etymos.....logos? .....Before thinking of the name of a idea...lets get a deeper understanding

of these..... .....There is knowledge here...... 4 some 1....

As its own origin from the Greek (etymos, “true”; logos, “word”) shows, etymology was first used as a philosophical term. The

Greek Stoics believed that words and their meanings exist in nature, as the real counterparts of things and abstract ideas, rather than as conventions invented and agreed upon by human beings. Long before the foundation of the Stoic school, however, Plato had used a method similar to modern etymology in his Cratylus, a dialogue on the meaning of words. The first formal treatise on etymology, however, was Indian, dating as far back perhaps as the 5th century bc, and was composed to explain the difficult words in the Rig-Veda, the oldest and most important of the Hindu sacred books.

Early attempts at etymology were naive and incorrect according to phonetic evolution. This primitive kind of etymology is still common and is known as popular, or folk, etymology. Among those unfamiliar with the history of words, the attempt is frequently made to etymologize them in terms of other words to which they may have some phonetic resemblance. In English, for example, the word island, properly “isle-land” (Anglo-Saxon īgland), has been explained as “land like an eye in the waters”; and asparagus (Greek asparagos, “a sprout”) has become corrupted to “sparrowgrass” in colloquial speech.

Scientific Comparisons

With the introduction of Sanskrit into Europe, etymology along more scientific lines was made possible. At about the beginning of the 19th century, European scholars studying Sanskrit noted its resemblance in vocabulary to Latin and Greek. The comparison of vocabularies was extended to other languages, and the idea of a common origin, an Indo-European parent language, was soon established. This, in turn, led to the establishment of certain principles concerning the sound changes that affected the forms of words in the different languages, that is, to the formulation of the phonetic laws. In the case of loan words—words borrowed from other languages—phonetic law is apparently violated, and it frequently happens that a language has two or more words derived from a single word, one being a regular phonetic development, the other a borrowed form. In this case the latter form, known by the French term mot savant, is usually differentiated in meaning from the former. Thus, in French and English such words as royal and regal are both from the Latin regalis, “kingly”; the form regal is borrowed directly from the Latin, and royal (French roi, “king,” from the Latin accusative regem) is the phonetically correct form. Loan words may also undergo the regular sound changes of the language into which they have been adopted. For example, the Latin pondus, “pound,” appears in Gothic and Anglo-Saxon as pund, with unchanged consonants, but in Old High German it is subject to the action of Grimm’s law and becomes phunt. Thus, in etymology attention must be given to the history of words and sometimes to the records of the tribes speaking them. The English wise (as in otherwise, in no wise) is akin to the Old High German wīs(a), modern German die Weise; but wise is a doublet of guise, the form assumed by wīs(a) in the Romance languages, which borrowed the word from the Germanic form. The same word thus may assume different forms in the same language, and, conversely, different words may become identical in form in a specific language. The large group of homonyms in every language is sufficient proof of this process. An excellent English example of such a phenomenon is sound, which is a conglomerate of several originally distinct words: Anglo-Saxon gesund, “hearty”; Anglo-Saxon sund, “a body of water”; and Latin sonus, “noise.”

Etymology

Al-Khwārizmī, Persian astronomer and mathematician, wrote a treatise in 825 AD, On Calculation with Arabic Numerals. (See algorism). It was translated into Latin in the 12th century as Algoritmi de numero Indorum (al-Daffa 1977), whose title was likely intended to mean "Algoritmi on the numbers of the Indians", where "Algoritmi" was the translator's rendition of the author's name; but people misunderstanding the title treated Algoritmi as a Latin plural and this led to the word "algorithm" (Latin algorismus) coming to mean "calculation method". The intrusive "th" is most likely due to a false cognate with the Greek ἀριθμός (arithmos) meaning "number".

It is going to get steep ahead. I have just gone back and advised the un ready to rest..... and that I will take one group up the mountain side at a

Learn the principle, abide by the principle, and dissolve the principle. In short, enter a mold without being caged in it. Obey the principle without being bound by it. LEARN, MASTER AND ACHIEVE!!!

Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.

That the first pathways were the trails made by animals has not been universally accepted, arguing that animals do not follow constant paths.^[3] Others believe that some roads originated from following animal trails.^[9]^[10] The Icknield Way is given as an example of this type of road origination, where man and animal both selected the same natural line.^[11] By about 10,000 BC, rough pathways were used by human travelers.^[3]

Stone paved streets are found in the city of Ur in the Middle East dating back to 4000 BC^[3]

Corduroy roads (log roads) are found dating to 4,000 BC in Glastonbury, England^[3]

The timber trackway; Sweet Track causeway in England, is one of the oldest engineered roads discovered and the oldest timber trackway discovered in Northern Europe. Built in winter 3807 BC or spring 3806 BC, tree-ring dating (Dendrochronology) enabled very precise dating. It has been claimed to be the oldest road in the world.^[12]^[13]

Brick paved streets were used in India as early as 3000 BC^[3]

In 500 BC, Darius I the Great started an extensive road system for Persia (Iran), including the famous Royal Road which was one of the finest highways of its time.^[14] The road remained in use after Roman times.

In ancient times, transport by river was far easier and faster than transport by road,^[13] especially considering the cost of road construction and the difference in carrying capacity between carts and river barges. A hybrid of road transport and ship transport beginning in about 1740 is the horse-drawn boat in which the horse follows a cleared path along the river bank.^[15]^[16]

From about 312 BC, the Roman Empire built straight^[17] strong stone Roman roads throughout Europe and North Africa, in support of its military campaigns. At its peak the Roman Empire was connected by 29 major roads moving out from Rome and covering 78,000 kilometers or 52,964 Roman miles of paved roads.^[13]

In the 700s AD, many roads were built throughout the Arab Empire. The most sophisticated roads were those of the Baghdad, Iraq, which were paved with tar in the 8th century. Tar was derived from petroleum, accessed from oil fields in the region, through the chemical process of destructive distillation.^[18]

In the 1600s road construction and maintenance in Britain was traditionally done on a local parish basis.^[13] This resulted in a poor and variable state of roads. To remedy this, the first of the "Turnpike Trusts" was established around 1706, to build good roads and collect tolls from passing vehicles. Eventually there were approximately 1,100 Trusts in Britain and some 36,800 km of engineered roads.^[13] The Rebecca Riots in Carmarthenshire and Rhayader from 1839 to 1844 contributed to a Royal Commission leading to the demise of the system in 1844.^[19]

Pranayama is the practice in which the control of prana is achieved (initially) from the control of one's breathing. According to Yogic philosophy the

breath, or air, is merely a gateway to the world of prana and its manifestation in the body.
