Free Operator -G(ë)- Symbol
For the fifth time in the last 15 years, I'm revisiting the symbolism of "G" in the Albanian language. A remarkable example comes from the Vinca culture (5700-4500 BC), where a unique, handmade ceramic vessel with a vein was discovered in Central Europe. This ancient artifact holds significant importance in understanding the evolution of language and symbolism.
Modern etymology often falls short in grasping the symbolic essence of word construction, relying on partial and truncated methods. The symbol "G" is a prime example. The word "vegë" illustrates this symbolism, yet official etymology deviates from its true essence, overlooking the time of creation, applied symbolism, and possible previous symbol-concepts.
Let's examine two key points:
1. When was the word "vegë" created? Elementary logic suggests it was around 7000 years ago, in the Vinca culture, when the first clay vessel with a vein (called "poçe" in Albanian) was invented. This culture, situated in lands historically inhabited by Albanians, was likely the hub for the vessel's creation, which later spread to other European countries.
2. What previous linguistic elements were used to create "vegë"? The pre-Albanian Vinça script, a symbolic language, likely employed symbols like "V" for the vessel and "G" for connection or attachment, similar to the finger's relation to the hand. Notably, the first clay vessel had a V-shape without a vein, as analyzed by Luftulla Peza.
The official etymology attributes "vegë" to Proto-Albanian *waigā and Proto-Indo-European *ueiH, *ueHi- ("to spin, weave"), comparable to Latin "vieo" ("to bend, weave"). However, an alternative perspective suggests that "vegë" was created to describe the first clay vessel with a vein, built from earlier symbols where "V" represents the vessel and "G" the connection or attachment of a semicircular vein to it. The vein is the G itself.
This alternative perspective raises intriguing questions about the origins of language and the evolution of symbolism. It highlights the complexity and depth of the Albanian language, which has been shaped by thousands of years of history and cultural exchange.
Furthermore, this analysis underscores the importance of reexamining established etymological theories and considering alternative perspectives. By doing so, we can gain a deeper understanding of the intricate relationships between language, culture, and history.
In conclusion, the study of the "G" symbol in the Albanian language offers a fascinating glimpse into the country's rich linguistic and cultural heritage. As we continue to explore and analyze the complexities of language, we may uncover new insights that challenge our current understanding and shed new light on the ancient roots of our words.
