Runic Riddles: Time Capsules

B.L. Freeborn © December 2022               (PDF version here.)

Runic riddles are riddles written in runes. Runes are alphabets that were in use in northern Europe, Britain and other northern areas. They were used for centuries but died out with the coming of Christianity.

There are a certain group of inscriptions from this period that are either difficult to interpret, very short, have unexplained symbols, use bindrunes (letters stuck together), and/ or are unusual for some reason. Here is an example from Norway (Lomen No. 2; Norges Inscrifter Med De Yngre Runer, Vol.1, Pg. 216) deemed to be a magic incantation. It is simply a riddle. The solution is at the end of the post.

These unusual ones are where the riddles hide. Primarily they were created for amusement, in the same manner as crosswords are today. Besides providing unique puzzles for people to solve, they often contained phrases and ‘secret messages’ that we find strange or incomprehensible today. They are little windows into a bygone era before the cleansing of facts by ‘modern’ teachers, internet myths, and the Catholic church. The latter worked especially hard via genocide and threats to stamp out Paganism. Throw the Black death into the picture which killed half the population of these areas and it is not surprising that the information these riddles reveal seems …. surprising to say the least.

Sadly, the numbers of inscriptions still in existence are declining with each passing year. They were once abundant. Many now only exist in photos. The few remaining tell us something of importance.

Many preserve the concepts of Baal and Paganism. This religion can be traced back 12000 years. The remaining practitioners faced with the power of the Catholic Church found a way to preserve some hints of it in these riddles. Others tell us of extraordinary journeys. They reveal an important part of our lost knowledge.

The following posts bring a few of these riddles to you. Others are available as pdfs at the bottom of the posts.

Hopefully, they are both enjoyable and educational to you.

Solution:

This is called a magic formula – ISTIL form. The number of duplicated runes varies. This one uses triplicates and to match the three makes bindrunes of the six initial runes. The transliteration of the three bindrunes and duplicated runes is RT UÆ KN III SSS TTT III LLL. This is an anagram for ‘stlis’ in Latin which means ‘quarrel’ or ’cause’ and/or ‘tellus’ meaning Earth or region. This implies a ‘global difficulty.’

The three bindrunes and the triplicates suggest 3. This is equal to Th (or D) rune. Simplify and add the Th:    Th    R T U Æ K N    I S T I L. As numbers this is: 3   5 12 2 4 6 8     9 11 12 9 15.

The group ISTIL has four notable values. 9,11,12 sum to 32✓; then 9,15 sum to 24✓; then 12,9,15 sum to 36✓; and the total is 56.✓ All of these numbers are important. (For checked ✓ number meanings see below**. See next table for rune/number equivalents.)

The first group containing the bindrunes has no meaningful sums except for the total with the 3 (Th) included which is 40. A square of sides 40 has 56.56 as a diagonal. This repeats the ISTIL sum. The group does have the significant series 4 6 8 which in reverse is 864.✓

From Wikipedia

There are several elements of the riddle missing. The author and year are often stated and the number 792 (always present) is missing. This is long enough to contain both. Mongé derived the name KanutR from the first six runes. His solution is different than what is presented here. (Landsverk, Ancient…, pg. 127-138) However, by inspection the name Thorniut is found. (The Æ includes the sound O. Also, the I rune can be an E.) The only letter missing is an I and a K is left over. There are two I’s in the last group, so this implies letter sharing. If the K shifts to the last group notice this list of small abbreviated words can be formed: KIL (kill); I TIL (I tell); I LIS (I lies); S (south); I TI LI S (I tie lie South). When taken altogether the following is suggested:

I Thorniut tell. The I tie lies South where it was killed in the global upheaval.

This is a typical Baalist statement including the name of the author but the number 792 is still missing so the solution is incomplete. If Thorniut is converted to numbers as given (without the I) one finds: 3 4 5 8 2 12. Now the following sums are noted: 3,4 sums to 7; then 4,5 sums to 9; then 3,4,5,8 sums to 20 so that we now have 7920.✓

The year would complete the picture. Some indication of the year and three other numbers is sought: the Golden Number (GN), the Day Letter (DL) and the Line #. These numbers are used to find dates on the Perpetual Easter Table (here). A complete discussion of this is found in any of Landsverk’s books listed below.

