Old Slavic въскрьсениѥ (resurrection): Russ. воскресение, Serb. Vaskrs/
Uskrs are the words closely related to Oster, Easter, Ostara, Aistra
and these words are also closely related to the word "star"; Uskrs
(Easter) is also akin to Latin re-surrectio (surgo surgere; re-
surgere; resurrect). Dunube was once a resurrection river (Ister;
Greek Istros); i.e. its name was derived from the same primal basis
(Sur-Gon) as Greek αστηρ (star), Serbian zora (dawn), sunce (sun; from
su/r/nke) and zrak/a (sun-beam; ray).
The Greek word έσχάρα (fireplace, burner, torch) is phonetically
almost the same as the Serbian verb izgore-ti (burn) and the noun
iskra (spark; cf. Lat corusco /to twinkle, flash/; Serb. kresnuti /
sparkle, light up/). Now we can see that the Serbian words iskra
(spark; cf. Hun. szikra /spark/, Slavic loanword), kresati
(coruscate), is-krsnuti (to appear suddenly; emerge), us-krsnuti
(resurrect) and Uskrs (Easter) are clearly and logically related to
eachother.
When the name of Christ is in question (I wrote about it earlier
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.lang/msg/164103e932d60e10?) it
cannot be a calque from Hebrew Messiah (anointed one). Originally, the
Greek word χρίω (khrio, khriein) meant graze, similar to Serbian verb
gristi, grize (graze) and it is not an accident that English grease is
phonetically close to graze. :-)
In order to understand what really "happened" to the Christ's name we
must start from the OE rísan (to go up, rise; Serb. rast, rašćenje /
rise, raise, grow/). It means that the whole Christian doctrine is
based on the idea of resurrection; i.e. on the doomsday and the rising
of dead (as we know, Christ himself risen from his grave after he was
crucified and burried).
Christos is the (H)Risen One. ;-)
Of course, someone is going to ask what the words like Serbian iskra,
zora, zrak or Greek έσχάρα have in common with the name of Christ and
the process of Christening. Let me try to explain this with the
Serbian word "is-krasti" (to sneak away, sneak out). Namely, Serbian
word is-krasti (sneak out) has the meaning "to leave the circle", "to
leave the group", and the ancient man envisaged any group as a sort of
circle (Lat. cicus, circa, Serb. krug, Gr. krugos) and he also
imagined any possible processes in nature as a "circling" motion (Gr.
χορεια any circling motion, dance; Serb. kruženje /circling/; Eng.
cruising; Lat. circino /to form into a circle/). And, as you can see,
Slavic iskra is a sparkle that "sneaks away" (is-krasti /snaek out/,
is-krsnuti /to pop up/, us-krsnuti /resurrect/ from its "encircled"
entity.
Portuguese igreja (church) is a close relative to Spanish jugar (play)
and Serb. igra (game, play) and all these three words were derived
from Hor-Gon basis, i.e. from the common Romance circulo (Serb. igrali-
šte playground; Romanian cerc, Italian cerchia /circle/).
I hope, everyone has enough data at his disposal to understand that
German Kirche or Slavic cerkva (church), including English church
(from OE cirice, cyrce), belong to the group of words that were
derived from the Hor-Gon basis, which essential meaning was
"circle" (the round-shaped form of the sun).
DV
Evidently you don't think the Greeks knew how to speak their own language.

Remarkable--they based their name for him on a word from a language
spoken by a small number of people in a remote corner of Europe
centuries before that language came to exist.
What about αρεταω (thrive) and αριστειος (belonging to the bravest;
bestowed as the prize of valour; αριστοκράτης aristocrat = the
usefull member of the society; Serb. korist (benefit, interest),
koristan (remunerative, useful, productive, beneficial); cf. Gr.
κορυστος heaped up, raised up; Serb. na-rasti (accrue). In addition
Ευχαριστία, sacrament, secret, consecrate, sacristy (and remember the
above mentioned Serb. iskrasti "to sneak out", "to leave the group/
entity"; also Serb. sakriti (hide, conceal).
Of course, a small metathesis is present among these words, but I hope
you are able to understand the way in which they have been
devloped. :-)
DV
What about them? I think they're a list of words with some phonetic
resemblences between them. What's even funnier than when you make
pronouncements about relationships among words without an ounce of proof
is when you present lists of words and don't even claim anything about
them, as though a hole had just opened up in your brain and a bunch of
free associations just fell out.

