Abstract
As a small language tucked in the Pyrenees mountains on the border of Spain and France, Basque
(Euskara) is completely different from the languages that surround it. As a matter of fact, it is
different from any other language on the planet. And its grammar is almost as complex as its
history.
Basque (Euskara) is one of the oldest languages in Western Europe, preceding the Indo-European
tongues. However the phonetics also may be characterized by the 5 points of articulation: guttural,
lingual, labial, palatal and dental.
According to the Etymological Dictionary of Basque1 a sky-god's name in the Codex Calixtinus
may have been documented by a 12th-century French scholar Aymeric Picaud, claiming URÇIA as a
word for ‘God’, which was interpreted as an archaic Basque sky-god named *ORTZI or *URTZI.
The French or Latin spelling URÇIA may also be reconstructed towards the genuine pentagram
URTIA, which may be identified as a core “URTIAR” in the Basque word URT(i)ARRILA for the
month January. In Latin the first month January is devoted to the archaic god “ JANUS”. The day of
the week ortzegun2 (in Latin Jovis dies, and in English: Thursday) may also be reconstructed to
URTIEGUN (URTIA's day).
The restored pentagrams may help to understand the roots for the Basque words for the relevant
months and days of the week.

Introduction
Basque language, also known as euskara, is a language spoken by Basques and others of the Basque
Country (Basque: Euskal Herria; Spanish: País Vasco; French: Pays basque). Euskal Herria
(EUSKAL) is the oldest documented Basque name for the area they inhabit, dating from the 16th
century.
Basque tribes were mentioned by Greek writer Strabo and Roman writer Pliny, including the
Vascones (VASCON), the Aquitani, and others. Caesar's reference to their customs and physical
make-up, the so-called Aquitanian inscriptions recording names of people and gods (approx. 1st
century, see Aquitanian language), etc.
Its capital city, Vitoria-Gasteiz (VITOR), is also the seat of the political main institutions of the
Basque Autonomous Community.[2]
Also the name Iruña-Veleia (IRUNA) is a genuine pentagram.
Geographically, the Basque Country was inhabited in Roman times by several tribes: the Vascones,
the Varduli, the Caristi, the Autrigones, the Berones, the Tarbelli, and the Sibulates. Some ancient
place-names, such as Deba, Butrón, Nervión, Zegama, suggest the presence of non-Basque peoples
at some point in protohistory.
The pentagrams seem to be preferred to create new names for gods, virtues, royals and other
sensitive definitions, which should not be easily traceable back to their metaphors.
Pentagrams have been discovered in cuneiform texts and Linear-B texts. The spelling DIMER is
identified as a pentagram for the cuneiform word Dingir.
In Mycenean language the name of the sky-god Zeus (*Dii ēus) the Linear-B words is pelled: DI-WE
or DI-WO, respectively DI-WE (S) or DI-WO (S).
In the Basque mythology we may identify various pentagrams, which for name-giving follow the
rules for the name-giving for the sky-gods and cardinal virtues “wisdom” and “justice”.
The evidence for this insight is documented in this essay.
The sky-god Urtia
Urtzi (also ortzi) is an ancient Basque language term which is believed to either
represent an old common noun for the sky, or to have been a name for a pre-Christian
sky deity.[1][2] 3
Basque (Euskara) is one of the oldest languages in Western Europe, preceding the Indo-European
tongues. However the phonetics also may be characterized by the 5 points of articulation: guttural,
lingual, labial, palatal and dental.
According to the Etymological Dictionary of Basque4 a sky-god's name in the Codex Calixtinus
may have been documented by a 12th-century French scholar Aymeric Picaud, claiming URÇIA as a
word for ‘God’, which was interpreted as an archaic Basque sky-god named *ORTZI or *URTZI.
The French or Latin spelling URÇIA may also be reconstructed towards the genuine pentagram
URTIA, which may be identified as a core “URTIAR” in the Basque word URT(i)ARRILA for the
month January. In Latin the first month January is devoted to the archaic god “ JANUS”. The day of
the week ortzegun5 (in Latin Jovis dies, and in English: Thursday) may also be reconstructed to
URTIEGUN (URTIA's day).
The Basque language contains various correlations to the calendar and meteorological terms to the
root ortzi (“sky-god”) (with the variants URÇIA respectively URTIA, ORTZIA, ORZIA and
OSTIA), for example:[16][27]
• ortzadar 'rainbow' ( URTIA + adar 'horn')
• URTIA 'sky, thunder'
• orzgorri (> oskorri) 'red sky' ( URTIA + gorri 'red')
• ostargi 'daylight' ( URTIA + argi 'light')
• ostegun 'Thursday' ( URTIA + egun 'day')
• oskarbi 'clear sky' ( URTIA + garbi 'clean')

