Abstract
Fundamental structures, words and names tend to survive for centuries. One of the fundamental
Indo-European words is the name of the sky-god Dyaus, whose name had been based on the vowels
Y, A and U.
The name YHWH of the Jewish Creator God often has been translated as IAO or a series of
different vowels such as the Provencal divine name “Diéu” or in Sicilian “Diu”.
Most European alphabets including the Greek, the Roman and the runic alphabet have been woven
on a “A...I....Ω”- or “A...I....U”-pattern, by starting at an A and ending with a vowel Ω or U. Usually
the center position between A and Ω/U is identified as an axis-shaped “I”, in which the vowels A, I,
Ω seem to symbolize to delimiter the world.
In Romance languages the personal pronouns of the first person singular often correlate with the
corresponding name of the sky-god, whereas the Germanic names of the sky-god (such as “Tuw”)
often correspond to the personal pronouns (“wut” or “wit) of the first person dual.
The runic alphabet seems to start the alphabet by inserting a keyword “ᚠᚢᚦ” (“wut”) before the
usual “A...I....Ω”-section. In Dutch this keyword “ᚠᚢᚦ” (“wut”) represents the the personal
pronouns (“wut” or “wit) of the first person dual and the name of the sky-god (“Tuw” or “Tiw”).
Samenvatting
Fundamentele structuren, woorden en namen blijven vaak eeuwenlang bewaard. Een van de
fundamentele Indo-Europese woorden is de naam van de hemelgod Dyaus, wiens naam op de
klinkers Y,A en U baseert.
De naam YHWH van de Joodse Scheppergod is in het verleden vaak vertaald als IAO of een reeks
ongelijke klinkers zoals de Provençaalse naam “Diéu” of in het Siciliaans “Diu”.
Het merendeel van de Europese alfabetten, waartoe ook het Griekse, het Romeinse en het
runenalfabet behoren, baseren op een “A...I....Ω”- of “A...I....U”-structuur met een begin (A), een
eind (Ω) en een spil (I), die de schepping of de wereld lijken te begrenzen.
In de Romaanse talen correleren de namen voor de Hemelgod in de regel met de bijbehorende
persoonlijke voornaamwoorden van de eerste persoon enkelvoud. In de Germaanse talen is er
sprake van een correlatie tussen de persoonlijke voornaamwoorden (“wut” of “wit) van de eerste
persoon dualis en de naam van de Hemelgod (zoals “Tuw” of “Tiw”).
Ook het runenalfabet bevat een “A...I....Ω”-structuur, die echter voorafgegaan wordt door een
sleutelwoord “ᚠᚢᚦ” (“wut”). In het Nederlands representeert het sleutelwoord het persoonlijke
voornaamwoord van de eerste persoon dualis (“wut”) en (van rechts naar links gelezen) de naam
van de Hemelgod (“Tuw”).
Over de woorden en namen
Oorspronkelijk werd de filosofie geclassificeerd als een studium generale, waarin alle facetten
bestudeerd werden. De brede opzet vereist echter een reductie tot de essentiële elementen.
Ik bestudeerde de boeken van de gebroeders Grimm, Aventinus, de Sohar en de Jewish
Encyclopedia, de lijsten van Morris Swadesh, Musil, Shakespeare en Jonathan Swift.
In een vergelijkend onderzoek stootte ik op de fundamentele klinkers, een beperkt spectrum
medeklinkers en een reeks woorden, die althans volgens Morris Swadesh als de belangrijkste
woorden (“ik” en “jij”, “wij beide”, “wij”, “jullie”) gelden1.
De fundamentele woorden worden samengesteld uit enkele consonanten en klinkerscombinaties, die
in het Nederlands soms door een deelteken (trema) moeten worden gescheiden.
Een deelteken wordt alleen gebruikt als het na elkaar schrijven van de letters zonder extra
aanduiding tot een verkeerde uitspraak kan leiden. Een dergelijke verkeerde uitspraak treedt mijns
inziens bijvoorbeeld op bij de toepassing van de Latijnse naam “Tuisco” in een Nederlandse zin. In
het Latijn is geen trema nodig, maar in het Nederlands moet “Tuisco” met een trema als “Tuïsco”
geschreven worden om de scheiding tussen de U en de I te verduidelijken.
Het trema is in Wikipedia in Tuïsco en Tuïsto toegepast, maar wordt in veel Nederlandse teksten
weggelaten. Het is echter de vraag of niet ook in alle andere van Tuïsco of Tuïsto afgeleide woorden
zoals bijvoorbeeld Duisburg een dergelijk deelteken toegepast moeten worden.
Waarnemingen
Het uitgangspunt van deze studie is, dat de Europese alfabetten op een “A...I....Ω”-structuur met een
begin (A), een eind (Ω) en een spil (I) baseren.
In de Romaanse talen viel mij op, dat de naam van de Hemelgod en het persoonlijke
voornaamwoord van de eerste persoon enkelvoud vaak met elkaar correleren.
In de Germaanse talen is er daarentegen sprake van een correlatie tussen de persoonlijke
voornaamwoorden van de eerste persoon dualis en de naam van de Hemelgod.
Tussen de Romaanse en Germaanse talen bestonden grote verschillen tussen de naamgeving van de
Hemelgod en de persoonlijke voornaamwoorden van de eerste persoon. Het leek erop, dat er op dit
gebied een soort grens tussen de Romaanse en Germaanse talen bestond.
Het runenalfabet bevat een “A...I....Ω”-structuur, die voorafgegaan wordt door een sleutelwoord
“ᚠᚢᚦ” (“wut”), dat in het Nederlands wellicht het persoonlijke voornaamwoord van de eerste
persoon dualis (“wut”) en (van rechts naar links gelezen) de naam van de Hemelgod (“Tuw”) bevat.
Dit sleutelwoord leek een groot aantal fundamentele begrippen te symboliseren, waartoe ook de
woorden “eten”, “wet”, “voedvader”, “voeden”, “fut”, “foeteren”, enz. behoren.2
De scheidingslijn tussen de U en de I duiden op een tweeslachtigheid der namen voor de Hemelgod
in de Germaanse talen, waarin volgens Grimm de consonant T in de dualis de dualiteit
symboliseert:
Neben der pluralform steht im älteren germ. der dual wit (t ist angehängte zweizahl) 'wir
beide', vgl. got. ags. asächs. wit, anord. vit (viþ), der sich auf deutschem boden nur im
nordfries. erhalten hat, sonst durch den plural ersetzt und schon ahd. nicht mehr bezeugt
ist; vgl. lit. vèd. 3

Deelproject 1: Handelswegen
Tot de woorden, die op oude tradities baseren, behoren ook de woorden, die de handel in barnsteen
markeren. Barnsteen is brandbaar en werd in enkele talen als “brandsteen” beschreven. Daar, waar
in het Duits de naam “Brenner” toegepast wordt, kan men met handelstrajecten voor barnsteen
rekenen.
De Germaanse talen markeren mijns inziens de handelsroutes tussen de Alpen en de Noordzee, resp.
Oostzee voor zover de religie en taalkern nog niet essentieel door de Romaanse overheersing kon
worden beïnvloed.
De handel in barnsteen
Zo viel mij al vrijwel direct op dat de naam Brennerpas en het volk der Brenni (bij München) aan
de voet van de Alpen vermoedelijk op de handel in barnsteen duiden, waarin de Brennerpas een
grote rol speelde om de handelswaar naar Italië te transporteren.
In Johannes von Aventin, Bayrische Chronik, Band 1 (Cgm 1566) bevindt zich een kaart waarop de
Brenni als volksnaam ingetekend staan:
4 Brennus
De Keltische La Tène-cultuur had toen een dusdanig peil bereikt dat zij op sommige gebieden die
van de Romeinen overtroefde.
Gedurende deze periode wisten de Kelten hun gebieden maximaal uit te breiden. In eerste instantie
in Noord-Italië en Griekenland, later in het huidige Turkije en Groot-Brittannië.
Het was duidelijk, dat de handelswaar (tin en barnsteen) destijds van de regio rond de Noord- en
Oostzee afstamde en via diverse landwegen en zeeroutes de Middellandse Zee bereikte.
In Zuid-Duitsland werd deze zwarte barnsteen naar Schwäbisch Gmünd gebracht en daar veredeld.
Vanwege zijn intensief zwarte kleur is de uitdrukking 'gitzwart' afkomstig van dit materiaal. Direct
naast de pelgrimsweg en de kathedraal van Santiago de Compostela ligt een straat Rúa da
Acibechería8, die naar de handelaren in git genoemd werd.
Voordat Luther de reformatie inluidde behoorde het git tot de geliefde betaalmiddelen op een reis
naar Santiago de Compostela, waar de zogenaamde halfedelstenen (het is geen echte steen) tot de
bij de pelgrims geliefde souvenirs verwerkt werden.