The letters as bindrunes were anagrammed for a reason so returning to those runes/numbers we have: 5 12 2 4 6 8. These can somewhat change order since there is no way to tell which rune of the bindrune should go first ie. 12 5 4 2 8 6 etc. Note the 1224 looks like a year and in fact, Line # 4 in the attached chart begins with that year. The 4 is present in the series. But year 1224 has GN 9 which is not present in this group. Since 3 is prominently noted by the triplicates, if taken to mean GN 3 then on this 4th line, year 1237 is indicated. It has day letter 4. The sum of this series of numbers is 37 confirming the date.

Other dates for similar reasons can be found. But after much searching 1237 seemed to have the most in its favor. Mongé dated this to 3 March 1199 using just the 3’s. There is good reason to accept his date except that all versions of Istil riddles repeating 3 times would then imply the same date. The reader is free to search for other plausible dates using the attached Easter Table.

I Thorniut tell in the year 1237. The I tie lies South where it was killed in the global upheaval.

Making Words in Indo-European

© 2019 B. L. Freeborn

It has been suggested in prior posts that the alphabet is the basis of the Indo-European Language. The Hebrew Alphabet is one of the oldest alphabets and was used for this study. (See below.) Each letter already had a sound and a number associated to it. In this study a concept was attached. These symbols then comprise the Indo-European language.

To complete the exercise, let us put it to the test by examining some old Anglo-Saxon words and others. Using the concept list at the bottom observe how it may be used with the following words:

Sun… a combination of s-u-n: continuous-ongoing-yet varying. This aptly describes the sun.

From Anglo-Saxon (Old English): nes which means to survive. It is comprised of n-s: varying yet ongoing.

From Old English nest. It is comprised of n-s-t: varying yet ongoing place.

From Old English os means mouth. In Latin it means bone. It is comprised of o-s: ongoing and continuous.

From Greek chaos means abyss. Today it means confusion. It is comprised of ch-a-o-s: changing-source-ongoing-continuous.

From Old English yth means flood. It is comprised of i-th: eye – of greatest importance. Suggesting the source of the flood.

From Old English toss. It is essentially comprised of ts: to harm by tossing.

From Old English ra means to raid. Comprised of r: explosion/spreading.

From Old English raesc meaning shower. It is comprised of r-sh: explosion/spreading – of the smallest.

Compare to ras meaning to search out. Today it means erase. Comprised of r-z: explosion/spreading – sever.

Compare to raes meaning to rush, attack. Comprised of r-s: explosion/spreading – continuous.

From Old English sar means sore. Comprised of z – r: sever – spread.

From Old English seare means cunning. Comprised of s-r: continuous – spreading.

From Old English net. Comprised of n-t: varying – places of union/ties.

From Old English mag meaning may. Comprised of m-A: more – allowed.

From Old English ag means to gain or take. Comprised of a-g: source-action.

From Old English ah means to gain or take. Comprised of a-h: source-on high.

Now examine the word magnet. Note the contraction of may-ag-net as defined above.

From Old English thoth means yet, that, then at that time. Comprised of th-th: important-extreme.

From Greek tessarace means summit of a four sided tetrahedron. Note the contraction of toss-seare-raes or tossing that continued from an attack.

And the last word for the day…

The seventh word in the Torah (in Latin letters) is ts-r-ea-h which means in Hebrew (when read left to right) the Earth. Note the contraction of toss-seare-ra-ah or a tossing that continued as it raided and gained control.

This all leaves one very much to consider……..!

Significant ideas of the Indo-European Language:

‘a’ source, ‘b’ to be bisected, ‘g’ action, rotation,

Key to the Hebrew Letters and the Latin Letter that will serve to substitute for it in this study due to font issues.

