"THE ROOTS OF THE GREEK LANGUAGE AND THE ORIGIN OF THE ANCIENT GREEK IDIOM OF THE ARIMENIANS (VLAHS)"
"THE GREEK LANGUAGE AS PHOTONOI"
Vivi Mitrou, Philologist - Writer
The Greek language is the highest form of language that the human mind has invented. This conclusion is not arbitrary, but is based on objective criteria that relate to the evaluation of a language. It is scientifically proven that the Greek language, due to its unique and wonderful properties, is of supreme value and an excellent means of development of the human mind.
The Greek language in its timelessness is the only language that is considered conceptual (< λόγος ἐν τῷ νῷ) and semantic (< νοῦς\νοέω-ῶ). Conceptual and semantic is considered a language in which the “σεμαῖνον” i.e. what the word – the verbal type and the “σεμαινόμενον” i.e. what the word expresses (idea, state, thing) have a primary relationship with each other. This means that in the Greek language there is a causal relationship between a word (signifier) and a defined thing (signified), i.e. the word itself denotes its meaning. On the contrary, in semiotic languages, words are conventional and it has been arbitrarily defined that the signified has been agreed to be called that way.
The Greek language is energy (< ἐν τῷ ἔργῳ), it is in perpetual, continuous, creative movement as it produces, creates, gives birth. It is the only language that has this quality, which is why it was, is and will be the one that created science in all its manifestations and continues to be the foundation of all modern sciences. It is therefore rightly and justly considered the mother of languages and the teacher of humanity.
According to Plato's ''Cratylus'', words correctly convey the essence of the thing and its function with the aim of rendering the truth of beings as accurately as possible. (The difference in sounds is not important, as follows from ''Cratylus''. This refers to dialectical changes, as the ancient Greek language, that is, the Greek language in its most ancient dimension, had various dialectal forms based on its dialects. Our ancestors, however, knew the dialectal peculiarities, that is, all the changes within the transitional dialectal stages. )
Socrates in Plato's ''Cratylus'' expresses the view that the original meaning of words is often altered due to the changes that occur over time and that the examination of obsolete linguistic forms and abandoned words can be very important and decisive for discovering the true meaning of current names.
Obsolete linguistic forms and abandoned words are found not only in dialects but also in idioms, which constitute a valuable part of our cultural identity and the spiritual development of our people.
The Greeks are indigenous people with the first name Pelasgians (< Pelasgos: son of Zeus and Niobe, indigenous grandfather of Thessaly), with the second name Graikoi (< Graikos: son of Zeus and Pandora, great-grandson of Pelasgos) and the last name Hellenes (< Ἕλλην: son of Deucalion, son of Prometheus and Clymene, and Pyrrha.)
All Greek tribes originate from the Pelasgians and the language was shaped by the Pelasgians since all dialects had a previous form, Pelasgian.
The linguistic idiom of the Greek Arimenians (Vlachs) is a linguistic idiom of the ancient Greek Mother Language, the Mother of languages. It is a primary ancient Greek linguistic idiom. Therefore, the view about Latin-speaking and Latin-speaking Greeks, as some characterize the Greek Arimenians (Vlachs), is not valid.
I will then document this through linguistic and etymological analyses. This will be followed by a linguistic-etymological analysis of important concepts-words of ancient Greek in correlation with words of the linguistic idiom of the Greek Arimenians, with the aim of proving their Hellenic etymology.
At this point it should be noted that the so-called ''Latin-derived languages'' are Hellenic-derived, that is, dialects of Greek. The ''Latin'' alphabet, which has today become a global asset, is in fact Greek. Specifically, it is the Chalkidian alphabet which the Latins adopted from the colony of Cyme in the 8th/7th century BC in Italy. But even earlier, 60 years before the Trojan War, Evander from Arcadia, together with his mother Nicostrata, founded the city of Palladium and was a settler of the Palatine Hill in ancient Rome, a name that came from the Palladion region of Arcadia, bringing with him the Greek alphabet. According to Strabo, Rome is an Arcadian colony with Evander as its settler.
Additionally, 60 years after the Trojan War, Aeneas, son of Anchises, a Trojan hero from the Dardanian tribe and a relative of the royal family of Troy, went with other Trojans to Italy and founded Lavinium very close to present-day Rome. The great Latin poet Virgil, who wrote the great Roman epic ''Aeneid'', states that Aeneas was an Arcadian by origin (the Arcadians were Dorians like the Trojans).
LINGUISTICAL ANALYSES
1) Language < gnosis (Doric dialect, λ/ν) < gnῶ = I possess knowledge) γι-γνώ-σκω
Taking into account that in the ancient Greek language specific processes occurred during which we have an alternation of vowels or consonants (transposition) in the stem of the word, thus creating various transitional stages without altering its essence, but also an alternation of the order of letters (antitransposition), then the stem γνω – is transformed into γνω- (>γί-γνω-μαι = I become, I am born) by transposition and into γον- (> γονή = birth, parent, woman, etc.) by transposition.
From the above it follows that
a) language/knowledge is a carrier of knowledge
b) language/knowledge contains knowledge and generates knowledge itself. (This is a characteristic and property of the Greek language only).