Noord-Griekenland naar Kolchis varen om het Gulden Vlies te halen dat door Phrixos in een heilig woud is
opgehangen. (Argonauten)

Deelproject 2: De Helwegen, Heelwegen en Heilwegen
Mij viel op dat de Kelten zich bij voorkeur bij hellingen en middelgebergten vestigden, waar zich
de vruchtbare lössgronden ontwikkeld hebben, die met minimale bemesting soms wel twee rijke
oogsten per jaar opleverden. Het was deze rijkdom, die men in de handel ter investering van
wapenen en transportmiddelen zoals schepen nodig had.
Door vijandelijke invallen en overheersing verloren de Kelten en Germanen in de loop der tijden
delen van de handelswinsten aan de Griekse en Romeinse rivalen. De vruchtbare Hellwegbörden
rond het Roergebied, de Maagdenburger Börde, de Hohenlohe en de Fildern bleven echter vrijwel
behouden en vormden een vruchtbare basis, waarop de volkeren sterker aangroeiden dan de rivalen.
De Helwegen
In een tweede project over de “Helwegen” viel mij op, dat plaatsen en wegen met de vruchtbare
lössbodem langs hellingen en middelgebergten vrijwel overal met het attribuut “hel” gevoerd
werden. Dit geldt zelfs voor de zeldzame regio's, die in Nederland sporen van löss bevatten.
Een samenhang tussen “Hel”-namen en vruchtbare akkergebieden is waarneembaar:
• rond de Heelwegen rond de Halserug bij Dinxperloo,
• rond de Helkuil rond de Sint Jansberg bij Kleve,
• in de schaduw van de Veluwe rond de Helkuil of Hellekuil & Helbeek bij Arnhem,
• in de schaduw van de Veluwe bij 6866 Heelsum
• tussen Duiven en Zevenaar bij de 6923 PE Helhoek en de Helstraat, 6923 Groessen
• bij de Holleweg, Nijmegen, de Hel ten noorden van Groesbeek en de Helweg, 6562
Groesbeek
• in het Laagpakket van Liempde, waar een Helstraat naast een akker ligt,
• bij het grote en het kleine Hellegat in de Roermonding bij Roermond,
• bij de diverse Helwegen, o.a. De Helpoort te Maastricht, de plaatsjes 6361 DN Helle, 6281
BR Helle, de Helberg en de Helstraat, 6131 CZ Sittard, de in Zuid-Limburg (en daarnaast de
Hellstraße, 52525 Heinsberg). De eerste landbouw in Nederland vond plaats op de löss in
Zuid-Limburg.
• Langs de Belgische taalgrens bevindt zich het omvangrijke lössgebied van België met
talloze Rue d'Enfer en Helbeken, Helakkers en Helstraten. (Zie The Hellweg as a map of
European loess-deposits).
De lössafzettingen in Zuid-Limburg
Dit geldt natuurlijk ook voor Zuid-Limburg, waar veel löss gevonden wordt. In Maastricht bevindt
zich een Helpoort en Helstraat (tegenwoordig: de Sint Bernardusstraat).
De Helstraat (later Sint Bernardusstraat) ontleende haar naam aan de vele bordelen, die
de bezoekers naar de hel leidden. Vandaar dat de poort aan het einde van de straat ook
Helpoort heette. Hel heeft in dit geval niets te maken met de woonplaats van de duivel,
maar met helling11.
Ja, dat klopt. De lössgebieden liggen vrijwel altijd op de hellingen, waar het fijne zand in de
ijstijden door de wind heengebracht is.
Er zijn echter ook gebieden, die achter een berghelling in de luwte van een heuvelachtig obstakel
liggen en die toch de naam “hel” dragen.
In het Franse taalgebied gaat de Helweg aan de taalgrens over in Rue d'Enfer en Rue de l'Enfer12.
Daaruit kan men wellicht afleiden, dat de “Hel” in de Nederlandse “Helweg” met het Franse woord
“Enfer” samenhangt en dus niets met de “helling” of “holheid” van de wegen samenhangt:
De naam Helle (Nuth) komt waarschijnlijk van helde, ofwel helling. Dit kan een
verwijzing zijn naar de heuvelachtige locatie en de talloze holle wegen die er te vinden
zijn. [1]
Men vindt vrijwel geen Helwegen in de vlakke regio's van Noord-Nederland of Noord-Duitsland.
Van dit soort Heelwegen en Heilwegen zijn er meerdere in Nederland (en zelfs een handvol in
Duitsland) te vinden. Zij beschikken vaak over een vruchtbare bodem, die soms met löss of met
langjarige bemesting een speciale humuslaag heeft ontwikkeld.
Ook is het mogelijk, dat de naam “helen” met het “heelmaken” (d.w.z. “Helen” in de vorm van
genezen) van mensen of een “Nederlandse scheppingslegende” in verbinding staat.17
Is het “helen” wellicht een “heelmaken” van een eertijds door de duale Hemelgod gespleten mens?
Is die dualiteit in de oude talen in het persoonlijke voornaamwoord “wut” (“wij beide”) van de
eerste persoon dualis gesymboliseerd?
De bestudering van de correlatie tussen:
1. de Germaanse namen voor de hemelgod (zoals “Tuw”) en de persoonlijke
voornaamwoorden (zoals “wut” → “wij beide”) van de eerste persoon dualis en
2. de Romaanse namen voor de hemelgod (zoals “Dieu”) en de persoonlijke voornaamwoorden
(zoals “ieu” → “ik”) van de eerste persoon enkelvoud
suggereert dat de scheppingslegende van Plato wellicht als een oude PIE-legende in de Germaanse
filosofie heeft bestaan. Deze these wordt in een derde deelproject onderzocht.

Deelproject 3: De belangrijkste woorden in een taal
Volgens Morris Swadesh vormen in Europese talen de persoonlijk voornaamwoorden van de eerste
persoon enkelvoud (in het Nederlands “Ik”), respectievelijk dualis (in het Nederlands “wut”) de
belangrijkste woorden in een taal. Helaas heeft Morris Swadesh in zijn vergelijkende
woordenlijsten de naam van de Hemelgod (resp. de Schepper) weggelaten.
In vrijwel elke Europese taal correleert een van deze woorden met de naam van de goddelijke
Schepper. Buiten het territorium van de Romeinse bezetting door Romeinse legers correleert de
naam van de goddelijke Schepper met de dualis en daarbinnen met het enkelvoud van het
persoonlijk voornaamwoord van de eerste persoon.
Op een kaart van Europa kan men deze grens tussen de twee taalkundige blokken aflezen. De
Belgische taalgrens tussen Frans en Nederlands en voor een deel ook de Duitse voortzetting 19 valt
tevens ongeveer samen met de regio der belangrijkste lössgebieden.

Het tabeloverzicht van de persoonlijke voornaamwoorden van de eerste persoon
De Schepper, die als Tuw met het persoonlijke voornaamwoord der eerste persoon dualis (wut)
correleert, behoort zelf vermoedelijk ook tot de bipolaire symbolen.
Van Jacob Grimm leerde ik dat de medeklinker T, samen met de D, Z en S de dualis en wellicht ook
de bipolariteit der goden symboliseert.

enkelvoud, respectievelijk dualis (in het Nederlands “wut”)
20 In Germanic languages the dual therefore remained only in the first- and second-person pronouns and their
accompanying verb forms. Old English, Old Norse and the other old Germanic languages had dual marking only in
the personal pronouns, but not in the verbs. (The Nuclear Pillars of Symbolism)
De bipolariteit in archaïsche sculpturen
Nadat de Romeinen de religieuze elementen der Keltische religie vernietigd hadden bleven er aan
de randen van het Imperium Romanum slechts enkele sculpturen over, die aanduiden, dat enkele
goden niet alleen in de namen, maar ook in de personificatie een duaal karakter vertonen. Tot deze
bipolaire sculpturen behoren Lusty Man op Boa Island (in de vorm van een geboeid paar als
symbool voor een echtpaar) en de Hermes van Roquepertuse.
De Romeinse historici gingen ervan uit dat elke sculptuur met twee gezichten met de Romeinse
equivalenten Janus of Hermes overeenkwam.
De Lusty Man op Boa Island wordt afgebeeld met een beschadigd oog, wat op Odin (Wodan) duidt.
De mannelijke gestalte is herkenbaar aan het opgerichte geslachtsorgaan, terwijl de vrouwelijke
wederhelft de tong uitsteekt. De boeien duiden erop, dat het echtpaar tot deze houding
gedisciplineerd werd.
In mijn ogen beschrijft de houding de destijds al “oude” scheppingslegende der kogelmensen van
Plato in Symposium, waarin Aristophanes vertelt hoe Zeus deze mensen geschapen heeft. In
analogie met de Bijbelse Genesis wordt de mens eerst als kogelmens geschapen en pas daarna in
man en vrouw opgesplitst. In de Genesis schept God de mens als man & vrouw, waarop de vrouw
even later van de man gescheiden wordt.
Merkwaardigerwijze bevindt zich in de Jewish Encyclopedia een aantekening dat “Adam Kadmon”
door Yahweh als androgyne persoon geschapen werd. Het enige detail, dat nog ontbreekt is de
opmerking “naar zijn evenbeeld”, maar in feite is dat vanzelfsprekend.
In het licht van de scheppingslegende is de individuele mens slechts een halve mens. De hele mens
is dan een echtpaar, waarin twee partners elkaar aanvullen. Alleen het echtpaar kan als evenbeeld
van de Schepper nieuwe mensen scheppen. Als dat concept in een Indo-Europese taalfamilie
verbreid wordt, moeten daarvoor ook bewijzen in de taal te vinden zijn.
Ik heb dat concept enkele jaren geleden in The Hermetic Codex II - Bipolar Monotheism
opgetekend:
~30 AD: The Pharisees21
The Jewish Encyclopedia reports the creation of an androgynous being titled Adam
Cadmon by Yahweh. In explaining the various views concerning Eve's creation, the
Pharisees taught22 that Adam was created as a man-woman (androgynous).
Adam wordt als Gods evenbeeld geschapen (Gen. i. 27) en later (Gen. ii. 7) nogmaals als “eerste
mens”. De Farizeeërs legden uit, dat de scheiding in man en vrouw pas later door de “operatieve
ingreep aan Adam” plaatsvond:
In explaining the various views concerning Eve's creation, they taught ('Er. 18a, Gen. R.
viii.) that Adam was created as a man-woman (androgynos), explaining (Gen. i.
27) as "male and female" instead of "man and woman," and that the separation of the
sexes arose from the subsequent operation upon Adam's body, as related in the
Scripture. This explains Philo's statement that the original man was neither man nor
woman23.

