Etruscan Lexeme AVIL KHURVAR as a Metaphor of Female Cheating

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that incense in your hand?

One of the most intriguing and significant pre-Roman ethnicities, known from the history
books as Etruscans (Latin Etrusci > Tusci), have populated primarily the Apennine
peninsula province of Toscany, the toponym whose etymology the ethnonym Tusci
underlies.Their comet has appeared on the historical heaven putatively around 1200 BC
and burned down at the beginning of the New era, as they have been assimilated into the
Roman world. Etruscan´s culture was unique and fascinating, although, their language
seems to be paradoxically indecipherable. Their script, the antecedent of the Latin, was
probably the acculturation of the Phoenician abecedarium. The ethnonym - RASE was
how they called themselves. During the archeological excavation on the site of Pyrgi - port
of the ancient Etruscan city Caisra (natively Rascia, today called Cerveteri), a significant
historical artifact, named Pyrgi Tablets, was unearthed. From its discovery in 1964 until
today, it was the most frequently researched and mentioned Etruscan language inscription.

Three gold tabulae memorialis, dated around 500 BC; inscribed in Etruscan, and Phoenician script

The mainstream scholars advocate the non-Indo-European paradigm of the Etruscan

language, whose decipherment was theorized referencing the Etruscan-Phoenician
Billingual theorem, based upon the assumption that Phoenicians had Proto-Hebraic
ancestry. If Etruscan was an Indo-European language, the interpreting via Hebraic reminds
one of the non-deaf speakers who unduly use sign language. Howsoever, many
linguistically and genomic-associated studies scholars and amateurs until now publicized,
but the issue on the Etruscan language leaves only unsatisfactory solved. Thus, to avoid the
still existing linguistic inconsistencies, this short essay has tested a hypothesis that the
Etruscan was, in a broader sense, the Indo-Aryan (Vedic) language, ad hoc constructed in
the manner of the Grammarian´s Samskrta. On the Pyrgi Tablet appearing (red-underlined)
lexemes - SAL GLUVENI – water-suet clumps seeing - Haruspex and
- AVIL KHURVAR > avil χurvar – turbid Female demon, will be chosen to consider
the applicability and historical underlying of the alternative theory. Particularly in latter
case, the mainstream paradigm argues by disrespecting the usual scientific rigor, reading
this lexeme arbitrarily as avil - year, Kurvar – month July. This interpretation has neither
linguistical nor historical underlying; it is a high-profile academic guessing.

Vedic protoscientificism in the Etruscan lexis

To understand the essence of the language, the ideas of philosopher L. Wittgenstein could
someone inspirationally bring forth. In his famous work Tractatus Logico-Phylosophicus
he has accentuated that 4.021 Der Satz ist ein Bild der Wirklichkeit – the sentence is a
picture of reality. It suggests that the language is a thought model of our world, which
reflexes the logical picture created in our mind. In terms of the Etruscan as Indo-Aryan
language, it means that it has inherited and lexically incorporated the Vedic worldview,
expressed through the unity of five Ayurvedic elements; water, fire, earth, air, ether. The
mythologem SAL G(K)LUVENI needs to demonstrate the plausibility of this theory. All
five ways of lexeme´s interpreting reflex the five aspects of the subject-object reality; It is
a linguistic structure in which a particular lexeme expresses the world wholeness. The
correspondences which the interpretation of the lexeme underlie are as follows:

