MILK

With Yahweh (๐ค‰๐ค„๐ค…๐ค„ in "Phoenician") things are complicated - two unrelated meanings from two Arabic verbs:

  • hawa third person masculine singular yahwi (ูŠู‡ูˆู‰): he falls/declines/dies
  • hawiya third person masculine singular yahwa (ูŠَู‡ْูˆَู‰): he (passionately) desires

I guess this explains the paradoxical nature of Christianity. Or nothing. The problem is that name Yahweh as we pronounce it today, is made up: after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE, the original pronunciation of the name was forgotten entirely. All we know is that it was originally written as ๐ค‰๐ค„๐ค…๐ค„.

"JEHOVAH"

๐ค‰๐ค„๐ค…๐ค„ (right-to-left: yod-he-vav-he) probably shouldn't sound far from YEVE. There are several Greek sources that wrote this name as แผธฮฑฮฟฯ…ฮญ (Iaoue), แผธฮฑฮฒฮญ (Iabe) and แผธฮฑฯ‰ (Iao) - I don't have the links but several AI engines confirmed these. Yet for some reason Jewish scolars from Dark Ages decided that ๐ค„ is not a vowel but an h sound. Greeks don't remember any h there. Also Jewish are the only people who read 5th letter of "Phoenician" alphabet as h. Everybody else in the region had vowel ae as fifth letter of their alphabet: Italians, Greeks, Armenians, Georgians. Last two alphabets look nothing like Phoenician, yet they too begin with A-B-G-D-E-... sounds. Also God Jupiter was actually called Iovi. Is this obvious similarity why they "forgot" how to pronounce YEVE?

Best match for the God Yeve in the Middle East was Persian jiwya (page 47, j = y) - (consecrated) milk. That tradition/milk is probably what is now called Khalav ื—ืœื‘ (dairy) in Hebrew, and it is traditionally distributed by Sinagogues to the community for free as part of the Shavuot ืฉָׁื‘ื•ּืขื•ֹืช (weekly) giveaway. In Odessa, in Russian Empire, they actually did it weekly, which became an origin of modern Russian khalyava (ั…ะฐะปัะฒะฐ: free stuff), but people got greedy since and now they only do it once a year :)

The Russian khalyava example illustrates the process of foreign word adoption by people who don't care about the original implied symbolism. The obvious Indo-Iranian metaphor of Holy/Sacred Cow, that feeds it's children, was simplified by Jews and Greeks/Latins to milk worship. In Russia they "mispronounce" Yahweh as Iegova which matches an old Indo-Iranian gov root which you say today as cow. E.g. Krishna's nickname is Govinda (finder of cows). I am not sure if such pronounciation is intentional, but if it is, maybe Russian Church found a "compromise" between improper Greek/Jewish word they had to use and the original cow (govyado ะณะพะฒัะดะพ) meaning they wanted to convey.

"EVE"

Eve in Yiddish is written as ๐ค‡๐ค…๐ค…๐ค„ (right-to-left: khet-vav-vav-he) or ื—ื•ื•ื” (they say it was khavve(h), today it's khavva(h)) which is also a word for farm, as it should be according to Persian traditional woman/garden/god metaphor. In modern Hebrew they write it as ๐ค‡๐ค…๐ค„ or ื—ַื•ָּื” to make sure there is a visible difference.

Losing one ๐ค… seems harmless today, when it's a consonant, but let's not forget that in Latin same letter was sometimes used as U sound. So the actual Phoenician pronunciation might have been khoove(h) or khwe(h). Knowing the story of A-dam I looked into Middle Persian dictionary and best match I found was xwah (page 95, x = kh) - sister. Which sounds right since it was OK to marry one's sister in Old Persia.

"GOD"

Somehow Jewish god of fortune Gad, mentioned in Bible, is not an origin of Germanic/English Gott/God. This is one of rare cases where I agree with official science. Germanic and Slavic tribes were colonised by Greeks long before Italians. That is why Germans don't speak broken Latin and German Emperor considered himself an authority equal to Roman Pope. Greek god Hades ... Plouton ... "the rich one" was also pronounced as Gades by Slavs (ะ“ะฐะดะตั in old Russian) and that would explain Phoenician Gad of fortune and Germanic Gott that later became English God. In addition to Gades all Balkan Slavic languages, Ukrainian and Russian share a word gad to describe an evil/mean person or animal. There is no proof it has been derived from Gades but such a coincidence is striking.

The Holy Italian Church bragged so much about bringing civilization to the savages that they can't admit they were late to the show in Austria, Germany, Northern and Eastern Europe. They weren't even the first monotheists:

MY THEORY ON WHAT HAPPENED

These aren't far-fetched or cherry-picked because in a region as small as Near East people using similar alphabets and acknowledging mutual cultural exchange would inevitably share cults as well. How would several culturally independent civilizations develop next to each other? It's theoretically impossible. These similarities are expected and they are observed, yet somehow ignored by mainstream historians, theologists and linguists. For example they do acknowlege that Jewish Phoenician word adon is origin of Greek god Adonis yet they don't see it as origin of Spanish/Italian honorific title don (as in Don Juan).

Probable approximate order of events:

  1. Phoenicians colonize Italian Peninsula, that's where Latin script and Iovi come from
  2. Greeks colonise Italy, bring in their pantheon, Theos (aka Zeus) is "mapped" to Iovi
  3. Isaiah 65:11 is written within Byzantine Empire, it mentions antique Greek gods Hades (Gad) and Men (Meni):
    But you are those who forsake the Lord,
    Who forget My holy mountain,
    Who prepare a table for Gad,
    And who furnish a drink offering for Meni.
