The etymology of the word
RELIGION
and beyond

There are people who, once they get to the bottom of the pyramid of Cheops and touch it,
are used to saying : "This is a hoax".  There are people  who believe  only in what the pics 
 made by NASA show, in all those photos which have been properly adapted in order 
 not to hurt our feelings. All those people are here given this advice : 
Please, stop reading this text, otherwise you will waste your time.

 
One day, I was asked to comment on the phenomenon of religion.
When this request was formulated, I was not ready.
Today it's all right.


 Well, committing to paper such an article was not easy. This kind of writing is not included 
in my octave of comfort. I had to lower my vibration to the level of unacceptability. 
I am able to pierce this level and go further in darkness, but I will not do it : 
my biological body would face undue risks. By working on this text, this body has already 
suffered some organic malfunctions and imperatively I must raise my vibration.


 Despite all this,  I think  it is essential that all of us know where we are
with our status as Homo Sapiens Sapiens species on the planet Earth.


To the readers who are intrigued, it is suggested not to skim through this text
but to take their necessary time and, if possible, to reflect for a few minutes.
An important point : readers are free, that goes without saying. If you feel  
inconvenienced, then please, stop reading. You will do it maybe another day.
In any case, just listen to your Intuition.

The word 'religion' comes from the Latin term 'rĕlĭgĭo'.  It is generally accepted that
this word has its origins in the Latin verb 'rĕ-lĭgāre' meaning 'to link up' or the verb
'rĕ-lĕgĕre' which can be translated as 'read over again', 'pick up', 'gather (again)'.
In  Ancient Greek,  λέγω  [pron. lēgo] means  'I say/speak, gather/get [a message]'.
We are used to according to the term rĕlĭgĭo the meaning of 
'What connects us (repeatedly) to God'. 


Well, how about we drill a pilot hole in this Latin bottom layer
since languages are permeable and since there is no law 
against probing in greater depth into time ?   


  To explore our past, we can use a highly particular device.
Albeit complex, it is actually an unavoidable, efficient and surprising vessel.
It is named Archetymology because within this very name, 
archeology and etymology are inextricably linked. 


Once on board and before the journey begins, we need a password, and here it is :  
𒅴𒂠[pron. Eme-Gir] meaning 'Princely or Noble Language (that bears)',
 in other words The Sumerian. There is another designation :  
𒅴𒀭[pron. Eme-An], that is to say Language from Sky/Heavens.
Both names can be used interchangeably.



 Upon this, an additional piece of information is required :
The Eme-Gir/An was a language used in the Land of Edin (or Eden) equally known 

as Kalam and later Sumer. Its ascendant is named Eme-Nita, in other words,
'Male Language'. There is also Eme-Šà, a term meaning 'Matrix Language'
or 'Female Language'. Eme-Nita and Eme-Šà are the languages used by 

the Gina'abul race that came from the very old genetic strain named Mušidim.
The Gina'abul females were mostly erudite and at least bilingual :
they spoke Eme-Šà and Eme-Nita. The males, with a few exceptions,
spoken nothing but Eme-Nita. This situation resulted from a long armed warfare
between the sexes. 


The Sumerian does not belong to any linguistic family.
Therefore it not a Semitic or Indo-European, or Sinitic (Chinese) language.
Yet, it has nevertheless served as a catalyst in the process of creation and codification 
of numerous languages on our planet primordially for political purposes.


As strange as it may sound, some languages geographically located
so far away from each other as for example Dogon with its fifteen dialects 
in West Africa or Hopi in Arizona, North America, had been linguistically 
influenced by Sumerian. The discovery of the Fuente Magna Bowl in 1950
and Pokotia Monolith in 1960 in Bolivia in the vicinity of Lake Titicaca
(so in South America !) still continue to disturb some academics defending 
tooth and nail their hard-earned shield-degrees in Darwinian archeology,
their statutes and/or their remunerations. They call it a hoax. 
But nothing helps and the strange persists. The impartial specialists 
Dr. Alberto Marini and Dr. A. Clyde Winters (2001-3013) 
conclude :
the cuneiform texts engraved on those two artifacts are in (Proto-)Sumerian.
Both objects are today part of the collection of the Museo del Oro in La Paz.
     

Thus, it is a possible and legitimate thing to start searching for those grain-words
which initially penetrated with their roots the Earth before the stems 
perceived a certain light. 


  As a reminder, the Sumerian is an inflected agglutinative language (such as
Mongolian or Basque) where morphemes and phonemes that may have 
many homonyms, are provided with not only grammatical features, but also
semantic fields which in turn are at the same time determined 
and fluctuating as a function of oral and/or written broader contexts
in the transmission of thematic messages.