‘d’ a division or state,‘h’ on high, ‘u’,’o’,’wf’ ongoing,

‘z’ to sever, severeness, ‘ch’ to change,

‘t’ a place of union, linear action, ‘I’,’y’ the eye or center,

‘k’ the impact crater and its properties,

‘L’ to lie where it fell, to lay out, to be in a line,

‘m’ more, might, measure of, ‘n’ negation, to reverse in direction yet continue,

‘s’ continuous state of being, unbroken, ‘A’ assigned, custom law,

‘p’ power in the small or great, ‘ts’ to harm by tossing, teasing, twisting, action that harms,

‘q’ magnetic pole and force,

‘r’ behavior of an explosion,

‘sh’ becoming infinitely small or transparent, ephemeral

and ‘th’ denotes importance and order of events.

The Indo-European Language in Summary

© 2019 B. L. Freeborn

It was suggested previously that the alphabet as preserved in the Hebrew Script represents the original Indo-European Language and that each letter represents a sound, number and idea.

David Sacks, author of the excellent work on the alphabet “Letter Perfect: The Marvelous History of out Alphabet from A to Z”, would not approve of anything written here. He relates that the letters were created to describe objects such as houses, sticks, monkeys, mouths and eyes etc.

What has been proposed in these posts and reiterated below is the idea the alphabet was developed to describe physical principles such as continuity, points, and negation. This is the vocabulary of scientists. Their need to relate their discoveries and preserve the history of the apocalypse drove the development of this sound/number/symbol system and resulted in a language that spread from one scientific mind to the next until it was well….. pretty much known world-wide. We find it in its most basic form in Anglo-Saxon (Old English) and in its advanced and far distant forms in such places as Japan and Canada.

From Anglo-Saxon: toss and name (meaning ‘to take possession’);

compare from Japanese: tsunami  (meaning ‘a wave that tosses and takes’).

From Anglo-Saxon: ness (headland), top and pock;

compare to the name in the native language of Hudson Bay:  Nastopoka Arc.

Here is a summary of the significant ideas of the Indo-European Language:

‘a’ source, ‘b’ to be bisected, ‘g’ action, rotation,

‘d’ a division or state,‘h’ on high, ‘wf’ ongoing,

‘z’ to sever, severeness, ‘ch’ to change,

‘t’ a place of union, linear action, ‘I’ the eye or center,

‘k’ the impact crater and its properties,

‘L’ to lie where it fell, to lay out, to be in a line,

‘m’ more, might, measure of, ‘n’ negation, to reverse in direction yet continue,

‘s’ continuous state of being, unbroken, ‘A’ assigned, custom law,

‘p’ power in the small or great, ‘ts’ to harm by tossing, teasing, twisting, action that harms,

‘q’ magnetic pole and force,

‘r’ behavior of an explosion,

‘sh’ becoming infinitely small or transparent, ephemeral

and ‘th’ denotes importance and order of events.

Key to the Hebrew Letters and the Latin Letter that will serve to substitute for it in this study due to font issues.

Before this topic is concluded, let us use the above to look at a few interesting words.

Another Secret Hidden in the Hebrew Alphabet

© 2019 B. L. Freeborn

It was suggested previously that the alphabet as preserved in the Hebrew Script represents the original Indo-European Language and that each letter represents a sound, number and idea.

In the last posts ea, b, g; d, h, wf, z, ch, t; I k, L; m, n, s; A, p, ts; q, r, sh and th were examined.

Consider that the sounds may have been assigned to the numbers to preserve a specific message. Then each time the alphabet was read certain words were spoken.

Does a-b-g-d-h-u-z-ch-t-i-k-l-m-n-s-a-p-ts-q-r-sh-th say something?

It is suggested that it did originally tell a specific story. This is why the letters k, l, m, n have maintained their order as they were transferred into various alphabets. The meaning of the words as they are found in this series was stated at the end of each post. All the words are gathered together below in order.

Does it say….

