[quote]Mallory and Adams give the origin of stick as
*dheigw- (small w) 'stick, set up', wherefrom
Lithuanian diegiu 'prick; plant, sow'. DIG is
therefore compatible, and shows a double
advantage: much simpler, and with a semantic
value, namely the meme of the permutation
groups of DIG and comparative SIG, all in all
a dozen words. Another derivative of DIG is
German zeigen 'to point (with a finger), show',
and a derivative of comparative SIG is English
sign.
Meanwhile the financial crisis (that has also
been triggered by rating agencies) reached
Europe. The biggest Swiss bank, UBS, lost
fourty billion Swiss francs (nearly on a par
with the US dollar). How many innovative
projects could have been supported with
a fraction of that money. But nobody cares
about new ideas in Switzerland. Also the
USA will have to give more credit to innovative
minds in order to get out of the present troubles.
Google company: will you install a feature
that honors people who publish and develop
new ideas in the scientific groups of the

There was a question about oar in Germanic and Greek.
I reply here. Mallory and Adams 2006 (in a simplified
notation): *h2/3ih1os and similar forms, meaning pole,
shaft in Slavic (e.g. Russian voje), Anatolian (Hittite hissa-
'pole, shaft, till for harnessing a draft animal to a cart'),
and Indo-Iranian (Avestan aesa- 'pole-plough, pair of
shafts', Sanskrit isa 'pole, shaft') but has shifted to nautical
terminology in Germanic, e.g. New English 'oar', and
Greek oieion 'tiller, helm, rudderpost'.
Magdalenian offers DOK --- poles used for making a tent
or a hut; Greek dokos for rafter. DOK and *h2/3ih1os
may be compatible, the more so as German Deichsel
'pole, shaft' fits in between. Direct shifts from DOK to the
above words would follow about these outlinings:
dok vok voje
dok dos hos hissa / aesa / isa
dok ok oar / oheion oieion
If so, the big shifts illuminate the progress made in working
on wood from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic and Bronze Age.
English pole, by the way, comes from the compound POL DOK
meaning a fortified settlement (pol, Greek polis) made of poles
(dok), origin of English folk German Volk, hypothetical ancient
name of a woodhenge, then used for the people gathering
there. POL PLO means a fortified dwelling made in the
wattle-and-daub technique (plo, ancient Greek plokos for
wickerwork, texture), then used for the people living in such
a settlement, Old Latin poplo Latin populus Italian popolo
French peuple English people. Also wattle-and-daub walls
require poles, probably made of vertical branches of the
quickly growing poplar tree, Latin populus. English pole
would then just be an abbreviation of POL DOK and POL PLO,
involving a semantic shift, however, one that is well explained.
Sitting at the dock of the bay --- a dock was originally made
with poles (dok) driven into the (sea)ground.
What about Latin docere English teach teacher? We may
assume that an early teacher spoke from a lectern or a
pulpit made of poles called DOK. The root of lectern is
)OG or LOG with a clicking L for the one who has the say,
while pulpit may be a further derivative of POL PLO,
indicating that there was a teaching area in early settlements,
an elevated place made of poles.
Light is both particle and wave. PIE, as it were, understands
words as phonetic 'particles', whereas Magdalenian looks
out for semantic 'waves' and their patterns left in the verbal
morphospace of the Eurasian languages that keep more
information on the past than previously held possible. |

