Abstract
This essay is written as a chapter in Communications Theory for students in communications and is
understood as bad as Tohu wa-bohu or Tohu va-Vohu ( תה הו ובבה הוṯōhū wā-ḇōhū) by linguists. If you
studied linguistics you may as well throw this paper in the paper basket. This paper uses 5 channels
and 5 categories. This cannot be mixed with etymology, which is refers to a word or morpheme
(e.g., stem[6] or root[7]) from which a later word or morpheme derives. This way one will never
know how the first morpheme arose. A word “DIMER” symbolizes the 5 communication channels.
In retrospect I am aware of a global turbulence in economy and stability. Probably this moment is a
final phase in stability, in which I have a chance to close my books and concentrate as many details
in overviews.
Probably this manuscript is interpreted as clumsy garbage, but quite nice compared to the papers,
which - composed as Nobel-prized theories or copied PhD theses... - are interpreted as the
“academical “masterpiece”-Dissertation for the modern politicians (or other 'doctors')”.
This essay is concentrated on the observations of the 5 communication channels in the standard
alphabets, which may be concentrated in the most important words of the PIE- (Indo-European),
Hebrew and probably a few other languages. These 5-letter words are named pentagrams.
The paper is based on a large database of detailed documents in the episodes from 1989-2023. From
2023 I reduced my public database to a few papers in Scribd.
The most efficient tools to understand the pentagrams are the 2-dimensional tables of the alphabets.
The earliest trace of a genuine pentagram is Dingir (Sumerian sky-god) – in emesal pronounced as:
DIMER and the latest pentagram is LOUIS. Another Sumerian god is GESTÚ (as Enki, the god of
knowledge). The theonyms DIMER and GESTÚ are inserted as the 285th and 286th pentagram in the
database at appendix 2, titled: “The (incomplete) Overview of the (~289) Pentagrams”.
Introduction
There once was a time, when I did not understand how the word „Diaus“ had been composed. There
were people how claimed they knew the word for the sky deity refers to the daylight and it had been
derived from the daylight1.
Deriving a sky god's name from “the daylight, what had been created by the daylight” did not
satisfy my logic. There should be a number of fundamentals, for which the words or letters had to
be created from nothing. I imagined the name „Diaus“ had to be composed from uttering a Word
from a standardized mechanism in the human voice.
I investigated the human voice and the design of the places of articulation. I inspected the Sefer
Yetzirah, the Book of Formation, or Book of Creation, although some early commentators, such as
the Kuzari[1], treated it as a treatise on mathematical and linguistic theory as opposed to Kabbalah.
Ternary encoding
As a student of communication engineering I noticed the number of letters in the alphabet had not
be optimized to the law. The author Subhash Kak compares the binary and ternary coding and
explained why the ternary code is superior in the comparison to the binary code.
Mathematically, ternary coding is more efficient than binary coding. It is little used in
computation because technology for binary processing is already established and the
implementation of ternary coding is more complicated, but remains relevant in
algorithms that use decision trees and in communications 2.
The human voice is one of these complex, but most efficient implementation of ternary coding.
The 5 channels are the places of articulation, named the tongue, the lips, the teeth, the palatal and
the vowel space (gutter).
In On the Nature of the Gods Cicero also specifies the categories, although he uses different
categories for the speech sounds4.
1 The noun dyaús (when used without the pitṛṛ 'father') refers to the daylight sky (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyaus).

4 Notes to Cicero’s Tusculan Disputations, On the Nature of the Gods, On the Commonwealth
In fact the human voice is a communication system with 5 independent channels, represented by
the 18 (active and passive) places of articulation. 1. Exo-labial, 2. Endo-labial, 3. Dental, 4.
Alveolar, 5. Post-alveolar, 6. Pre-palatal, 7. Palatal, 8. Velar, 9. Uvular, 10. Pharyngeal, 11. Glottal,
12. Epiglottal, 13. Radical, 14. Postero-dorsal, 15. Antero-dorsal, 16. Laminal, 17. Apical, 18. Sub-
apical.
Not all places of articulation are independent. The tongue may be activated for each speech sounds
and may always be involved in speaking. Other places of articulation may be distributed in two or
three locations, such as 1. Exo-labial, and 2. Endo-labial, or 6. Pre-palatal, 7. Palatal, and 11.
Glottal, 12. Epiglottal.
Each communication channel is controlled by electric impulses to various muscles, which are
activated to generate the speech sounds or phones. The controlling is quite sophisticated and is to be
learned in our early phases of the human childhood.
The Sanskrit language seem to restrict the vowels and consonants in gutturals, palatals, cerebrals,
dentals and labials.
Cerebrals (“near or from the brain”) are equivalent to (“Of pronunciation in which the tip of
the tongue is raised and bent backwards, so that the underside of the tongue approaches or
touches the palate”.
The specified vowels (A for gutturals, I for palatals, U for labials) are okay, but some (N and L) of
the dentals and others (R, Sh) in the cerebrals seemed to be have exchanged their categories. Also
some gutturals (ka, gh) may have missed their correct categories.
The categorization Velar (gutturals) and Alveolar (linguals) in the Old Persian cuneiform alphabet
may be reordered to standardize the categorizations. The 3-bits encoded triads in the Old Persian
cuneiform alphabet are quite close to the optimized communication channels.
The Old-Persian alphabet illustrates the optimal structure of a number ternary codes for the
gutturals, palatals, Alveolars and labials. The dentals seemed to be restricted to R and S.

