Typographics

Among the various tasks facilitated for the development of a functional reconstruction of P.I.E. there is the subject of typography. This is how the reconstructed speech will be represented in physical form, that is, in writing.

What we have at hand is an enormous wealth of alphabetic symbols that draw from the days of Sumeria, which have evolved alongside language even as it has split into its very distinct subgroups. The first option here is to represent the language with the Latin alphabet, for the following reason of convenience. Typing in the Latin alphabet is something usual and accessible to all the Western world, and it wouldn't require the speakers to learn a new alphabet, since they can already read the Latin one. The Latin alphabet also could represent most of the sounds in the P.I.E. language. Another reason is that there would be no need to expend time and effort to create a new alphabet.

However, since the Latin alphabet has evolved alongside the languages of Europe, it is obvious that the degeneration inherit in our modern tongue has necessarily over time forced the Latin alphabet to change with it, resulting in the fact that many Indo-Aryan sounds are either not represented in the alphabet or that our present alphabet has too many letters that, in the past, would have represented only one sound. This is a large issue especially in the area of declension, and while this may be only a matter of insignificant choice, when we add the aesthetic appeal that we should strive to attain in the alphabet, in order to synchronize with the mind's harmony to the fullest extent, it becomes a real issue. An example already of this divergence in alphabets was the difference in Latin and Greek declension-suffixes. Latin ended the standard word with -us, while Greek ended it with -os, even though they represented the same initial sound. The difference in spelling came about when the languages began to split and differ in pronunciation, therefore molding the alphabetical representation to fit the relative sounds of the modern language of the time.

In this blog, we've been using the common -os suffix (Aros, Namos) as a default declension-suffix because of its wide-spread popularity with other P.I.E. reconstructionists. However, the question is: is this the ultimate aesthetic appeal? We believe it may echo too much of a Greek spelling. The official usage of -os would also imply that "o" strictly represents the sound of the P.I.E. suffix, which may strangle the representation of the true P.I.E. O.

Some alternatives to -os include -us, -is, -as, -es or -ys even. Our current conjecture is that -ys would be of the greatest benefit, since it carries no previous connotation, has never been used to represent this suffix, and has an element of uniqueness. The Y in -ys would be pronounced like the Greek Upsilon, which is similar to the modern German letter Ü. Therefore, Aros would become Arys and Namos would become Namys.

Another possibility would be to not use the Latin alphabet or instead use some other form of writing. This script could be specifically engineered to represent each special sound of the P.I.E. language, and it would probably be derived in style from the Phoenician-style alphabets. Another source for deriving a special alphabet would be to actually go back to the actual hieroglyphic alphabet used by the Indo-Aryans to write their language, though this is tricky because not much evidence is left that would give us hints of what the ancient symbols actually represented. Since the modern alphabet is derived from the old hieroglyphs, its possible to simply attempt to trace which forms each modern letter came from, and if psychonautic science becomes developed enough, we could activate a similar state of mind believed to have been recorded in the myth of Odin's suicide. This means the rediscovery of the old symbols via immersion into the "netherworld" through the subconscious, in a state similar to a coma, in order to find the original symbols (runes) of the Indo-Aryan alphabet and then implement them.

Remnants of past writing systems, which had been lost to us before their unearthing, also offer possible alternatives to devising a functional P.I.E. alphabet. In particular, there is a script dubbed Old Vinca, which may in fact be a preserved form of a pure P.I.E. hieroglyphic alphabet. The symbols are representative both of common objects and animals and sounds used in the language. Sites all over Europe have excavated similar runic inscriptions.

More information on Old Vinca can be found here: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/vinca.htm

In all, for now a simple rendering with the current Latin alphabet suits our purposes. As for the future, no drastic projects are planned yet to construct or reconstruct a script for the reconstructed P.I.E. language, although these thoughts should be kept in mind...

Namos - The Name

One of the most easily visible cognates between all Indo-European languages. The concept of namos is pretty self-explanatory. As a simple label, it means a name, the name of someone or the name of something; often times it has the same connotation as word does in our modern tongue, that is, a certain repetition of sounds that represent a specific concept to the Indo-Aryan mind. The meaning of the concept, then, was tied into the very word itself by means of the name.

A P.I.E. verb, "nimo", relates very closely to namos. It means "to take one's due", or to assert one's place, and this transferred to the word nehmen which in German means simply "to take". (The English cognate is the outdated term nim, which also means to take). Indeed, to bear a name is to take on a label, and therefore an existence in the human world. With a name, a thing can come into existence, it can be known and spoken of, and therefore anything that had a name, or rather took a name, also took hold of the state of a definite existence which was applicable to language. Names supported the entire system with which the Indo-Aryans identified the world and themselves, and also founded the basis of communication between them, which is evident in today's languages.

