The Earth-Born King: Unraveling the Mystery of Erichthonius' Name

Choose the one that resonates with you the most, or feel free to modify any of these titles to best capture the essence of your exploration!

The name Erichthonius presents a fascinating case study in etymology, with connections to various languages and roots. The "pre-Greek" form of the name can be linked to the Albanian language, specifically the words "toke" (earth) and "xerr" (extract), "xer" (Cham Albanian), "xjerr" (Geg Albanian) and "nxjerr" (standard Albanian)
This decomposition reveals a possible meaning of "take out the land" or "earth-born."
The nephew's name, Erechtheus, further supports this connection, with the Albanian verb "xjerr" (to take out) and the roots "dhé" (soil). The nominative ending "US" is an addition of "S" to "U" the nominative ending od the Albanian language of word "dhé", which becomes "dheu" also align with this etymology.
The popular etymologies for Erichthonius' name, such as connections to "shake" (ἐρέχθω), "wool" (ἔριον), and "earth" (χθών), may also hold significance. However, the Albanian roots and verb "xjerr", "dhé" and "tok(ë)" provide a more convincing and coherent explanation.
The intentional changes in the Albanian roots and the possible medieval authorship of "ancient" books raise intriguing questions about the evolution of languages and the transmission of knowledge.

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...
