The etymology of Sisyphus

In Greek mythology, Sisyphus or Sisyphos (/ˈsɪsɪfəs/; Ancient Greek: Σίσυφος Sísyphos) was the founder and king of Ephyra (now known as Corinth). Hades punished him for cheating death twice by forcing him to roll a huge boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity. Through classical influence on modern culture, tasks that are both laborios and futile are described as Sisyphus (/sɪsɪˈfiːən/).

There is also the Albanian language *sfilit which means immense fatigue.

Where does the Albanian language word *SFILIS, SFILIT, SFILITEM come from?

Does it come from Sisyphus semantics?
Of course the words have a strong semantic connection, if someone rolls a huge stone to the top of a hill and rolls the stone down every time he gets close to the top, and the repetition of this action is exhausting, it is an immense fatigue.

The forms of both words SISYPHES and SFILIS(t) are close as well. 

How is it possible that a concept and word of Greek mythology is just a small verb of the Albanian language?

It is a verb in the Albanian language, and an old word, and it is not a modern influence of the classical period because because the Albanian language word has a specific meaning as fatigue. On the orher hand, the linguists  say the Albanian language was written very late, the history of the language says that the Europeans and the Albanians could not read the old Greek because they did not know how to read and write.
They could not even read Albanian until 1900. 

How did this word pass from ancient Greek to the Albanian language?

There is only one possibility, the old Greek language was the Albanian language and word *SFILIT was an Albanian word with which Greek mythology was written. 

What is the origin of the word SISYPHES?
There is no word in ancient greek to explain the meaning of  SISYPHES.

The etymology of Σίσυφί SISYPHES=
SIZYFES=
SI ZI FE-S=Ku y>i
SE ZE FI>Where i>e is a common wavel alternation in ancient Greek words. (See Beekes)
Meaning: "does not catch the beginning". 
SE means does not. 
ZE means catch.
FI means beginning.
The beginning: when every time it neared the top of the hill. He never reaches the top of the hill, the beginning of the hill. 
Ancient greek and Albanian share dhe same concept for the beginning of a human body, hill and mountain. The head is the starting point of the human body, or top of a mountain. The word is KRY in Albanian language and CRO in ancient greek
Where FI is today's Albanian word *fillimin. *Fi is the proto-Albanian word for beginning, and the letter φ of the alphabet that is called the ancient Greek alphabet in our moder times.

Nephilim

N 'eh - Ph 'ih- L 'ee- M /  Nepheeleem Zacharia Sitchin (July 11, 1920 – October 9, 2010)  wrote the " Nephilim " (נְפִילִים) is derived from “nafàl" and means “fall". The term Nephilim occurs in Genesis 6:1-4, describing the point of time when three things began: men began to increase in number, came into existence the daughters of men , and the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. Is the "nephillim" really only a Hebrew word? That question is very subtle, however I think it has been more a limit of thinking for linguists rather than a serious argument. Let's begin first with the probable meaning the linguists think it is. We know that the " fall"  in every language means moving downward from a higher position involuntarily, usually by an accident, which maybe was the reason why Michael S.

Word creation. The "D" letter origin and the "D" pictogram rule of the word creation.

  In this article I will cover  the origin of the letter  D letter, and the pictogram concept of the word creation.  It was my first discovery of the word creation. In this blog I will give my discoveries, the rules of word creation of the European languages. Multiple theories exist as to how language first originated. Nobody is sure which one is true. Certified Translations Get Pricing Order Translation What is the Oldest Language in the World? There are over 7,000 languages in the world. Could there have been a time on the earth that we all spoke one language? If so, what is the oldest language in the world?  So what was the first language?  Discovering the first language that people spoke is difficult because so many languages died and were considered lost in history. However, ancient languages still survive until today; these languages may have been transformed a lot but their old origins may be traceable. Written languages existed but this does n...

Total positional tolerance at material condition

Total positional tolerance at material condition (Hole) Suppose the Ø 1.005 / 1.010 hole is inspected and there are six parts with different ID dimensions. Their actual sizes checked with run out methods give that their actual axis is to be .006” over and up from the true position even though they have different actual ID’s. We want to know which part is within true position tolerance at MMC. Parts to be acceptable require some calculation when is used the run out method.             In GD&T, maximum material condition (MMC) refers to a hole that contains the greatest amount of material.             To understand and memorize simply and logically the concept, I suppose that you have a part designed as a square with one hole in the center, Ø 1.005 / 1.010 . You have produced just 5 parts and measured their holes. The hole of part #1 is on the low side of its tolerance Ø 1.005" and the hole of part #5 is on high sid...
