Spider

(Job 8:14) - a well-known insect, from the class of invertebrates, which differs from all other insects in the special structure of its body. The spider with remarkable art spreads its cobweb, the subtlety and fragility of which, according to the word of Holy Scripture, serves as a clear expression of the vain hope and enterprises of wicked people (Is 59:5). The remarkable arrangement of their legs, acting in some way like a human hand, has often been described by naturalists. The expression in Prov. 30:28, "the spider clings with its paws, but is in the king's halls," according to some, means some other large animal of the lizard breed, but an amazing correspondence between the arrangement of the spider's paws and the terms used to express its way weave a web, do not speak enough in favor of the indicated assumption.

  • Introduction

    The etymology of the word "spider" is interesting because in most languages ​​it is associated with the word "yarn", "spinning", "spinning".
    First, the ancient Greek legend of Arachne.
    Arachne
    The legend of Arachne is part of the myth of Athena.
    According to legend, Arachne tried to compete with Athena in the art of spinning, for which she was turned into a spider-Arachne by Athena.
    The name of Arachne is the key to the legend.
    Arachne - Araxna - parax [n] a - spinner (pra-Slav.) (omission p).

    Etymology

    The etymology of the word "spider" and "spinner" is carried out according to my method.

    Arachnoid (Arachnoidea) prjach-vidnea - sprite-like (glorious) (skipping p, replacing v / n)
    kloto - > prjaxat - hide (slav.) (skipping p, changing k / l, reducing x / k), more
    kloto - > kudel - kudel (glor.) (transition l / t, reduction d / t)
    spider - pauk > pajka / prjaxa - soldering / spinning (glor.) (replacement j / r) from the floating Nostratic root p-k- fart. (glory.) (in the sense of “knit”, not to be confused with the interjection “bunch!”), the derivative p-j-k / p-r-x is soldering / spinning.
    araneus - spider (lat.) > paragnj - yarn (glor.) (omission p, g)
    spider - spider (English) > spi-der > prjaga-tel / del - spinner / yarn-delati (glor.) (inv. spi, omission r, replacement j / i, reduction t / d, l / r
    spinner - spinner (English) > prjagnaj - yarn (glor.) (inv. spi, replacement j / r)
    spinne - spider (German) > prjagnnj - yarn (glory) (inv. spi, omission r, replacement j / i)
    spinaerin spinner (German) > prjagnaj-delanj - yarn making (glor.) (reduction l / r, skip d)
    cabweb - web (English) > bechevca/verevca - twine / rope (glor.) (inv. cabweb, replacement ch/w, reduction v/b; inv. cabweb, reduction v/b, replacement r/w)
    airaignee - spider (fr.) > araxa > prjaxa - spinner (glor.) (reduction x / gn, derived from Greek Arach
    fileur - spin (fr.) > viljanj / vejanj - twisted / winnowed (glor.) (inv. v / f, replacement n / u; replacement j / l), where “spun” is a thread.
    eankbut - spider (arab.) > preax-paut - spin of the web (glor.) (skip p, replace r / n, reduce x / k, p / b)
    alg hazal - spinner (Arabic) > prjalka kozij - goat spinning wheel (wool) (glor.) (omission pr, reduction k/g, k/h, replacement j/l)
    ;r;mcek – spider (Turk.) > prjadilchik – spinner (glor.) (inv. ;r;m, reduction p/m, ch/c, replacement d/;, omission l)
    topa; - spin (Turk.) > shtopka - darning (glor.) (omission sh, reduction k /;)
    urna - spider (Sansk.) > purjagnaj - yarn (glor.) (omission p, j, g)
    prajan - spinner, birth (Sansk.) > prjagenj - spinning (glor.) (omission g)
    h; ma h; kki - spider (fin.) > am paukki - am spider (glor.) (omission p), where "am" is a devourer
    kehr;;j; - spin (fin.) > kudhelaaja - tow (glor.) (omission d, reduction l / r)
    makadee - spider (Chin.) > mat-kudel - mother-kudel (glor.) (replacement l / e), here it looks like Hebrew or Arabic with the prefix ma-.
    spinar - spinner (Chin.) > prjagnaj - yarn (Slav.)
    pok - spider (Hung.) > pauk - spider (Slav.)
    legcsavarkup - spinner (Hungarian) > puk - prajagkij - a bunch of buckles (Slavic) (inv. legcsavarkup, omission p, reduction g/sc, k/g, replacement j/l)
    I don’t exactly guarantee the reliability of the translation from the Hebrew alphabet of the words “spider” and “yarn”, but something like this turns out:
    ayin-kaf-bet-yod-shin (Hebrew letters) > aikbish / ajkabish - spider (Heb.) > pajk-prjash - spider yarn (glor.) (reduction p / b, replacement j / i, omission p, r)
    tet-vav-nun-hey (Hebrew letters) > tevanukh / tevanux - spinner (Hebrew) > deva nitki - virgin thread (glor.) (reduction d / t, k / x, omission t)
    spy - spy (eng.) > prjatanj - hiding (inv. spi, skipping r, replacing j / y, reducing t / s,
    spion - spy (German) > prjatanj - hiding, hidden (glor.) (inv. spi, omission r, replacement j / i, reduction t / s)
    It would seem that the word "spy" is a common root with "spider", but the replacement t / s forms a new word "hiding" close in meaning to the behavior of a spider, but not with its function of "spinning a web".

