Otharus Posted April 14, 2012 #11052 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I think this translation is wrong, and that it should just be: dutch: stem-geluid english: (sound of the) voice No, at second thought, it must be "stem-leed", literally "voice-grief" (-sorrow or -pain); a hesitating voice, which is like stammering after all. The expression is used two more times, p.158, line 31, and p.159, line 22. LÉTH = leed (suffering, grief, sorrow, pain) is used many times in the OLB.

The Puzzler Posted April 14, 2012 #11053 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) Jesus let himself be nailed to a wooden cross and got stabbed with a spear to finish him off. This is about Odin: The generally accepted meaning of Old Norse Yggdrasill is "Odin's horse". This conclusion is drawn on the basis that drasill means "horse" and Ygg® is one of Odin's many names. The Poetic Edda poem Hávamál describes how Odin sacrificed himself by hanging from a tree, making this tree Odin's gallows. This tree may have been Yggdrasil. Gallows can be called "the horse of the hanged" and therefore Odin's gallows may have developed into the expression "Odin's horse", which then became the name of the tree. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yggdrasil In Rúnatal, a section of the Hávamál, Odin is attributed with discovering the runes. In a sacrifice to himself, the highest of the gods, he was hung from the world tree Yggdrasil for nine days and nights, pierced by his own spear, in order to learn the wisdom that would give him power in the nine worlds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odin Havamal (Words of the High One) (W H Auden & P B Taylor's Translation of The Havamal) (...) Wounded I hung on a wind-swept gallows For nine long nights, Pierced by a spear, pledged to Odhinn, Offered, myself to myself The wisest know not from whence spring The roots of that ancient rood. They gave me no bread, They gave me no mead, I looked down; With a loud cry I took up the runes; from that tree I fell. (...) http://www.odins-gift.com/pclass/havamalauden.htm http://www.sunnyway.com/runes/odins_magic.html http://vikingraiders.yolasite.com/rules-regulations.php http://runichammer.com/index.html (and don't forget to read the whole text...) The cross is probably the tree. Maybe even why the letter t is like a cross. I summised in my Basque thread that the double axe might actually represent the World Tree. The double axe is a t shape as well. The word for knife in Basque is labana, it has the same lab beginning as labrys. A spear is like a knife. I'd believe Odin is some kind of Jesus/Buddha. These swastikas would be before Buddha's time I'd think...

Otharus Posted April 14, 2012 #11054 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Since "Neef Teunis" in the OLB has been one of the main arguments to not take it seriously... In my Old-Greek dictionary (Halberstadt, 1900); translations between {..} added by me: ἀ νεψι ός, ἀ νεψι ά = neef, nicht (broers- of zusterskinderen) {cousin (children of brothers or sisters)} ἀ νεψι άδης, -άδοῦς = zoon van een neef of nicht {son of cousin} ἀ νεψι ότης, -ητος = bloedverwantschap {consanguinity} νέποδες = jongen, nakomelingen {youngs, offspring} My Latin dictionary (Kramers, 1987): nepos = 1. kleinzoon, plur.: afstammelingen, nakomelingen; 2. neef; 3. verkwister {1. grandson, plur. offspring, descendants; 2. cousin; 3. waster} neptis = kleindochter {granddaughter} On the web ( http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%BC%80%CE%BD%CE%B5%CF%88%CE%B9%CF%8C%CF%82 ): ἀνεψιός From Proto-Indo-European *népōts. Cognates include Sanskrit नपात् (napāt), Avestan 𐬥𐬀𐬞𐬁𐬙 (napāt), Latin nepōs, and Old English nefa. a first-cousin, cousin ~ ~ ~ Conclusion: The suggestion made in OLB, that the origin of the name Neptune would be cousin or relative Tunis, is not as absurd as claimed by hoax-believers. In fact, it can hardly mean anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A similar word with different vowel-sounds is used in Ezekiel 32:27 to refer to dead Philistine warriors. Etymology "Nephilim" (נְפִילִים) probably derives from the Hebrew root npl (נָפַל), "to fall" which also includes "to cause to fall" and "to kill, to ruin". The Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon gives the meaning as "giants" Robert Baker Girdlestone argued the word comes from the Hiphil causative stem. Adam Clarke took it as passive, "fallen", "apostates". Ronald Hendel states that it is a passive form "ones who have fallen", equivalent grammatically to paqid "one who is appointed" (i.e. overseer), asir, "one who is bound", (i.e. prisoner) etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephilim "probably"?

Abramelin Posted April 14, 2012 #11057 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Ever heard of "Indo-European"?? There are words in most European languages that are very old. We - Dutch, Belgiums, Brittish, Irish, Germans, French, Slavs, Italians, Greeks, Iranians, Indians, and so on split off from a 'mother' branch. And the origin of IE was somewhere between or north of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only that it has the same meaning; Dutch: "nevelingen"; people from the mist, fog, cloud(s) Rather than "fallen ones", which is not more than a hypothesis, but loads of people base their belief that they were aliens on it ('those who fell from heaven'). And that it makes more sense that they were just tall people from the North (just like the 'giants' and 'gods' of Roman and Greek mythology), than that they were supernatural giants, aliens or sons of god.

And I don't think the European "NFL/NBL" has anything to do with those 'Nephilim'. And then again, what has the Bible to do with what I said?? You come to conclusions about me like you come to conclusions about language... But if there is any connection to Semitic in European languages, it most probably originated with the Phoenicians. .

Otharus Posted April 15, 2012 #11065 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I know that I sometimes need some time to make my point, that what I try to say is not always immediately clear to others. It's not nice when you immediately say that it is "bull", when you don't agree, or don't understand yet. I interpret that as you being anoyed or otherwise negative. But I admit there was some teasing (back) in my reply. Seriously, I don't think the idea that nephil might be related to the word for fog/mist/cloud is nonsense. If you think it is, please explain why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Nephilim' is a Hebrew/Semitic word and is not an Indo-Euopean word. Whoever tries to prove that the European NBL/NVL words originate in some Semitic language forgets Semitic is non-IE. http://www.etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/nevel I believe that through the Phoenicians many Semitic words slipped into European languages, but not that it (or another Semitic language) forms the basis of European languages. = Maybe you have been thinking about the etymologies I posted about 'Nehalennia' of which one was based on Phoenician (nahal + aniah, together forming something like 'to guide boats'). But that was just one etymology: others are based on Celtic, German, and once I even fabricated an 'etymology' based on Finnish ("Maalähelläjään" or "Land near ice", which would once have been an appropriate name for Doggerland). .

PRESTATU - prepare (Basque) /PRESTER - priest What else is a priest than a preparer. Don't bother linking me to priest etymology - I don't buy it. If it is in Greek from elder, one should consider where that came from into Greek - presbus as old man/elder, the elders were prestatu, preparers of the ancient rites, elders in cultures like Aboriginals are naturally the 'priests' - they prepare the rites for everyone else to follow...so, the Greeks just pick it out of the sky? Who had preists? Troy had many of them. The Iliad starts with the introduction of Apollo's priest, Chryses. Big Daddy priest: An alternative view is that pontifex means "preparer of the road", derived from the Etruscan word pont, meaning "road".[3] A minority opinion is that the word is a corruption of a similar-sounding but etymologically unrelated Etruscan word for priest. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontifex_Maximus A PREPARER hey? From some "similar sounding but etymologically unrelated" Etruscan word for priest - I wonder what that word was... But I'll save it for my Basque thread - just wanted to point out my opinion on the word Prester for priest.