In our present archetymological study, I suggest that we go back
to the Sumerian language and use it as a tool to decompose 
the word-concept 
'RELIGION
in 7 languages :
Latin (Rĕlĭgĭo), Hebrew (דת), Ancient Greek (θρησκεία),
Mandarin (宗教),
Sanskrit (मत), Arabic (دين) and Turkish (Din).


This is to see what those words mean 
at the origin of multiple origins.

~~~~~~~

In Latin Religio.

Possible Sumerian morphological articulation :

Re-Li-Gi-U  or  Re-Lu-Ig(i)-U  or  Re-íLi-Íg-Ù
(The O does not exist in Sumerian.)

  
Re7 - 'to accompany', 'lead', 'bear (a message)'.


Lí - 'right measure', Li - 'to glisten', 'shine'.
Lu - 'many', 'men', 'sheep', 'tablet [with instructions]' ;
'to multiply', 'pasture'.
Lú - 'grown man', 'human being'.
Lù - 'to disturb', 'agitate', 'stir', 'blend'.
 
As an example, 
 depending on the context and intention, 
 the sign 𒌨 means 'sheep', 'men', 'tablet', 'water'.


Íli - 'to carry', 'support', 'bring' ; 'shine'.
Ili - 'to rise', 'get up'.

  
Ig - 'door', 'entrance'.
Íg - 'water', 'speak', 'say'.
Igi - 'eye', 'face' ; 'before', 'in front of'.


 Gi - 'reed (stylus)' ; 'strengthen', 'establish', 'own' ; 'fixed'.
Gi4 - 'to surround', 'besiege', 'lock up' ; 'reject', 'dislike'.
Gi6 (Gig) - 'dark', 'black'.
Gi7 (Gir) - 'domestic'.
Gu7 - 'to feed', 'food', 'sustenance'.
Gù - 'to utter a cry'.


Ú - 'to feed', 'food', 'pasture', 'bread'.
Ù - 'to sleep' ; 'lack of discernment'.
U - 'scream', 'fight', 'dispute', 'cries' ; 'conduct', 'steer'.


The linguist of ancient languages (such as the Sumerian, Akkadian and  
Re'enkemet = the Egyptian at the time of Asar* and Thot [i.e. *Osiris]),
French-German  historian,  chronicler  and  researcher  Anton Parks
makes two suggestions  in his concise  and  relevant interpretation 
of the concept-word 'Rĕlĭgĭo', thus 'RELIGION'
as follows :
 
"[What] accompanies the teaching tablets of the sheep" or
"The teaching tablets that guide the sheep" [A. Parks].


It is possible to add some other translations as for example :

  
"[What] educates/raises [by the use of word] 
the agitated black humans/sheep [who have been] rejected/kept away".

"[The glistening/made of tears] pasture/right measure/right pasture
for the blended, tamed [and] sleepy sheep".

"The reed of power [whip or writing utensil on tablets] 

which guide the crying surly black sheep(=humans)".

"The tablets with instructions that feed the humans [who have been] locked up

[(and) deprived of discernment/intelligence]".


Upon this, it may be specified that
the name Adam which designates the famous biblical figure from the garden of Eden
is far older than what is suggested by the writers and compilers of the Jerusalem Bible.
Just like for Elohim (=Lords/Gods, and in reality Planners), it is not difficult 
to see that this very name is a plural one. In Sumerian, the word Adam 
can be actually split up into Á-Dam 

- a term which designates 'Enslaved herds' and/or 'Animals'.

If this word is followed by the Sumerian 'Dil(i)/Ullegara' or 'Min/Annegara',
what has been identified in the Mesopotamian cosmogonic text from Aššur,
then we get this complementary precision : 'One/placed Before' and
'Two/placed After' where Ullegara and Annegara indicate respectively 
a first- and a second (genetic) lineage.
 
There are texts on clay tablets in which genetic actions have been mentioned
f.e. with the explicite Sumerian term Siensišár meaning 'where flesh grows'/
'that brings images-clones into the world'/'artificial matrix',
a term which we are able to understand only today.
Ref.: Enki and Ninmah and specifically AO7036, BM12845
or Atrahasîs and specifically K3339 or K7816.

In Hebrew דת [H(e-t)-D(a)] (right-to-left reading), 
ד (numerical value 4) means 'portal' and ת (nv. 8) means 'separateness'.

In Sumerian, the Da means 'closeness' 
and Da5 designates 'impediment', 'assault', 'attack'.
The meaning of He is 'to mix', stir', 'scramble'.
The DaH designates 'multiplication' or also 'say later/word that follows'.

Thus, the Sumerian Da-H(e-t) can be translated as
"[Belligerent] closeness which mixes/scrambles",
"Assault [with the aim] to mix/scramble" or 
"Impediment that shakes [(by) the word that follows]".

Some other translations are quite possible :
"Multiplication of assaults/of obstacles", 
"Subsequent words to scramble/besiege" ...

