    About this ebook

    This is as if an “envelope”, or very shortened variant (about 6 %), intended for first look at one enormous scientific book, the nearest genre to which is etymology, but not only. Not only, for I am going from the etymology with the purpose to explain popularly (as far as this is possible), how people of various nations think about ... everything, and in almost all Indo-European languages, what ideas are hidden behind the words, how they are related with other words and roots, and with other languages; that is why I say that these are /impressions on etymological canvas/. The major used languages are: English, German, and Russian, but also very often Latin, French, Greek (usually old), many Western languages, as also Slavonic ones, and other old languages (like Arabic, Persian, and Sanskrit). This is a book about Creation viewed through the words, yet also philosophical book, with many comments and suggestions of the author. And so on, I have spent more than 10 years working on it.

      Writing In Rhythm

      Jun 19, 2019

      Often when people talk about “the music of language” they make it sound like a mere frill, something we add to “dress up” plain writing. I don’t agree with this view. At the heart of language, I hear music—word-music, akin in many ways to instrumenta