I'm sure *you* don't understand the way in which they've been
"developed". You don't give any sign that you do.
If you cannot understand the relation among the words as Uskrs,
Easter, istok (east), east, uskrsnuće (re-surrection), resurrection,
incarnation, izvor (spring), zora (dawn), source etc., and if you are
unable to grasp that a "circle" is their essential "embodiment", you
better leave any lingual efforts in the future and go fishing.

Once again: I don't see *you* explaining the relationship between them.
All I see you doing is pronouncing one to exist.

I've tried that, but he only seems to be interested when such a list is
the product of what he perceives to be *his* cleverness.
OK! Let me ask you another (more easier!) question: can you understand
the similar "encircled" logic hidden in words as Gr. σχολε, Lat.
schola, Ger. Schule, Serb. škola. This time it is not "krug" but
"kolo" (circle, wheel; PIE *kWlo-). Do you know why the Greek
"schooling" has the meaning "leisure or spare time" (σχολαζω)? Could
you try to grasp what the relation between the Greek word scholazo (to
be at leisure) and Serbian dokolica/dokoličiti (leisure, pastime; to
be at leisure) might be? In boath casis the basis is *kh(o)-kWlo-; cf.
Gr. κυκλος (ring; round), κυκλοθεν (from all around), κυκλόθι
(around), Serb. okolo (around; from h/okolo), dokolica (leisure).
I am sure you know that in ancient time the schools were "made up" for
those people who had nothing else (better!) to do than to get
educated.
DV

I forgot Latin conligo (collect), conlega (colleague), Serb.
okupljanje (gathering, assembling); all the words derived from Gon-Bel-
Gon basis. Now you must be able to understand that school (škola,
σχολε) is nothing but “gathering”; i.e. collecting, occupying; Serb.
okupljanje (gathering, assembling).
DV
Once *again* you demonstrate no understanding on *your* part, once
*again* nothing more than a pronouncement.
Obviously, you do not understand the relation between Latin oculus and
Slavic oko, between Serb. kolo (circle), Latin complecti -plexus
(surround, encompass) and Serb. okoliti (surround, encompass; okolina /
surroundings/), Lat. conligo (collect) and Serb. okupljati
(collect)...
Also, Lat. educatio, Serb. douka (education), Lat. diaconus, OE
deacon, Serb, djak (student).
It is impossible to understand the above words if we do not start from
the Gon_Bel_Gon basis; i.e. if we do not start from the noun kolo
(circle, cycle; Lat. caulae /hole, opening/) adverb okolo (around;
about from OE onbutan, Eng. in-habit; Lat. habito to dwell; cf. Serb.
na-seobina, selo /village/), and the word oko (eye; Lat. oculus).
DV
No, obviously, YOU don't since, AGAIN, all you do is proclaim there to
be one, without any explanation, rational or otherwise.

Lots of people understand these words and yet miraculously none of them
"start from the Gon_Bel_Gon basis" since not only are you the person who
invented it, but you're the only person who even understands what you
mean by "basis" every time you use it in this way.

Perhaps all the way to 27?