In many subsequent Indo-European cultures, the names of people proved to be a very significant ordeal. Often times people or gods would have many names. For gods, these usually included epithets to honor the gods or specific titles that were in some way descriptive of the god's nature. People's names usually related to their family's origins and the place that they were born in. For warriors, sometimes names came from the victories that they achieved or places that they conquered.

From the very beginning, personal names were indicative titles that bore meaning. These were in some way significant to the name's bearer and may have had a deeper but misunderstood relationship in the ancient Indo-Aryan religion.

One must also not deny the stark similarity between the root namos and the root numos, which may have meant "number", implying that both names and numbers originated from the very same metaphysical concept. The original word behind numos, which was nemo, was a verb meaning "to divide", which fits perfectly with the concept of numbers. However, with the implications of namos having a similar origin, one could speculate that the word for "name" was originally a term originating from the concept of division. The naming of things meant to discriminate between the various forms in the world, and thus to divide the world into separate nameable parts. This may have had metaphysical or religious significance as well, as it implies an original totality of the universe, that is, a unified, holistic unity (the monad) from which the cosmos was divided according to each number, and therefore was divided into the separate nameable parts that we have today, the various forms which inhabit the universe. These proto-gnostic musings hint at the cosmological nature of the Aryan religion, which until recently scientists have seen as dealing only with the gods of the earth and physical nature (like the elements of fire, earth, etc.)

If we go further to bridge the gap between sound differences, the root nonos, meaning "nine", could possibly also have originated from the same concept of namos. As you know, the ancient Norse religion had nine worlds, and the number nine is seen in all ancient Indo-Aryan cultures as the end of the cyclical numerical system, since it started over at ten when a zero was added as a place holder. Being cyclical in nature, nine thus became the point at which both the numerical system ended and began again - a symbol of infinite unity and eternal continuance as well as the cyclical nature of all quantitative fluctuations, such as time and space. Representing the point at which a circle both ends and begins anew, the number nine as a whole represents the circle of the monad as well, or the number One. While One is the whole and the all, Nine is the specific point at which time begins and ends, that point of identical similarity which repeats itself endlessly along the line, and therefore exists both infinitely and not at all as the transition of time. Nonos is also associated with the root newos or nowos, which means "new", further implying Nine's role as both the end and the "new" and fresh beginning.

Namos is a word which relates to many things. Its relations stretch far and wide and harbor vast numbers of senses of meanings which, if one divides and names them, can be drawn out into several specific concepts that more or less have cognates in all modern-day Indo-European languages. Namos is the name of the thing, the bridge between idea and form, existence and recognition, and affirms the existence of something in our minds.

Aros - Nobility

The main method of exacting ancient Indo-Aryan roots is a process of reverse engineering those singular roots which we see spread across all of the Indo-Aryan languages; we see these most commonly in the basest elements of language, such as pronouns, declension systems, prepositions and common nouns that all have a common original root. One such root is the one corresponding with the English word "Aryan", perhaps one of the first recognized cognates of the original Sanskrit linguistic roots with those in Europe and elsewhere; in effect, breaching the gap between India and Europe and making Sanskrit one of the most distant languages to have been descended from the primordial Aryan tongue. Discoverers of this thus called the primordial language "Aryan" since the Sanskrit word "Arya" had immediately recognizable cognates in all other Indo-European languages. This furthered the study of the primordial Aryan tongue and brought it into the mainstream of linguistic research.

But what does this word mean, Aryan? The root I will reconstruct as Aros, and in all tongues its base meaning is "noble", "high", and was used by the Aryan tribes to describe themselves and to distinction between themselves and the people they conquered  - the native Indian inhabitants. This root can also be found in many other countries whose foundations are Indo-European in origin; the "Ir" in the name Iran comes from the same root, as well as the "Ir" in Ireland, both effectively meaning "the land of the Aryans".

Other descendents of this root include "aristos", the Greek word meaning "high" or "noble", which has descended into the English language in the form of the word aristocracy and aristocratic. The German word "Ehre", meaning Honor or honorable, is a cognate as well. 

Philosophically, the Indo-Aryan root "Ur-" is probably also a cognate with a much deeper history. The German prefix "Ur-", which is a direct descendent, bears the meaning of "original", "ancient", and "primordial", which could very well be in relation to the eternal nature of nobility in the Indo-European religion and social system. Therefore the "Aryans" would also mean "the Original Ones" or "the Ancient Ones" in reference to themselves, who of course would remain the same as opposed to the new peoples and experiences they came into contact with throughout their lifetime. It conveys the philosophical idea of eternity, of being eternal.

Taking all of this into account, the very word "origin" may be descended from this root, from the Latin word "orior", meaning to rise or originate, whose "or-" belongs to the original root Aros.