Een scheppingslegende
Ter afronding van de taalstudies, de heilwegen en heelwegen en de namen der goden waag ik nu een
reconstructie van de Nederlandse scheppingslegende. Het wordt niet “de”, maar “een”
scheppingslegende, omdat er meerdere varianten denkbaar zijn en de historische pachtheren
ongetwijfeld op onwaarheden of onnauwkeurigheden zullen wijzen.
Wellicht is het verhaal begonnen met de scheppingslegende, die mij destijds in de Godsdienstles
1954-1955 op de RK lagere school St Willibrordus, Zeelsterstraat door een priester uitgelegd is24.
Nog steeds kan ik mij vaag herinneren, in welke rij en ongeveer welke bank ik toen gezeten heb. De
teken- en kleurkwaliteit van de presentatie heeft mij zo sterk beïnvloed, dat die eerste godsdienstles
van het tweede schooljaar samen met vier andere lessen uit de lagere school mij nog steeds
glashelder voor de herinneringsogen staan.
Die vier andere lessen stammen uit latere schooljaren. Een daarvan is de Franse les, die een broeder
in Valkenswaard op de zesde klas van de lagere school (de Aloysiusschool aan de Kromstraat).
Als overige episodes herinner ik mij uit de schooltijd aan de Maria Regina School in Strijp
(Eindhoven) de differentiaal- en integraalrekening, en een spannend verhaal, dat door de meester
voorgelezen werd en een opstel over het boek Arendsoog, dat destijds voor de naoorlogse
geboortegolf tot de literaire canon behoorde.
Bevreemdend aan de scheppingslegende uit Godsdienstles 1954-1955 waren de felle kleuren rood
en blauw voor Adam en de Schepper, respectievelijk Eva en Maria. Die kleurcodes golden echter
alleen vóór de zondeval.
Na de zondeval, die door het genot van de appel werd gesymboliseerd, veranderden de kleuren van
Adam en Eva in paars. De Schepper bleef in rood en Maria in blauw gehuld, omdat zij buiten de
zondeval stonden.
Over de ware aard van deze kleurwisseling verloor de priester geen woord. Destijds waagde ook
geen enkele leerling de heiligman te vragen, wat die kleuren te betekenen hadden. De scholing was
destijds een eenzijdige monoloog.
Ook later, op het Bisschoppelijk College bleef de religie een vreemd spektakel, waarin ik 1961 te
Roermond in de Munsterkerk weer eens met de rode en blauwe kleuren op de katafalk
geconfronteerd werd. Destijds was ik echter 13 jaar oud en zogezegd een leek. Het interesse in de
vaderlandse geschiedenis stamt uit de jaren 1989-1990, waarin ik besloot de oorsprong van de
taalkundige en religieuze symbolen eens vanuit de werktuigbouwkundige blikwinkel onder de loep
te nemen.
Gezien de complexiteit en ondoorzichtigheid waarmee de religie en de taal verweven en
gedocumenteerd zijn, moest dit project wel tientallen jaren voortduren. Achter elke ontdekking
wachtten nog honderden onontdekte raadsels en duizenden merkwaardigheden, die pas na meerdere
inspecties als raadsels konden worden geformuleerd25.
In de alternatieve scheppingslegende van Plato gaat men ervan uit dat de mens als echtpaar
geschapen werd en de twee helften als man en vrouw elkaar als oorspronkelijke wederhelften
erkennen en zich opnieuw in een huwelijk tot “één vlees” versmelten.
Deze scheppingslegende, waarin twee wederhelften zich samen tot een “echt paar” herenigen en
elke mens afzonderlijk slechts een losse mensenhelft vormt, vereist een bijzondere vorm van het
“ik”-begrip. De twee wederhelften moeten samen als “echt paar” over een speciaal persoonlijk
voornaamwoord “wij beide” kunnen beschikken.
Daarnaast hebben zij behoefte aan speciale persoonlijke voornaamwoorden voor “jij” en “ik”, die
alleen tussen de twee bij elkaar behorende wederhelften gereserveerd blijven. Dit zijn de woorden
“Du”, “Thou” en “Tu” voor “jij” in het Duits, Engels en Frans. Binnen het echtpaar wordt voor de
communicatie met de wederhelft het “ik” en “jij” toegepast, terwijl de echtparen voor alle anderen
“wij beide”, resp. “ons beide” toepassen.
In een samenleving, die op alternatieve scheppingslegende van Plato baseert, speelt de dualis een
elementaire rol om de echtelijke banden als hechte, religieuze boeien te beschouwen. De
scheppingslegende diende als efficiënte formule om de echtelijke plichten als wettelijke
voorschriften te accepteren.
De wetten van de echt werden niet alleen in de alternatieve scheppingslegende geformuleerd, maar
ook in het alfabet gefixeerd. Het kopstuk ᚠᚢᚦ (“Wut”) van het runenalfabet bevat daartoe niet alleen
het speciale persoonlijke voornaamwoord “Wut” voor de eerste persoon dualis “wij beide”, maar
ook in de de tegengestelde leesrichting “Tuw” als naam voor de hemelgod.
Deelproject 5: Het kopstuk ᚠᚢᚦ (“Vut”) van het runenalfabet
Bij de bestudering van de diverse soorten runenalfabetten valt op, dat de eerste drie letters van het
runenalfabet vrijwel steeds hetzelfde woord ᚠᚢᚦ (“Futh”) beschrijven, dat zowel als (1) het
persoonlijk voornaamwoord “wut” van de eerste persoon dualis, (2) de godennaam “Tuw” en (3) de
godennaam “Vut” (als afkorting voor “Wodan”) symboliseert. Pas na deze vooropstaande drie
symbolische letters volgt het runenalfabet met de gebruikelijke structuur A....I.....Ω.
De volgende vijf goddelijke namen van Germaanse goden ᚠᚢᚦ (“Vut”), ᚦᚢᚠ (“Tuw”), ᚦᚩᚱ (“Thor”),
ᚱᚩᚦ (“Rod”), ᚩᚱᚳ (“Erch” of “Eor”) zijn in een tabel gerangschikt26:

Deelproject 6: De “A-I-Ω”-structuur van de alfabetten
Het runenalfabet
De Futhark/Futhorc-analyse is gedocumenteerd in: Analysis of the Futhorc-Header. Dit alfabet
wordt voorafgegaan door een ᚠᚢᚦ – Header en is ontworpen als een A-I-Ω structuur.
Daarin worden de A en Ω als begin Alfa ( ᚨ ), respectievelijk einde Ω (ᛟ) beschouwd, terwijl men
de lange klinker ï ( ᛇ ) als een spil, de aardas of de wereldpilaar Yggdrasil kan interpreteren.
Eventueel kan deze pilaar ook als fallussymbool beschouwd worden. De Futhark/Futhorc-reeks is
niet echt aan ABC-structuur, maar wel een A-I-Ω structuur en in die zin vergelijkbaar met sommige
oorspronkelijke fasen van de Griekse en Romeinse alfabetten.

Tabel 3 Het concept voor het Gotische alfabet door de Visigotische bisschop Wulfila
In een rudimentaire vorm zijn vier van de belangrijkste Germaanse goden Wodan, Tiw of Tuw38,
Thor en Rod afleesbaar in de vijf tot zes beginletters van het Futhorc alfabet.
De namen ᚠᚢᚦ (Vut → Wodan) en ᚦᚩᚱ → Thor zijn afleesbaar door het lezen van links naar rechts in
het woord futhorc. De namen ᚦᚢᚠ (Tuw) en ᚱᚩᚦ → Rod ofwel ᚳᚱᚩᚦ → Krod zijn afleesbaar door het
lezen van rechts naar links in het woord futhorc.
De zaterdag behoort niet tot de Germaanse woordenschat alhoewel er een passende Germaanse
naam bestaat in de vorm van Krodo, Chrodo, Hrodo (of in de Slavische talen: Rod).
Dit concept suggereert de naam “Hrôd-dag”, “Roy-dag” ofwel “Roddag” te beschouwen als een
alternatieve naam voor de zevende weekdag (“zaterdag”).