Xur-Bel, Xur-Gon, Gon-Bel, Gon-Xur, Bel-Xur. Bel-Gon

Much more... For instance, Serbian words like nakaniti, nagoniti,
nagaziti, nagonjenje, konjanici etc. are derived from the
quadriplicated Gon syllable; poljubiti comes from Bel-Bel-Bel-Gon
combination, obljubljena from Gon-Bel-Bel-Gon, pogonjenje Bel-Gon-Gon-
Gon...bogobojažljiv Bel-Gon-Bel-Gon-Bel... I think that hundreds and
hundreds, even thousands, of similar combinations are possible.
We need a math expert here :-)
DV
I wanted to say that - without Gon-Bel-Gon primal basis - nobody can
understand the way in which the above words have been "built up"
through the history. In my "reconstructing" HSF theory I use neither
roots nor lemmas. My "bases" are the first agglutinated forms made by
(re)combining of the three ur-syllables - Xur, Bel and Gon. There are
12 basic permutations inside this three-syllabic "formula", but when
reduplications are included, the number of "primeval bases" might be
significantly increased.
DV
Ah! I thought we were talking about "this three-syllabic 'formula'".
Apparently we can also have 1- and 2-syllabic formulae. Who knew?
(Where would one go to find the whole theory described?)
And did you notice that I asked for the other six and you gave me nine?
That make me wonder why you said "...(t)here are 12 basic
permutations...", instead of 15.
You seem to have overlooked the following question in my first response.
Maybe you could devote some attention to it now? I would guess that
your dissertation was on the Xur-Bel-Gon theory, no? From what university?
I thought we were agreeing on 15 basic permutations, scattered over 1-,
2-, and 3-syllabic formulae.

N. Ya. Marr thought of it first, only there were four primeval

Do you understand what the word "permutation" means (it is the change
of order among the given elements/objects); and hadn't you noticed
that I was talking about possible _combination_ INSIDE the
threesyllabic "formula"? I hope you are clever enough to understand
that no permutation is possible if a single one object (undividable
unit) is set in line. In this case there are the three elements
(primordial syllables), which constitute the "well-spring" of human
speech (the "generator" of words).

All my books (papers) are written in Serbian and, I suppose, of no use

He isn't: it was mostly his insistence on pushing this crap
that got him kicked off Cybalist, and he didn't show up here
until after that.
Brian
Oh, I didn't know about Cybalist before. This is delightful. I see where
Dushan wrote, "Following the above way of thinking, I concluded that the
first spoken word must ultimately be the name of the one of most ancient
sun-deities." These beings had theretofore had no language yet they had
managed to share among themselves a concept as abstract as a sun deity.
A language-free mythology. I can't imagine the wordless discussions they
must have held at length on the attributes of their various gods.
Besides, what are "dada" and "mama", chopped liver?

I new nothing about Nicolas Marr when I "announced" my Xur-Bel-Gon
theory in 2004. It was two years later (January, 2006) that I first
heard about that Russian linguist/archaeologist (in a discussion with
G. Starostin). Even today I do not know how Marr came to his Sal-Ber-
Rosh-Yon ur-syllables. In my case the thing is simple, I used the
names of the most ancient divinities, Sur, Hor(u)s and Bel, "animated"
with the help of an "omnipotent" Gon syllable.

What is Cybalist at the moment?
A few ignorant and semiliterate people of the Arnaud's type are
showing their naked asses and fuck the brains of the rest of Cybalist
lingua-strivers.
DV
Wrong, Harlan, the first "articulated" word must have been connected
to the sun, the shiniest and the most visible (salutary) object in the
sky.
DV
Maybe, SIL-BER CHRIST-IAN or SLO-B-BER CHRIST-IAN? :-)
DV
Very, very funny, considering I was quoting YOU claiming the bit about
the deity.
Either way, the "must have" part is hysterical: there is NO WAY POSSIBLE
WAY that the first word ever spoke could have been ANYTHING but a word
for the sun, BECAUSE DUSHAN HAS SO PRONOUNCED.

Nah...given the word Rosh is included one could take it

an ego trip with his theory. It's highly unlikely
that primal man's first words were to honour
a savior. He was far more likely to say,
"Where's the beef!" ;-)

I believe first words had more to do with what was nearer to the ground,
words of more immediate and practical use. Eyes first to the
ground, then up to the sky.
When one lives in survival mode, one naturally looks towards
one's immediate and pressing needs on the ground and at
hand.
"In the beginning was the word, and the word was 'moo.'"
"Where's the beef?" ;-)

have no reason to be as jumpy as you are wiith your (above)

I know what I am talking about because I checked out such a "sun-god"
hypothesis on an extremely big number of IE words.
DV
That doesn't make any sense. Your reasoning, as YOU stated, is that it
must have been the first word because it's shiny and highly visible and
salutary--as though there were already a generally agreed-upon premise
that the first word must have described something shiny and highly
visible and salutary.
As far as "checking" is concerned, you *made up* connections between
your putative first words and heaven knows how many PIE roots. You can't
draw valid conclusions from your own imaginings. Or let's put it this
way: if you can, then so can Franz and since his findings contradict
yours, it follows that it's absurd to say that you can. QED.
Precisely, and it has already been established by one of your

