Languages, Religions and Names

Joannes Richter

Some of our Languages, Religions and Names are very old indeed. Even if we are unable to date their origin we might be able to find out which of these originated first and we expect to find an answer to this question by analyzing some of the remaining sources. Language of course started as a spoken medium, for which in a strict sense no clear evidence is to be expected. Our ancestor's languages however may be reconstructed by linguistic comparisons, resulting in an Indo-European prototype1 language. At the other side we will inspect the relative age of religion and names, both of which which may be compared to linguistic elements. The main source of religion is the Bible, which in analogy to language is expected to have started as a spoken medium. Which of these, PIE or the Bible, is the elder of both? The following essay investigates the words used to describe the first day's creation in which day and night have been divided. In itself already formulated as an impressive process the linguistic power has been enhanced by the usage of specially designed words. These words for day and night seem to have been designed for the special Genesis-description. The sequence of the vowels and the choice of vowels has been selected to contain the vowels of most important word of any language (the Ego-pronoun2). In fact the word day even includes the complete Ego-pronoun. And in a number of languages the word god is equivalent or similar to the word day. If a great number of Indo-Europeans have been using these especially designed words for the Egopronoun, God, day and night we may have to admit that they have known the Genesis-contents for the creation phase of the first day. This insight however would put the Genesis-legend in a new position at the very beginning of the creation phase for the Proto-Indo-European language.

1 The Proto-Indo-European language (PIE) is the reconstructed common ancestor of the Indo-European languages, spoken by the Proto-Indo-Europeans. 2 The Ego-pronoun is the personal pronoun of the first person singular (I)

Genesis
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. These remarkable images of creating the day as an antipodean element to the night at the very beginning belong to the most impressive moments of the creation process in Genesis. Each of the 6 creation days in Genesis has been dedicated to a special process for dividing two antipodean elements, but the creation phase for the first day is the most impressive of all. The words for the antipodes day and night however do not seem to have been chosen ad lib. They have been designed according to special design rules, which may be found in several languages. The design rule does not only prescribe the usage of the same letters for day and night, but also defines the sequence for the utterance of the sounds. We will explain the design rules for day and night in French, English and German languages. The design rules clearly explain the obvious choice of the same vowels and the reversal of sub-strings (expressions) in the antipodes.

French
In French the day-word (jour) may be written as iour and the night-word (nuit) as nouit. Both words iour and nouit now contain the same vowels iou, but the sequence has been reversed from iou in iour to oui in nouit. Therefore the antipodes iour and nouit have been marked: by reversing the expressions iou to oui (by reversing the vowels i and ou) by adding a negation n at the header position of nouit

In English a similar process and equivalent wording have been applied, but we will have to rewrite the words day and night to correctly express the pronunciation spelling for these words.

English
The day may be written as dai and the night as naid, which will allow us to compare the English wordings with the previous French sample. Now the English antipodes dai and naid have been marked: by reversing the expressions dai to aid and by adding a negation n at the header position of naid

German
The day may be written as tag and the night as nagt, which will allow us to compare the German wordings with the previous French sample. Now the German antipodes tag and nagt have been marked: by reversing the expressions tag to agt and by adding a negation n at the header position of nagt

The French Ego-Pronoun

Now let us investigate the Ego-pronouns for these languages. In French the modern pronoun je seems the have been derived from a more complicated Egopronoun, which may be traced back by inspecting the Provencal language, in which I accidentally discovered the correlation of the divine name Diu and the original 3-vowel design of the French Ego-pronoun iu. One of the most beautiful examples for the correlation between the divine name is to be found Mirio3. The Provenal poem Mirio4 is a new Rosetta Stone for etymology, explaining how the personal pronoun iu has been integrated in the divine name Diu.5

Stanza in Provencal language

iu la vese , aquelo branqueto , E sa frescour me fai lingueto ! iu vese, i ventoulet, boulega dins lou cu Sa ramo e sa frucho inmourtalo..., Bu Diu, Diu ami, sus lis alo De nosto lengo prouvenalo , Fai que posque avera la branco dis aucu ! Translation (French English)6 Methinks I see yon airy little bough : It mocks me with it's freshness even now ; The light breeze lifts it, and it waves on high Fruitage and foliage that cannot die. Help me, dear God, on our Provenal speech, To soar until the birds' own home I reach !

Day, Night, God and the Ego-pronoun iu

First of all we may identify the similarity between the Ego-pronoun iu and the iou-sequence in iour (day) and nouit (night). Both iu and iou are full vowel-series and do contain a header i and a trailer letter u, which have been identified as the male, respectively female gender symbols7. I and U are antipodes themselves and symbolize the creation of man and woman by the division process at the last creation day. The Ego-pronoun iu and its equivalent iou however may occur inside several other words, which implies that the creation legend has been encoded in several symbols, such as the Ego-pronoun, the divine name and the words for iour (day) and nouit.

Day versus Night

In iour (day) the sequence of the iou-sub-string is equivalent to the iu-sequence in the divine name Diu, which symbolizes the positive character of the day. In contrast the reversed ouisequence nouit symbolizes the negative character of the night.

