description: On the etymologies of Kypros (Cyprus), kyparissos (=the cypress tree), kypeiron (=Cyperus longus), kapparis (the caper plant), kypros (=Lawsonia inermis), sappheiros (=lapis lazuli in Ancient Greek),, salamandra (=salamander). 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 work definitely elucidates a number of ancient Eurasian and PIE roots and words and Semitic roots words. I have also found an Ancient Greek word previously unidentified: “aoia” meant “myrrh tree” on the island of Cyprus and in some other parts of the Ancient Greek world. This work can also be titled “Love and Thunder”, since I first discuss the etymology of Kypros, the island of Aphrodite the goddess of Love, then soon after that I discuss the etymologies of Zalmoxis, Gebeleixis, and Zibelthiurdos, three gods of Thunder. And I arranged it like this long before I knew that that would be the title of the new Thor movie from Marvel: apparently they first made that title public in July 2019, but I did not know about that title in December 2020 when I published the first version with that arrangement.
description: Updated and excellent ninth version. So many long overdue improvements to this work, which, from all my works on Zenodo, had the most problems as far as numerous paragraphs that needed fine-tuning and some theories that weren't formulated to the level of my other works, but still this work has many etymologies which are very important, new, and certainly correct: just take a look at my new perfecting of my etymology of Kypros, the name of the island: I was right: Kypros derives from "pointed" referring to the long, pointed peninsula jutting out from the eastern end of the island, as proven by Kerastia/Kerastis, ancient alternate names for the island, which derive from Keras="horn"---see, I was right! This work is well-worth re-reading much of it or all of it, since I have added a lot of new information and greatly improved so much of this work. A number of the improvements I could have done many months ago but I had so many other papers that I was working on at the same time. This is the work that brought the world not only the first correct etymology of Kypros, but also of Salmoxis/Zalmoxis, Gebeleixis/Zebeleixis, Zibelthiurdos/Svelsurdos, Kardamon, Kardzouliek, and probably of Salamandra as well, as well as more correct new etymologies. And in the final Kwet section, I explain that the meaning "rock, stone" for Kwetra could have developed from "thunderstone", in turn from "lightning bolt" in turn from "pointed; sharp; bright": see Tocharian B "karwene" (="rock, stone") for a likely parallel example of a word for "rock, stone" likely deriving from "lightning bolt" because it was believed by many that many or all stones came down from the sky with lightning strikes. In this new version I removed the Kardamon/Kardzouliek work which will be given its own PDF soon; no change to those Kard- etymologies but I will add more to it. Till then that work can be seen in previous versions of this work.