It ebbed as it was done in a big way. It wandered as it was divided and somehow it was driven away. The warriors chattered at the tie. Increasingly it was killed and lamed. Yet men survived. The story repeated as it put it here and tossed it. It tossed the magnetic pole into a quern as it rushed the sheath.

ea-b or aeb = ebb;

b-g or beg = to do, care for, used today in the phrase “that is very big of you”;

g-d or gad (wandering in lack)

d-h or dah = division, partial

h-wf or hu = how, hwy = why

wf-z or fys = feeze, drive away

z-ch or secg = ‘sedge’, reed, sword, warrior

Key to the Hebrew Letters and the Latin Letter that will serve to substitute for it in this study due to font issues.

ch-t or ‘chette’ = chatter from raescettan = crackle, creak;

t-i or tieg = to tie, bind;

i-k or iec = increase;

k-l or cyll = skin, kill

l-m or lama = cripple, lay;

m-n or man = mankind, force, troop;

n-s or nes = escape, survive

s-A or seg = say, story;

A-p or apa = repeat, manifest;

p-ts or put-toss.

ts-q or toss – cue;

q-r or cweorn = quern; queer = unusual state

r-sh or raesc = shower, raesc = vibrate, quiver;

sh-th or sceath = sheath, covering.

Indo-European: In the Simplest Terms

© 2019 B. L. Freeborn

It was suggested previously that the alphabet as preserved in the Hebrew Script represents the original Indo-European Language and that each letter represents a sound, number and idea.

In the last posts ea, b, g; d, h, wf; z, ch, t; I, k, L; m, n, s; A, p and ts were studied. In this post the last of the letters: q, r, sh and th are examined.

They represent numbers 100, 200, 300 and 400 respectively. The Hebrew Letters are as seen in the image below.

The ‘q’ sound represents the number 100. When pronounced as ‘cue or queue’ it reveals itself. It suggests what happens next or lining up. The word quintessence means the fifth essence or element. The other elements are air, fire, earth, and water. What element exists that is not listed here? Magnetism and it has the ability to make things cue up.

Consider that it suggests the idea: magnetic pole and force.

The next letter ‘r’ has value 200. We find it used in such common words as rush, roar, ray, rage and rake. As before in its related terms 20 and 2 we have a doubling here. It repeats the idea that two comets raged and raked or exploded as they struck.

Consider it suggests the idea: behavior of an explosion.

The next letter provides the sound ‘sh’. It has value 300. We see it used in such words as shim, shimmer, show, shoe, and shy.

Consider that it suggests the idea: becoming infinitely small or transparent, ephemeral.

The last letter provides the sound ‘th’. It has value 400. Numerically this an extraordinary number. It is the ratio between the distances of the Moon and Earth; and Sun and Earth; and their diameters. As a sound, it must be one of the most frequently used in modern English. It is essentially ‘the’ and found in this, that, then, there, thus, thing etc. At one time there was even a second form of the word spelled ‘tha’ which meant then, at that time. We use it to give words importance. Get the book not a book.

Consider that it suggests the idea: denotes importance and order of events.

Key to the Hebrew Letters and the Latin Letter that will serve to substitute for it in this study due to font issues.

From Anglo-Saxon note these examples using these letters:

cwys = bruise, cwec = quicken, cwel = quell;

ra = ran, robbery, ryhe = blanket, rec = to govern;

shy = shoe, foundation, scyg = to shoe, sceaw = show;

theg = to serve, thy = thy, the, after, theb = thief, thaw = thaw.

Note the meaning of the words as they are found in series as provided by the alphabet. Continuing where we left off:

ts-q or toss – cue;

q-r or cweorn = quern, queer = unusual state;

r-sh or raesc = shower, raesc = vibrate, quiver;

sh-th or sceath = sheath, covering.

Before we had these significant ideas: ‘a’ source, ‘b’ to be bisected, ‘g’ action, rotation, ‘d’ a division or state,‘h’ on high, ‘wf’ ongoing, ‘z’ to sever, severeness, ‘ch’ to change, ‘t’ a place of union, linear action, ‘I’ the eye or center, ‘k’ the impact crater and its properties, ‘L’ to lie where it fell, to lay out, to be in a line, ‘m’ more, might, measure of, ‘n’ negation, to reverse in direction yet continue, ‘s’ continuous state of being, unbroken, ‘A’ assigned, custom law, ‘p’ power in the small or great, and ‘ts’ to harm by tossing, teasing, twisting, action that harms. Each is represented by a short sound.