This overview of the categorizations may be acceptable as a reordering procedure. After all the
reordering is to be understood as a redefinition of the name-givings. The human places of
articulation are the same for Sanskrit, Old-Persian and the European languages.

The Sefer Yetzirah
The superior role of the tongue is identified in the Sefer Yetzirah:
The twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet are classified both with reference to the
position of the vocal organs in producing the sounds, and with regard to sonant
intensity. In contrast to the Jewish grammarians, who assumed a special mode of
articulation for each of the five groups of sounds, the Sefer Yetzirah says that no sound
can be produced without the tongue, to which the other organs of speech merely lend
assistance7.
The definition of Rabbi Saadia Gaon (882/892 – 942) reduced the Sefer Yetzirah's categories to 5
basic elements, which in this paper are colored as follows: lingual, palatal, guttural, labial, dental):
Based on Rabbi Saadia Gaon's Judeo-Arabic commentary on “Sefer Yetzirah” (chapter
4, paragraph 3), wherein he describes the phonetic sounds of the 22 characters of the
Hebrew alphabet and classifies them in groups based on their individual sounds: “Aleph
( )א, hé ()ה, ḥet ()ח, ‘ayin ( )עare [gutturals sounds] produced from the depth of the
tongue with the opening of the throat, but bet ()ב, waw ()ו, mim ()מ, pé ( )פare [labial
sounds] made by the release of the lips and the end of the tongue; whereas gimel ()ג,
yōd ()י, kaf ()כ, quf ( )קare [palatals] separated by the width of the tongue [against the
palate] with the [emission of] sound. However, daleth ()ד, ṭet ()ט, lamed ()ל, nūn ()נ, tau
( )תare [linguals] separated by the mid-section of the tongue with the [emission of]
sound; whereas zayin ()ז, samekh ()ס, ṣadi ()צ, resh ()ר, shin ( )שare [dental sounds]
produced between the teeth by a tongue that is at rest.8”

New words may be created as metaphors or pentagrams
It is well known how languages gradually or even quickly deteriorate. The words are abbreviated
and loose their extensions. In the course of time even the sky-gods, their consorts and the royals are
loosing their trailers and initial letters or even the vowels in their sacred cores. Only the dead
languages as Latin and the cuneiform texts are stabilized in their baked form. This is what is
documented in Guy Deutscher's book The Unfolding of Language: an evolutionary tour of
mankind's greatest invention.
New words for abstract topics arise as metaphors, which is illustrated as “rival” - from Latin rivalis
"a rival" originally, "of the same brook". The word “ RIVAL”, which is a pentagram and a metaphor.
Another sample may be “mother”. A suitable etymology is found in mother | Etymology, origin and
meaning of mother by etymonline, which is based on baby-talk “ma”:
from PIE *mater- "mother" (source also of Latin māter, Old Irish mathir, Lithuanian
motė, Sanskrit matar-, Greek mētēr, Old Church Slavonic mati), "[b]ased ultimately on
the baby-talk form *mā- (2); with the kinship term suffix *-ter-" [Watkins].
Several alternatives are the pentagrams: Old Norse MÓÐIR, Old Irish MAThIR.
A similar etymology is found in father (n.), which is based on baby-talk “pa” :
from PIE *pəter- "father", presumably from baby-speak sound "pa." The ending
formerly was regarded as an agent-noun affix.
Several alternatives are the pentagrams: Old Norse Faðir, FAÐIR, (source also of Sanskrit PITAR,
Old Persian PITA, Old Irish (P)AThIR "father"), Latin (in Jupiter) PITER.
Do we accept “baby-talk” as the roots for such important words for our ancestors? A pentagram
would be a more professional approach!
Let me see what is the official etymology of the French word “Dieu” for “God”, which is found in
adieu (interj.): (from root *dyeu- "to shine"):
late 14c., adewe, from Old French a Dieu, a Deu, shortened from phrases such as a dieu
(vous) commant "I commend (you) to God," from a "to" (see ad-) + dieu "God," from
Latin deum, accusative of deus "god" (from PIE *deiwos "god" (from root *dyeu- "to
shine").
The etymologists claim a root “to shine” for a Creator God, who existed before He created the
world and had to “create” the light in the Creation.
Again the alternatives are the pentagrams: DIAUS, DIEUS, DIOUS. These words are universal and
do not depend on the various roots for the hypothetical source “to shine”.
*dyeu- is the hypothetical source of/evidence for its existence is provided by: Sanskrit
deva "god" (literally "shining one"); diva "by day;" Avestan dava- "spirit, demon;"
Greek delos "clear;" Latin dies "day," deus "god;" Welsh DIW, Breton deiz "day;"
Armenian TIW "day;" Lithuanian dievas "god," diena "day;" Old Church Slavonic dini,
Polish dzień, Russian den "day;" Old Norse TIVAR "gods;" Old English Tig, genitive
TIWES, name of a god9.
By the way: the words Welsh DIW "day;", Armenian TIW "day;" Old Norse TIVAR "gods;" and
TIWES, name of a god, may also correlate to or be derived from the word for the virtue ΘΈΜΙΣ (the
Greek word for Zeus' consort ThΈΜΙS “justice”).

