The widely accepted etymology of "Pan" from ancient "Greek" πᾰν- (pan-), combining the form of πᾶς (pâs, "all, every"), is a misconception. In reality, ancient "Greek" is none other than Albanian "pa an", meaning "without sides" or "boundless". This concept, stolen from the Albanian language, was technologicalized or interpreted as "all" or "everything" by medieval church priests and attributed to Ancient Greek.
The concept of "pa an" represents something without a beginning or end, challenging traditional notions of boundaries and limitations. The semantic connection between "sides" and "beginning" and "end" lies in the idea of borders, where sides mark the starting point or end of something. Conversely, something without sides implies a lack of borders or boundaries, suggesting infinity and limitlessness.
This idea of "sidelessness" encompasses not only spatial boundaries but also temporal ones, implying something that transcends traditional notions of beginning and ending in time and space. The concept of "all" is closely related to the ideas of boundaries, beginnings, and endings, where the absence of boundaries or sides allows for a universal, infinite scope, and completeness.
The connection between "all" and the lack of boundaries can be seen in several ways:
- Universality: Without limits, something can be considered universal, applying to everything, and therefore, "all".
- Infinity: The absence of limits implies infinity, including all possibilities or entities.
- Completeness: The absence of edges or boundaries suggests completeness, where everything is included, and nothing is left out, i.e., "all".
In this context, the Albanian language concept of "no side" can be seen as a fundamental aspect of the idea of "all", "everything", where the absence of borders or boundaries allows for a universal, infinite scope, and completeness. The term "without sides" means the space that has no end, it is the whole, the modern concept we have today of the whole.
The modern concept cannot escape the first language that created it. Words change over time in language, but the concept of the first language that formed them does not die; it remains within human thought. This semantic connection highlights the deep relationship between the concepts of sides, borders, beginnings, physical or temporal endings, and "no side", "all", the concept of the whole created by the first Albanians.
Furthermore, this etymological exploration reveals a broader pattern of cultural and linguistic appropriation, where ideas and concepts are borrowed and reinterpreted without proper acknowledgment. It is essential to recognize and respect the origins of these concepts, giving credit to the languages and cultures that first developed them.
In conclusion, the concept of "Pan" and its relation to "all" and "everything" have been misattributed to Ancient Greek. Instead, the Albanian language's idea of "pa an" or "without sides" is the true source of this concept, highlighting the importance of linguistic and cultural accuracy in understanding the development of human thought and ideas.