-SAL; It a homonym which corresponds to sala [Sanskrit, noun] – water, house, salr [Old
Norse, noun] – room, building, sala [Lithuanian/Latvian, noun] – village, selida [Old High German,
noun] – dwelling, house, salipwos [Gothic, noun] – inn, dwelling, selitva/selo [Old Slavic, noun]
– dwelling/village < *solo/eha-/*sel- – dwelling, settlement. Another morphological match
belongs to the hyponym *h1el- – water, liquid > salivat [Old Slavic, verb] – pour out,
libation, < *seik-/*selg̑- – pour out, release, salo [Panslavic, verb] – lard, liguid grease <
*sélpes- – oil, grease. Finally, someone could interpret the morpheme SAL as a
morphological match of the sara [early Vedic, noun] – salt, sol [Old Slavic, noun] – salt, sāl
[Latin, noun] – salt, salz/salt [Old High German/Gothic, noun] – salt, sāle [TocharianA, noun] – salt,
άλας [Greek, noun] – salt < *sal-/*seha-(e)l- – salt
-G(K)LU; It corresponds to glau [Sanskrit, noun] – round lumps, lumps of the flesh of the
sacifical animal, globe, gumulas/gabalas [Lithuanian, noun] – lump, bundle, galvu/klucis
[Latvian, noun] – head/lump, glava/kluvko [Old Slavic, noun] – head/clew, κεφαλή [Greek, noun]
– head, nob, glaba [Latin, noun] - lump < *ghebhōl – head. Likewise, it is the cognate
*g̑hòln ~ *g̑hòlos – gall.
- VENI; It corresponds to venati [Sanskrit, verb, veni 1st personal singular] – see, know, praise,
vanaiti [Avesta, verb] – to win, triumph, vinnēt [Latvian, verb] – win, (o)venčati [Serbian, verb] –
marry, to be crowned, ενκτοζ [Greek, noun] – fame. There is a class of IE words comprising
the stem ven/van, antecedents of the semantic forms praise, win, though, reconstructed
under the *weid-/u̯eid- – see, know. Generally, it is the hyponym Veda. Thus, we have the
correspodences; video [Latin, verb] – see, veit [Old Norse, verb] = weiz [Old High German, verb]=
wait [Gothic, verb] = know. The nearest correspondence show the terms věděti/videti [Old
Slavic/Serbian, verb] – know/see, vaēδa [Avesta, verb] – know(s), see(s), véda [Sanskrit, verb] –
know(s) < *u̯eid- – know, see.

1. Molybdomancy (Vedic element water)

Through the lexeme - SAL GLU VENI AS - literally water-lumps-see-
me, the creator of two metal tablets is introducing himself, as me, the water-lumps seer; a
practitioner of the divination technique, called MOLYBDOMANCY (etymologically comes
from Greek molybdos - Lead, and manteia - divination). In this procedure, molten metal,
usually Lead or Tin, was dropped into the water, creating by cooling different clumps,
which are becoming objects of divination. Except as superstitious amusement of the
ordinary people, this technique had its psycho-therapeutical goal, based on the fear from
splashing of the molten metal during the seance execution, obligatory above the naked
body of the patient. It was a way to cure a psychological disturbance, e.g., suppresing
phobias and anxiety through the induced fear of metal splashing.
This divination practice was very popular in the whole ancient world, especially in the
domains of the Proto-Slavic influence. Even today, this tradition is keept alive in Slavic
countries, for example, in BiH where the technique of lead pouring is called SALIVANJE
STRAVE (literally translated as pouring out of dread), or in Russia, called ВОСКОЛЕЙ
(pronounced as VOSKOLEJ – wax pouring), where instead of lead, wax is used. Romans
probably inherited this custom from Etruscans, and Greeks putatively from Thracians or
Illyrians.

around the remains of Romans Villa
Rustica, probably trown away from
the ordinary people after the lead
pouring witchery.

2. Ancestor cult (Vedic element air)

It is the mythologic interpretation of the lexeme SAL GLUVENI AS; literally home –
head - praise - me, whence me, the Head of Home praiser. It describes one of the oldest,
already in Neolith, attested religious custom, viz., to praise the home patron; called
likewise the ancestry cult, and based upon the belief in the afterlife existence of the soul.
Etruscan´s home patron represented the figure called Lar. This tradition, in the modern
Slavic world, behold only by Serbs and Macedonians, is called SLAVA PORODICE –
praise of the family or more adapted to the spirit of Christianity, KRSNA SLAVA –
patron saint. Furthermore, the lexeme above reveals some common Germanic-Slavic
antecedents in the Etruscan vocabulary. It is the proto-word Gluven from Heinrich Bretz´s
poem:
MER WÄLLEN BLEWEN WOT MER SEN WIR WOLLEN BLEIBEN WAS WIR SIND
Mer wällen blewen wot mer sen, Wir wollen bleiben was wir sind
Gott hälf as enst uch engden. Gott hilf uns einst, auch immer.
Mer wessen wot mer schäldig sen, Wir wissen was wir schuldig sind.
den Diuden uch den Kengden. Den Toten und den Kindern.
Mer wällen lejen festen Greangd, Wir wollen legen festen Grund
af Troa uch Gottes Gluven. auf Treu und Gottesglauben.
Dro kend ihr kun mer sähn ech zea, Dann kommet nur, wir sehen euch
as Harz kennt ihr net ruwen. zu, das Herz könnt ihr nicht rauben
As Harz es detsch, as Gott es detsch, Das Herz ist deutsch, deutsch unser
än as uch asen Kengden. Gott, in uns und unseren Kindern.
Mer wällen blewen wot mer sen, Wir wollen bleiben was wir sind
Gott hälf -as enst uch engden. Gott hilf uns einst, auch immer.

