Oera Linda Book and the Great Flood [Part 2]

[Abramelin]

And into English that is 'fine'.

Originally 'highest quality, end, termination'.

See fine etymology. (Fine and finish)

But the word "fijnen" has a more negative meaning:

http://www.etymologi.../trefwoord/fijn

See: "fyne broederen". It is about very fundamentally religious people, and was a nickname given to them by those who didn't like these people wearing black all day long, not going to movies, quoting from the Bible 24/7 on any occassion, walking around looking down without a real smile on their faces, and so on.

A good translation would be "sanctimonians".

One could think 'divine' was really 'de-fine' 'the finest' - considering it holds a sense of 'excellent'. Vine....? Dionysus - then you could imagine this 'fine brotherhood' being literally 'de-vine/divine brothers' - Brothers of God. fyne broederen.

divine (adj.) c.1300, from Old French devin (12c.), from Latin divinus "of a god," from divus "a god," related to deus "god, deity" (see Zeus). Weakened sense of "excellent" had evolved by late 15c.

divine (v.) "to conjure, to guess," originally "to make out by supernatural insight," mid-14c., from Old French deviner, from Vulgar Latin *devinare, dissimilated from *divinare, from Latin divinus (see divine (adj.)), which also meant "soothsayer." Related: Divined; diviner; divining. Divining rod (or wand) attested from 1650s.

divine (n.) c.1300, "soothsayer," from Old French devin, from Latin divinus (adj.); see divine (adj.). Meaning "ecclesiastic, theologian" is from late 14c.

The word "tex" in the OLB means something like 'law' or 'rules', but is alo sometimes translated as "leer" (Overwijn), "Lehre" (Wirth), or in English meaning, 'teaching'.

From the Etymologyonline site:

teach (v)

Old English tæcan (past tense tæhte, past participle tæht) "to show, point out, declare, demonstrate," also "to give instruction, train, assign, direct; warn; persuade," from Proto-Germanic *taikijan "to show" (cognates: Old High German zihan, German zeihen "to accuse," Gothic ga-teihan "to announce"), from PIE *deik- "to show, point out" (see diction). Related to Old English tacen, tacn "sign, mark" (see token).

Related: Taught; teaching.

The usual sense of Old English tæcan was "show, declare, warn, persuade" (compare German zeigen "to show," from the same root); while the Old English word for "to teach, instruct, guide" was more commonly læran, source of modern learn and lore.

I think that comes close to the meaning of "tex".

[Abramelin]

There's another possibility that the OLB word "tex" is related to an existing ancient word, and that's by metathesis.

From page 33 of

The Frisian Language and Literature: a Historical study.

by W.T. White, 1879

"I. LAWS WRITTEN IN FRISIAN.

These were not composed by the people, but by their judges or representatives, in general assemblies. In content they relate to the most varied domain of law. They contain, like the Lex Frisionum, carefullu detailed statements of the personal rights of individuals and the laws of property with penalties for their violation. The Frisian laws, like the Anglo-Saxon, bear the name domar, judicial decrees also kesta or liudkesta, that is, laws enacted by the popular will (Willküren). Single laws bear the name landriachta (landrechte), or common law of the country"

So I thought, using metathesis: TEX ("teks") = KEST (kesta is the plural of kest).

From where did the late 19th/ early 20th century occultists get the term Fraja?

In German pre-war occultism, the terms Vril-ya and Fraja both played an important role. The similarities with the OLB name Frya (as well as some of OLB's themes) are remarkable.

Fragment about "Vril-ya" from "Walpurgis Night - Volume One 1919-1933" by Thomas Sheridan, (2014):

pp 105-107 (parts made bold and added hyperlinks by me):

In 1871, a novel by a Rosicrucian named

Edward Bulwer-Lytton

entitled,

[

...

]

the Coming Race

, is perhaps the first work of science fiction designed to generate a sense of expectation within readers, in that the storyline itself would eventually come to pass. [...] Influential occult figures such as

Helena Blavatski

and

Rudolf Steiner

, along with other

Theosophists

, claimed that the book's narrative of a master race living inside a hollow earth who possess the power of an energy form which they called Vril was rooted in fact.

In the story, a young adventurer discovers a subterranean civilisation of

angelic Aryan-looking beings called the Vril-ya

. The Vril-ya, who were once human, went to live inside the earth

before the Great Flood

as described in the

Bible

. [...]

