Etymology of "Greek" words that have remained without etymology.

Etymology of "Greek" words that have remained without etymology.

1) αὐχήν (aukhḗn)
ἄσκρα · δρῦς ἄκαρπος 'fruitless tree'.
The etymology:
From the Albanian language "a-uk-ke", uk ke/uk ka which means "there is no".
a=is
uk=do not, non
ke, ka=have
By the way *δρῦς is the Albanian word for wood.
2) The word σκύρον has no semantic connection with ἄσκρα.
*σκυράω (skuron), translated as "go 'mad' from eating".
Etymology of σκύρον:
From the Albanian language word *shkallon which means mad, to get crazy, where l>r, "shkallon" from eating. It is still used today randomly in the Albanian language, "shkallon" to eat. It is related semantically with another Albanian language word *shklyn, shklien (to split off). Shklyen is the first semantic germ form of this word. The semantic connection with a complete meaning matching between the two words is *shkallon (to get crazy/mad). There is also the Albanian word *shkárë (i, e) (crazy, mad) that has the same meaning as *shkalluar, which is very close phoentically and semantically with σκυράω as well.
3) The word ἀσκωλιάζω (askōliázō) means 'to jump on the fat wine cask to ἀ.', from which it is thought ἀσκωλιασμός comes, somewhere else it means 'to ride on one leg; they jump up and down with their legs held together'.
Etymology of ἀσκωλιάζω:
This word also comes from the Albanian language "shkallon" (to get crazy/mad)
4) ἄσμενος. 'satisfied, happy' (Il.). "?"
•der ἀσμενίζω [v.] 'to take with joy, to be pleased' (Plb.), ἀσμενισμός 'pleasure' (Ph.); ἀσμενέω [v.] (Din.).
Etymology ἄσμενος. The root is again the Albanian language "as mer i zo"
Where=
*as= is
*man=take=take (man>mar, r>n)
*Zo=joy. Gezo is an albanian word as a composit of *ge(thing) and *zo(joy). Zo is the root of *gëzoj (enjoy) of the Albanian language.
Beekes wrote: •etym Isolated particle, which has been interpreted as a sigmatic aorist *ϝάδ-σ-μενος from the root of ►ἁνδάνω, ►ἥδομαι, but note that the form has no aspirate. Wackernagel 1897: 6 proposed the connection with ►νέομαι 'to return' as *n̥s-s-menos, assuming an original meaning 'certain' (see DELG). Not convincing.
5) The word ἀσπάζομαι (aspázomai) I welcome with kindness, I greet' (Il.). "?"
ἀσπάσασθαι.
Beekes:
"Verb nouns ἀσπασμός (Thgn.), ἄσπασμα (E., Ph.), ἀσπαστύς [f.] (Call.) 'greeting, caress'. An old adjective is ἀσπάσιος 'welcome, glad' (Il.), after other adjectives in -σιος (Schwyzer: 466, Chantraine 1933: 41), cf. the
Verbal adjective ἀσπαστός 'welcome' (for example), ἀσπαστικός 'cheerful, friendly' (plb.). On ἀσπακάζομαι (Com. Adesp.), ἀσπακῶς· φιλοφρόνως ‘friendly’ (H.) see Frisk 1934: 62ff.
There is no etymology. Connection with ►σπάω in the sense "to withdraw from oneself" has been proposed, but then ἀ- would have to be the pre-Greek prothetic vowel. Kretschmer Glotta 12 (1923): 189p. derives it from *ἀν-σπάζομαι."
Etymology of ἀσπάζομαι"
It comes from the Albanian language: "as ba zon" (where n>m, ai=suffix), wheach translated word për word "makes you a voice" with the meaning "send a word" which is the meaning of greeting, speaks to him, invites him by making a voice. Even today in the Cham language, the expression "bëj një zë Astritit", and it has the meaning invite= call someone to participate in a job or a joint activity.
6) αὐχάττειν (aukatein) · ἀναχωρεῖν καὶ τὸ ἐμμένειν ἐγχάττειν. Meaning 'return'.
Etymology of αὐχάττειν:
From the Albanian language "a u kathe", "a u kthe" which means "I am return" ,"in" is a suffix form of verbs of the third level of the language, the new languages, using the "n" endings of the Albanian language of the third person verbs, and the accusative case ending of the nouns of the Albanian language.
The root of *au is also Albanian
a=is
u=I
Katte=kathe>kthe (return) is the root.

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...