In the linguistic idiom of the Arimenians the verb ''γιγνώσκω'' is ''κουνοσκ'ου'' (κ->γ/ου->ω/ν-> ν = γνω) and in the Latin language ''cognosco''< γιγνώσκω
2) I think < you + speech / I say
In the linguistic idiom of the Areimenians, "I think" is "I think".
Mindouest'ou < subject mind-+- est/-esk = ἀσκῶ.
Subject: μέντ < μηδ –( μέδομαι = I possess in-depth knowledge > Prometheus, Epimetheus)
(t/d/i), > μῆτις=knowledge -> μῆτις, the mother of the goddess Athena, universal knowledge – wisdom.
Also, in the dialect of the Arimenians, mind = mind, mind and mindoueri = thought
In Latin: mens (mentis) = mind < midomai, mῆtis.
3) The Greek language is SOULFUL (ἐν = within + φυχή) because it constantly gives birth and sets in motion the mind and soul of man.
In the linguistic idiom of the Areimenians, soul = inema < ἄνω + εἶμι = I walk.
In Latin: animus = soul.
4) ἄπ(π)α = liquid element
root ap-< ak-/ag-/ax-(> ἄχα = ὕδωρ, Ἀάιοι, αἶγες = waves) (π/κ -> πῇ = κῇ=πῶς) > aqua (Italian)
ἄπ(π)α > ὀπός = liquid, juice > ὀπόραIn the linguistic idiom of the Areimenians, πόομ'ου = fruit tree > pomum (Latin)
5) In ancient Greek, the liquid element is also indicated by the root pel-/per-/por-.
Root: pel-> Pleiades (with transposition) as the Pleiades ''pelonta''= rotate and sail.
Also, Pleiades -> Peleades (priestesses of the Great Mother Goddess of Zeus at Dodona/Dodonaios Zeus –Naios Zeus (< νάω = ῥέω)).
Pleiades: nymphs, daughters of Pleione, daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. Pleione is the mother of rains.
In the linguistic idiom of the Areimenians, Ploi = mother of rains < Pleioni-Pliioni.
6) Analysis of the place name ''Souli''
a) Souli < Ὁρῶ ( =see, observe) < Fορ –( σ > F > forest)
(the diphthong ''u'' is a dialectal pronunciation of ''o'' and ''ω'')
Therefore, Souli is a visible place, supervised, high - a hill.
Oro > ouros = guard
From the root ορ-( < Fορ-) arise the verbs ὁρμάω-ῶ / ὄρνυμι /ὀρούω which denote the rush, the momentum both at the level of physical bodily movement and at the level of mental strength and vigor.
Therefore, Souli is a place that is rising, a fortress, a fortress, and the people of Souli, having supervision of the place, demonstrated physical and mental drive for their defense.
From the above it follows that Souli as a verbal form and toponym has a Hellenic etymology and in no case an etymology from another language. The meaning of this specific toponym with the meaning of ''fortress'' and ''fortress'' arises only on the basis of a Hellenic etymology.
B) Soul < root sol- (with Aeolic ''o'') > (όλος-οὗλος)
<root syl- (with Arcadian ''υ'')/ (Kymi –Kouma)
< root sal-(with Doric ''a'')/ salana-selana-seleni-selene)
Root σλ-> σερ-(λ/ρ)> Σελλοπία -Ελλοπία (= the wider area of Dodona, Σελλοι-Ελλοι (= the inhabitants of this area and the priests of the Great Mother Goddess and the Dodonaean Zeus in the most ancient oracle of Dodona, the function of which and the worship of the Gods there are antediluvian, before the flood of Deucalion. With Deucalion, the operation of the oracle continued after the flood.)
/ Ser -> Sirius ( s/he ) .
"O Zeus, O Pelasgian of Dodona, the temple of Dodona, the temple of Medes, in the harsh winter, both Sellians who worship you are obliged to be unsteady on their feet."
(Iliad, II 233-236) (Achilles' Invocation to Zeus of Dodonaeus)
Rendering in modern Greek:
"Zeus of Dodona, first ruler, Pelasgian, who, dwelling far away, rules over icy Dodona and around you dwell the Selloi, your own prophets who do not wash their feet and sleep below."
(The Selloi, prophets of Dodonaean Zeus and the Great Mother Goddess, did not wash their feet and slept on the ground in order to come into direct contact with Mother Gaia.)
Root Sol-> Sor – (l /r Doric)
All of the above roots, sol-, sor-, syl-, sal-, sel-, ser- are indicative of sunlight. Therefore, Souli denotes a mountainous, high area and by extension close to the Sun.
In the linguistic idiom of the Areimenians, sori = Sun.
7) ἔπω (=I speak with measure, rhythm, harmony) < σέπω Fεπω > ἔπος = measured speech
In the idiom of the Areimenians, spūn'ou = I say, I testify, I narrate, I reveal.
8) Ἀρειμενιος <ἀρείων < ἄρειος < Ἄρης (=dedicated to the god Ares, therefore most capable, bravest, virtuous) +μένος = soul
From the above, the Pelasgian homoglossia and the Hellenic etymology are presumed. The ancient linguistic idiom of the Areimenians has its roots in the ancient Greek Mother Language.
The foundation of Greek intellect, philosophy and soul is the Greek language, which we must promote and preserve.