Now we have these ideas: ‘q’ magnetic pole and force, ‘r’ behavior of an explosion, ‘sh’ becoming infinitely small or transparent, ephemeral and ‘th’ denotes importance and order of events.

In the Indo-European Language: Letters Hold the Power

© 2019 B. L. Freeborn

It was suggested previously that the alphabet as preserved in the Hebrew Script represents the original Indo-European Language and that each letter represents a sound, number and idea.

In the last posts ea, b, g; d, h, wf; z, ch, t; i, k, L; m, n and s were studied. In this post A, p, and ts are examined.

They represent numbers 70, 80 and 90 respectively. The Hebrew Letters are as seen in the image below.

It is suggested the ‘long A’ sound represents the number seventy. This number is of importance when measuring longitude. The distance between each degree is 69.2 miles at the equator. From the pole down it creates a wedge shape which is reflected in both the Latin and Hebrew letter form. Notably in Anglo-Saxon ae meant law, custom.

Consider that it suggests the idea: assigned, custom, law.

The next letter ‘p’ has value 80. We find it used in such common words as point, place, plane and power.

Consider it suggests the idea: power in the small or great.

The next letter provides the sound ‘ts’. It has value 90. Numerically this is an important number. The pole lies at 90 degrees and this is the place where the story of Baal plays out. The comet struck here at the tessarace. (A tessarace is the summit of a tetrahedron or four-sided figure with top and bottom like the Great Pyramid.)

Consider that it suggests the idea: to harm by tossing, teasing, twisting, action that harms.

Key to the Hebrew Letters and the Latin Letter that will serve to substitute for it in this study due to font issues.

From Anglo-Saxon note these examples using these letters:

At = at, awa = world without end, aetys = present, attest, al = fire, burning;

pa = father, pohha = pocket, pawa = peacock;

teosu = harm, injure, tosaw = strew, scatter.

Note the meaning of the words as they are found in the series as provided by the alphabet’s order. Continuing where we left off:

s-A or seg = say, story;

A-p or apa = repeat, manifest;

p-ts or put-toss.

Before we had these significant ideas: ‘a’ source, ‘b’ to be bisected, ‘g’ action, rotation, ‘d’ a division or state,‘h’ on high, ‘wf’ ongoing, ‘z’ to sever, severeness, ‘ch’ to change, ‘t’ a place of union, linear action, ‘I’ the eye or center, ‘k’ the impact crater and its properties, ‘L’ to lie where it fell, to lay out, to be in a line, ‘m’ more, might, measure of, ‘n’ negation, to reverse in direction yet continue, and ‘s’ continuous state of being, unbroken. Each is represented by a short sound.

Now we have these ideas: ‘A’ assigned, custom law, ‘p’ power in the small or great, and ‘ts’ to harm by tossing, teasing, twisting, action that harms.

The Indo-European Language: More Numbers and Ideas

© 2019 B. L. Freeborn

It was suggested previously that the alphabet as preserved in the Hebrew Script represents the original Indo-European Language and that each letter represents a sound, number and idea.

In the last posts ea, b, g; d, h, wf; z, ch, t; I, k and L were studied. In this post m, n and s are examined.

They represent numbers 40, 50 and 60 respectively. The Hebrew Letters are as seen in the image below. Now the Hebrew script shows it has something in common with other alphabets such as Latin, Greek and Cyrillic. The letter order of k, l, m, n is consistent in all of these alphabets.

The ‘m’ sound represents the number forty. Biblically this is an important number. The flood lasted 40 days and nights. Moses wandered in the wilderness for 40 years etc. Consider that a square of sides of 40 has a diameter of 56.56 and this is that all important number that only the initiates could see. It conceals the most important measure. Note that the word measure is two words ma and sure. The first means more and the latter suggests we will be sure of it if we measure.

Consider that it suggests the idea: more, might, measure of.

The next letter ‘n’ has value 50. It too has unique properties. It suggests halves as in 50-50. Its original letter form was a down, up, down stroke similar to the modern form with the up then down. The letter suggests it is something that reverses.

Consider it suggests the idea: negation, to reverse in direction yet continue. We find it used in such common words as no, negate, next and nigh.

