Easter, Pasha and Spring. Ostara, Ishtar, Austra etc.
It all started in the chat room. Then I read this
thread.
In Russian, the word "Paskha" ("PasHa") is almost always used instead of "Easter". This word is very similar to the word "pashnya" - "plow". And the first plowing takes place in the spring.
A logical meaning (one of) for the celebration of spring. Also, in Russian, "Pasha" is a shortened form of the name "Pavel", "Paul".
The word "ployka" refers to a series of parallel wave-like folds.
Weed control is called "polka" or "propolka". An agricultural field is called a "pole". It is close in sound to "Paul".
The letter combination "ist", in Russian, periodically has the meaning "sources, beginnings, present, authentic. Istok or Istochnik (the beginning of something), Istoriya (the science of our past, of our beginnings and sources), Istina (the truth, the true primary source of any knowledge, the beginning that one tries to comprehend, to which one strives, the beginning of all beginnings), Istets (the one who brings a suit in court or the one with whose statement the legal proceedings begin).
In modern English (and in Germanic languages), this connection can be seen-heard in the pronunciation of the word "
east"-where the sun rises or the place from which the sun begins its journey. (Personally, I'm not sure that the modern notion of the word "east" corresponds to the ancient east. It is possible that during the operation to fragment a single language, the leaders of that operation deliberately changed the concepts. It is also possible that different peoples may have oriented themselves differently. Consider north as south, south as north, etc. This phenomenon occurs from time to time in various old maps).
In Latin language east is written as "
orient". In Russian, this word (as "orientir") is used in the sense of "a guide or example for something. Also, the word "orient" can be close to the word "origin" (authentic, source of origin). Even etymological dictionaries point to this. The approximate meaning may be as follows. "
ad" ("ar") + "gen" (g-y-j-zh) = direction to the place of birth, origin, origin. (Wow. Went out to Argentina. It happens... Given that the east wind blows west, this is an interesting coincidence. By the way, this etymological version does not exclude the main version of the etymology of the word "Argentina". Maybe silver is the source of attraction of some wind, gas, light, or something similar).
It is possible that in some language there are words like adgen-adjen-adyen-adzhen for "east", "silver", "shine".
In Hungarian, the word east is spelled "kelet." In Russian there is the word "kletka" (or "klet'"), a closed/inaccessible space or locked space or sacred space or pantry or barn. The second meaning of the word is a human cell (again, a slight reference to the beginning of all beginnings). It is possible that the Hungarians (or their ancestors) by the word "east" meant some closed and/or unknown and/or sacred territory. It is possible that the Hungarian language has (or had) the prefix "ke", which is endowed with some meaning. Then it is added to the word "let" (Russian meanings are year, time, life, being, fly, summer).
In Russian, the word "east" is written as "vostok" = "vos" (upward motion and/or re-committed action) + "tok" (current or flow) = flow (or current), whose movement is directed upward and/or flow is committed again and again.
In Russian, "spring" is spelled "vesna". Which correlates with the meaning of the prefix "vos/voz," but Russian linguists/etymologists do not see this and attribute only the meaning of fun (veselie) - the time when life is good and when you want to jump for joy.
"
Spring" is close to "pryganie." The original meaning is the same - "to jump". A curious detail. There is a reading rule in ancient Greek: "γγ" ("gg") is read as "ng". But at the same time, the root "pryg" is considered Russian. (There is a similar root "prug". Its derivatives are "pruzhina" (spring, mainspring), "uprugost" (elasticity) ). Perhaps this is one of the (very many) traces that leads to the defragmentation of a single language. The word "
jump" is similar to the word "zhym" - raising a barbell above the head until the arms are fully straightened. An analogy to jumping, where the legs are first bent and then straightened. A derivative of "zhym" is "szhymanie" (squeeze).
In Church Slavonic (and in ancient Greek), the word "east" is spelled "anatole" and is consistent with the logic of the Russian language. "Ana" + "tole." Preserved as the name "Anatoly."
I summarize this as follows. Previously, the first month on the calendar was March. Accordingly, the year began during spring. Spring is the source (beginning) of the whole year.
UPD1.
I think it is obvious that the word "begin" = "be" + "gen" = birth of life-zhyzn' (in the broadest sense) and being-bytie.
UPD2.
It is possible that our ancestors tried to reproduce the mechanisms of the planetary poles in the agricultural field (russian "pole"). Examples are
here (Alanna Moore) and
here.
Also, in Russian, the word "pole" is used in the following senses. Information field or infopole (information surrounding us), a wide field of activity for a person (many opportunities for a person who has some material, managerial or intellectual advantages or is in a favorable environment for development and creativity).
The
English meanings presented in Wikipedia are also present in Russian.
UPD3.
With German and Dutch, it's easy enough. "Lenz" and "
Lente" are derived from the Proto-European root "Lent" (cereals). There is a semantic overlap with the English "
Lent". "Lens" is Latin for
lentil. Spring is a time of cereals (lent-time-year).
Another German word,
Frühling, is similar. Only now instead of cereal, the Latin root "fru" (
fruit, fruct, frukt) meaning fruit. Spring is the time of fruit (fru-time-year). "
ling" is a German prefix that indicates (one of several meanings) a connection to some quality. The other connection has the meaning "
früh" (early), but it also corresponds to the Latin root "fru". Fru arises early.
There is an interesting detail (a stable expression or saying) in the Dutch language.
