The origin of the word ubriaco

UBRIACO

Drunk

DEFINITION Who is in a state of acute alcoholism; Drunk

OFFICIAL ETYMOLOGY

from Latin: ebriacus drunk. Composed of ebrius, of uncertain etymology, but certainly opposed to sobrius sobrio, and from the suffix, -acum found also in unmixed meracum, from pure merum (wine).

The above etymology, although it says of uncertain etymology, is completely wrong.

Origin of words:

ebprius> e bri us> e pir us> i pir (us)

1) pi/drink

2) i pir(e)/ drunk

"Us" is the ending that always understands the verb "to be" in the third person singular is=osht-asht-isht-usht.

The root of the word is the Albanian verb *pi/drink and the adjective *i pir(e)/drunk.

Albanian dictionary: píre (i, e) adjective; also as a noun; drunk, gives way to drinking. pír/ë,-a (e) feminine noun; plural; -a(t) (the) 

1. the condition of a drunk person; drunkenness; the vice of the one who drinks constantly and excessively; drink: I drank it. 
2. plural number; the totality of drinks served at a feast; drink: they served him with food and drink. pírë,-t (to) noun of the neuter gender; drinking 

pi transitive verb; -va, -re 
1. inhale water or another liquid by mouth and swallow it in the stomach; swallow a mouthful, usually with water: drink coffee (wine); take an aspirin; drink for the health of...; without eating or drinking; was made to drink the poison (fig.) was very depressed; / also intransitive verbs; uses alcoholic beverages excessively; get drunk: he had drunk he was drunk; gets drunk without drinking (iron.); here to drink wine, there to curse the door (fig.) is not grateful.

Why Robert Beekes failed on Pre-Greek

Robert Stephen Paul Beekes (Dutch: [ˈbeːkəs]; 2 September 1937 – 21 September 2017) was a Dutch linguist who was professor of comparative Indo-European linguistics at Leiden University and the author of many monographs on the Proto-Indo language. European. Robert Beekes also worked on Pre-Greek, the language he called non-Indo-European, spoken in Greece before Greek, according to him probably around 2000 BC. Since this language was not written, Beekes took his information from many words in classical Greek that show a non-Greek structure and development.  One of these words is *ἀδάμας , whose etymology I deduced in 2014 without reading his book.  I wrote in this blog: "Do linguists know that ἀδάμας – adámas of old Greek exists in today's Albanian in the form of "pa ndam"? When I read his book and these very words, I was stunned. How can a linguist of such a level not understand this word and its origin.  Beekes writes: "Adamas, hard metal? Diamond? Derived from...

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...