The next letter provides the sound ‘s’. It has value 60. Like its counterpart 6, it suggests time. In this case time is measured in increments of 60 seconds and minutes. The form of the Hebrew letter is a circle and circles suggest ongoing cycles.

Consider that it suggests the idea: continuous state of being, unbroken.

Key to the Hebrew Letters and the Latin Letter that will serve to substitute for it in this study due to font issues.

From Anglo-Saxon note these examples using these letters:

ma = more, maeg = may, male kinsman, mah = evil;

ne = no, not equal, nag = not to own, neah = almost, lately, finally;

sae = sea, se = thus, seow = sew, bring to fruition.

Note the meaning of the words as they are found in the series as provided by the alphabet’s order. Continuing where we left off:

l-m or lama = cripple, lay;

m-n or man = mankind, force, troop;

n-s or nes = escape, survive.

Before we had these significant ideas: ‘a’ source, ‘b’ to be bisected, ‘g’ action, rotation, ‘d’ a division or state,‘h’ on high, ‘wf’ ongoing, ‘z’ to sever, severeness, ‘ch’ to change, ‘t’ a place of union, linear action, ‘I’ the eye or center, ‘k’ the impact crater and its properties, and ‘L’ to lie where it fell, to lay out, to be in a line. Each is represented by a short sound.

Now we have these ideas: ‘m’ more, might, measure of, ‘n’ negation, to reverse in direction yet continue, and ‘s’ continuous state of being, unbroken.

Indo-European as a Language is Laid Out

© 2019 B. L. Freeborn

It was suggested previously that the alphabet as preserved in the Hebrew Script represents the original Indo-European Language and that each letter represents a sound, number and idea.

In the last posts ea, b, g; d, h, wf; z, ch and t were studied. In this post I, k and L are examined.

They represent numbers 10, 20 and 30 respectively. The Hebrew Letters are as seen in the image below. Now the numbers count out the tens.

It is suggested the ‘I’ or ‘y’ sound represents the number ten. Each time a number is multiplied by ten it moves one place to the left and a zero or place holder is added to the right if no other digit (1, 2, 3…) is used. Similarly, division by ten moves the number to the right. Essentially, this is the number all the other numbers are centered around.

Consider that it suggests the idea: the eye or center.

The next letter ‘K’ has value 20. It is twice 10. The double is important here. Recall that it has been suggested this language was invented to transmit the ideas of the Baalists. Central to this is the idea that two comets struck the planet simultaneously. That idea is embodied in this number. The Latin K takes the form of the Phoenician letter for ‘ea.’ Turn it on its side and the idea of a sharp object impacting with a surface is depicted. In the Hebrew forms we see perhaps a precipitous cliff and crater.

Consider it suggests the idea: the impact crater and its properties. We find it used in such common words as crater, cave, cause and collide.

The next letter provides the sound ‘L’. It has value 30. Thirty correlates well with the idea of measurement. Thirty feet is 360 inches. The circle is measured in 360 degrees. A double hour of longitude is 30 degrees etc.  All of which suggest the ordering of things. We find it in such common words as to lie, to lay, land and line.

Consider that it suggests the idea: to lie where it fell, to lay out, to be in a line.

Key to the Hebrew Letters and the Latin Letter that will serve to substitute for it in this study due to font issues.

From Anglo-Saxon note these examples using these letters:

eage = eye, iu = geo, formerly, yb = ymbe = around, at, upon;

caeg = key, essence, caeg = object or place, ceahhe = dawn;

lea = piece of ground, lieg = to lie, at rest, leg = lieg = flame.

Note the meaning of the words as they are found in the series as provided by the alphabet’s order. Continuing where we left off:

t-i or tieg = to tie, bind;

i-k or iec = increase;

k-l or cyll = skin, kill.

Before we had these significant ideas: ‘a’ source, ‘b’ to be bisected, ‘g’ action, rotation, ‘d’ a division or state,‘h’ on high, ‘wf’ ongoing, ‘z’ to sever, severeness, ‘ch’ to change, and ‘t’ a place of union, linear action. Each is represented by a short sound.