We must also not forget the other Indo-European root which bears close similarity with the Aros root; Aeros, meaning wind or spirit. In the Indo-European religion, the human soul was considered to be something similar to breath or wind; often times the word for wind or air would also mean "soul". Therefore Aros could also be the original word for "wind" or "air", as it was seen as the breath of the person which was their soul, and therefore their existence as a member of the Aryan tribe. Existing as a collective entity, they could have considered their tribe as bearing one collective and unconscious, primordial soul which they called "Aros", meaning all of these things, which relates to Jung's ideas about the collective unconscious. Playing into racial and tribal psychology, Aros could very well be the epitome of the tribe's racial and spiritual identity, the most important root which defined who they were in the cosmos. It was associated with everything that was original, primordial and eternal to their race; their unchanging identity as a collective soul which formed the continuum known as Aros.

Therefore it would be wise to note "Aros" as one of the more important roots in the Indo-European language. Due to its nature, it is probably a highly potent word in the subconscious manipulative process, perhaps even of high "magical value" in rituals designed to create a meditative state in which primordial race-memory is accessed or remembered.

Skatos - That Which is Formed

The primordial root skatos, that which is cut from the material of the ether, thus scooped from matter around the universal shaft which cuts ... it gives form to shape, from the verb "to shape" which means to cut, likewise with "shave". Being cut and formed according to the higher forms, that is, truth,  as a shadow of the higher forms they are but shades, manifested shapes cast by the light of eternal constancy. Illusionary, material, they are the true definitions of the material existence: shadows, shapes, shades, nothing more.

All of these words in bold come from that root, "ska-", which tends to either be followed by a d/t or p; the former for the more base form, the latter for a specifically material form. Sounds themselves resonate with the existential frequencies of different things, and this is why they are specifically represented by certain utterable sounds - the closest approximate - therefore always consistent in what the words represent, an eternal language. Do not be mistaken in the origins of phonetic roots - they are deliberate, human proximations, or vocal manifestations, of the natural frequencies with which these objects resonate on.

This root, which can be seen clearly in the Germanic languages and to a lesser extent in others, has many cognates: German schaffen, Schaft, Norwegian skap, skav, and Old Norse skapa. The verb meant to create or ordain; to cut out of matter a specific form with shape - a shade of existence. It reflects the temporal nature of material existence, for the shape is but ephemeral - a shade that disappears, a shadow that is easily dissolved and which eventually does. The Greeks derived from this skotos, meaning a darkness or a shade, and the Celtic languages derived from it scath and scod to mean "darkness". The linguistic degeneration over the centuries sees the usage of this term turn from the expression of a physical object, that is, the material shape which is cast from the mold of the metaphysical world, into a meaning strictly pertaining to the corporeal world which is "darkness", "the shape of something", "shadows such as trees make" without deeper meaning common to the public eye, and surviving only in the deeper, original sense in the works of poets.

First ska- split into skatos and skapos, from which the modern forms of the words originate. So remember, the existential expression of the material form, the shape or skapos/skatos. It means form, instance of material existence, etc. A direct translation which would have the most sense for this root in modern day English would be "form".

Mission Statement

"Language and thought are inseparable. One is the expression of the other in physically communicable and recordable format - the degeneration of one leads to the degeneration of the other, and indeed for those modern forms of life there is no philosophical consequence to language - only the utterances of a confused and materialistic society who has lost all connection with primordial knowledge due not only to other factors, but the de-philosiphization of language itself. Words are not even seen as having innate meaning anymore - and thus, the languages of modernity lose all gnostic power for understanding truth beyond that of the physical realm, and thus true understanding altogether." - Etisoppo

Language is one of the few manifest thought forms that expresses the existential identity of a race (that is, manifested as a genetic continuum). And, it is doubtless that over time language has changed alongside the changes in demographic composition across Europe and the rest of the world. The original race to which the Proto-Indo-European language belonged to has long since diluted into the other blood streams of other races, with visible effects. Since the Indo-European language was at one time made the lingua franca between all the nations of Europe, the long-term dilution of the language’s original bearers has waned, and thus the pure and original Aryan language has suffered corruption and alteration at the nuances and thought forms of the other races and thus what we have today is a million descendents of the primordial Aryan language, each diluted by the natures of the various mixed stocks. For example, Slavic tends to cluster consonants together and delete the central vowel, a feature seen in many modern European languages, which is of course a detraction from the original form of the word. As words and grammar come in this way to change, the more difficult it becomes for those trying to regain the wisdom and the ways of primordial thought to grasp the ancient concepts, because the language in which it was retained is not the one that is spoken today. Today’s language has evolved to deal with concepts of the purely material world; it is designed to deal with the concepts of modern life and in the process loses its innate ability to aid in the synchronization in understanding ancient wisdom. The ancients and their language formed a synchronic system that allowed access to the wells of gnosis; if either one of these were corrupted, then the natural ease at which the ancients conceived time and space grew thicker and more difficult. So too, in the modern world, have both the degeneration of blood and the subsequent degeneration of language estranged mankind from the potential of becoming one with true knowledge. Needless to say, the implementation of a regenerative and progenitive eugenics program, which over the course of generations would gradually regain the past genetic fortification of Indo-European stock, would gradually, and over the course of many upon many generations, begin to show signs in the linguistics field; the return of superior and heightened genes will mean the gradual shift of modern language to a higher form of expressing thoughts that resembles that of the past. These new men would begin to use language in a way that fits the necessities of their higher thought processing, thus regaining what would more or less be a revival of the ancient thought pattern, that is, the primordial Aryan language. Therefore, the revival of that ancient thought pattern would regain the ease of access to the wells of knowledge.