Mythology (Vol 1 1882)) gedocumenteerd staat

De namen van de goden zijn wellicht ook vastgelegd in enkele Brabantse dorpsnamen: Woensel,

Deelproject 8: De klinkers I-A-Ω van het alfabet
Al vrij vroeg werd het belang van de klinkers duidelijk afleesbaar in de naam van de Schepper, in
de ego-pronomina en in de structuur van de alfabetten. De belangrijkste klinker is de “I”, die
wellicht als wereldpilaar (en/of fallussymbool) kon worden beschouwd, gevolgd door het begin “A”
en het einde “Ω”.
In een van de eerste vertalingen van de Septuagint werd de naam YHVH vertaald door IAω:
The choice Iaô (IAω), used to justify the vocalization Yahwoh, is mainly based on a
manuscript of the Septuagint (below) dated around 100 BCE found at Qumran. This
vocalization being confirmed (c. -50) by Diodorus of Sicily (90-20 BCE), a Greek
historian, and Terentius Varro (116-27 BCE), an ancient Roman scholar and writer40.
In de loop der tijden volgden talloze vertalingen met een groot aantal klinkerscombinaties. De IAO-
transliteratie van YHVH behoort tot de meest (→ 50%) voorkomende hoofdvorm, die in de

A Letter-Based HuMan
In A Letter-Based HuMan werd bestudeerd hoe men uit de Schepper's naam „Yahoo“ („Iahu“) het
woord “Ik” kan afleiden door de correcte interpretatie van de naam YHW:
• A Letter-Based HuMan – uploaded 6.9.2014
At last the study of Hermann Burger's essay „The Word-Based Man“57 helped me to
decipher the last encoded consonant. Even the Germanic Ego-pronoun and the Latin word
„human“ had been derived from the Creator's name „Yahoo“ („Iahu“). The consonant in εγώ
(egó) and German „ich“ had been derived from the letter „H“ in the consonant-based version
of the name YHW, respectively its vowel-based version „Yahoo“ („Iahu“).
Basically the word „I“ and the various translation equivalents ic, ich, ia, iu, jau, jeu, jou,
εγώ (egó) and also „human“ had been derived from Jonathan Swift's Creator-name Iahoo
(YHW) in which the “Y” or „I“ had been interpreted as „God's Image“. Several root words
had been derived from the concept of naming Man according to „God's Image“.
De echtelijke staat
In het Duits van Aventinus wordt de echt als huwelijkse staat slechts met één klinker ê beschreven.
In het moderne Duits is dat woord “Ehe” (echt):

Deelproject 11: Correlaties tussen ego-pronomina en de goden
Als men de talloze IAO - vertalingen van YHVH vergelijkt met de structuur van de diverse
runenalfabetten, het Griekse en Romeinse alfabet, die eveneens op de lettercombinaties A-I-O, A-I-
U of A-I-OU baseren, ligt het voor de hand te onderzoeken welke regels bij het ontwerp van de
persoonlijke voornaamwoorden der eerste persoon enkelvoud en dualis kunnen worden afgeleid.
Deze correlatie tussen IAO (YHVH) geldt echter alleen voor de ego-pronomina der Romaanse
talen. In de Germaanse talen correleren de persoonlijke voornaamwoorden der eerste persoon dualis
met een of meerdere godennamen van de Schepper.

65 In Germanic languages the dual therefore remained only in the first- and second-person pronouns and their
accompanying verb forms. Old English, Old Norse and the other old Germanic languages had dual marking only in
the personal pronouns, but not in the verbs. (The Nuclear Pillars of Symbolism)
Correlaties in Romaanse talen (tussen bijvoorbeeld “IAO” en “IAU”)
In eerste instantie lijkt men de Europese “ik”-definitie in de Romaanse talen (ofwel de uit het Latijn
afgeleide talen) als evenbeeld van de Schepper “IAO”of “IAU” te hebben afgeleid.
De persoonlijke voornaamwoorden der eerste persoon enkelvoud bestaan daarin vaak uit drie
klinkers, die meestal verschillen en vaak met een I beginnen. Ongetwijfeld vormt de I een
kernsymbool, dat bij de “ik”-definitie en ook in de vertaling IAO van YHVH voorop staat.
De optimaal passende naam is het ego-pronomen jau66 van het Zwitserse dialect “Jauer”, dat tot het
Rumantsch Grischun wordt gerekend, maar ook ia (surmiran), eau, iéu, yiou voldoen relatief goed
aan de “evenbeeld van de Schepper”.
In een Sardisch dialect zijn zelfs Schepper (Deu) en “ik” (dèu) vrijwel identiek. De consonant “D”
in deze woorden symboliseert wellicht de oorspronkelijke dualiteit.

Tabel 4 Europese “ik”-definitie in de Romaanse talen
Ook de Griekse en Romeise mythologie kent de mannelijke tweelingen in de vorm van Romulus en
Remus, Kastor en Polydeukes in de Griekse mythologie, als ook gestalten als Janus & Jana (of
Diana).
Janus werd voornamelijk afgebeeld als een man met twee gezichten (Janus Bifrons) of
als een tweeling (Janus Gemini). Zijn twee gezichten representeerden oorspronkelijk
de zon en de maan.
Mijns inziens symboliseert het deelteken in Tuïsco en Tuïhanti de tweeledigheid, die Wackernagel
aanduidt.
Tuïscoburgen
Tot de Tuïscoburgen behoren Duisburg (Tuiscoburgum) en Doesburg (Tuiscoburgum Batavorum)70.
In de Beierse Kroniek (boek I, hoofdstuk 15) beschrijft Aventinus hoe koning “Tuitsch” (in het
Nederlands: Tuïtsch?) gestorven is:
Ter ere van deze koning verhieven de mensen hem tot een god en hebben hem een heilig
woud in het Nederlandse graafschap Kleef gewijd, dat ongeveer tussen Doesburg
(Tuiscoburgum Batavorum) en Duisburg (Tuiscoburgum) aan beide zijden van de Rijn
gelegen is.71
De Sacrum nemus, der „Heilige Wald“ is tegenwoordig het staatsbos bij Kleef72:
Für die Bataver, die hier zur Zeit der Römer zwischen Kleve und Nimwegen lebten, war der
Reichswald ein Heiligtum. Sacrum nemus, der „Heilige Wald“, schreibt der berühmte
Geschichtsschreiber Tacitus in seinen Berichten (Werner Breuer, Der Reichswald, Boss
Verlag 1985, S. 74).

De geschiedschrijving van Aventinus
In zijn Beierse Kroniek beschrijft Aventinus de Latijnse “Tuisco” als koning “Tuitsch”. In een
Nederlandse tekst moet dus ook deze koning (afgeleid van de naam Tuïsco) voor alle zekerheid met
een trema in de vorm Tuïtsch geschreven worden.
Het klinkt banaal, maar de correcte uitspraak van deze woorden verduidelijkt de dualiteit.
Ook in het woord Duits, dat etymologisch van “diutisc”73 afgeleid wordt, zijn de I en U gescheiden
en moet er eventueel in het woord “Duits” een deelteken tussen de U en de I geplaatst worden om
aan te geven dat de I en U onafhankelijke elementen symboliseren.
En zelfs Duisburg (als Tuiscoburgum afgeleid van Tuisco) moet dan in het Nederlands dus als
Duïsburg geschreven worden. Ik weet, dat het lastig is en dat men op elke slak een korreltje zout
moet leggen, maar principe is principe en ook in Duisburg is nu eenmaal een Tuïsco verwerkt.

The alphabets
• The Hidden Symbolism of European Alphabets.. 1/31/2018
From the very beginning I knew the most important letter had been the Yod, which also had
been given the central position of an axis inside the alphabet.
The alphabet had been designed as a well-thought concept by starting at a central foundation
focus, which has been expanded to the end with dedicated terminal vowels to the left and
right.
I understood this concept of alphabetic expansions also might have used the vowels as
synthesizing blocks for the linguistic fundamentals, especially for the prominent classes
gods, personal pronouns of the 1st person and words for eternity, law, scripture, matrimony,
etc. .
Some variants of the runic alphabets contain integrated phrases for the three Germanic sky-
gods (“Wuth-an”, “Thuw”, “Thor” - “þor”) and/or personal pronouns of the 1st person
singular (“Æ”, “IA”), respectively dual (“ƿiþ” or “ƿuþ”).
• Etymology, Religions and Myths - 1/17/2018
In the course of time religions and myths may be replaced by other myths such as laws,
money and historical records.
We also may alter language, replace obsolete structures such as gender and the grammatical
dual number by new and easier structures to accommodate the myths to larger communities.
Language however also contains a common core, including religion, in which the myths
partially may be kept alive.
This paper describes the common core, which may be considered as the minimal foundation
to keep the mythical machine alive.