Now we have these ideas: ‘I’ the eye or center, ‘k’ the impact crater and its properties, and ‘L’ to lie where it fell, to lay out, to be in a line.

It was suggested previously that the alphabet as preserved in the Hebrew Script represents the original Indo-European Language and that each letter represents a sound, number and idea.

In the last posts ea, b, g ; d, h, wf were studied. In this post z, ch and t are examined.

They represent numbers 7, 8 and 9 respectively. The Hebrew Letters are as seen in the image below.

The ‘z’ sound represents the number seven. It separates the days into weeks. It was used historically in other ways such as the jubilee which was the fiftieth year following 7 x 7 years.

Consider that it suggests the idea: to sever and severeness.

The next letter ‘ch’ has value 8. Numerically it can be associated with 2 x 2 x 2,

or 2 + 2 + 2 + 2, or a number which grows incrementally.

Consider it suggests the idea: to change. We find it used in such common words as chatter, chemistry and chew.

The next letter ‘t’ has value 9. It is the last number before 10 and in base 10 (the system we use) it is the highest digit before the numbers repeat again. It is a stopping point, a tie, not a division as in ‘d’.

Consider that it suggests the idea: a place of union, linear action.

Key to the Hebrew Letters and the Latin Letter that will serve to substitute for it in this study due to font issues.

From Anglo-Saxon note these examples using these letters:

sa = bucket, sig = to sink (sun), syfre = sober;

cheow = to chew; che = change, shift, cine = chine, fissure;

tieg = tie, bind, ta = rod, spread, toe, tima = time.

Note the meaning of the words as they are found in series as provided by the alphabet’s order. Continuing where we left off:

wf-z or fys = feeze, drive away

z-ch or secg = ‘sedge’, reed, sword, warrior

ch-t or ‘chette’ = chatter from raescettan = crackle, creak.

Before we had these significant ideas: ‘a’ source, ‘b’ to be bisected, ‘g’ action, rotation, ‘d’ a division or state,‘h’ on high, and ‘wf’ ongoing. Each is represented by a short sound.

Now we have these ideas: ‘z’ to sever, severeness, ‘ch’ to change, and ‘t’ a place of union, linear action.

The Indo-European Language Continues

It was suggested previously that the alphabet as preserved in the Hebrew Script represents the original Indo-European Language and that each letter represents a sound, number and idea.

In the last post ea, b, g were studied. In this post d, h, and wf are examined.

They represent numbers 4, 5 and 6 respectively. The Hebrew Letters are as seen in the image below.

Notice how the ‘d’ in Hebrew looks like a right angle. As number four it is the first number with a whole number even square root (2 x 2 = 4). Four is the number of sides of a square. It requires an abrupt change in direction to make a square, a 90 degree angle. A polygon is a closed figure. The letter’s forerunner in the Phoenician language was a triangle. The first possible polygon.

Consider that it suggests the idea: a complete division, a final state.

The next letter ‘h’ has value 5. Numerically it can be associated with the golden ratio or phi in this way: (√5 + 1) / 2. The golden ratio is related to growth and life.

Consider it suggests the idea: high, the heights.

It is suggested the sixth letter provides the sounds f, o, u and w. This was perhaps a single sound at one time such as foe. It has value 6. It is the first number whose inverse is infinite and presents an infinite series of 6.

1 / 6 = .1666666….

Consider that it suggests the idea: variation, a state of ongoing change or continuation, infinite.

Key to the Hebrew Letters and the Latin Letter that will serve to substitute for it in this study due to font issues.

From Anglo-Saxon note these examples using these letters:

daeg = day, die = die, dead = dead;

hea = heah = high;

wea = woe, misfortune, fa = foe, hostile,

of = of, off, from, away.

Note the meaning of the words as they are found in the series as provided by the alphabet’s order. We continue where we left off:

g-d or gad (wandering in lack)

d-h or dah = division, partial

h-wf or hu = how, hwy = why

Before we had these significant ideas: ‘a’ source,  ‘b’ to be bisected, ‘g’ action, rotation. Each is represented by a short sound.

Now we have these ideas: ‘d’ a division or state, ‘h’ on high, and ‘wf’ ongoing.