Inspired (or something like that) by the recent discussions of
"second" in English, I looked it up in the OED, which includes the following
comment in the etymology.
OE. had no proper ordinal for the number two (like G. zweite,
Du. tweede, F. deuxième), the sense being expressed by óðer (see
OTHER a.); this being ambiguous, the Fr. word found early
acceptance.
Rummaging through the dictionaries I can find for modern Germanic
languages, I find that Danish has _anden_ for both "second" and
"other"; Swedish has _andra/e_ for "second" and a slightly different
word for "other"; Dutch has _tweede_ ("second") and _anden_ ("other",
sometimes "second"). Finally, German has mainly _zweite_ for "second"
but some uses such as _am anderen Tag_ (on the next day) that look as
if they might be vestiges of a broader use of "ander". But I don>t
have access to any historical or etymological resources for those
languages at the moment.
I suspect that Dutch and German developed their distinct ordinal words
late --- is this correct?
Is there an explanation of why OE "failed" to develop such a word
natively (as German and Dutch have), or why Danish is satisfied with
one word for both senses?
Nevertheless, there is the English word 'twine' (entwine) which is
related to Serbian 'udvajanje' (making one of two) and German zweite
(zweien twos; Serb. dvoje; Germ. Zwillinge twins; Serb. dvojke).
well...yes
English other is related to OSl. въторъ (vtory, utory) and Slavic
'second' (Russ. другой, Serb. drugi, Cz. druhy). In this case, tha
basis of all these words is 'circle' (krug, hring; OSl. крѫгъ). Now we
will see that Slavic drugi (second) and treći (Russ. третий third;
OSl. третии; Gr. τρίτος, Lat. tertius, Goth. þridja) are derived from
the same "associating" primal word (Serb. krug circle; kružok a small
society; therefrom udruženje, udruga (association), drug (friend),
družina (band, company, troop). It means that an "other" (vtory,
drugi /second/) or "others" (tretiy, treći /third/) are necessary for
making a society/community/company (Serb. društvo).
The first half of the first sentence is correct.
OTOH the Slavic prvi (first; OSl. прьвъ) is related to Latin primus (b
=> m sound change) and it comes from the verb probiti (penetrate,
break out, break through), hence the English words probe and prove as
well as Serbian pravo (right, straight, law)...
The first line of this paragraph is correct.
Well done, keep it up!!!

Serbian 'probati' (attempt, try, taste; Russ. пробовать; Pol.
próbować) is clearly related to the verb 'probiti' (penetrate, break
through; Russ. пробить to punch, to hole; Cz. průbojník puncher),
because the one who is "breaking through" must be the FIRST (prime,
Serb. prvi, Russ. первый; Cz. prvni) one to PROBE (Serb. probati
taste) the new "environment". Serbian 'probijati' (Russ. пробивать to
punch, penetrate, break through) is logically related to other Serbian
words as 'pravo' (straight ahead), pravac (direction; Russ.
правление). There is a Serbian adjective 'is-pravno" (correct, right),
which is the same word as ''is-probano (well-tried, checked, PROVED),
with a slight shift in meaning and with the change of the sound [b] to
[v].
Are you so blind that you can>t see the easy perceivable semantic
correspondences among those words? Slavic PRAVDA (justice, right) is a
synonym for the PROVED truth. I can understand people like Harlan,
Brainy or Denials who do not have any knowledge of Slavic; but, you
are a fluent speaker of Czech and you are familiar with other Slavic
tongues and, despite of all your undoubted knowledge, you are still
unable to grasp (at least in outlines) the internal logic of Slavic
vocabulary?

I was thinking of what happens when an English speaker tries to sound

I rather feel "late" (at least in its Dutch and French equivalents, tell me

of the day or lingering in public short term memory. So your example seems
OK to me in this sense.

Because the death of a major celebrity is, by definition, major news,
and thus unlikely to be missed by anyone in touch with any news
medium.
Exactly why "the late" is entirely appropriate!

I never said it was an "analysis of current usage". It is a source of
current convention; and that convention supports describing this guy
as "the late wossisname".
It is not a "source of current convention," and the fact that it is
odd to use "the late" of a celebrity whose recent death was front-page
news everywhere is a fact of current usage.

Are you newly displaying autism, or something? Context alone tells you
that those are movies starring Paul Newman.
None of this argues against the correctness of using "the late" when
speaking or writing about a recently deceased person, famous or
otherwise.
Let that be a warning never to accept anything you say about English
as a legitimate observation.
Yet we are to accept everything you say about English as a "fact"?
How to explain, then, that Google gives 70,000 hits for "the late Paul

Probably anywhere in the world, my country very much included. The
Finnish blogosphere has been full of eulogies to Cool Hand Luke these
days - btw, the film is called "Lannistumaton Luke" ("Luke the
Undaunted" or "Luke the Indomitable") in Finnish.
Regarding the word "late" in this sense, I guess it has something in
common with the Icelandic word "ltinn" as the perfect participle of
the deponent verb "ltast" = to die. Deponent verbs are sometimes used
with the sense of finality in Icelandic: "lta" = to let, "ltast" to die; similarly "anda" = to breathe, "andast" = to cease breathing.