Table 7 The categorization and sequence of the Elder Futhark signary (24 symbols)
The runic alphabet may be transformed to the following 2-dimensional table with the standard 5
categories. This transformation displays the theonyms TĪW and TĪWÆS in the 3rd row:
1. The first and most relevant virtue is prudence (wisdom16). I noticed the Greek goddess of
wisdom is Metis, who had been defined as the first spouse (or consort) of Zeus. In fact Zeus
grew up as a child under the cover of Metis (ΜΗΗΤΙΣ).
2. The second important virtue is justice. I noticed the Greek goddess of justice is Themis
(ΘΈΜΙΣ) who is registered as the second spouse (or consort) of Zeus. Both goddesses are
listed as the first two spouse of the Hellenic sky-god Zeus17.
The prudence derives from the Latin prudentia meaning "foresight, sagacity". It is often associated
with wisdom, insight, and knowledge.
These principles derive initially from Plato in Republic Book IV, 426–435.[a] Aristotle expounded
them systematically in the Nicomachean Ethics.
15 Cardinal virtues
16 Prudence was considered by the ancient Greeks and later on by Christian philosophers, most notably Thomas
Aquinas, as the cause, measure and form of all virtues. It is considered to be the auriga virtutum or the charioteer of
the virtues.

The following overview suggests the sky-god is the most prominent god, followed by the first
spouse Metis and the second spouse Themis.
In the Germanic mythology these gods for wisdom and justice were defined as Wotan (Witan?, god
for the wisdom), respectively Tiwaz (god of the justice and the “Thing”).
3 Themis Θέμ ΘΈΜΙΣ TIW(AS) Tiwaz Titanic child, justice (law, customs)
Θέμις ΘΈΜ (Tiw) 2nd consort of Zeus
5 Thymos Θυμ ΘΥΜΌΣ WYT(an) Wotan Courage, rage "passion", (cou-)rage
θυμός ΘΥΜ WUT