Etymology, Linguistics Study
• Notes to Guy Deutscher's "Through the language Glass - upload 1/7/2018
Genders indeed are a language's gift77, which helps us to interpret archaic religious symbols.
Genders also reveal the balance between the male and female components, which in archaic
societies were considered as antipodes.
In Germanic and Roman societies the sun may be considered as the most powerful “planet”,
which as a god ruled the world. In contrast to the Romans, who preferred the daylight the
Germanic and Celtic peoples always chose the nights (die Nacht) as their favourite time for
decisions.
Traces of the ancient female dominance may be found in the gender of the German words
for the sun (die Sonne) and the Night (die Nacht), whereas the Rome's symbols (the sun as
the male “Sol invictus”) represented the “male” power and male “Daylight” (der Tag) in
controlling society.
If the role of the colours and the genders in philosophy and language is understood (and
practised ?) the genders may stabilize societies – especially in reorganizing the equality and
balance in respect between the genders.
Without any knowledge of the symbolic foundation (of genders and colours) society will
drift into a turbulent “survival of the fittest”.
Without any knowledge of the basics of genders and colours the grammatical genders may
be abolished as a superfluous ballast, which may be thrown away.
• Another Sight on the Unfolding of Langu– 1/9/2018
Linguistic degradation and sophistication is considered as an unplanned series of events,
which occur to isolated words.
In the case of the personal pronouns of the 1st person dual and singular however there seems
to be a planned concept in which the personal pronouns of the 1st person are matched to
correlate to the Creator's and/or sky-god's Name.
The adaptation occurred in several stages and different roots (inside/outside of the Roman
Empire), which results in several generations of personal pronouns of the 1st person.
77As stated at page 215 in Through the Language Glass by Guy Deutscher (2010)
2017 The dual form
• Notes to the Finnish Linguistic Symbolis... – 12/9/2017
In Europe and a few external linguistic regions a correlation exists between the sky-gods'
names and the personal pronouns of the first person singular respectively dual, which
gravely influenced our philosophies and religions.
These correlations may vary in their coding systems which seem to have experienced
different evolutionary accelerations and velocities.
In the PIE-languages some of the earliest coding systems correlated the sky-gods' names and
the personal pronouns of the first person dual, which resulted in sky-gods' names such as
Tiw and corresponding personal pronouns of the first person dual Wit.
Another linguistic region of the Roman Empire correlated the sky-gods' names and the
personal pronouns of the first person singular, which resulted in sky-gods' names such as
Diéu and corresponding personal pronouns of the first person dual iéu.
A third linguistic category of the Uralic languages seems to have developed a coding system
which concatenates ancient philosophical cores such as “IU” or “EL” and the personal
pronouns of the first person “ma” to the sky-gods' names *Juma respectively *ilma.
These correlations between the sky-gods' names *Juma respectively *ilma and the
corresponding personal pronouns of the first person “ma” exist for the languages Finnish
(Jumala and Ilma), Karelian (Jumala), Estonian (Jumal), Erzya (*Juma), Moksha (*Juma), and
Komi-Zyrian (Ilma).
• A Modified Swadesh List – 12/9/2017
The grammatical dual (abbreviated DU) seems to have played a prominent role in the
development of Indo-European languages which as a thesis may be proven by the dual
character of the sky-god's name *Dyeus.
However the standard Swadesh list (which starts with the words I, You, We, this, that,...)
does not include the most prominent dual pronouns and at least from a historical standpoint
the standard list seems to be incomplete.
In order to demonstrate the impact of the DU the Swadesh list should be extended by
inserting the three etymologically leading elements (specified in English): (1) the sky-god
*Dyeus, (2) Ƿit (“us two”) and (3) Ȝit (“you two”).
According to Jacob Grimm the duality Ƿit (“us two”, spoken “Wit”) and (3) Ȝit (“you two”,
spoken “Git”) is characterized by the trailing letter “t”.
On a local scale the corresponding sky-gods' names have been specified as Tuw, Tiw,
respectively Wuotan, Wōden, Vut, Wêda, etc...
In Latin and Greek the religious symbols of duality and the DU have been eliminated at an
early stage, but survived in the languages of the surrounding territories. Especially the old
writings in the border regions of the Roman Empire reveal characteristic symbols for duality
and the DU.
Outside the borderlines of the Roman Empire the barbarian (modified) Swadesh List is ruled
by the dual (1) sky-god *Dyeus, (2) Ƿit (“us two”) and (3) Ȝit (“you two”).
Inside the Roman Empire the reconstructed DU in the Latin Swadesh list may demonstrate
the common symbolism of the IU-vowel combinations in Ju-piter, ius, iustitia, just, iugum,
etcetera.
In both the “official” and the “modified, barbarian” Swadesh list the priority of the personal
pronouns of the 1st person singular respectively dual form had a considerable impact on
language and philosophy.
Most of the impact of the DU has been suppressed by the illiteracy of the barbarian people
and the absence of written documentation. This paper describes the concept of
reconstructing the original historical etymology.
The impact of the dual form
• Capita Selecta for the Dual-Number Form - 12/6/2017
The dual (grammatical number), in this paper abbreviated as DU, may be considered as the
most significant manifestation for dual religions in Indo-European languages. In some
languages such as Germanic languages the DU has been lost in various fields1 and now
concentrates on personal pronouns, which may suggest the disappearing monument stick to
what Morris Swadesh (1909 – 1967) considers the 3 most important words: (1) I
(Pers.Pron.1.Sg.) (2) You (2.sg! 1952 thou & ye) and (3) we (1955: inclusive) Swadesh list.
In a certain sense these personal pronouns and the name of the Creator God seem to be
correlating in a great number of Indo-European languages, which has been documented in A
Paradise Made of Words.
This overview however reveals a remarkable difference between the languages which had
been included in the Roman Empire, in which the divine Name had been correlated to the
ego-pronoun I (Pers.Pron.1.Sg.). Outside the borders of the Roman Empire the divine Name
correlated with Wit (the Pers.Pron.1.Dual).
In a number of cases such as IU-piter and Tuisto the vowel structures of the Indo-European
divine Names and the ego-pronouns have been interpreted as dual structures.
• A Paradise Made of Words - 11/30/2017
The consonants and the vowels in the sky-god's name “Dyaus” may be interpreted by
analysis of the names' variants, which need to be categorized as “barely influenced by
Roman civilization” and “intensely influenced by Roman civilization”.
In the regions “intensely influenced by Roman civilization” the personal pronouns of the 1st
person singular are simply composed by the vowel-word “eternity”, which eventually may
be extended by leading or trailing consonants.
In the regions “barely influenced by Roman civilization” the personal pronouns of the 1st
person dualis such as Ƿit (Wit) / Ȝit (Git) may be found by mirroring the name of the sky-
god Tīw, respectively Tīg.
The leading consonants “D” in “Dyaus”, “T” in “Tyr” and “Z” in “Zeus” or “Ziu” may be
considered as symbols for the dual character of the sky-god. The trailing consonant “S” may
be interpreted as an extension for “S” = “the son” for the younger divine generation. Both
consonants may be skipped, e.g. in IU-piter.
The Vowels Y, A,U or simplified I, A, U symbolize eternity, which in most PIE-languages
has been composed by a long series of long vowels.
In the transitory dialects (such as Savoyard, Sardinian and Walloon) the ego-pronoun
(singular) often reveals similarity to the sky-god's name.

Additional Color Symbolism
• The Colors at the Main Gate of the Mainz Cathedral - uploaded: 06/15/2015
At the northern side of the Mainz Cathedral the main entrance provides access to the main
market of the city. The bronze doors have been cast around 1000 AD and the surrounding
pillar section has been dated 1200AD.
Next to the bronze doors we may identify two pillars with Corinthian capitals. The pillars
have been replaced in earlier eras. One of the pillars has been painted black, the other one
red. Originally both pillars had been made from black slate.
The red and black color contrasts of the painted pillars suggested to investigate the traces of
red color at the former pillars at the Würzburg cathedral, which I had discovered a few
months ago. Mainz and Würzburg are being connected by the river Main and of course the
color symbolism of the pillars might have been synchronized around 1200AD.

Etymology
• An I, Which had been Copied from the Word - Uploaded 11/19/2014
An inspection of ego-pronouns reveals that the oldest layer of ego-pronouns had been based
on the first human being „Adam“ (мен → „men“, respectively „mæn“ → „Mannus“, or old-
Persian „adam“). The names „Adam“ and “Men” in the ego-pronouns and „Mannu“ in the
Sardinian divine names „Babbu Mannu“ & “Mere Mannu” are signaling a correlation
between the ego-pronouns and the creation legend(s).
Ego-pronouns such as Sardinian DÉU are corresponding to the divine name DÈU. The
majority of all modern ego-pronouns consists of vowel combinations or scattered parts of
the names of a sky-god 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 „dèu“ indicate the preservation of less deteriorated versions 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 “æ” in Jutland and west-Norway.
• Etymology of the Genesis Legend
Creation legends describe the separation process of heaven and earth, day and night, man
and woman. In this creation process language supports the creation process by introducing
antipodes.
Does language repeat the creation process and symbolize the separations with linguistic
tools?
The creation process has been based on the dot-letter Yud (in Greek: the iota), from which
all other alphabetic letters and the composed words had been synthesized.
Even the teachers, such as Joseph Heinrich begin their reading lessons with the smallest
letter, the vowel “i” and teach reading and writing at the lower case cursive letters79: i, n, m,
u, e, ei, eu.
• Genesis Starting as the Vowel Word AEIOU - Uploaded 10/28/2014
The painting "Genesis Starting as the Vowel Word AEIOU" symbolizes a synthesis between
the world's creation as a design of a letter Jot, a set AEIOU of vowels, an alphabet and a
written script.
Especially the (included) old German Kurrent script reveals a set of handwriting letters,
which may have grown from multiple and variable extending one letter (Jot).
The basic principle probably may have been derived from Hebrew scripture and the
designers of the old German Kurrent script must have been scholars in ancient literature and
writing.
The color symbolism for the painting has been copied from my own, old school's notebook
and symbolizes alternating symbolic colors in medieval, “illuminated” scripture.
And having found the ancient Kurrent script lessons in old Austrian schoolbook I decided to