The dual system for the days of the week
There are several systems in the different Euskera dialects.[29] 9 .
In the Standard Basque the most intriguing entry is the word for Thursday, Osteguna (interpreted as
“Urtiaguna”, "Ortzi/Sky day", URTIA + egun 'day').
In Germanic languages the Tuesday is devoted to Tiw or Tiwaz (TIWAZ ). The corresponding Greek
pentagram is “METIS”. Wednesday is devoted to “wit” or “wisdom” ( WITAS). The corresponding
Greek pentagram is “ThEMIS”. In the Gothic language the supreme divine name is TEIWS, which is
related to Thursday. Therefore the god URTIA may be the archaic sky-god.
The name URT(i)ARRILA for the Latin god of the beginning and end (JANUS) in January.
The Sunday “Igandea” may be devoted to the sky-God's "ascension". In Gothic the sun is SAUIL.

The display of the theonym in the 2-dimensional alphabet
The display of the theonym in the 2-dimensional alphabet depends on the alphabet. A theonym may
be displayed on the 2nd row of the Latin alphabet or at the 3rd row of the Futhark alphabet.
We now may illustrate how the Latin alphabet may display “URTIE” at the 2nd row of the 2-
dimensional Latin alphabet.
First of all we will have to prepare the 2-dimensional table with columns in the horizontal sequence
as follows from left to right: labial, dental, lingual, palatal and guttural.
We will have to insert all 26 Latin letters. The Latin alphabet skipped the Hebrew letter-symbols ט
(Th9). The skipped letter (Þ9) should be inherited and is to be inserted in the 2-dimensional table to
display the correct theonym.
The following letters are to be inserted: 4 linguals: D, (Þ), L, N, T, 7 palatals: C, G, I, en J, K, Q, X,
7 labials: B, ϝ - V, M, P, U, W, 5 gutturals: A, Ε, H, O, Y and the 3 dentals: Z, R S.
Usually the 5-letter word displays 5 symbols (labial, dental, lingual, palatal, guttural) as a
pentagram. In the following example the theonym represents the expected sky-god URÞΙΕ. In this
alphabet the F6 and the V or U are equivalents.
The sample illustrates how the Latin alphabet may display the theonym “URTIË” at the 2nd row of
the 2-dimensional Latin alphabet.
The spelling “URÇIA“ seems to be equivalent to “URTIA”, respectively “URTIË”.
Both spellings “URTIA”, respectively “URTIË” are equivalent with “TIVAR”. In these pentagrams
the 5 letters T, I, V, A, R may be reordered. Therefore “URTIA”, respectively “URTIË” are
theonyms for the sky-gods as good as “TIVAR” , “TEIWS“ and “DIAUS PITAR”.
In the next chapter I will check in how far the “URTIA” may be generated with another type of
signaries.
Testing the display of a Basque theonym in the Futhark signary
In Spain the Visigoths may have studied the introduction of the Futhark signary for their documents.
I decided to investigate the behavior of the Futhark signary if somebody would try to reorder the
columns to display the Basque Theonym “URTIE” in the 3rd row.
Normally the standard order of the columns is lingual, palatal, labial, guttural, dental, which results
in the theonyms TĪW en TĪWÆS .
The Basque name-giving of the best-fit theonym “URTIË” had been based on a Latin alphabet.
The overview of the months in the Basque language
The following overview of the months is partly derived from the web-site Months of the year in
Basque. Most of the 12 months are founded on the agriculture and harvest.
The months January, March, April, May may be honored by a Latin name-giving of pentagrams.
The Romans gave the month April the Latin name Aprilis[1] but the derivation of this name is
uncertain. The traditional etymology is from the verb aperire, "to open".
Only the first month URT(i)ARRILA for the Latin god (JANUS of the beginning and end) may be
devoted to the beginning of the New Year in January.
EKAINA (JUNO) and UZTAILA (JULY) seem to be inherited from the Latin words: JuNo and
JuLy.
10 Source: from Latin Māius (“Maia's month”), from Maia, a Roman earth goddess.
An etymology of the Germanic virtues “wisdom” and “justice”
In Fundamentals in the Name-Giving for the Days of the Week the Germanic virtues “wisdom”
(WITES) and “justice” (TIWAZ) are interpreted as equivalents to the Greek “Wisdom” (METIS11),
respectively “justice” (ΘEMIS), in which only the vowels I and E have been exchanged.
The days of the week seemed to have been composed as a symbolic “pantheon”, which apart from the Sun,
the Moon and Saturn contains various triads with a sky-god, a chthonic god and the most important virtues
“Justice” (ΘEMIS), “Wisdom” (METIS), “Freedom” (LIBER) or “DĪVES” (Dis).
The names for the sky-god “IU” (DJOUS) and the chthonic gods “LIBER” (“freedom”) and “Dis”
(“DĪVES”, “underworld”) included a “PITER”-attribute, which indicate the supremacy of these gods.
The involved triads are Capitoline Triad (Jupiter, Juno and Minerva) and the Aventine Triad (Ceres, Liber
and Libera), in which Jupiter (Zeus) represents the father sky and Ceres (Demeter) the mother earth. Minerva
(MINERVA) represents the virtue “Wisdom” (Greek: METIS).
Liber (LIBER) and Libera symbolize the virtue “freedom”. The deity “DĪVES” represents the underworld in
contrast to the sky (DIOUS).
The composition of the names for Tuesday and Wednesday reveals two mirrored patterns of the virtues' cores
ΘEM ↔ MET and TIW ↔ WIT. A few divine names (including the virtues “Justice” and “Wisdom”), such
as *MENIRVA, MINERVA, *DJOUS-PITER, DĪVES-PITER and LIBER-PITER are members of the
Capitoline and/or Aventine triads.