The English Ego-Pronoun

We started analysis with the French example, which clearly illustrates the elementary design processes in generating the most important words (the Ego-pronoun, the divine name and the words for day and night). The English samples will have to be rewritten to illustrate the pronunciation spelling for these words. The day had previously already been rewritten as dai and the night as naid. We will now rewrite the Ego-pronoun I as ai, which meets the pronunciation. We will also identify ai as a full vowel-sequence. In English the divine name God cannot be compared with the French sample, but we know from Indo-European languages that there is a strong correlation between divine names and the day. In Latin Deus is translated to God and dies to day. Therefore we will concentrate on the English Ego-pronoun and identify ai inside dai and naid. In English the Ego-pronoun is lacking a u-symbol, which still may be found in the Provencal language and inside the French divine name Diu. It seems English lost the female linguistic symbol for the Ego-pronoun, the day and night in the course of time.

The German Ego-Pronoun

A similar process may be observed in German. The day had previously already been rewritten as tag and the night as nagt. We will now rewrite the Ego-pronoun Ich as ig, which meets the pronunciation. We cannot identify ig as a full vowel-sequence. In analogy to English the German Ego-pronoun is lacking a u-symbol, which still may be found in the Provencal language and inside the French divine name Diu. It seems German also lost the female linguistic symbol for the Ego-pronoun, the day and night in the course of time.

Variants of the Ego-pronouns

Is the iu-core a standard or do we need to check the variants of the Ego-pronouns? Indeed the Provencal iu-sequence seems to be one sample of several variants, including iou, iu, iau and others. Indo-European languages seem to have experimented with just any kind of combinations. There is however a problem in defining the priority of the iu-cores. There seem to be prior Egopronouns which have preceded the iu-sequences. These man-pronouns however confirm the idea of a correlation between the first man (Adam Kadmon) and the second generation of pronouns with iu- and similar cores. Let us list some samples, which have been documented in The Hieroglyphs in the Ego-Pronoun and in Etymology of the Ego-Pronoun (I).

The man-Pronouns
There must have been a substrate layer of pronouns as defined in the Proto-European language (PIE). This substrate may be identified by the word man, which is an Ego-pronoun in Tajik ( (Man) and Persian ( - man ). In western Europe similar man-pronouns may be found in Finnish (min ), Kurdish ( mn ) and generally in all languages which are using me-pronouns such as Breton (me ), Walloon , Belgium (dji; mi 8), Cornish (my ), Estonian (mina, ma), Irish (m ), Ladin (Nones) 9(mi), Luwian, Turkey (amu, mu), Manx (mee), Old Irish (m ), Picard, Belgium (mi, fi ), Proto-Celtic (*moi ), Scottish Gaelic ( mi ), Venetian (mi), Welsh (mi, fi ). These languages are using pronouns identical to the name of the first human being man, who had been identified as the first man Mannus Tuisco's child by Tacitus (98AD). The Mannus-layer probably is the oldest of three layers10.

The iu-sequence of Villar-St-Pancrace 11

The inhabitants of the small village Villar-St-Pancrace in the West Alpes between Grenoble and Torino near Brianon are using a strange Ego-pronoun iu m, respectively m iu 12. Simultaneously they are using a Creator God's name Diu13. Of course we easily identify the remarkable obvious inclusion of the Ego-pronoun iu inside the Creator God's name Diu. The local dialect of the 1500 villagers, who name themselves Viarans or Vialan must be seen as a special variant of the Occitan language at the borderline between French and Italian.

The Italian and Spanish Languages

In fact Italian and Spanish languages apply the same rules between the Ego-pronouns and the according divine names, e.g. in Italian Dio = D + io, respectively in Spanish: Dios = D + yo + s, in which we will need a trailing character s. The u-symbol is missing, but the neighboring Viarans will still provide us with the original iu-sequence. The Ego-Pronoun iou, respectively jou may also relate to the Latin deity*IOU-piter or Jupiter, who has been identified as the most powerful Italic/Italian deity.

Sicilian
In Sicilian the Ego-pronoun iu has been included in the divine name Diu. In fact the iusequence may In analogy to Villar-St-Pancrace mark a borderline between the Italian ioustructure and another neighboring area.

The (i)eu-sequence of Portuguese and Galician

In Portuguese and Galician languages the Ego-pronoun eu has been included in the divine name Deus. The divine name is to be generated by adding up D, the Ego-pronoun and eventually a trailer character s. In contrast to English, which lost the u-symbol, the Portuguese and Galician languages lost the i-symbol.

