Since I began analyzing the symbolism of very old and important words in every language about 30 years ago, I'd like to summarize one example.  The Latin word * phallus refers to a symbolic image or likeness of the male sexual organ, representing themes of fertility and creation. Although it's sometimes used to denote the male sexual organ itself, its primary significance lies in its symbolic function rather than its anatomical reality. However, the origin of this symbolic concept remains unclear. From which primordial language does it stem? What common symbolism exists between "baba" (father), creator, phallus, filius , seed, and God across Proto-Indo-European (PIE) languages ? Despite their differing forms and phonetic representations, these words share a semantic meaning related to creation and generation with an primordial root such as "bha" or "bhi". Their forms and phonetic representations are quite different from one another as words, whic...

The Albanian language , with its unique grammatical structures and idiomatic expressions , can indeed shape the way people think and perceive the world.

Fragment of an apotropaic mosaic with a fish-shaped cock surrounded by two triangular female vulvas and the inscription O CHARI. From Hadrumetum, dated between the late 2nd and mid-3rd centuries AD. Archaeological Museum of Sousse, Tunisia. Vladimir Orel claims that the Albanian word *kar is borrowed from:   kar m ‘penis’. Borrowed from Gypsy kar id. (MEYER Wb. 176). 0 TREIMER MRIW | 366; TAGLIAVINI Dalmazia 141. However, the Romani language's history contradicts this: The first written evidence of Romani dates back to 1542 AD in Western Europe. Linguistic analysis suggests Romani originated from New Indo-Aryan languages, indicating migration from India around 1000 AD. Romani's grammatical evolution, such as losing the neuter gender, parallels other Indian languages. The language developed distinct features during migration, influenced by languages like Greek and Armenian. Given the timeline, Orel's claim seems unlikely. Possible explanations: 1. Albanian *kar might be an a...