• I sing, therefore I am - Uploaded 10/06/2014
Based on comparative analysis in A Dictionary of Proto-Vowel Words the Creator Name and
the Ego-Pronoun are identical, similar of at least highly correlated. Now we might
investigate the philosophy behind the vowels' structure. The vowels themselves seem to be
sequenced according to their characteristics, which usually are related to the tongue's
position in singing or speaking
This process may be compared to Decartes' Cogito ergo sum - "I think, therefore I am".
In Singing the Divine Name the vowels of the words should be uttered in the correct
sequence. Animals may be inhibited in producing the correct sequence.
Only those who were able to produce the sound sequence [i][o][u] IOU (or DIOU-piter)
belonged to the human creatures. Controlling the tongue in the correct sequence and fashion
secured the identification of a human being.
“I am a singing thing to prove that I am a human being”.
• Red & Blue in Salvador Dali's Illustrations for Dante's "The Divine Comedy"
Red & Blue intensely have been applied by Salvador Dali in his 100 Illustrations to „The
Divine Comedy“. In 1957, the Italian government commissioned Salvador Dalí to paint a
series of 100 watercolor illustrations of Dante’s Divine Comedy, the greatest literary work
written in the Italian language. The illustrations were to be finished by 1965, the 700th
anniversary of the poet’s birth.
The color symbolism clearly follows the rules red for male, blue for female persons as given
in The Hermetic Codex II and A Lifetime's Coloring Book (1954-2014), e.g. blue for
Beatrice and orange for Dante.
A complete set of illustrations can be previewed at Salvador Dali Divine Comedy – 1963,
from which I selected those which obviously had been painted in red & blue. Most of Dali's
watercolor illustrations use orange or red for male and blue for female persons. I highlighted
some of the most remarkable color combinations
• A Dictionary of Proto-Vowel Words - Uploaded 09/30/14
Having discovered the vowel roots in European philosophy and mythology I decided to
design a Dictionary of Proto-Vowel Words, which might have followed the general design
rules for the most important formulas by applying pure vowel structures only.
The most relevant vowels are the low vowel [a], the front vowels [i] [y] [e], a semivowel [w]
and the back vowels [o] [u]. Corresponding vowel characters are A, I, Y, E, W, O and U.
Several vowel combinations and permutations have been analyzed:
-- AEIOU as a 5-vowel word for “lifetime” or “eternity”.
-- ÆIWO as a 5-vowel word for (eternal) “custom, tradition, law”
-- IAΩ as an alternative spelling for YHWH.
-- IU is an alternative 2-vowel root for IEUE (Jeve1), IOUE (Jove), -- IOU-piter's core
(Jupiter). The root IU also refers to just, justice, judge, Jew, etc.
-- IAU as a prototype for the personal pronoun of the first person singular (I), which might
have been designed for similarity between the Creator God and the creature.
-- (H)AWA (a prototype for Eve, the Biblical first woman, “a living being”)
The permutations for three vowels I, A and U are AIU, AUI, IAU, IUA, UAI, UIA. Only
AIU and IAU, AWA have been identified as elementary vowel-based roots.
• Eternity - a Pre-Thales-Root for Western Philosophy - Uploaded 09/30/14
Historians usually start their history of western philosophy with Thales81. According to
Bertrand Russell, "Western philosophy begins with Thales".
The analysis of linguistic statistics for patterns such as a high concentration of vowels
however reveals substantially relevant philosophical pre-Thalic philosophical ideas.
High concentrations of vowels indicate sacred words such as “eternity”, “very old”,
“custom”, “marriage”, etc.
The most relevant vowels are the low vowel [a], the front vowels [i] [y] [e], a semivowel [w]
and the back vowels [o] [u]. Corresponding vowel characters are A, I, Y, E, W, O and U.
Symbolically relevant vowels usually are long vowels.
Words for long time (“aion”), eternity, high age, custom, law, marriage, etc. usually start
with a low vowel [a] – or an “A”, to be followed by a front vowel such as [i] - “I” and
eventually to be closed by a back vowel such as [o] – or Ω.
This vowel sequence contrasts to the ego-pronouns such as jau, which usually start with a
front vowel such as [i] - “I”, eventually to be followed by a low vowel [a] – or an “A” and
eventually to be closed by a back vowel such as [u] – or U.
Ancient divine names usually are similar to ego-pronouns whereas modern divine names are
being generated by a formula: <divine name> = “D” & <ego-pronoun>.
A relevant anomaly for the etymological transitions of ego-pronouns ieu, iau, iou and ih (and
their corresponding divine names) is found near the Rhine's bifurcation at Chur,
Switzerland.
Both Jupiter and YHWH are to be interpreted as vowel sequences.
The vowel set in the Greek alphabet had been designed seemed to start with a low vowel [a]
– or an “Alfa”, to be centered by a or the front vowel Yod [i] - “I” and eventually to be
closed by a back vowel such as a long [u] [o] – respectively Y or Ω. The front vowel Yod
[i] - “I” is antipodal to the long [u] [o] – respectively Y or Ω.
The Greek alphabet (now with seven vowels: A-E-H-I-O-Y-Ω) lost its symmetrical vowel
structure at the introduction of the long vowels H and Ω (6th century BC). The Latin
alphabet lost its symmetrical vowel structure (now with six vowels A-E-I-O-U-Y) at the
introduction of the specific Greek letters Y and Z (146 BC).
Latin started with 5 vowels A, E, I, O, U. The primary diacritic was the apex used to mark
long vowels, which had previously been written double. However, in place of taking an
apex, the letter i was written as a long I-vowel.
Initially the ideal alphabets seem to have been designed for symmetrical arrangements of 5
vowels in a pattern A, E, I, O, U around the central vowel “I”. An ancient version of the
arrangement uses 3 vowels in a pattern A, I, U respectively A, I, Ω around the central vowel
“I”. The pattern A, E, I, O, U is equivalent to Frederick III's device A-E-I-O-U.
The 5-letter design has been optimized very carefully. The extension to a 7-vowel pattern
however lacks symmetry and seems to have been managed by ill-prepared or unknowing
architects.
Most detailed documentation has been listed in the overview Proceedings in the Ego-
Pronouns' Etymology (Overview).
The vowel symbolism in the pre-Thalic sources significantly influences etymology for the
ego-pronouns and the divine names.

The following documentation has been composed from a (high-quality) 100-page photo-
book of my paintings between 1981 and 2014.
The androgynous paintings have been copied several times to optimize the graphical
representations of platonic ideas. Most of the inspiration for androgynous portraits have
been given by Colan and Picasso.
82 Title in German language: „Der Mann, der nur aus Wörtern besteht“
Musil symbolizes the color contrast of clothing as the significant difference between both
mythical “Siamese Twins”, represented by the siblings Ulrich and Agathe, by their clothing
colors. In his design papers Musil had named these primary colors red, green, blue and
yellow as “bordered areas”.
• The Color Symbolism of Philosophers - Uploaded 07/28/14
In “Man without qualities” there is a quotation of antipodal color symbolism, which I tried
to decipher. Musil must have considered yellow and blue as the complementary color pairs,
as well as red and green, whereas he considered the mixture of antipodes violet or purple:
“We might dress ourselves in an opposite pattern, Agathe delightedly responded. Yellow one
of us, and the other blue, or red opposite to green. And our hair might be colored violet or
purple”. The quotation does not meet Goethe's nor Newton's theory. However searching the
web I identified the four color system of Ewald Hering, explaining Musil's expression. The 4
color system also has been applied to setup the Natural Color System (NCS).

Wading through Musil's voluminous, complex manuscripts including his sketches, diaries
and other 8pt-shorthand coded writings it took me some time to identify the keynote in
Robert Musil's „Man Without Qualities“.
Having found some of the keys the keynote soon became clear to me. Musil is one of the
great authors who returned back to the androgynous roots of mystical experience.
• Notes to Robert Musil's 'Salvator'-Project - Uploaded 07/12/14
Using mythical names such as Diotima and Bonadea the author Robert Musil in his work “A

which God as a “Creator without qualities” created a “Man without Qualities”. This creation
procedure however will only be successful if we include an intermediate creation phase.
Androgynous symbols
• Androgynous Symbols in Rembrandt's Return of the Prodigal Son – published 25/4/2014
The Return of the Prodigal Son is one of the last oil paintings, which Rembrandt completed
before his death. The brightly illuminated hands of the father suggest “mothering and
fathering at once”; the left hand appears larger and more masculine, set on the son's
shoulder, while the right hand is softer and more receptive in gesture. The left hand seems to
be heavier than the elegantly fingered right hand, but this may also be a treacherous track. Is
there another alternative method to verify the idea of fathering and mothering?
We may also check the fingers' length. For fingers we may measure the digit ratio, 2D:4D,
which may be varying from a median value 0,98 for white males and 1,0 for females.