Table 11 The five cardinal virtues as mirrored structures in the Greek and Germanic languages
Usually the Latin and Indian sky-god had been honored by an extra pentagram, which decorated the
first name with a pentagram “PITER” as the word for “father”. The most important samples are: (in
Greek) *DII ĒUS PH2TĒR, (in Latin) *DJOUS PITER and (in Sanskrit) DIAUS PITAR.
The pentagrams
The cuneiform sign by itself was originally an ideogram for the Sumerian word an
("sky" or "heaven");[2] its use was then extended to a logogram for the word diĝir
("god" or "goddess")[3] and the supreme deity of the Sumerian pantheon An, and a
phonogram for the syllable /an/. 20
20 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingir
21 The standard variety of Sumerian was Emegir (?メツᅠeme-gir₁₅). A notable variety or sociolect was Emesal (?メハᄅ
eme-sal), possibly to be interpreted as "fine tongue" or "high-pitched voice" (Rubio 2007, p. 1369).
22 The standard variety of Sumerian was Emegir (?メツᅠeme-gir₁₅). A notable variety or sociolect was Emesal (?メハᄅ
eme-sal), possibly to be interpreted as "fine tongue" or "high-pitched voice" (Rubio 2007, p. 1369).
Emesal is used exclusively by female characters in some literary texts (that may be
compared to the female languages or language varieties that exist or have existed in
some cultures, such as among the Chukchis23 and the Garifuna24). In addition, it is
dominant in certain genres of cult songs such as the hymns sung by Gala25 priests.[10]
The special features of Emesal are mostly phonological (for example, m is often used
instead of gg [i.e. [ŋ]], as in me instead of standard gge26 for "I"), but words different from
the standard language are also used (ga-ša-an rather than standard nin, "lady").[11] 26
The plural of diĝir can be diĝir-diĝir, among others. This is expressed as a dual concatenation of
two stars.
From the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age (20th century BC), the script evolved to
accommodate the various dialects of Akkadian: Old Akkadian, Babylonian and
Assyrian.[48] At this stage, the former pictograms were reduced to a high level of
abstraction, and were composed of only five basic wedge shapes: horizontal, vertical,
two diagonals and the Winkelhaken impressed vertically by the tip of the stylus.
Enki as gestú
Enki is the Sumerian god of water, knowledge (gestú, GESTÚ), crafts (gašam), and
creation (nudimmud), and one of the Anunnaki.

The Greek deity Zeus
The pentagrams had been inherited to another stage in which the 5-letter words are frequenting the
table. According to the List of Mycenaean deities the theonyms for Zeus and his consorts has been
reconstructed as follows: In Linear-B the spelling DI-WE respectively DI-WO, matches the PIE-
core *DIEUS for the name ZEUS:
Zeus – the sky-god (Linear B:, DI-WE, DI-WO)[14][72][73]
The names Zeus (DIEUS) an its consort DIWIA may have been pentagram concepts before the
introduction of the Greek alphabet.

The impact of the pentagrams range from the earliest Sumerian sky-god Dingir (3000 BCE,
DIMER) to the French king LOUIS XIX (dated 1830 AD).
The adaptations and corrections in the Interpretatio Romana
This chapter is based on the essay De kardinale, vijfvoudige deugdconcepten, in which the
Interpretatio Romana32 has to be completed with the deities Metis and Themis, who might be
matched to the antipodal structured names of the Germanic deities and virtues.
1. The Latin Iupiter, the Greek Zeus and their Germanic partner Donar are the sky-gods. The
Thursday is the day of the week for the sky-gods. The name Thursday and the French word
Jeudi shape the day for the sky-gods.
2. The Latin Mars and Greek Ares do not belong to the deities for justice (Themis). The name
Tuesday is the correct day for Iustitia (the Hellenic Themis and Germanic Tiw). Therefore
the name Mardi (Literally “the war's day”) is incorrect. In fact the “M” in the word Mars is a
mirrored “W” in the word “Wars”.
3. The Latin Minerva and Pallas Athena are the symbolic deities for the virtue “wisdom”,
which are represented by the Germanic Wodan and Hellenic Metis. The Wednesday and also
the French Mercredi are the day of the week for the virtue wisdom. The French name
Mercredi refers to the name of the god Mercurius and is incorrect. The derivation Minerdi
from Minerva (the Latin deity for wisdom) would be a suitable name for this day.
In retrospect I do not care if this theory is accepted or not. I learned to think for myself and not for
the median mainstream of the academic lobbies.
This study is a technical and logical investigation of the truth. The archaic genuine pentagrams had
been based on the 5 places of articulation, named the tongue, the palatal, the lips, the teeth and the
vowel space (gutter).
The 2-dimensional helps to reconstruct the original alphabetical concepts with the displays of the
theonyms (e.g.: DIAUS PITAR, TIVAR and DII ĒUX).
The Germanic mythology (and cardinal virtues) may be influenced by the Greek mythology (and
cardinal virtues) or vice versa. The most principal virtues are prudence and justice, which are shared
in the Greek and Germanic mythologies. Both pentagrams of the first couple of virtues (wisdom and
justice) are antipodal structures. These antipodes may be interpreted as evidence for these theses.
The Germanic days of the week Wednesday has been the Wisdom-day, which is devoted to Woden,
the god of the verb “to wit” and “wizard”. In Greek mythology is the related goddess METIS.
The week of the day Tuesday is devoted to “Justice”, whose Germanic god is TIW or *Tīwaz. In
Greek mythology is the related goddess THEMIS. These Greek goddesses were antipodes METIS
↔ ThEMIS as well as the Germanic gods WIT ↔ TIW. The Roman soldiers did not realize that
their “Interpretatio germanica” needed the following corrections for the Tuesday and Wednesday:
• Sunday, the day of Sunnǭ (Old Norse: Sunna, Sól; Old English: Sunne; Old High German:
Sunna), the sun (as female), was earlier the day of Sol, the sun (as male)
• Monday, the day of Mēnô (Máni; Mōna; Māno), the moon (as male), was earlier the day of
Luna, the moon (as female)
• Tuesday, the day of Tīwaz (Týr; Tīw; Ziu), was earlier the day of Mars, god of war was
earlier the day of the Greek deity Themis (ThEMIS, the justice and the Thing). The Thing
may have been spelled ÞIŊ (?). The day may have been ÞIŊs-day, in Dutch: Dinsdag.
• Wednesday, the day of Wōdanaz (Odin, Óðinn; Wōden; Wuotan), was earlier the day of
Mercury, god of travelers and eloquence was earlier the day of the Greek deity Metis
(METIS), respectively the Etruscan Menrva (MENRVA) and Latin (MINERVA). Menrva
was an Etruscan goddess of war, art, wisdom, and medicine. She contributed much of her
character to the Roman Minerva.
• Thursday, the day of Þūraz/Þunraz (Thor, Þórr; Þunor; Donar), The name is derived from
Old English þunresdæg and Middle English Thuresday (with loss of -n-, first in northern
dialects, from influence of Old Norse Þórsdagr) meaning "Thor's Day". It was named after
the Norse god of Thunder, Thor. It was earlier the day of Jupiter, god of thunder;
• Friday, the day of Frijjō (Frigg; Frīg; Frīja), was earlier the day of Venus, goddess of love.

