Abramelin Posted May 19, 2012 Author #76 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Very well possible. Wishing someone 'heil', or 'behoud' (as in behouden vaart) is virtually the same. No way. It is used as in 'to hold on to something', or 'to keep'. It is not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otharus Posted May 19, 2012 #77 Share Posted May 19, 2012 In thinking more about FLÍ (= to flee, escape, flood), I realised something funny. A relation between the Dutch words 'fluiten' (to whistle, flute) and the pompous word for to fart, 'flatuleren' (from Latin 'flatus' = wind, fart).

Van Gorp Posted May 19, 2012 #78 Share Posted May 19, 2012 The word is Hellinggar and linga is in the Frisian Dictionary - hard to find the meaning but in English, linger means hang out or even stay around - so hel-linggars - would be hill lingerers - people who lingered (lived, stayed) in the hills. Goodnight for now. Because of Ny-Hellenia A little essay (what to prove :-) ?) A-tribute to the word Hel. The cradle of civilisation is said to be Hellas: Hel-As (Helaas! Alas!) AM 2550: This is the period where the Greec civilisation took cradle. Though her beginning is fabulous, not knowing their own true origine. This is even said by the most reliable source Diodorus Siculus. Even Plinius and Cicero did not believe what is generally said about the Greek origine. “Omnis Graecia fabulositas sicut” Schrieck is willing to help a bit in clearing up this age-old misunderstanding :-) Pindarus says as follows: For a right understanding, only 3 words are needed. We will do the same, and with many words that follow, we will disprove the many and blunt fairy tales. We will even prove that the Greeck names are of the origine of the first Skythen, whom they have always known as their closest neighbours. HEL-AS: Decline (lean) – Water HELLES-PONTUS: ‘t gat (ga-uit), het ver-bond (want ver-bind), the bond en the pont between upper and lower sea. Sint-Joris Arm by the Belgen, HEL-ES-BONT by the Skythen who lived their since early time. As and Es are early names for water. Mar-es is the big sea (connected is Moer-As). Amasia is AM-AS: living at the water (Amasones -> Am As Wonen) … end the list cotinues for pages untill the last letter of the Alfabet :-) Concerning Helena: In is of course In :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otharus Posted May 19, 2012 #79 Share Posted May 19, 2012 It is not the same. But ofcourse the words are related. "Houd je taai" "Behouden vaart" Held is also past tense to to hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means nothing but 'be safe'. What has that got to do with anything 'holy'? I will bet someone will come up with 'holt' or 'wood' soon. Trees being sacred and all that. .

Otharus Posted May 19, 2012 #81 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) What has that got to do with anything 'holy'? The dutch word is HEILIG. HELD is used as a benediction in the OLB, like "hail", "heil", "health", "behoud". Etcetera. It couldn't be more obvious. What you should do is browse all different uses in OLB of HELD, HALD and HOLD (control F). Edited May 19, 2012 by Otharus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otharus Posted May 19, 2012 #86 Share Posted May 19, 2012 ... whether there is any archaeology that supports the OLB being factual? There is no good evidence against the manuscript's authenticity. So if it would indeed be a 13th century copy (or a copy there-of), it is most significant. If it was fake (19th century concoction) this should be really easy to prove. That there still is no good proof for that, says enough. And that people did not want to accept it as authentic is understandable, because it could create cultural (political) instability and chaos. The book has anarchistic (and surely anti-religious!) elements. That explains why the discussion has been highly emotional (and therefore irrational) at times.

Good, so nothing HOLY, again. It has to do with PRAISE, honouring someone or BE SAFE. Not sit on your knees and say "Allahu Akbar" or something. LOL a Frisian would never use HULDE in that context because it means "huilde" (cried, wept) Yeah, but this is not real Frisian now, is it?

Otharus Posted May 19, 2012 #92 Share Posted May 19, 2012 As for archaeological evidence: If the manuscript is authentic, it can still be Medieval (partly) fiction. In any case it offers great insights in language and psychology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's connecting apples and melons: both are round. You seriously think that no linguist would see the similarity between HEIL and HEILIG and not mention it? Apparently they had perfectly sane reasons not to make a connection between these words. . Edited May 19, 2012 by Abramelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book has anarchistic (and surely anti-religious!) elements. That explains why the discussion has been highly emotional (and therefore irrational) at times. Well, whether the manuscript is authentic can be validated by the change in the use of language over the timeframe within which it was allegedly written. For example, the book alleges to relate narratives extending from somewhere before 4,000 ybp to approx 1000 ybp, does it not? Then the change in the use of language and syntax over the period of the copied (original?) works should be relatively simple to ascertain - if it is, in fact, a copy (as alleged) of an ancient work. Or is it thought to be a later re-working of more ancient tales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