This poem was written in Saxony dialect, descending putatively from the common, Slavic-
German Protolanguage, which corresponds closely to the Etruscan literary (Lingua
franca) language. That fact particularly well demonstrates the lexeme Gottes Gluven.
According to our Indo-Aryan (closely to Protoslavic-Sanskrit) interpretation, the term
GLUVENI / GLaUVENI means a head (patron) praising. Modern German verb
GLAUBEN – believe, derives from its archaic antecedent GLAUVEN or
GLUVEN. Therefore, it is contextually reasonable that Gottes Gluven means believing in
God. This example demonstrates very archetypal how old pagans divination practice
transformed into its Christianity counterparts; hard version – believe in God, i.e., light
version – patron saint. Finally, the etymological analysis provides some interesting
conclusions. Thus, if we drop the morpheme GLU in the lexeme SAL GLUVENI, it
derives the aphetism SALVENI, which through metathesis creates the quasi-ethnonym
SLAVENI [Serbian-Croatian, noun, plural] - Slavs. However, the analyzes above have revealed
that the polysemic lexeme SAL(glu)VENI comprises the semantical aspects of Etruscan´s
divination (diagnostic) technique, as well as water and ancestor cult. Hence, the aphetism
Slaveni is actually, not an ethnonym, rather could be a mythologem. Could someone then
conclude that Etruscans are Slaveni? They called themselves RASE, in the sense of
ethnonym, but, confessionally and cultural-mythologically, they are SalVeni i.e., Slaveni.
Historically relevant attestation of the quasi-ethnonym (mythologem) Sal Veni appeared in
Procopiuse´s book De Bello Gothico (The Gothic War, 6 ct. AD). He has mentioned the
conflict with the invading Slavic tribes on the Lower Danube limes, calling them ANTE
and SKLAVENOI/SCLABENOI (Σκλαυηνοί/Σκλαβηνοί). Consequently, the latter is the
Greek-Latinized descendent of the Etruscan SALGLUVENI / SALKLUVENI /
SALCLUVENI. Hence, the etymology of the word Slaveni – Slavs, is well attested with
the Etruscan mythologem Sal(glu)veni, which has chronologically succesive mutated
occasionally into the ethnonym, for instance, Sclavi, Slovenia, Slavonia, Slovakia, etc.

3. Haruspex (Vedic element earth)

Another Etruscan very popular method of divination was to inspect the entrails of the
sacrificial animals, especially the sheep´s liver, Latin Haruspex. They inspected the
pathogenic manifestation of the internal organs; suet/water lumps, wens, polyps, etc.
Depending on the location and form of clumps, the ´diagnostic´ was pronounced or
soothsaid.This procedure was not a pure witchery, but kind of a Proto-science, based upon
the principle of the mirroring of the external world onto the internal. Therefore, the liver-
surface pathology can someone see as an internal manifestation of the, for instance,
celestial constellation influence or air humidity influence. It is known that in the Fluke-
infection cycle, the crucial role has the species of Mud snail, whose prevalence depends
directly on the humidity of the air, which on the other hand, lets someone estimate the
probability of the rainfall. Hence, the intensity of the liver Fluke-infection and the
probability of the rainfall is directly proportional. The medium, which transfers the
interaction between external and internal entities is known as Ether (Akaša).

the scene of Haruspex
The Fluke infected liver is plagued randomly with the water-suet lumps called in Etruscan
SAL G(K)LU. The procedure of observing these lumps on the liver´s surface describes the
lexeme SAL GLUVENI – water/suet lumps seeing. As Etruscans probably believed, the
main goal of this practice was a kind of medical diagnostic, for instance, for the owner of
the sacrificed animals, because the demons (hyponym for diseases) occupying a liver, can
come over into the human´s body. Any other spiritual or metaphysical aspect of this
procedure, for example, weather forecast, evil-eye influence, chakra opening, cannot be
derelict. Romans inherited this procedure from Etruscans and called it Haruspex or
Haruspices, which in archaic Latin means haru – entrails and spec - to observe, inspection.
The priest who performs the sacral procedure of liver seeing called himself Salkluveniaš.