Lycus (mythology)
The number of these names is 23:
1. LÚKOS, one of the Telchines[1] who fought under Dionysus in his Indian campaign.[2] He
is otherwise said to have erected a temple to Apollo Lycius on the banks of Xanthus river.[3]
2. LÚKOS, son of Prometheus and Celaeno, brother of Chimaerus. The brothers are said to
have had tombs in the Troad; they are otherwise unknown.[4]
3. LÚKOS of Athens, a wolf-shaped herο, whose shrine stood by the jurycourt, and the first
jurors were named after him.[5]
4. LÚKOS, an Egyptian prince as one of the sons of King Aegyptus. He suffered the same fate
as his other brothers, save Lynceus of Argos, when they were slain on their wedding night
by their wives who obeyed the command of their father King Danaus of Libya. Lycus was
the son of Aegyptus by Argyphia, a woman of royal blood and thus full brother of Lynceus,
Proteus, Enceladus, Busiris and Daiphron.[6] In some accounts, he could be a son of
Aegyptus either by Eurryroe, daughter of the river-god Nilus,[7] or Isaie, daughter of King
Agenor of Tyre.[8] Lycus married the Danaid Agave, daughter of Danaus and Europe.[6]
5. LÚKOS, son of Poseidon and Celaeno.[9]
6. LÚKOS, the "loudvoiced" satyr herald of Dionysus during the Indian War.[10] In secret
union, Hermes fathered him, Pherespondus and Pronomus, by Iphthime, daughter of Dorus.
[11] Eiraphiotes (i.e. Dionysus) entrusted to these three satyr brothers the dignity of 'the staff
of their wisdom-fostering father, the herald of heaven'.[12]
7. LÚKOS, son of Arrhetus and Laobie, who, together with his father and brothers, fought
under Deriades against Dionysus.[13]
8. LÚKOS, son of Pandion II and brother of King Aegeus of Athens.[14]
9. LÚKOS, son of Hyrieus and Clonia, and brother of Nycteus. He became the guardian of
Labdacus and Laius. Nycteus, unable to retrieve his daughter Antiope from Epopeus of
Sicyon, sent his brother Lycus to take her. He invaded Sicyon, killed Epopeus and gave
Antiope as a slave to his own wife, Dirce.[15]
10. LÚKOS, a descendant of the above Lycus, said to have usurped the power over Thebes.[16]
11. LÚKOS, son of Dascylus of Mysia or Mariandyne. He was hospitable towards the
Argonauts[17] and Heracles, who conquered the land of the Bebryces (Heraclea Pontica).
[18] He is apparently identical with the Lycus given as a son of Titias, brother of Priolaus
and eponym of a city.[19]
12. LÚKOS, same as Lycurgus (of Nemea).[20]