However, in the slow centuries it will take to regain this language naturally, and thus recreate the ease in which the human race becomes attuned to the gnosis of truth, this tuning will be too distant in the future. Having to wait for the gene-pool to improve to such a degree that a semblance of the ancient language-form would naturally reemerge is daunting; it would severely stretch the gap between the attainment of superior knowledge (and therefore technology and mastery over physical forms) and the state of man’ s survival today. As it is today, the holy genes of the superior man are in dangerous threat of being deleted; waiting is not an option.

One conclusion by now would be to impose a reconstructed version of the primordial language, formed by reverse engineering to make a close approximate, onto all the candidate-bearers of the race; this is impractical, so much more because the majority of the race’s members are not evolved enough to fully exploit the power this grants them. Where this theory does, however, come into practical application is the scientific or research division, specifically, the occult division.

It is not uncommon for higher forms of government to implement branches of their technological research to the use of psychic and paranormal mediums and rituals to cast nets into the invisible abyss of unknown and untapped, primordial, subconscious reservoirs of race-memory. Here is where a proximate reconstruction of ancient languages comes into use in the immediate future. Not only will the use of the original languages with which this wisdom was originally retained and recognized boost the probability of finding this knowledge, but it will make up for the current lack of superior genetic specimens which to use as mediums. If race and language both form the whole of ancient understanding, and the language portion of this can be used, then we are empowered by at least half of our previous power.

Thus, we must go off seeing how one would reconstruct the ancient European language. What we must recognize are the various alterations which the mixed populations of modern day have applied to the original language; by listing and understanding these rules, we need only to reverse them in order to recreate a past semblance of the original word. This includes an analysis of all cognate roots in Indo-European derived languages and tracing them back to their original source. That will be the purpose of this blog: to document various studies that contribute to this field.

Post Scriptum – One observation that is easily seen by anyone is the exclusive use of Latin and Greek in classical occult ceremony. While this may be due to historical factors, it is coincidentally beneficial because both Latin and Greek retain almost perfect and only slightly altered forms of their original mother-tongue; to delve into the astral plains of the subconscious using Ancient Greek as the language-interface is in itself a potent possibility. It’s natural that the more debased the version of the language one uses, for example, modern Greek of Vulgar Latin, the less magical potency it will have.

Another issue is the refutation of the Marxistic axiom that language is completely relative; while historically and genetically this is true for the modern races, the languages of the ancient races were all aggluentively constructed using words that corresponded concretely and inalienably with certain ideas; we see that the constructions of Greek, Latin and even modern German words are not the mere nuances of inherited words from another language, as French or English has; ever compound is constructed with the specific combination of two ideas each represented by words. That is how the classical, or primordial, forms of language can be distinguished from the modern:

Modern – Often without cause or sense, a word means something “just because”, often because the word and its meaning is inherited from a former, older language. The speakers of these languages require no thought to process language; compound words are not recognized as compounds of separate and combined ideas but as separate words themselves. They do not recognize the construction of the compounded word and the sense it entails, nor the philosophical implications of the roots’ combination together.

Ancient – All words have sense; similar concepts are derived from each other, in perfect philosophical synchrony with their own thought forms; the purest expression of Aryan thought. When compound words are used, they are literally compounding the roots each time purposefully; this means that even if compound words were nonexistent in their language, they would continually create them again and again through the simple and natural use of their language. Phonemes are existential expressions of eternal ideas, etc. Also, they require absolutely no borrowing from other languages; everything can be expressed with their vocabulary of basic existential roots. 

In this way, we hope to make the reconstruction of a usable Proto-Indo-European language one of the chief objectives of those interested in reviving gnosis and achieving man's salvation. It may end up being a very important factor in the current metaphysical war, for the lost wisdom of the past harbors the seeds of technologies that will surpass anything modern man has ever dreamt of, and lend our fighting forces - our soldiery - the weapons needed to win. 

Sincerely,
