Otharus Posted March 9, 2012 #10626 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Who knows the meaning of ULK ? Check any Oldfrisian dictionary. VLKE, ULKE = wolk (dutch), wolke (german), cloud (english) And ofcourse it does make sense; the priests were creating a supernatural myth about her.

Otharus Posted March 9, 2012 #10627 Share Posted March 9, 2012 generation 14 15 364. Willem van Oranje, stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland and Utrecht *Dillenburg 24.04.1533 +Delft 10.07.1584 15 365. Louise de Coligny *Châtillon-sur-Loing 23.09.1555 +Fontainebleau 13.11.1620 The Dutch national anthem refers to this Willem. It starts with: "Wilhelmus van Nassouwe ben ik, van Duitsen bloed, den Vaderland getrouwe blijf ik tot in den dood." translated: "William of Nassau I am, of German blood, loyal to the fatherland I remain till death." The royals descend at least twice from him. After I posted the long list, I found: 03 849. Sophia Dorothea van de Palts *Den Haag 14.10.1630 +Herrenhausen 08.06.1714 = = = = = = 07 698.

bom shankra Posted March 9, 2012 #10628 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Well, if it's not that interesting then you better go read other threads, right? There are more than enough threads about Atlantis and aliens intervening in ancient cultures and pyramids. Maybe more to your liking? yep your right, and fair go, i deserve a tounge lashing no doubt, though FYI, the only other threads i tend to read on UM recently would be about AE + the great pyramid (so you divined that right). Alien intervention and atlantis is a bit bellow the belt though, nevermind, believe it or not i would actually rather make friends here (i think?), so if your not feeling too superior perhaps you'll forgive the faux pas i've made on my very first comment in UM. like i say i'll take it on the chin; what i should have said perhaps was, on the contrary, there's actually TOO much of interest in this thread; stuff about antiquity, cultures, races, geological events even etymology (which up to now really did/does bore me), etc, etc. The fascinating thing being that its all been generated by a book that is surely a fabrication, but as a thread, it is practically idigestable unless you were following it from the begining,(it's not just the thread lengh, if you read the links too, it triples or quadruples in size). Anyway, at least I had a go, and may come back to it now and then, no hard feelings my man...ok, off to post on some dumb ass fringe thread thats more suited to my itellectual capacity - right.(ha ha, just kidding Abe.)

My post to you wasn't even meant to sound "superior" or anything, I was just amazed your first post in this thread was nothing but "it's not interesting". I could wander around on this site and add that comment to about a 100 topics, lol. And about reading all of it (or not): what I myself sometimes do is just go back a couple of 100 pages and re-read like 10 or 20 pages. You are right: this thread covers many things, and again yes: the etymology is also not much of my thing. But I realize that it is necessary to discuss it; the OLB is supposed to be written in a really ancient language, but is it? I don't think it is.

The Puzzler Posted March 9, 2012 #10631 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I have changed it. It was too small anyway. But in a way it was funny and relevant, I thought, because it shows a bit of Dutch folklore and playing with language and tradition. OLB is seen by some as a hilarious, blasphemic parody too. It was a performance in 1970 near Volendam (NH) by artist Jan Cremer (1940), titled: "Hans Brinker saves Holland by putting his thumb in the Dyke" OK, well maybe I didn't get the joke. I'm not really into 'Benny Hill' humour. People could think it was you and it's really terribly crass, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramelin Posted March 9, 2012 #10632 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Who knows the meaning of ULK ? MS 38, line 03 (P. 54):Thêr thrvch ne thuradon hja nên strid wither an to spinnande.

Ottema translates wolk (cloud), but it makes no sense.I think it was a horn or shell (h-ulk ?) to make one's voice louder as used on ships, so that commands are heard nevertheless the noise of wind and waves. An attribute of Minerva is a flute, which comes close. This flute (vuvuzela) is used by stockmen, shepherds. We meet the sheep in the story of Nyhellenia (= Minerva). The horn (toethoorn) is also used during the Maifest (pag. 130). The problem with Ottema was, that he didn't know about marine terminology, so he asked Cornelis over de Linden to explain marine items.The Halbertsma's used to sail (skutjesilen) on the lakes between Grouw and Sneek. Funny, I read your post and the answer is already in it.... it's a HULK: hulk (n.) O.E. hulc "light, fast ship" (but in M.E. a heavy, unwieldy one), probably from O.Du. hulke and M.L. hulcus, perhaps ultimately from Gk. holkas "merchant ship," lit. "ship that is towed," from helkein "to pull" (from PIE root *selk- "to pull, draw"). http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=hulk&searchmode=none Minerva wasn't sent on a 'cloud'. she was sent overseas with a hulk, a ship.

Abramelin Posted March 9, 2012 #10640 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Yep, picture seems a Holle Aak to me. Sorry to disappoint you, but "aak" has an altogether different etymology. The original word happens to be one that starts with an -N- (like "nako"): http://www.etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/aak1 And I know you will 'love' this: Some people think that the name Nehalennia is derived from the Hebrew words ‘nahal’, meaning to guide and ‘aniah’ meaning ship. This would indicate the meaning to be ‘guide the ship’, i.e. he who guides the ship(s). http://www.neeltjejans.nl/index.php/en/park-info/origin-of-the-name But if the name is indeed of Semitic origin, it is most probably a Phoenician word; the Hebrews were not known to be sailors.

Abramelin Posted March 10, 2012 #10642 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) Yes, she does, the hull. That's because I searched rather quickly and could not find the pic where you only see the prow. But whatever part of the ship is visible, it still is a ship. I had expected at least someone to say that a possible connection with the Greek word "holkas" would be 'another' proof of the OLB... .

Not realy disappointed here -> So good news :-) I really love those 'original' words starting with an 'N' and the 'possibles' in official etymologie. So ape probably comes from nape? From there to the word na-apen!

But I know not every single people/language on earth is a deravation of them. I admit, in that sense I'm a heretic and non-believer.

Whoever in this thread said or even suggested that every single people/language on earth is a derivation of Hebrews/Phoenicians? But people travel and leave words and customs where they stay longer than a day. Most probably you will have no problms with the fact that many Dutch nautical terms ended up in other languages, like English, German, and Russian.