[...] the one aspect of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's novel which really captured the imagination of occultists of the time such as the Order of the Templars and

Thule Society

in Germany, was the energy force of the Vril-ya; the "all-permeating fluid" of Vril, which the Ariosophists took to mean

Aryan blood

. A force,

if kept pure and free from being contaminated by other inferior blood races

, could unleash incredible psychic and energetic forces according to the training of one's will. [...] The suggestion is made in the novel that the Vril-ya will eventually return to the surface of the earth if a pure racial Aryan blood group evolves on the surface of the planet, taking with them their awesome magical powers and sharing these powers with the surface

Aryan master race

. The idea so excited members of the Thule Society that they formed a group in Berlin called

Wahrheitsgesellschaft

, or The Society for Truth, which was charged with discovering the power of Vril and using it to create wonder weapons.

Looking into current Frisian - the Fryan concept for tex is probably very similar, as shown - token, proof, sign, seal (sign, mark)

Wise Frya! When she had seen her children reach the seventh generation, she summoned them all to Flyland, and there gave them her Tex, saying, “Let this be your guide, and it can never go ill with you.”

Exalted Frya! When she had thus spoken the earth shook like the sea of Wr-alda. The ground of Flyland sank beneath her feet, the air was dimmed by tears, and when they looked for their mother she was already risen to her watching star; then at length thunder burst from the clouds, and the lightning wrote upon the firmament “Watch!”

Being curious, I checked what word is used in the OLB for English translation 'teach' and it is 'learn'.

Macht ik thêr hwat to dvande, thà skol-ik skrywa, aend alsa fêlo êrsêma toghatera vmbe to lêrane,

If I might add more, I would recommend that all the respectable girls in the towns should be taught

Baern mot maen lêre,

You must teach the children

The usual sense of Old English tæcan was "show, declare, warn, persuade" (compare German zeigen "to show," from the same root); while the Old English word for "to teach, instruct, guide" was more commonly læran, source of modern learn and lore.

So, in Frisian and OLB Fryan we have the word tex and its variants = a token, a sign, to show, proof whereas the term for teach/teacan is the more commonly used 'learan' learn, showing that word TEX is rooted in the forms of token, rather than teach, in the OLB at least.

[Ott]

Both in Greece and in India, important places (region, city) have names that are similar to OLB's TEXLAND (or current Dutch Texel, pronounced "Tessel"):

Greece: Thessaly

Northern India: Taxila

"By some accounts, Taxila was considered to be amongst the earliest universities in the world."

The official etymologies are questionable, imo.

It was the homeland of the FINDA, not the Fins.

I know why you make that mistake, and it is because you read about the OLB, but most certainly not in its original language.

People read online English translations, and we have been posting about all those errors in those translations for 4+ years now.

Please read the link in my former post where I answered you. In that link you will see quotes from the OLB you will not find on other websites.

And wasn't there a Robert Scrutton something, who claimed Altantis was in the North Sea, and that it was the homeland of different races. And all based on his version of the OLB.

He never read it.

At the beginning of the Oera Linda book we are told the creation account of the three races from the same region.

Please give a quote from the OLB.

[Van Gorp]

Some thought concerning the Finda, their governance and name.

Throughout OLB one of the most mentionned adverseries of the Fryas.

Physical, but also in behaviour.

Unlike Fryas born, Finda are depicted as trecherous, false, cunning.

Besides the geographical aspect of where they came from and settled, widespread from East to West, they were for most depicted as ruled by ‘false’ intended priests (presbyters, for-runners, instigators).

Trying to look through the possible racial connotations, one could derive from this the widespread and penetrating force of Finda’s priests in Fryas society not to be connected with a certain race but more connected to the penetrating falsehood in governing bodies, synchronical with the subdued eastern groups and using them as invasional Eastern forces into the West.

Now, like we can see today the penetrating barbarian groups to jepordize free society can be cultivated by less visible ruling forces, not connected with a certain location but possible present wherever they can set foot on ground, using that visible force they dominate to infiltrate consequently new areas which they would like to take the leading position. They use it as a fence (sreen) and 'stormram' to hide their own nature but carry out their agenda.

The word ‘findingrikhêd’ (rich in finding cunning ways) is imo connected with the Finda. The art to deceive -> “veinzen” in Dutch.

When Finda are spoken to have hair like the manes of a horse, one could think of any kind of horse manes, curly, straight, brown, black, long, knotted. One can choose, and I thought long, straight, black hair could be the safest to describe Finda. But then I was thinking: is this really so typical for horse manes? Maybe only long hair? But what does this tell: that people from East (india) coming to Scandinavia were having long hair in contrast with here? I dunno.

What I do know is that horse manes are often used for false beards and wigs. And that in disguising one’s true identiy this is also very usefull. Even bandits, priests, judges (many positions with public exposure) used and still use them.

