Hi Bob,

I will look into the book, thanks.

In a nutshell, D'Olivet called Aleph the sign of potential creation.
In Gimbutas' Language of the Goddess, she shows Dorothy Cameron, a medical 
book illustrator, had brought out the uncanny resemblance between the 
bucranium / bulls head, and the uterus / fallopian tubes.

The oldest Semitic representation of Aleph is the ox head / bulls head.
If the tie in was correct, D'Olivet's list of meanings were directly tied 
to woman / the Goddess culture
via the Proto-Sinatic alphabet. Or, at least should define the same way.

All of the information I have found forms a trail that traces back to about 
1700 BC,  jumps from there to the first dynasty of Egypt, jumps over to 
Sumer via core meanings, and then shows some of the oldest signs traceable 
back through the Goddess culture to the Azillian Pebbles.

From there, using the base ideas I had gotten from Moonhawk / Native 
American myth, I was able to  fill the one "hole" I had.  These myths said, 
concerning language: "and then something happened." Something concerning 
the way we once communicated ... changed. This hole was filled with Dr 
LaViolette's destruction sequence. I have a complete hypothesis for 
language development in that area, due to radiation exposure. A comparison 
of paleo - art and what happened directly after the destruction shows a 
marked difference.

My problem, as usual, is that I can not explain things as a linguist. I can 
just tell it as I see it. When I explained how the ancient system of 
communication worked to Moohawk, his education kicked in. I was breaking 
all the rules that he, as a linguist, had learned. He said I was mixing 
languages. I told him I wasn't mixing languages. More modern languages have 
carried the ancient trait. Etymology shows the base construction. From 
here, the ancient signs further the definition. Hence I call this subject 
Hieroglyphic Etymology, using D'Olivet's term. This is not really a study 
of modern words, anyway. It is a study of ancient words. There is a 
history. "Some people" used this idea to deliberately hide ideas.

The bulls head was a Goddess Culture temple symbol, and was incorporated 
with the breasts of woman in the temple. In proto-Sinatic script, this 
represents the word ASh. / fire.  Fire was a creation representation that 
described change, at the root, pregnancy. But with an extension of thought, 
what I call commonization, fire represents any "creative change."  Although 
modern Hebrew defines Shin as tooth, the proto-Sinatic sign is the breast 
of woman.