The Romansh language in Switzerland's Graubnden 14

Romansh is one of the four national languages of Switzerland, along with German, Italian and French. It is one of the Rhaeto-Romance languages, believed to have descended from the Vulgar Latin variety spoken by Roman era occupiers of the region, and, as such, is closely related to French, Occitan and Lombard, as well as other Romance languages to a lesser extent. In the mountainous areas a great variety of genuine Ego-pronouns has been identified. The five largest dialects in the Romansh family are: The Rhine Dialects Sursilvan a group of dialects of the Romansh language spoken in the Surselva, on the western bank of the Rhine. The region belongs to Vorderrhein (Rain anteriur), including Lumnezia, Foppa, Cadi (Surselva) . The population uses the Ego-Pronoun jeu and a divine name Deus. Sutsilvan spoken on the eastern bank of the Rhine. The region belongs to the Hinterrhein (Rain posteriur), including Plaun, Tumliasco, Schons (Sutselva). The population uses the Ego-Pronoun jou and a divine name Deus. Of course the Ego-Pronoun jou may also relate to the Latin deity*IOU-piter or Jupiter. Surmiran spoken in Surmeira and in the Albula Valley in Switzerland, in the Julia and Albula valleys, including Surses, Sutses (Surmeira) . The Ego-Pronoun is ja. The Engadine or Ladin Dialects Puter the upper Engadine valley (Engiadin' Ota). The population uses the EgoPronoun eau and a divine name Dieu. Vallader the lower Engadine valley (Engiadina Bassa) and the Val Mstair. The population uses the Ego-Pronoun eu and a divine name Deus. In Jauer dialect the population uses the Ego-Pronoun jau

14 Info from Romansh

We may identify the Ego-pronouns jeu, jou, eau, eu, ja and jau, marking the triborder region or even four-border region for the genuine Ego-pronouns. Most of these Egopronouns are genuine 3-vowel sequences, which do not reveal any deterioration, which has been identified in the wide-spread languages English, Italian, Spanish and French.

The Ego-pronoun
The Ego-pronoun does not meet the design rule for genuine 3-vowel sequences as the g-letter cannot be considered as a vowel. However the g may be considered as a i, which would transform the Latin/Greek Ego-pronoun into an Eio-pronoun.

Overview
In an overview we found the Ego-pronouns iu, iu, jeu, jou, eau, eu, ja and jau, most of which are to be identified in the remotest areas of the Swiss Alps, where civilization seems to have needed extra time to also influence the exotic refugee-locations where travelers will need a day to climb up the highest summits. The simplest Ego-pronouns (the English I, the French je, the Italian io, the Spanish yo and the abbreviated forms iu, eu, and ja) therefore must be considered as deteriorated words, which have been derived from the genuine forms iu, jeu, jou, eau and jau. Comparing jau, jeu, and jou we probably may consider iu as a variant of jou and eau as a variant of jau. These variants however seem to form an intermediate layer between the oldest pronouns-forms such as previously discussed man-pronouns15. The deteriorated, modern forms of the Ego-pronouns (the English I, the French je, the Italian io, the Spanish yo, the abbreviated forms iu, eu, and ja and the iu, eau variants) might be categorized as the top layer for the Indo-European Pronouns.

15 Etymology of the Ego-Pronoun (I)

Conclusions
The oldest Indo-European Ego-pronouns are man-pronouns, which seem to correlate to a Genesis legend, in which "Man" is created. From here the word "man" has been used as an Ego-pronoun. The Ego-pronouns jau, jeu, and jou seem to be genuine forms for the replacement design of a successor Ego-pronoun for man, generated according to the same Genesis legend, in which "Man" has been created male (i or j) and female (u) simultaneously in order to be split in two halves. In the genuine representations jau, jeu, and jou the male and female elements will still be recognizable as androgynous structure. The deteriorated, modern forms of the Ego-pronouns (the English I, the French je, the Italian io, the Spanish yo, the abbreviated forms iu, eu, and ja and the iu, eau variants) might be categorized as the top layer for the Indo-European Pronouns. They still will be recognized as vowelcombinations, but the androgynous structure largely has been lost. The Ego-pronouns jau, jeu, and jou will also be found as core-elements in the divine names Djau, Djeu, and Djou, respectively Djaus, Djeus, and Djous, or their abbreviated variants iu-piter, IHVH (IHUH), etc. In order to generate divine names from Ego-pronouns we may add a leading D and (if needed) a trailer letter s. The words for day and night seem to belong to the generation of the Ego-pronouns jau, jeu, and jou, which must be considered as more modern than the man-pronouns. The man-pronouns will also have been designed according to a corresponding Genesis legend, but these words may have belonged to a predecessor population, which eventually used the same or a similar Genesis legend. The Ego-generations jau, jeu, and jou may have replaced the man-pronouns in an emigration of nations. The words for day and night, which are including elementary Egopronoun-cores such as "iour" (French: "jour" = "day") and "nouit" (French: "nuit" = "day"), must have been designed along with the predefined "iou"-core, which needed to be reversed to be included in "nouit".

Summary
These considerations suggest to consider the Ego-pronoun-generations jau, jeu, and jou along with their corresponding divine names Djau, Djeu, and Djou, and the previously reconstructed day/night-words such as "iour" (French: "jour" = "day") and "nouit" (French: "nuit" = "day") as a coherent set, which had been designed according to an already existing Genesislegend, in which a first "Man" has been created as an androgynous person, to be symbolized by the names and the ego-pronouns "Man", or jau, jeu, and jou. This may be the proof that the previously quoted Genesis fragment has been used to design the language and is older than the discussed languages themselves.
