Pictographic Origins: The Role of O and R in Language

The Semantic Connection between O, R, and Shape

Every language contains numerous units featuring the vowel and letters O and R. A fundamental question arises: Is there a semantic relationship between O and R and the shape or movement of the objects they represent?

Pictographic Origin

Words like the Albanian language "gojë" "mouth," the English word "mouth", the Italian word bocca (mouth), "gola"(throat) of Latin and "throat" of English, the Albanianlanguage word "koke" (head), the Latin word "orbis," the Albanian language word "vórbë" (pipkin, clay pot used to boil food) and its synonym "poçe", the latin word "sole" (sun), the German language word "sonne" (sun), the latin "occhio" or Slavic "okio" (eye), the Albanian language word "koqe, bole, tope"( small round or oval-shaped thing, vulgar: usually in the plural testicle; ball, nut), and many other words of European languages seem to have a pictographic origin, with the shapes O and R being codified before the language was written. This suggests that the physical properties of objects or actions are reflected in the words that represent them.
Semantic Relations
Words containing O and R that represent objects or actions with circular or rounded shapes or movements may indicate a deeper semantic connection. For instance:
1. Albanian "vrap"* (run), Albanian "rend" (to run), Gothic 𐍂𐌹𐌽𐌽𐌰𐌽 (rinnan) and Old Norse rinna (“to run”). English  "run" and Italian "correre" (run) might be related to the concept of rotation or movement.
2. Abstract concepts like Albanian language word "rro" (live) and the Latin word hōra" (hour) and ancient Greek word ὥρᾱ (hṓrā, "ora" (hour) could be derived from the RO concept.
3. Physical objects like "rrote" (wheel) and "reth" (circle) provide a clear example of the O-R code.
Language Reflection
Language is a reflection of the world that surrounds us and its actions. Albanian, in particular, might have a unique connection to this concept due to its essence.
Etymological Categorization
The current etymological categorization of linguistic units is problematic. A new approach based on physical qualities of objects or actions could provide a more accurate understanding of word construction.
Conclusion
The presence of O and R in words representing circular, round, or radiused objects or actions is unlikely to be accidental. Instead, it reveals the true root of word construction. By categorizing words based on physical properties, we may uncover a more profound understanding of language structure and evolution.

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...

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.

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...