4. Ichor drinking (Vedic element fire) - mélās zōmós

If we disassemble the (di-) grapheme = = Y P > PJ, it derives the lexeme SAL
KLUV EPJI AS, literally water-blood-drink-me, whence me, the ichor drinker. The ichor
is a sacral beverage, the mixture of water, blood, and suet/salt. The transliteration above is
based upon the following correspondences:
-KLUV; kīlāla [Sanskrit, noun] – blood, krūra [early Vedic, adjective] – bloody, klv/krv [Old
Slavic, noun] – blood, cruor [Latin, noun] – thick blood, krawian [Old Prussian, noun] – blood,
kraūjas [Lithaunian, noun] – blood, xrura [Avesta, adjective] – bloody, κρεα [Greek, hyponym] –
raw flesh < *kréuha/ *kreuə̀-– blood. It is the distinctive Indo-European consonant
alternation *l > r in Old Vedic, which all these descendants underlie.
-EPJI; It corresponds to āpīya [Sanskrit, noun] – having drunk in, apaya [Avesta, verb] – to
aquire, opijat [Old Slavic, verb] – drink, опьяненный [Russian, adjective] – drunk, iedzert
[Latvian, verb] – drink, πίνω [Greek, verb] – drink, potio [Latin, verb] – drink < *h1ēgwhmi/
*peh3(i)- – drink/swalow; likewise, the hyponymically cognate *h2eP – water.
The lexeme SAL KLUV in the Etruscan vernacular means water-blood mixture > sukrvica
[Old Slavic, noun] – ichor, sanguis [Latin, noun] – blood. Finally, interpreting the morpheme
SAL as a morphological match of the sara [Sanskrit, noun] – salt, sol [Old Slavic, noun] – salt,
sāl [Latin, noun] – salt, salz/salt [Old High German/Gothic, noun] – salt, sāle [TocharianA, noun] –
salt, άλας [Greek, noun] – salt < *sal-/*seha-(e)l- – salt, it suggests the reading SAL KLUV –
literally salt-blood, whence salted blood. It is a cognate of the historically attested term
μέλας ζωμός [Greek, pronounced. as mélās zōmós] – black broth, an infamous meal of the
Sparta soldiers. The primary recipe contained boiled pig´s meat, blood, salt, and vinegar.