    There is also the word ARKAN - a rope with a loop at the end
    This word came to our language from the Turkic language.
    Literally translated ROPE.
    Well, the word ROPE is already directly related to WEAVING and, accordingly, to SPINNING.
    There is also the word PARKS - the ancient Roman goddesses of fate, who SPIN the human thread of fate.
    Quite possibly this is a modified word SPINNING.

    But I wonder what is the nature of the origin of the word SPINNING or YARN, SPINNING, SPINNING
    And why in these obviously single-root words, the root begins to "jump" like that! Somewhere SPRING, somewhere STRAIGHT, and somewhere SPRING!

    If you still go further, I personally think that there is some connection with the Turkic word BUR - "turn, turn, turn, rotate"
    In principle, the combination of VER, VOR is also present in our words, but they are already "overgrown" with abundant suffixes and prefixes, and in a separate version this meaning of the word is absent.

    THREAD and BAND! Yes, there is clearly a single chain!
    But still it is very possible that the translations NINTH and TENTH are not a coincidence.
    Perhaps there are two parallel semantic levels of understanding. Although it is possible and even they can also be connected. In English, TEN - TEN. TEN - read backwards. It turns out practically a THREAD.
    It turns out a kind of peculiar bunch DECIMA - BAND; TEN - THREAD.
    Somehow, the number 10 is related to WEAVING. Perhaps because the number 10 is a kind of transition to a new level? It is necessary to see how the word THREAD in other languages. Are there still sound intersections between the words THREAD and TEN?

    interesting about the familiar in Russian WHERE THERE ARE
    NAMES OF COLORS (SHADES)

    Sometimes in this journal I post materials on etymology: about the origin of words, names, names, unusual facts. in general, just a curious sci-pop.

    Today is about colors.

    Among the color adjectives in our speech, there are many foreign ones. Here borrowed from French:
    - beige,
    - fawn,
    - Orange,
    - lilac,
    - violet,
    - crimson,
    - burgundy.

    Adjective white almost the oldest. This is a common Slavic word of an Indo-European character, derived from the Indo-European bha* - « to shine, shine, shine» using the suffix -t- (cf. Latvian. Bals - « pale", Greek. phalos white" etc.).


    The suffix -t- (only in etymological terms, of course) can be distinguished in this word by such single-root formations of other Indo-European languages ​​that contain other suffixes, like Greek Phanos"light, bright" Old Irish Ban"white", or are root (an example is ancient ind. bhas"radiance, brilliance", where -s represents the ending).
    Thus, originally the word white meant " shiny, luminous».

    As a word that came from the Greek language, the words should be noted flashlight(from Middle Greek Phanarion, which is a suffixal derivative of ancient Greek Phanos"light, shine") and fantasy(from ancient Greek Phantasua vision, ghost).

    By figurative nature, the adjective adjoins the word white blue, which at the time of its birth also meant " shiny, radiant". This common Slavic word was formed using the suffix -n- from the same stem (si-) as the verb to shine. The relationship of the words blue and shine is undeniable. It is quite possible that the words gray and gray, which in this case are derivatives through the suffixes -u- and -z-.

    adjectives green and yellow are closely related not only by the fact that they denote adjacent colors of the spectrum. They are also united by blood ties. After all, these common Slavic words are of the same root and differ from each other only by the suffixes by which they were formed.
    Word green(from greenery) - derived with the help of the suffix -en- from the same stem (zel-) as the dialect potion"grass, greenery", Greek. Chloe"grass" in German Gelb"yellow", etc. We see the same basis, but with the e / o reversal (cf. I'm taking - a cart, I'm carrying - a burden, etc.) we see in the words cereal(from *zolkъ) and gold(from *zolto) with etymological suffixes -k- and -t- (cf. related words containing the same suffixes: dialectal click and yellow).
    Word yellow(from zhltyi) is formed using the suffix -t- from the same stem (zhl- *gil) as the dialect beetle"jaundice", click"become yellow"
    The ancient forms *zel- and *gil- form the same non-derivative stem and differ only phonetically; the quality of the initial guttural consonant (cf. a similar phenomenon in lit. Town and dial. zorod"fence") and the e/i mutation. The meaning of these forms was not initially differentiated, which was clearly manifested in the words green and gold(literally - " yellow»).

    The word stands apart in relation to all color designations. red. And not only because, as already noted, it is quite young. The point is that it is characteristic of given value only Russian language. In other Slavic languages, to designate red, they still use the old names formed from the stem worm- (cf. Ukrainian Chervoniy, bulg. Cherven, Polish Czerwony etc.). The latter is explained by the fact that in the all-Slavic era, red paint was prepared from worms (a special kind).

    As a color name, a proper Russian adjective red arose on the basis of the common Slavic red(red)" beautiful, good”, derived using the suffix -н- from the word beauty"decoration". In its original meaning, the word red is freely used even now in all other Slavic languages, except for Russian. In our language, in its original meaning, it is found only in phraseological phrases such as debt in payment is red, for the sake of a red word, red price, red fish, red girl, on the world and death is red, etc.

    Peculiar and the word black. It differs from other common Slavic color designations primarily in that (despite its former performance) the feature underlying it cannot be established even with the help of a deep etymological analysis. Yes, and the ancient suffix -n- at its base is visible, it seems, only against the background of Baltic correspondences like Lithuanian. Kirsna"black" (name of the river), Old Prussian. Kirsnan"black".