You mean that great abyss where men compete and
only one wins the prize...a place sometimes called
chaos?
Think tens of thousands of sperm vying for that one ovum.
Kinda reminds me of a king who can raise great
armies just so he can f*ck the queen. Thousands
of men have to die so that one guy can score.
Why are men so stupid to go along with that
game plan?

If you said "Why are niggers so stupid..." or "Why are women so
stupid..." or "Why are kikes so stupid..." or "Why are sandniggers so

However, when you say "Why are men so stupid..." you will not get your
due scolding.
This is precisely because I am against feminism: because it is not
about equal rights anymore, but about vindicating anti-male bigotry.
And because feminism has long ago been hijacked by people like Heidi
Graw, who accuse you of male chauvinism if you as a trained linguist
question their crap ideas about language.
Oh, go shack up with phoglund.
And "because" doesn't mean "why" in indirect questions.

Of course, a certain kind of meaningful uttering (cry, shout, warning
or gratifying vocalization) existed before the time when Xur-Bel-Gon
"word-generator" started to "produce" the words. It is not excluded
that a complete mythological picture of the world pre-existed the
beginning of speech/auditory communication.
In the beginning was the beginning!

Yet more pronouncements: we are to presume all these things to be true

Then, when the man had nothing else to do but to lie leisurely in the
comfort of the cave... and when he first time yearned his next-
mourning encounter with the sun.

Not at all... but because any IE speaker is repeating it every day
(unconsciously of course); yourself included.

I've never said anything in my life that implies or refers to the
concept that "Only the sun was able to 'enlighten' the human mind and to
ignite the 'fire' of coherent thinking." It's doubly ridiculous because
even if it did *happen* that the first word related to the sun, your
addition of "only the sun was able", the assertion that it could not
possibly have happened any other way, the idea that you would even have
any way to know that, is exclusively your own delusion.
Once again: I know exactly what I am talking about. My HSF Xur-Bel-Gon
theory is almost infallible and it "told" me what happened in a
distant period of human history when the man started to articulate his
thoughts.
DV
In the same sense that J.R.R. Tolkien knew exactly what he was writing
about when he crafted the Ring tales--but at least he recognized that
his product was a work of fiction.
> My HSF Xur-Bel-Gon

So you keep proclaiming, incessantly, without an ounce of proof. It
works as long as you allow yourself infinitely leeway to imagine
relationships--without feeling the slightest inclination to check
yourself by determining whether they follow any patterns, as opposed to
being completely haphazard, as they happen to be.

That's called psychosis. Dušan, meet Franz. Franz, Dušan.
I thought that now that you've had a few days to think about it I
would bring this up again. You said originally that there were "12
basic permutations inside this three-syllabic 'formula'". When I
reported that I only could find 6, you responded with 9 more. To my
way of counting, that means there must be 15 basic permutations inside
your formula.
So, which is it? 12 or 15?
>In the beginning was the beginning!

Two people were nuzzling on the ledge
of a cliff near the entrance of their cave.
Suddenly, Mooga saw something move
in the distance. "Moomat! Moomat!
Many, many Moomat!" A herd of
mammoths were moving across the
plaine.
His wife Mukla quickly scampered
into the cave and returned with a
spear in her hand. "Mooga, go kill
moomat if you want dinner tonight."
Mooga obeyed his wife and took the spear
to hunt the mammoth. In the meantime,
Mukla primped and preened her furs.
Satisfied she looked pretty enough
for the other wildlife, she went out
to pick berries and gather up
some greens for the meat she was
hoping Mooga will bring back home.
Mooga hasn't been too ambitious of
late. He spent far too much time
staring up into the skies and imagining
things. Mukla became ever more
unhappy about that.
Meat was becoming more scarce because
Mooga was becoming more and more
lazy. He tried to justify his laziness
by claiming that the Gods shall provide!
Needless to say, Mukla had to spend
far too much time trying to keep Mooga
ambitious and motivated enough so they
could enjoy a more comfortable living.
No meat, no dinner. No dinner, no nookie.
Mooga decided it's best he go out to do
all that dangerous hunting! ;-)

Are you blind or stupid or both?