Spring (Lente) is a lazy woman (Luie Vrouw). This peculiarity is interesting because the word for lazy is " Len' " in Russian.
In Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, spring is spelled "
primavera". "Prima" (first) + "vera". There is no certainty with the root "ver". There are two main versions. The first one refers to the PIE root "wes-r", which we have already seen in Russian. If we assume that the basis of the word "vesna" is the meaning of the Russian prefix "vos", then "primavera" is the first part of a large time cycle, which is repeated over and over again (in this case, a year) or the first part of a large time interval (in this case, year). The second version goes back to the Latin "verus" (true). The English word "
very" and the Russian "verny" (true, original). Again we find this meaning, but in a different alphabetic form. Which leads us to the meaning that spring is the "primary beginning" (in this case, the beginning of the year).
In French, the word spring is spelled "
printemps". "Prin" (first) + "temp" (time, stretch, tempo). Spring is the first time period (in this case, of the year) or the first stretching or growing (in this case, of nature). This version, in my opinion, is very interesting, because it allows us to look at the word "
temple" from a different angle. According to this logic, the temple is the place where the procreation (or production) took place.
UPD4.
By the way, the word "vera" in Russian denotes belief/faith in and/or trust in and/or believe in and/or accept something as true. There is also the name "Vera".
Immediately I was reminded of the Sherlock series, where there was his sister (
Eurus - east wind). Also, she portrayed a psychologist (Ursa, Ursula - bear), a girl on a bus (Elizabeth - My God is an oath), the daughter of a billionaire (Feith).
The point of the series is that we learn of the existence of Sherlock's sister (very clever), whom he has forgotten about in order to get his childhood memories out of his head. As a child, Eurus killed (drowned in a well) Sherlock's best friend (Redbeard) for Sherlock not wanting to play with her. For which she was sent to Sherrinford Special Prison. For many years no one remembered her and almost no one knew her.
Considering who the most famous red-bearded man from the east is, the context is very curious...
If you accept the stolen historical and etymological context, this series has an interesting meaning.
UPD5.
There is another interesting connection formed by the "SH-X" transition. Pasha -> Pax -> Peace. Peace (Mir). Labor (Trud). May.
"Mir" - silence, peace, tranquility, tranquility, freedom.
"
Peace" - similar to ±, with "Mir."
"Pisati" - to convey thoughts on paper without using voice (in silence). This is my intended meaning, not the official one. The English word "
write" (a curious detail, if you read the English letters in Russian, you get the word "vrite" - lie, deceive) is close to German "
reissen" (to draw) and Russian "risovati" (to draw). One version of the origin, the ancient Scandinavian word "rita" (to write). Rita Skeeter comes to mind. A curious coincidence with ancient Greek ≈ "
reta" (Speech, Rede, Rech).
"Pisk" - a soft (close to silence) high pitched sound. A mosquito's squeak. Komariny pisk.
"
May". It's obvious here.
Magic (magiya), moguchy (mighty), mogu (can). Interesting correlations with the name Maya, the Mayan people, the philosophical concept of
Maya, the prophet Muhammad (Magomed in Russian - "mag" + "
med" spreading magic or might).
UPD6.
The French word "
peux", the Spanish and Portuguese words "puedo"/"
poder", the Italian word "potere" come from the PIE root "poti" (lord, gospodin, owner, vladelets, husband, muzh).
In English this root is reflected in the words "
possible" (vozmozhny), "
power" (moshch), "
patron" (pokrovitel'). In Russian - in the words "
posokh" (staff, stick - a symbol of power), "pasti" (to graze cattle), "pastukh"/"pastor" (shepherd; one who grazes cattle), "pastva" (flock; people who are under the pastor's care), "spasti" (to protect, preserve).
Another interesting detail. In Hungarian "Isten" means "god. A very interesting detail. "Can" in Hungarian is "tudok". Also echoes the words "Theo", "Teus", "Deus", "Tudor", "Theodor", "Fyodor" etc. To be able to act. Byt' (be) sposobnym (sob; sposob;
saber;
manera; ≈
method; modo;
fason) deystvovat' (deus;
hacer; facere;
face). "Magic" in Hungarian is "varazslat". Close to the Russian words "
vorozhenie" (charms, sorcery).
In Hungarian, "act/way/sposob" is "út". (By the way, "way/road/path" is Russian for "put'"). In Russian there is a root with an unclear etymology that occurs quite often. The root is "yut. "Priyut" (shelter for children; to accommodate children without parents), "Priyutiti" (to shelter, to accommodate, "not to leave a person without work, labor, activity" and "to find a person a useful job for the collective for a while," to help a person with lodging in a difficult situation), "Uyut" (comfort, homely and comfortable atmosphere), "Yutit'sa" (a way to accommodate a large number of people in a small space).
UPD7.
The English word "can" is from the word "Kan"/"Khan"/"Han" (sovereign, lord).
The Russian word "mogu" (pronounced "magu") is from the word "Mag" (magician, mighty).
UPD8.
There is also the word "sila" (strength, power) in Russian. There is an interesting correlation with the word "silence.
Silence(tishyna)/hush(molchanie) is power(sila)/gold(zoloto). There are devils in a quiet pool. If you keep quiet, you'll pass for clever. Be afraid of the quietest and/or calm person in the room.
That's what comes to mind. I'm sure there are more examples of similar phraseology in other languages.