Looking for the heart of Europe I visited Aachen and Maastricht.
I checked colors in a number of ancient paintings, frescoes and sculptures, which were
supposed to depict Charlemagne, saints and noblemen. Indeed nobility referred to the
biblical colors red, blue and purple as they had been defined before translators started
misinterpreting yellow for blue.
Charlemagne used the same basic principle in concentrating his (holy?) vowels in his
monogram, which seems to have been designed as a cartouche made of surrounding and
protecting consonants.

The æ-vowel is a grapheme formed from the letters a and e, which has been promoted to the
full status of a letter in the alphabets of some languages, including Danish, Norwegian,
Icelandic and Faroese.
As a letter of the Old English Latin alphabet, it was called æsc ("ash tree") after the Anglo-
Saxon futhorc rune ᚫ, which it transliterated; its traditional name in English is still ash /æʃ/.
As a remarkable feature the ancient word æsc seems to have bene equipped with a long
vowel æ, whereas the modern word ash contains a short vowel “a”.

-- Jesus was wearing the traditional red & blue garments and
-- the most prominent female visitors did wear a yellow and the most prominent male visitor
did wear a green robe.
I wondered if a statistical analysis of these paintings would reveal a trendsetting for these
colors and investigated some web-images for the standard colors, the alternatives and for
Giotto's series of images in which the cleansing of the temple had been included.

Alphabetical hieroglyphs
• Encryption and Decryption of the Alphabetical Hieroglyphs - Published: 18 / 07 / 2013
The oldest A-I-U vowel concepts seem to have retained their original vowel structures in all
languages. Existing A-E-I-O-U vowel concepts seem to have retained their original vowel
structures up to their first modifications in which vowels had been modified.
Greek language lost its symmetrical vowel structure at the introduction of the long vowels H
and Ω (6th century BC). Latin language lost its symmetrical vowel structure at the
introduction of the specific Greek letters Y and Z (146 BC).
In the Greek alphabet the first letter A and the last letter Upsilon (U) initially had been
defined as vowels. In the 6th century BC the Greek alphabet had been modified to use a first
letter (A) and the last letter (Ω) as vowels. Latin obviously always used a consonant (X or Z)
as a last letter. The vowel concept for the Latin alphabet may be considered as intact if the Y-
vowel is ignored.
• Notes to Sefer Yetzirah - Published: 17 / 07 / 2013
Early philosophy generally had been based on vowel symbolism to design the divine names,
eventually to be paralleled by other basic concepts for the ego-pronouns and followed by the
design for the days of the weeks as illustrated in the appendix I.
Sabian philosophy, based on 7-fold Chaldean planetary system, is not consistent to Greek
philosophy as described in Timaeus and the Hebrew concepts in the Sefer Yetzirah. The
allotment of the Seven Letters is not found in the ancient copies of the "Sepher Yetzirah".
The basic system seems to have been started as a trinity-based system (based on I, A, U or Ι,
Α, Ω), for generating the five long vocals â, ê, î, ô, û, which gradually expanded to the 5-
fold Latin system (based on the vowels A, E, I, O, U) and culminated in the 7-fold Greek
vowel system (based on A, E, H, I, O, Y, Ω).
Sometimes the letter “H” has not been interpreted as a vowel ā or e, but left as a vowel
symbol “h” (probably interpreted as an “eta” or” “æ”). See the appendix for these cases
ĪHŌA, IHE, etc...
The basic trinity concepts may also be expressed by the leading trinity vowels ΙΑΩ in the 7-
fold ΙΑΩΟΥΗΕ (Jehovah), suggesting some expansion phases in which the concepts had
been evolving by adding vowels in a sequence, following a pattern I, IA, IAU or ΙΑΩ,
IAUA, IEOUA IHEHOUA, ΙΑΩΟΥΗΕ..

Semiotics
• Semiotic Studies (explaining the shibboleths) - Published: 03 / 05 / 2013
Membership to clans seem to have been the main reason for the definition of shibboleths.
Etymological shibboleths are special pronunciation (such as the King's or the Queen's
English), the letters in the divine names and ego-pronouns. Some of these shibboleths
became obsolete with the transition from dialects to standard languages. Other shibboleths
involve the colors in flags, coats-of-arms, burial tombs, temples, sculptures, medieval
manuscripts and paintings.
All deformations seem to have been used as various archaic forms of shibboleths. Teeth
deformations such as sharpening, amputation and coloring have been applied to encode the
clan membership respectively the noble or married status. Other deformations include foot
deformation, the piercings, incisions and colored tattoos, which in detail have been reported
as red colors (for Roman emperors, for marriage in India and Vietnam), blue colors (reported
by Julius Caesar for the Picts). Originally all deformations have been considered as honor
and “beautiful” in the sense of the accepted membership to a honorable clan or a social,
respectively religious community.
Decoding the shibboleths may often be difficult for various reasons, mostly for the loss of
the original symbolism. Generally shibboleths however must have been referring to
important archaic structures, such as marriage, maturity, readiness for childbirth, birth,
death, rebirth, religious concepts, clan-membership, etc.

There are some traces of capitalization of the personal pronouns of the 1st and the 2nd person
which have been documented in "The Origins of a Pronoun" by Palmer, S.B. (2005). Some
of the ancient customs in capitalizing ego-pronouns suggest that the Y, I, Ik, Ic and Ich
might have been derived or correlated to the very holy Yggdrasil, an æsc "ash tree", which
may have been honored by an upper case for religious reasons. The word Ygg (Odin) might
also have been considered as a master for his creature “Y”, Yg, Eg, Ich, Ik, and Æ consisting
of a vowel combination Æ = a male Askr & a female Embla.

etymology. Still some of the author's ideas seem reasonable. Even at the time of Shakespeare
the spelling has been arbitrary, as he occasionally varied his name in writing. Initially letters
have been understood as both hieroglyphics or runes: sacred symbols used in an atmosphere
of superstition84.
Etymology
• Archaic Phrases - Published: 12/28/2012
Occasionally I feel to dig into the etymological treasury of my memories. Only few of us
seem to enjoy the revival of lost words, but I do.
A great number of strange etymological anomalies may be identified in remote areas, such
as colonies, islands mountains and other remote territories. I remember those strange south-
African words which had been invented by the colonists to describe new objects, animals
and situations. The naming conventions used Dutch words which in their combinations turn
out to be most inventive: peuselhappie85, hijsbakkie86, moltrein87, papwiel88. Usually these
newly created words are rather long.
In contrast the archaic words will often be the shortest words in a dictionary. In studying the
shortest and probably also oldest words I identified æ as a multifunctional word, which may
have been a root for may other words and symbols. This root-word may be identified as a
basic principle in Germanic, especially in Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon dialects. The tree's
common English name, ash, goes back to the Old English æsc, while the generic name
originated in Latin. Both words also meant "spear" in their respective languages.
• As Slow As Possible – S(t)imulating Eternity - Published: 11/30/2012
From the early beginnings the idea of eternity seems to have been fascinating our species. It
must have been a religious thought that man as an image of God should try to be as eternal
as his/her's Creator.
There have been numerous attempts to symbolize eternity – in thoughts, tones, songs,
vocals, vowels, words, poems, architecture, paintings, books … Thinking of an instrument
the human voice has its limitations and choosing from the alphabet the vowels, which are
representing the vocals, seem to be the best of all choices, much better than the consonants,
which must end at the closing of one of our muscles.

undertaken the trouble to encrypt a message we may have lost.
The message I found is a strange correlation between some European Ego-pronouns89 and
the words for the Proto-Indo-European sky-god Dyaus. The correlation seems to be varying
over the European continent and may have disappeared in large areas. Still a number of
these links may have survived the turbulence in a series of migrations of peoples. This report
will be dedicated to the possible impact of the mass migrations on the concentration of the
Ego-Pronouns in God's Name.