So when we have Barba-Rossa’s it is not unthinkable that the Ross Beard could be very well the beard of a ross (horse).

Even the Egyptian Finda did it :-)

[The Puzzler]

We have discussed this extensively in march 2012.

textile, technique, etc.

So, the question is then...

Proto-Indo-European *teḱs- (“to plait, woodwork, carpenter”) text

Proto-Indo-European *deyǵ-, *deyḱ- (“to show, instruct, teach”). token

From Middle English token, taken, from Old English tācen (“symbol, sign, signal, mark, indication, suggestion; portent, marvel, wonder, miracle; evidence, proof: standard, banner”), from Proto-Germanic *taikną (“sign, token”), from Proto-Indo-European *deyǵ-, *deyḱ- (“to show, instruct, teach”). Cognate with Scots taiken (“sign, token”), West Frisian teken (“sign, token”), Dutch teken (“sign, symbol, token”), German Zeichen (“sign”), Swedish tecken (“sign, mark, indication, token”), Icelandic tákn, teikn (“sign, symbol”), Latin index (“finger”, literally “pointer”), Ancient Greek δείκνυμι (deíknumi, “show, point out, teach”), Albanian theks (“accent, sign”). More at toe

http://en.wiktionary...wiki/texo#Latin

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/token

Do these actually share the same etymology? with teks and deyk actually being the same root..? I could see plait, woodwork, weave coming from the meaning of show, instruct, since you have to be shown these skills to do them. Other ways and words too - making a mark (of text or on wood) tick and tack=indicators/markers - when you tack fabric, you are marking it for proper sewing, tick, a mark indicating a proof (you saw it or such). Even sounds somewhat like the Tjekker (sea people's name). Maybe it's just me that sees these things...

It must be fiand in Frisian, yes: 6. Jef wi selwa fyanda fâta,

fīand 29, fīund, fī-and, fī-und, afries., M. (nd): nhd. Feind; ne. enemy;

fīandskip 6, fī-and-skip, afries., st. F. (i?): nhd. Feindschaft; ne. hostility;

fiend (n.) Old English feond "enemy, foe," originally present participle of feogan "to hate," from Proto-Germanic *fijand- "hating, hostile" (cognates: Old Frisian fiand "enemy," Old Saxon fiond, Middle Dutch viant, Dutch vijand "enemy," Old Norse fjandi, Old High German fiant, Gothic fijands), from suffixed form of PIE root *pe(i)- "to hurt" (source also of Gothic faian "to blame;" see passion).

As spelling suggests, it was originally the opposite of friend, but the word began to be used in Old English for "Satan" (as the "enemy of mankind"), which shifted its sense to "diabolical person" (early 13c.). The old sense of the word devolved to foe, then to the imported word enemy. For spelling with -ie- see field. Meaning "devotee (of whatever is indicated)," as in dope fiend, is from 1865.

The fiends, the enemy, the foes, the ones who we have hostilities with, with hatred between them. Interesting how the spelling represents the opposite of friend and it appears "Satan" is indeed 'hate' - the enemy Finda and her people.

Wow, good one.

I always somehow connected Lyda with the common people ("lieden", "lui" in Dutch).

But now you mention "to suffer". Why not? "lijden" in dutch is to suffer, to undergo the situation.

"lijden" with "ij" (earlier written as "y", also called long "ei") meaning to suffer, to undergo, have to put with

in contrast with "leiden" (called short "ei") meaning to take the lead, to guide, to be in control

http://www.etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/lijden

I always somehow connected Lyda with the common people ("lieden", "lui" in Dutch).

The word for that in OLB is LJU(D) (where J can be I and U can be V).

[The Puzzler]

The word for that in OLB is LJU(D) (where J can be I and U can be V).

And IMO cannot transfer to the name LYDA.

Do you have an opinion on Lydas name meaning 'suffer'?

I also think the Finda translation as 'fiends' (enemies) is correct.

[The Puzzler]

To clarify, the Finna are named for their formal FINER ceremonies and Findas name and those called Findas folk derive from the FIEND meaning.

Now I also like Lyda as SUFFER meaning, LITHA and it always seemed quite obvious that Frya means FREE. That's what I'm going for all their name meanings.

When Wr-alda gave children to the mothers of mankind,

to find salvation, and to hold salvation to all eternity

but if Wr-alda did not give milk in there

the children would find no advantage;

so that, at the end of the calculation,

Wr-alda alone stays feeder ( * )

( * ) this word later evolved into father, but was initially genderless.
