    If deus/dea etc. is rooted in PIE, what is the root of the germanic word “God”?

  • @samnjohnson

    @samnjohnson

    Ай бұрын

    it’s not totally clear - it technically could derive from something like *ǵʰutós, which could be connected to Sanskrit hótar- “sacrificing priest” from the root *ǵʰeu- “pour out, libate”. If this is the case it would mean something like “one to whom libations are poured”. It could also be from the root * ǵʰeuH- “invoke”, as in “invoked one”. There just isn’t as much comparative evidence as deus that allows us to pin it down. The root of deus does survive into Germanic tho as *tīwaz, Old Norse Tyr.

    It was specifically the daylit sky, but it is true that "light" was a specific association. The earth in many IE cultures are called "the dark one" or "the dark earth" which would be an amazing parallel to "the bright sky". The earth is of course also "the mother", while the sky is "the father", so the bright sky father and the dark earth mother (dark not as in bad/evil).

    I'm pretty sure that its a hierarchical term. Like a leader that rules multiple kingdoms is an emporer. Its why the Egyptian rulers went from being deities to deity kings to kings. With the references to light and the common iconography of the most powerful being in the pantheon being symbolized with the sun I've taken the concept of deva, deus, whichever entomology you want to truly mean a being that is overflowing with energy like the sun. On a quantum level. Every aspect of their existence, referred to in Hinduism as chakras, are fully opened, aligned, and empowered. Taking into account science is the abstract examination of the natural world and science has the concept of quantum mechanics, the practical application of quantum mechanics would be the classical magic spoken of in mythologies.

There is no such thing as “Sky fathers” in African religions (example: if that is a sky-father, who is the sky-mother? Which exists in many African religions if not most. Ex: Onyame, Mawu, etc. Nevermind the fact many African religions blur the distinctions between monotheism & polytheism.
