description: On the etymologies of Kypros (Cyprus), kyparissos (=the cypress tree), kypeiron (=Cyperus longus), kapparis (the caper plant), kypros (=Lawsonia inermis), sappheiros, kardamom (=Lepidium sativum in Ancient Greek), kardamomon (=Elettaria cardamomum; the plant known in English as cardamom). And many more new etymologies, such as new never-before revealed etymologies of Daco-Thracian Salmoxis/Zalmoxis, Gebeleixis/Gebeleizis, Zibelthiurdos/Zibelsiurdos, which are of extremely high certainty due to the odds of the way it matched up so exactly to something well-known in the mythology of storm gods in Europe. It’s extremely unlikely that these new etymologies of the Daco-Thracian Zeus are incorrect. This updated version discusses an additional important semantic progression observed in a number of languages, in addition to the semantic progressions discussed in previous versions. This work definitely elucidates a number of ancient Eurasian and Semitic words and PIE roots. In my new 7th version, I have a new, different etymology for sappheiros, an alternative eymology for Kypros, a new etymology for kapparis, an etymology for a number of Akkadian words (all the new work in the 7th version is in the section that discusses Kypros, kapparis, sappheiros, and some others). An update that was needed and overdue, with a number of corrections and clarifications.
description: Updated seventh version. Another important update. New different etymology for sappheiros; an alternative etymology for Kypros, as likely as the previous one; a new etymology for kapparis, and more updates. Includes all updates from the sixth version, where I found that I was right about the meaning of Salm-/Zalm and Gebel/Zebel/Zibel. And that S. Olteanu was wrong about the second element. I have found the actual etymology of the entire names now, both elements of the names. It's great news for all interested in Proto-Indo-European linguistics. We have a much better idea and picture of the Dacian and Thracian languages now. This work also elucidates many Ancient Greek words and more.
