the seed of her kynde, that tho be in to mete to you;

Dyaus Pita - literally "Sky Father", the ancient sky god of Vedic pantheon and father of
Ushas (Dawn), Ratri (night) and the chief deities.
The initial letter in the Spanish ego-pronoun Yo.
The initial letter in the Yahoo30 as a human specimen in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels
The initial letter in YHWH (Tetragrammaton).

Often the Y or I have been applied as initials for names or elements. In analogy to the E the
symbolism of the Y however seemed to have been included in the letter i.

Anomalies for Ego-pronouns in remote or inaccessible territories


The ego-pronoun Adam (Cuneiform, 550 BCE to 400 BCE)

Fig. 3: The example translates as "I".


The word separator is in purple.
From: Ancient Scripts: Old Persian
For its name the old-Persian ego-pronoun adam31 may have been linked to the creation legend.
However I also checked the accusative and the you-pronoun:

Adam - personal pronoun; nominative singular <adam> 'I' 32 - referenced in a great number
of Old Persian texts in cuneiform with references: 7.64, 7.132, 7.280, 7.353, 8.197, 8.340,
8.371, 8.374, 8.401, 8.447, 8.458, 9.82, 9.196, 9.226, 9.410, 10.17, 10.71, 10.109, 10.144,
10.170, 10.182

mm - personal pronoun; accusative singular masculine <adam> 'I' -- 9.186, 9.231, 9.385

tuva pronoun; nominative singular <tuvam-> 'you' -- 10.215

There is a record of a small inscription in Morghab (southwestern Iran) on which there is the
sentence (adam kru xyaiya haxmaniiya) in Old Persian expressing: I am Cyrus the
Achaemenian King, which illustrates the use of adam (I):33
As an ego-pronoun adam must have been considered as a word for male and female speakers, which
implies that the word should be understood as a neutral gender word or an androgynous symbol.

The archaic Cuneiform set of Vowels

The set of vowels at the start of the old Persian cuneiform "syllabary starts with the old archaic
triad set of A-I-U, which had been mentioned as a belief in the work of Ludwig Stterlin34.
In this case however no e or o had been discovered in the old Persian cuneiform "syllabary. In
fact the e and y had collapsed into the i, the o probably in u and the h into a.
The Akkadian alphabet however used four vowels: I-A-E-U 35, the Latin alphabet five I-A-E-OU and the Greek alphabet seven: I-A-O-E-Y-H-.

Fig. 5: old Persian cuneiform "syllabary

Adam as an ego-pronoun

In modern language the frequency of ego- and you-pronoun is relatively high and deterioration
would quickly reduce the words to minimal length. The old Persian pronouns Adam, mm and tuva
are relatively long and seem to be relatively young at that time.
Eve is found as Jva

In the absence of e-vowels I checked the word for Eve (life, living) and I found this word in
the library by searching for life:

Jva - present active particle; nominative singular masculine <jiva-> 'living' -- 10.236,
10.308
jv - noun; nominative singular feminine <jv-> 'life' -- 7.236

Eve or to be more precise Jva consisted of a Yod and a concatenated set of I-U-A.

35 Notes to the Cuneiform Old-Persian Scripture

The word God (baga)

The cuneiform word for God is baga, which correlates to Slavic Bog.

Baga - noun; nominative singular masculine <baga-> 'god' -- 9.5

The ego-pronoun Mn
In Persian (and also Ottoman Turkish and Kurdish) language the ego-pronoun is: ( /mn/),
which as a transfer from adam to mn almost serves as a proof that mn and man had been
derived from Adam, the first man, or at least correlating to Mannus, Tuisco's androgynous (?) son
and the patriarch of Germanic tribes.

The ego-pronoun Man


And then there were numerous references to the ego-pronoun man. Written as , the egopronoun in Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Karachay-Balkar, or in the ego-pronoun in Yakut, Tatar, Bashkir36
these entries are similar to Aromanisch mine, mini, in Basque's ni, nik, Cornwall's my, Estonian
mina, ma, Etruscan mi, Finnish: min, Old Irish m, Romani me, Scottish Gaelic mi, mee in Manx,
m in Irish, my in Cornish,
These words are all said to have been derived from Proto-Indo-European *(e)me-, *(e)me-n(me), but some of these also correlate to men.

The Sanskrit ego-pronoun Aham


Outside of the European territory the Indo-European ego-pronouns refer to aham 37, which possibly
for its similarity to Adam, may be referring to creation legends. The Sanskrit ego-pronoun
(aham) refers to the Proto-Indo-European *h which had been considered as a root for ego38.