Savoy and Nimes
• The Ego-Pronouns in the Divine Names - Published: 11/17/2012
An analysis of the ego-pronouns for various European dialects reveals a strange correlation
between the ego-pronouns and the corresponding divine names in this dialect or language.
These correlations mainly occur in the areas which had belonged to the Roman Empire, but
some strange exceptions (such as the Baltic states) cannot be explained by linguistic rules.
Special details have been delivered by a Savoyard dictionary with most specific annotations
to the exact location of the dialect variants. Dialect variants seem to be concentrated in
Alpine and remote areas, but it is not easy to find the detailed dictionaries for these dialects.
The Savoyard dialect is a mystery because it uses so many ego-pronouns beginning with “D”
and “Z”. An abundance of consonants in neighboring European areas had not been found
before.
• The Ego-pronouns and Divine Names in Savoy French Dialects - Published: 11/16/2012
Savoy-French is the name for a French dialect, which has been spoken in the landlocked
duchy Savoy. It has been independent between 1416 - 1714, then belonged to the kingdom
of Sicily and from 1720 to the kingdom of Sardinia. From 1792 Savoy has been occupied by
and from 1805 it belongs to France. These relations probably had some impact on the
dialects.
“Jeudi” is “de diu”, literally translated Diu's day: “God's day”. A voluminous dictionary
defines the variants for the word “God” and the ego-pronoun90 kunnen zijn91. The divine
names are correlating to the sky-god Dyaus, Zeus, respectively Jupiter and the equivalent
Nordic god Tyr.
In the central area of Savoy the ego-pronoun is “DE”, whereas God is named DYU or
dejeû, dezyeû in which the ego-pronoun seems to be a sort of preposition for the divine
name.
All samples in the table suggest a strong correlation between the word God and the ego-
pronoun.
• “Yiou” & “Dïou” in the dialect of Nimes - Published: 11/15/2012
Antoine Hippolyte Bigot (1825 - 1897) wrote an interesting and beautiful poem in Provencal,
or to be more precise: the dialect of the city of Nîmes. The dialect proves the correlation
between the ego-pronouns92 (“yiou”, respectively “mïou”) and the divine name (“Dïou”)
which are contrasting to the Occitan versions “iéu” respectively “Diéu” as they have been
found in Frédéric Mistral's Mirèio).
The “Dïou”-spelling directly seems to refer to *Diou-piter, the PIE-root for Jupiter. Diou has
also been found in the dialect of Villar-St-Pancrace where the ego-pronouns are iòu më,
respectively m’ iòu 93
The poem is named “Fraternita” and I was unable to find it at the web, so a few hard-copies
will have to do to explain some of the special words.

Of course one of the days of the week (usually Tuesday or Thursday) will also correlate to
the same divine name which had been chosen as a reference for “day”. In this overview
consisting of 9 maps the standard salutations may be correlating with: divine names, the
word for “day”, ego-pronouns and weekdays (usually Tuesday or Thursday).

sky-god's name *Dyeus and its derivatives. In the Proto-Indo-European system all European
ego-pronouns seem to have been designed as vowel sequences. In a third stage ancient
religions often started from a bipolar deity, such as the Roman god Janus or Dianus,..
In a fourth period of time both Julius Caesar and Tacitus compare the most important deity
in Germania to Mercury (Hermes). In the Middle Age the emperors and kings preferred the
colors red, blue and purple for their garments, graves and flags.
Claudius' letters
• The Y-Proceedings (The Y-Key to the English Ego-Pronouns) Published: 12 / 01 / 2011
One of the first genuine English Ego-pronouns is the capitalized word “Y”, which has been
used by Wycliffe between 1382 and 1395. Suetonius describes Claudius' invention of three
new letters Y, Ↄ and V and added them to the alphabet. Wycliffe may have understood the
symbolism of the sound between u and i and the androgynous creation legends.
Dante
• The Prime Words in Adam's Language Published: 04 / 23 / 2011
The origin of human speech may have been based on the prime words which most probably
may have included the personal pronouns of the first and second person. Dante Alighieri in
his De vulgari eloquentia suggests that the name El was the first sound emitted by Adam.
The IU-Codes
• The Diety IU Published: 02 / 16 / 2011
IU has been identified as a mayor early deity in several works. The name has been found in
a variety of other important divine beings, such as: - IU-piter (Jupiter and Juno) - YHVH (to
be interpreted as IU - Iao and Iau - Diaus and other Indo-European names for the sky-god
and the Ego-pronouns.
• English and Globish - Optimized Linguistic Designs Published: 02 / 08 / 2011
The Morse-code-principle of assigning shorter sequences of dots to frequently used symbols
obviously has been designed to optimize the communication speed. Now it might be
interesting to derive a theoretical linguistic design by shortening words according to their
priority.
• E for Enigma (An Overview) Published: 01 / 24 / 2011
Genuine vowel-structures may be identified in the Ego-pronouns and in divine names, which
seem to contain a triple set of gender information: a male I-, respectively an androgynous A-
and a female U-element. Androgynous symbols may also have been replaced by other E- or
O-vowels or IU-combinations. These male, androgynous and female elements may have
been considered as the archaic fundamentals in human society and creation.
Delphi's Letter E
• E - of the E-symbol Engraven Over the Gate of Apollos Temple at Delphi Published: 01 / 20
/ 2011 - Reads: 758
The shortest of all aphorisms is the E-vowel, inscribed above the entrance portal. The vowel
has been explained as a monotheistic concept Thou art one, resembling the biblical response
I Am that I Am to Moses, when he asked for God's name (Exodus 3:14). Simultaneously the
E-concept may also be the valid answer to the enigma of the ieu-pronouns and the Dieu-
names in Provencal language.
Symbolism of Colors
• Symbolism of Purple and Scarlet in Greek and Roman Societies Published: 01 / 19 / 2011
In order to investigate the symbolism of purple and scarlet in Greek and Roman societies I
searched the "The Parallel Lives" by Plutarch for quotations of purple and scarlet, which
seem to be the most prominent symbolic colors – from the beginning of Roman history until
Plutarch's writings around 100 AD.
• Red and Blue in Architecture and Artwork Published: 01 / 15 / 2011
There is a strange imbalance between red & blue-combinations and other basic colors like
green and yellow. The imbalance has been identified from the earliest forms of Jewish,
Greek and Roman cultures. Greek temples were, as a rule, colorfully painted. Only three
basic colors, with no shades, were used: white, blue and red.

Wycliffe
• The Wycliffe Bible Published: 12 / 24 / 2010 - Reads: 926
The Wyclif Bible clearly defines a common source "nouyt" for the creation of the sky, earth
and for “man”. “God made of nouyt hem, male and female” defines the first “man” as a
plural individual, male and female character, which implies an androgynous couple.
The Ego-pronoun (the personal pronoun of the first person singular) has been defined as an
upper case character “Y” instead of the modern “I”. In analogy to the Ego-pronoun "iéu" in
Occitan language the Y-pronoun symbolized an androgynous iu-synthesis in the divine
concept.
• The Central Religious Images in the Garden of Earthly Delights Published: 12 / 09 / 2010 -

The Ego-Pronouns
• Etymology of the Ego-Pronoun („I“) Published: 11 / 27 / 2010
Three layers of successive pronouns (Man-Ieu-I,Yod) may be identified in IE-languages,
which all symbolize the creation legend of a first human being. The IeU- and Yod-layers
may probably have been influenced by the Hebrew religion at Abraham's contact to the
Indo-European migrations. The divine name IHVH corresponds to the IeU-core in the
second layer of the pronoun's evolution.
• Decoding the Ego-Pronoun („I“) Published: 11 / 26 / 2010
In Tajik, Persian, Hindi/Urdu and Kurdish the Ego-pronoun is 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). In Europe some dialects and languages in the remote mountainous areas
still conserve the original form of the European Ego-pronoun in the threefold vowel-
combinations ieu, iau respectively iou, which as IU-Symbols refer to the androgynous core
in the series IU-piter, Dieu, Diu, Diou, Dio, Dios, Dievas, IHVH, etcetera. In a singular case
(the Sardinian dialect Campidanese) the Ego-pronoun dèu is identical to the divine name
Deu.
• The Hieroglyphs in the Ego-Pronoun Published: 11 / 24 / 2010
Most European languages and dialects (French, Iberian, Italian, Celtic (southern German
and English) and Rumanian reveal a simple relation between the Ego-pronoun (I) and the
divine name. The divine name may be generated by adding up “D”, the Ego-pronoun and
eventually a trailer character “s”.
• Sacred Phonemes - Moulding the sacred words Published: 11 / 19 / 2010
The Ancients of Day described the creation of man as a moulding procedure, in which God
created an Adam Cadmon (symbolized by the personal pronoun iéu) from an image Diéu.
They literally developed the idea of a creation from one singular word Diéu which has been
used as a mould for a complete dictionary.
• A History of Proto-Indo-European Religion Published: 11 / 17 / 2010 - Reads: 926
The PIE-System has been designed as a bipolar concept of an androgynous deity, which
created an androgynous human being according to its own image, consisting of a male and a
female half. The first androgynous human being has been encoded in the divine name (e.g.
Diéu), in the corresponding pronoun of the first person singular (e.g. iéu) and in the colors
red (male), blue (female) and purple (androgynous, divine).

The specified formula for generating the divine name, in which the divine name is being
derived by concatenating a character “D” (respectively Z, Th or Þ), “the pronoun of the first
person singular (for English and old-German “I”) and a trailing character “s” works
perfectly for English and old-German languages: - English: “D” + “i” + “s” => “Dis”.

falsifications and will allow us to reconstruct the roots of civilisation
• A Cultural Earthquake (The Proto-Indo-European-concept) Published: 10 / 26 / 2010
The Proto-Indo-European-concept seems to have been originated 4000 BC at Volgograd,

domestication of cattle and an integrated management, which proved to be successful as a
combination.
• Reconstruction of the PIE-History Published: 10 / 25 / 2010
According to etymological studies the PIE-language arose around 3500 before Christ. The

impact and magnitude of an integrated PIE-concept must be considered as much higher
compared to the mere sum of the singular concepts.
• The PIE Concept - Decoding the Proto Indo European Language Published: 10 / 08 / 2010
This overview investigates the correlation between a number of divine names, the pronouns
and their bipolar elements. European languages derived their linguistic concepts from the
common Indo-European sky-god Dyaus, which in its purest form has been copied to god's
name (Diéu) in Provençal language.