~~~

In Ancient Greek : θ[ε]ρησκεία


Šér, Šír - 'to shine brightly', Šèr, Šìr - 'to decide' ;  Šir, Šir4 - 'testicles' ;
Sir- 'serpent'
or as Hir - 'produce', 'procreate'.
(Just note the English 'Sir', the French 'Sire/Sieur', 
the German 'Herr' or the Dutch 'Heer' [Lord]).

Re7 - 'to accompany', 'lead', 'bear (a message)'.

[Ε]ρησ : E-Ri-Iš, Ereš - 'noble lady', 'queen'.
Ki-á-á(g̃) - 'territory (Earth) of issuing instructions', 'orders'.
Γ [phonetically close to Kè and the Sumerian Ki] - 'Earth'.
κεί- grammatical stem in the concept '[written] text', 'place', 
the Sum. Ki - 'earth', 'place', 'grain'.

I - 'cry of pain', 'tear', 'capture'.
I7 - 'watercourse'.
A - 'water', 'tears', 'seminal fluid', 'flood', 'father'.


"Brilliant progenitors leading by [their] written orders 
the captured tears [of humans] [...]".

We can optionally but legitimately precise :
"[...] terrestrial humans" or "[...] humans on Earth".
 
~~~ 

The Chinese (Mandarin) term 宗教 [pron. zōng jiáo] = 'religion' 
transliterated into Zu-Ùn/g̃-I-A-U  (the O does not exist in Sumerian)
or Zu-Ùn-Ní-I-A-U.

 
Zu or Sú - 'to teach', 'give instruction' or Su - 'animal hide', 'flesh', 'body', 'naked'.  
Ùn/g̃(á) - 'crowd', 'people'.
Ní - 'fear', 'frightfulness', 'violence' ; 'body'. 
I - 'cry of pain', 'tear', 'capture'.
A - 'water', 'tears', 'seminal fluid', 'flood', 'father'.
Ú - 'to feed', 'food', 'pasture', 'bread'.
Ù - 'to sleep' ; 'lack of discernment'.
U - 'scream', 'fight', 'dispute', 'cries' ; 'conduct', 'steer'.


Possible interpretation through right-to-left reading :
"[What] gives instruction to the captured (and fearful) crowd in tears 
deprived of intelligence".

Possible interpretation through left-to-right reading :
"[What serves as] pasture and, (through) the flood of tears leads the animal hide"

~~~

In Sanskrit', the term मत [pron. mata] has many meanings 
including the concept 'religion' which in our linguistic analysis
seems clearly to be one of the most ambiguous. 


 [Ma] - 'poison', 'magic formula' ; 
'moon', 'time', 'water' ; 'happiness', 'welfare'.
 [Ta] - 'nectar' ;
'wicked/barbarian man', 'dwarf', 'thief', 'warrior' ; 'breast', 'womb'.


Thus, in Sanskrit we are led for example to :
"Welfare [for] barbarians", 
"Water [as food] [for] warriors/thieves", 
"Poison [for/of] breast",
"Nectar-Poison", 
"Happiness or Poison [for/coming from the] womb" etc.


In Sumerian = Ma(5)-Ta :
Ma - 'to bind' ; Ma5 - 'to mill', 'grind', 'burn'.
Ta or Dá - 'nature'.

"[What] ties/binds/crushes the nature".

~~~

In Arabic : دين [pron. Din] = 'religion', 'judgment', 'due', 'debt'
 and in Turkish : Din

In Sumerian :
Din or Tin
or Di-In
Din=Tin - 'to live', 'life', 'wine', 'to cure', therefore : "Life" or "Wine" or "Cure". 
Di or Ti - 'lawsuit', 'judgment', 'verdict', 'decision'.
In - 'straw' and close concept of 'reed' as well as 'futile' or 'feeble' ;
 'he', 'she (=humans)' ; 'insult', 'offense', 'invective' .


"[Written and vital] decisions [for] insulting humans".
"Judgment [for] [feeble] offensive humans".