5. Palindrome ( Vedic element Ether – manifestation of sound)

Reading the lexeme SAL GLUVENIAS from right to left (originally from left to fight), we
get an entirely new morphological variant, which, considering the context-plausibility,
leads to the derivative SA INE VUL GLAS. If we follow the principle of semantical
invariability (as forward, so backward), the derivative lexeme should paraphrase the
procedure of entrails-inspection, viz., Haruspex. Let´s consider the correspondences;
-INE; It corresponds probably to the Antelope species, which was Etruscan´s sacrificial
animal, called - ENIAKA. It matches the zoonym ena/enaka [Sanskrit, noun] – black
antelope, jelen [Serbian-Croatian, noun] – deer < *h1elh1ēn – deer. The zoonym Ine belongs to
the Etruscan ancestry language, which through metathesis (palindrome) derives the Eni >
Ena. In the ancient time, the species of antelope was common (domesticated) Euro-Asian
animal.
-VUL; The nearest morphological matches are vala/ulba [Sanskrit, noun] – cave/cavity, uvala
[Old Slavic, noun] – cove, alvus [Latin, noun] – womb, halluwa [Hittite, noun] – hollow, velve
[Latvian, noun) – cove, < *h2elwos/ *h2elu̯os – cavity, hollow. The morpheme vul matches
exactly the stem in words vulva [German, noun] - vulva, female genitals and Vulkan [German,
Slavic, noun] – volcano < *g(w)elbhus – the womb.
-GLAS; Though morphologically simple, it is a lexeme of ambiguous etymology;
someone should estimate it as a homonym or hyponym. Considering the alternation *l > r,
the term glas mutates in the *PIE:Indo-Aryan:Proto-Slavic triangle between the meaning
voice and eat. The Etruscan GLAS correspodens to glas/голос [Serbian-Croatian/Russsian,
noun] – voice, garsas [Lithuanian, noun] – sound < *g̑hwonos/*glag̑h- – voice/cry. On the
other side; glasate/grasati [Sanskrit, noun] – eat, swalow, griz/gristi [Old Slavic, noun/verb] –
bite, glad [Old Slavic, noun] – hunger, γράω [Grk, verb] – eat, krās [Old Norse, noun] – delicacy <
*gras- – eat, graze. The hyponym to which the semantics eat and voice underlie is term
voting, a summit of the ordinary people where the community leader was elected,
organized with an abundance of eating and drinking. Hence, let´s go vo(ea)ting for meat
and wine!
To summerize, the lexeme SA INE VUL GLAS, literally with-Eni-entrails-eating, whence
eating the Ena entrails. It is the ritual eating during the ceremony of animal sacrifice.
Alternatively, if we interpret the lexeme INE VUL as cavity of Vulcano, it derives the
meaning SA INE VUL GLAS – the voice from Vulcano cavity. It is about predicting the
Volcano eruption, which was a secret knowledge leaning on the behavior of the animals. If
Etruscan ancestors have known Volcanoes, it suggests that their homeland could be
somewhere in South-East Balkan (today extinct Volcanoes area; according to Strabo in
ancient time called Pallene), India, Iran, Armenien, areas of even today existing active
(extinct) Volcanoes.

Fluke infection and liver seeing

Now let the attention be paid to the lexeme - AVIL KHURVAR > avil χurvar.
As the comparison analysis below shows, it is a matter of blood, bleeding, and sheeps.
These words are among the most archetypical lexemes used all over the Indo-European
world. They appear oft on the Etruscan texts, as well. The underlying transcription results
upon the following correspondences:
AVIL; It corresponds to avilā [Sanskrit, noun] – ewe, āvila [Sanskrit, adjective] – not clear,
confused, polluted by, avlia [Old Slavic, noun, metathesis] – sheepfold, avelė [Lithuanian, noun] –
sheep, ovca/ovan [Old Slavic, noun] – sheep/ram, ovis [Latin, noun] – sheep, ovellas [Gallic,
noun] – sheep, hovi-w [Armenian, noun] – shepherd, hawa [Lycian, noun] – sheep, hāwa/i-
[Luvian, noun] – sheep, awins [Old Prussian, noun] – ram, ēowu [Old English, noun] – sheep, ewe
< *h2owike´ha /*h2òwis – sheep.
K(C)HURVAR > χurvar; The nearest morphological matches are karvarī [Sanskrit, noun] –
female demon, tigress, karvara [Sanskrit, noun] - sin, krvari [Serbian-Croatian, verb, 3rd personal
singular] – it bleeds, crudus [Latin, noun] – bleeding, kurva/bludnica [Panslavic, noun] – whore,
hure [German, noun] - whore, kurvar [Serbian-Croatian, noun] – cunt-chaser, male hure <
*kreuha /*keu(hx)- – blood/curve (moral deflection). This term is a close cognate of the
above-discussed word KLUV - blood, which suggests the archetypal semantic linkage
between menstrual bleeding and a woman´s infidelity.
CHHDVYAD > ČHD VJAD; The transliteration > AY = JA, > X = H, leads to the
colloquial modus interpretation čhd vjad. The underlying correspodences are hrd [Sanskrit,
noun] – heart, hjarta [Old Norse, noun] – heart, srūdǐce [Old Slavic, noun] – heart, cor [Latin,
noun] – heart, seyr [Old Prussian, noun] – heart, šerdis [Lithuanian, noun] - marrow, heart, zərəd
[Avesta, noun] – heart, κŋ̂ρ [Greek, noun] – heart, sirt [Armenian, noun] – heart, kir [Hittite, noun]
– heart < * ǩērd – heart. More metaphorical semantic provides the cognate čud [Old
Slavic, noun] – character,nature; It pinpoints the heart in the center of emotional aspect of
the personality.
VJAD; vyadhā/vadhati [Sanskrit, noun] – bleeding/kill, vadi [Serbian-Croatian, verb, 3rd personal
singular] – takes out, wiwida [Hittite, noun] – strike, wat [Tocharian B, noun] – fight, wedigo
[Old Prussian, noun] – wooden ax, vedega [Lithuanian, noun] – a kind of ax, vâlde [Latin, noun] –
intensely, vadare [Avesta, noun] – instrument for smithing < *wedh – strike. The semantic
of the lexeme čhd vjad < * ǩērd *wedh – bleeding heart, wounded heart, expresses the
folk (secular) literary metaphor, which likewise rephrases the hyponym of woman´s
cheating.