The Sardinian ego-pronoun DU


Ego-pronouns such as Sardinian DU are corresponding to the divine name DU. The majority of
all modern ego-pronouns consists of vowel combinations or scattered parts of the names of a skygod Dyaus or its derivatives such as Deus and Zeus.
From the ego-pronouns at border areas the typical D- respectively Z-derivatives such as
Walloon dji, the Savoyan de, d', zheu, The Sardinian Ego-variants dego, ego, zeu
and du indicate the preservation of less deteriorated versions of the ego-pronouns.

Deterioration of the ego-pronouns


The ego-pronouns belong to the most frequently used words and tend to deteriorate towards single
vowel versions in busy and densely populated trading areas (such as England, Norway, Venice,
Naples). Therefore the ego-pronoun deteriorated to i in Naples, West Norway, Scotland and
England, to a in Scotland and Venice, to e in Iceland, to u in Albania, to in Jutland and
west-Norway.

The Ego-Pronoun Anomaly at Chur39


A significant anomaly of the ego-pronouns ieu, jau, iou, eau and ih (and the corresponding divine
names) may be identified in neighborhood of the Swiss city of Chur, which is located at the
bifurcation of the young river Rhine.
1. At the west side of Chur the ego-pronouns develop an IEU-branch and southwestward
spread to the Provence and Occitania, transforming to JE westward to Paris and as I to
England.
2. North of Chur the ego-pronouns develop an IH(H)-branch and transform to Ich and Ic.
3. South of Chur the ego-pronouns develop an IOU-branch, transforming at the center of the
IO-territory to IO and to I at Naples, respectively IU in Sicily.
4. East of Chur the ego-pronouns develop an JAU-branch, transforming to the Slavic JA,
respectively southwards to the Macedonian variant JAC ( JAS).
Chur is well-known for the first episcopal center at the northern side of the Alps, where the
ieu/je-, the iau/ja-, iou/io- and the ihh/ih-branch developed40.
If we allow the newly generated vowels to collapse to their original triad-structure I-A-U the EgoPronoun Anomaly at Chur loses its complexity.
In fact all ego-pronouns (iau, ieu, iou and ih) around Chur reduce to their archaic iau-structure,
which in a reordered form also has been found in Jva (old-Persian for: Eve).

39 An I, Which had been Copied from the Word


40 The Etymological Fieldlines

Dyaus' Consonants D and S


D = Division, Duality
The letter D may have been connected to the creation legend, as the world's creation had been
closely connected to the creation of words and language. The initial word was the divine name:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God41.
The creation started with a series of divisions, in which the first divisions had been the division of
heavens and earth, light and darkness.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and
the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
Splitting up anything into parts also generates a twofold structure. Etymologically the number
Two always seems to be starting with a consonant T ( Two) or D ( Duo). The number
two itself had been considered bad for its negative character in divorces and breaking unity. The
creation process however required the generation of duality in structures.
The D may refer to the Division or Duality of the creation process. In analogy the T may also
have been indicating the twofold character of Tuisto, which already had been discovered by
Wackernagel and described by Jacob Grimm (in the appendix to his book German mythology).

S = Synthesis (?)
In contrast the trailing consonant S may symbolize the reunification and synthesis of the split-up
elements. This of course is a thesis, which must be considered unproven yet.
In this case the D- (division) and S-letters (synthesis) had been considered as antipodes.

41 John 1:1

Overview
In the course of studying the ego-pronouns I discovered the cuneiform old-Persian ego-pronoun
adam, which directly correlated Persian mn, the Turkish ego-pronoun variants , to
the creation legend in which the first man Adam had been created. Due to its vocal similarity the
Sanskrit ego-pronoun aham42 may be correlating to adam and to the creation legend as well.
I interpreted European ego-pronouns such as the singular letter Neapolitan, Norsk and English
vowels i, Wycliffe's Y, the Scottish, Venetian a, the Icelandic e, the Albanian u and the
Danish as deteriorated versions of the long variants like the Provencal ieu, the Jauers' jau, the
Macedonian jac (jas), the Italic iou and the German ih, which in shortened versions are known as
French je, Slavic ja and Italian io or Spanish yo.
These ego-pronouns all seemed to correlate to the creation legend in which a first human being
Adam or Man, had been created as an image yau (the basic ego-pronoun) of the divine creator,
the sky-god Dyaus.