11 Etymology of Metis (the first wife of Zeus), from Greek Metis, literally "advice, wisdom, counsel; cunning, skill,
craft," from PIE root *me- "to measure" (see meter (n.2)). (Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary) (source: Metis)
The adaptations and corrections in the Interpretatio Romana
This chapter is based on the essay De kardinale, vijfvoudige deugdconcepten, in which the
Interpretatio Romana12 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 Teiws 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.
The pentagrams seem to be preferred to create new names for gods, virtues, royals and other
sensitive definitions, which should not be easily traceable back to their metaphors.
Pentagrams have been discovered in cuneiform texts and Linear-B texts. The spelling DIMER is
identified as a pentagram for the cuneiform word Dingir.
In Mycenean language the name of the sky-god Zeus (*Dii ēus) the Linear-B words is pelled: DI-WE
or DI-WO, respectively DI-WE (S) or DI-WO (S).
In the Basque mythology we may identify various pentagrams, which for name-giving follow the
rules for the name-giving for the sky-gods and cardinal virtues “wisdom” and “justice”.
The sample illustrates how the Latin alphabet may display the theonym “URTIE” at the 2nd row of
the 2-dimensional Latin alphabet.
The evidence for this insight is documented in this essay.
The overview of an (incomplete) overview of the (~308) pentagrams is listed in the appendix.

According to a comment to the Sefer Jetsirah the letters in the Hebrew alphabet had been
categorized according to 5 categories, which are based on the 5 phonetic sources where the human
voice is generating the phonetic sounds.
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. 18”
The following dictionary documents a number (~314) of perfect pentagrams in various languages.
Only a subset of these words have been composed as pentagrams. Other words unintentionally may
have turned into pentagrams.