The flower-plant Bleeding heart, called in Etruscan Tilaka, symbolized the Etruscan´s love hurts.

Both of the texts on the Etruscan and Phoenician Tablets honored the festivity of Vernal
Equinox. This common pagan custom comprised the ritual of domestic animal sacrifice
(avil čhd vjad – ewe´s bleeding heart describes secularly the sacrifice killing of the ewe
by stubbing the dagger into the heart), combined with the divination technique of the
inspection of the entrails. Etruscans were known for their sheep´s or antelope´s liver
introspection (bronce liver-model of Piazenca). The procedure of liver-based divination
Etruscans called - SAL GLUVENI – water/suet clumps seeing, Latin Haruspex
< *sel- *ghebhōl *weid.
After the animal was killed, the priest of sacrifice - MUNISTAS, Latin – Augur,
has inspected the pathogenic manifestation of the internal organs; suet/water lumps, wens,
polyps, etc. One of the frequently appearing animal-liver disease is the Fluke-infection,
which causes the external genital bleeding. Semantically considered, the lexeme AVIL
KHURVAR, literally sheep-bleeding/poluted by bleeding, matches the real case of the
Fluke infection. That was why Etruscans considered a sheep as an unclean animal.
Metaphorically expressed, a narrator would say that the sheep was obsessed with the
demon Khurvar – demon of bleeding.
Menstrual bleeding and female demon Khurvar
In terms of analogy, seemingly the same phenomenon occurs in the case of a woman´s
menstrual bleeding. Etruscans believed that the same demon causing the sheep´s bleeding
likewise impacts the woman´s period, which they considered as a woman´s psyho-physical
impurity. Demons in ancient times have been percepted like meta-reality creatures, which
exist in the space between man and animal. Today we would say bacteria, viruses, and
microbes. Consequently, ordinary menses was seen in the light of an undesirable natural
phenomenon, as explained below, a symbol for the woman´s cheating (dirty mind).

Wall painting in the Tomba Della Fustigatione, necropolis of Tarquini.

Considering the Sanskrit reflexes avil – unclear/turbid and karvarī - female demon, it
derives the interpretation of the Etruscan lexeme AVIL KHURVAR as turbid female
demon. The cognates of the term karvarī are blood-stemming words krūra, krvari, xrura,
kraūjas, κρεα. It lets someone concluding that the mythologem turbid female demon
metaphorically desribes the woman´s menstrual bleeding, a manifestation of the body-
impurity (polution). However, that is not the end of the story because menstruation is a
symptom that a woman did not get pregnant with her husband, which could inspire her
to messin´ ´round with another man; Hey Joe, I heard you shot your lady down! Such an
interpretation is based upon the Sanskrit/Panslavic cognates karvara – sin, kurva/bludnica
– whore, kurvar – cunt-chaser, male hure. Hence, the Etruscan lexeme AVIL KHURVAR
– demon of dirty mind < *h2o´wis *kreuha hides the secret of a woman´s infidelity.The
term demon was commonly used by the wise individuals - in a more literary manner. Its
dualistic counterpart, the secular modus interpretation ČHD VJAD – bleeding heart < *
ǩērd *wedh, bolds the correctness of the solution Demon Khurvar – metaphor of the
woman´s cheating. Though, it leaves a dilemma is a state of bleeding heart a consequence
of the cheating, or is it its cause. There are a few possibilities, depending on the attribute
male/female. For instance, if a woman goes cheating, it causes man´s bleeding heart and
vice versa. Finally, it is clear that the goal of the ritual incensing using thyme, or
frankincense, was to exorcise the demon Khurvar from the woman´s body. Is it only a
legend that frankincense smoke kills the sexual instinct?