What can I do to make you understand that Latin corusco -are is
related to Serbian words kresnuti (to flash, inflame) and tresnuti/
treskati (shake) and that all these words are derived from the word
circus (Serb. krug circle), via cruising (Serb. kruženje circling
around) I cannot help you other way. All phonetic changes (velar to
dental) are absolutely clear and regular in this case. Can you grasp
that English run (from AS ryne) is most closely related to the Serbian
werb krenuti/kreni (get going, go, start; krenuti putem take the road.
Of course, you would be able to understand it if you saw that Germanic
"run" has lost its initial velar (cf. Goth. garuns street; set in
motion). AS rinnan (flow, run) can be related to Serbian reka (river)
and runiti (rout) and roniti (dive, pour).
What else should I say to open your mind; do you know were the English
word rotate came from? Can you not see that rotate is a close relative
to Serbian okretati (rotate)?; again from krug, circus or circle
(ring). What if I said to you that English area is related to Serbian
okrug (area, district) and kraj (site, area)?
There are thousands of examples how the words sprang from the Hor-Gon
basis, which is branched into three main meanings: circle (krug,
ring), fire (gorenje, kresanje; coruscate) and water (rout, rinnan,
reka, runiti, roniti) etc. The shape of the sun is round, circling is
causing crushing as well as correction and corrugation and
coruscation, including rotation and running...
Please Harlan, do not be stupid, be smart!

Poor Mooga! :-)

Look at how you approach this: with appeals. "What can I do to make you
understand ...?" "Can you grasp that ...?" In other words, you don't
have a clue in your head how to demonstrate ANY of these relationships.
All you know how to do is decide for yourself that they exist and then
get completely exasperated that the rest of the world requires a higher
level of demonstration than "it's obvious to Dušan" or "there's a
resemblance".

It isn't about opening minds. It's about you learning how to make a case

So, if the female makes it more difficult
and challenging to be accessible, then the
male will grow smarter? Iow, she can
set the standard of intelligence in men?
>
> Heidi, Heidi, please stop insulting women!
I don't think that is the case. You're the one
claiming a man's intelligence level is something
a woman has control over. ;-)
Now, let's look at the real world. In societies
where women are hidden and kept away from
men until a marriage has been arranged for them,
I don't see that those societies doing
as well in terms of the sciences, technological
advances and economic output as the societies
where women are much more accessible.
So, it seems to be easy women create
smarter men. Hard to get women end up
with dummies.
Well, in any case, it appears that the
spark in a man's loin lights up his
brain. The more he is around women,
the brighter he becomes. ;-)
Take care,
Heidi
I am neither, but I suspect you are one of them. You did not address
the matter at all in that message, but rather mouthed a rather
simplistic lesson on permutations:
|Do you understand what the word "permutation" means (it is the change
|of order among the given elements/objects); and hadn't you noticed
|that I was talking about possible _combination_ INSIDE the
|threesyllabic "formula"? I hope you are clever enough to understand
|that no permutation is possible if a single one object (undividable
|unit) is set in line. In this case there are the three elements
|(primordial syllables), which constitute the "well-spring" of human
|speech (the "generator" of words).
If you look above in this message, you will see where I hazarded what
seemed to me to be the six possible permutation of Xur, Bel, and Gon in
response to your assertion that there were 12 possible permutations.
But you replied (as you can see above) with a list of an additional nine
permutations, for a total of 15.
So I ask again with the hope that this time you'll be responsive, which
is it? 12 or 15? (I might mention that I'm losing faith in your HSF
theory; it seems a little flakey if you can't decide something as
fundamental as the number of basic permutations of your magic three
syllables.)
YES, that's exactly right! :-)

Sure you are insulting women. You are insulting
them by implication.
The men's stupidity is the product of hundreds of thousands
of years of selective breeding experiment conducted by women.
You said, men are stupid. If after so many thousands of generations
they are still stupid, the only conclusion one can draw is that
women are not even intelligent enough to figure out it might be
good idea to have a smart breadwinner and smart kids.

