Uncovering the Roots of Agriculture: An Etymological Analysis of the Albanian Word 'Plúar

Etymological analysis of the Albanian word "plúar" (plow).

"Plúar" shares a Central European origin with the Germanic etymon and represents a Northern European innovation also found in Old Irish ["dlongid" - "d"division-lu(movement)-gid(earth)]

The division of the word into three embryonic forms of the Albanian language "bë" (to do, me bo, ba), "lu" (move) and "ar" (working land) - provides an explanation for the meaning of the word and its connections with the roots European.
A plow is an agricultural tool used to break and turn the soil, preparing it for planting seeds or transplanting crops. It is a basic tool for tilling the soil, making it suitable for agriculture.
The logical connection between the plow and the embryoforms "bh(ë)" (to do), "lu" (move) and "ar" (and) lies in the function of the plow:
- "Bh(ë)" (to do) represents the action of tilling the land, cultivating it and making it suitable for agriculture.

- "Lu" (move) reflects the movement of the plow through the soil, breaking and turning it.
- "Ar" (field) is the object on which work is done, the land itself.
We have only one phonetic transformation b>p.
Together, these embriforms summarize the purpose of the plough: to work the soil (bhe), to move it (lu) to prepare it for agriculture, to act on the soil (ar).
From a linguistic point of view, the connection between the plow and the germ forms "bh(ë)" (to do, make), "lu" (move) and "ar" (earth, soil, arable, workin land) can be explained in the following terms:
- "Bh(ë)" (do) represents the verb component, which indicates the action of tilling the soil.
- "Lu" embodies the kinetic aspect, implying the movement and action of the plough.
- "Ar" constitutes the nominal element, which represents the object on which it is acted upon (ars).
Linguistically, this division illustrates:
- Verb-noun conjunction (bhë+ ar): The verb component "bh*ë)" joins the noun element "ar" to form a conjunction, conveying the action of working the field.
- Verb-verb conjugation [bh(ë)+ lu]: The verb components "bh(ë)" and "lu" join to form a conjunction, expressing the movement and action of the plow.
- Semantic composition: The combination of "bh(ë)", "lu" and "ar" creates a semantic composition, where the meaning of each component contributes to the overall meaning of the word "plúar".
This linguistic analysis shows how the embryo form "pluar" includes "be", "lu" and "ar" which converge to form a word that summarizes the function of the plough.
"Ar" comes from Proto-Albanian "*arwā" derived from Proto-Indo-European "*h₂r̥h3-wé-reh2", which carries the meaning of "fertile land". This root is related to Proto-Indo-European "*h₂erh₃-" meaning "to plough".
Cognates in Ancient Greek ("ἄρουρα" - ároura) and Sanskrit ("उर्वरा" - urvarā) highlight the common linguistic heritage of these languages.
The possible relationship with "arbër" (which means "Albanian") draws a connection between the concept of fertile land and the identity of the Albanian people.
The connection with Messapic "aran" further expands the family linguistic connections of the Albanian language.
The adjective "bluar" also proves the origin of this embryomorph from Albanian:


"Bluar" (Milled over) - That is made into flour or powder, finely crushed; chopped.

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. Heiser, PhD candidate, Department of Hebrew and Semitic Studies , University of Wisconsin...

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...