Well, you may say this, that and the other, but you are
a woman and according to you women can't tell or don't
care to tell a smart man from a dummy.
So, there you are. :-)

I'm confused here..
Instead of "Mooga, go kill moomat if you want dinner (and nookie)
tonight."
By applying Dushan's Xur-Bel-Gon Basis wouldn't 'Mukla' (Bel-Bel) said
something more like:
'Xur ! Gon Gon-Gon Bel-Gon Xur-Bel Xur-Bel-Bel Bel-Gon' ???
Wouldn't that be more correct?

You've heard the term, "useful idiot," have you not?
Back in the days when I was a much younger woman,
I had a very good paying job, a house, a car, and money
for exotic vacations. I quite literally had it all!
However, my house needed windows replaced
and some other renovations. I moaned and
griped to my friends, "All I need is a man
with some muscle. He doesn't have to
have a brain or anything. I can always
tell him what to do."
Well...6 months later, lo and behold! I met
the man who would become my husband.
However, he came with a bonus! A brain...
a real working brain!
YES!!!
A man with muscle and a brain,
who would have thunk it? Well...I decided
he was a real keeper. We've been married
for over 25 years! He's been useful to
me throughout all that time! ;-)
Take care,
Heidi
Pretty sure. But I'm amazed by your refusal to address this issue. I
thought your HSF theory spoke to you. It must have been lying when it
said there were 12 basic permutation of the three syllable formula.
Can you not remember the moment when you bumped your head and became
retarded?
DV
Do not push to hard, Heidi.
Educate him in a small doses.
Kriha is (temporarily) an useless idiot...
DV
You mean the term coined by somebody called Ulyanov?

I've never met an intelligent and well educated woman who
was willing to share her entire life with a thicko, a woman
who sooner or later wasn't looking for an intelligent and
educated life partner.

What about your wife? Is she unintelligent and uneducated? :-)
DV
I hope Kriha wouldn't deem my above words as offensive. It is a normal
joke among the Serbs.
My wife is always "boasting" that she married me after she concluded
that her future husbund is dumb enough for her taste and
expectations.
She always stayed what she was: a BRIDE who maintained the BRIDLE! :-)
DV
What kind of a retarded question is that?
It must be awfully embarassing for you to have made such a grievous
mistake about your pet theory. What else can I conclude from your
persistent refusal to answer my simple question:
When you said there were 12 permutation of the three-syllable basic
formula, but later contributed 9 permutations to my 6, adding up to not
12 but 15, what in the hell did you mean?
It sounds to me like Dušan doesn't even know his own pet theory!
Permutation Karl, why don't you go back to kindergarten... you
pathetic little dumbo?

(Iosef Bros Tito? :-)
You probably think it was Uncle Joe Dzhugashvili because
you learned the term from internet pages, or from people
who learned it from there.
If you read a little bit about what Ulyanov said and wrote
prior to and during NEP (New Economic Policy), before his
heart attack, while he was the top dog in charge of the Bolshevic
party, you'd know that he kept using that term well before
Dzhugashvili had any chance to enveigle himself into a position
of power and say anything profound people around him
would care to write down in the history books.

You asking me.... you really asking me???
Actually, I have never managed to read "Gulag" from cover
to cover. When it came out in the sixties,the subject of the
story was an old hat for me. I wouldn't rate it extra high just
because of it. I felt, it didn't have much of any artistic value,
his prose was boring and pedestrian. I thought I was reading
a bad translation, so I borrowed a Russian language version
but it was just the same in blue, so to speak.

You judge for yourself, she has a MSc in automation and

working as a uni asistent lecturer in her fifth year, when she
was my student. Still, the marriage lasted only seven years.

*One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich* reads rather better in
English (and was a pretty good movie, too) -- maybe it's so in the
original too?
I haven't read any of his books in English so I can't compare
it with other translations and originals. "One Day" is an earlier
work than "Gulag". You are probably right. IIRC, when I read
then, I thought it was better read than "Gulag".
