Reconstruction of the PIE-Trinity-concept

jwr In the Mystery of the Seven Vowels in Theory and Practice the author Joscelyn Godwin describes a philosophical concept in which seven vowels may be related to seven planets, seven colors and seven tones. This concept however may have been preceded by a three-poled concept, which has been described in Memories of Languages. Several reasons may be given for this reduced and simpler concept, which may have evolved to the newer 7-vowel system. Let's start with the oldest root symbol Dyeus, which eventually may also be written as Dieus (?).

Dyeus -> y, e, u
The three-vowel system originally has to be based on the Proto-Indo-European sky god concept had been personified by *Dyeus, whose name clearly had been built from three vowels: y, e and u. Unfortunately we do not really have a clear idea of the symbolic contents of each of these vowels in this word. The first idea was to eliminate the trailing letter U, which could not be interpreted as a leading (principal) symbol. This would reduce the choice between the leading Y and the central vowel E. In this study of course I noticed Plutarch's On the E at Delphi, who describes the inscription E at the entrance of Apollo's sanctuary. There is a slight chance that the sequence of these letters in the word have been chosen in the same order in various structures. One of the possibilities to check this thesis are other divine names, such as IOU-piter, which later had been changed to Jupiter. IOU-piter uses the same sequence for Roman letters: I, O, U which is equivalent to Y, E, U. In the same way we will investigate the Trinity-concept of YHWH which generally had been translated to IA1. If this concept uses the same sequence IA is equivalent to YEU. This would imply that all records might document the three corresponding elements in the same order y, e, u, respectively i, o, u. Let's apply this method to the creation legend in Plato's Symposium.

Plato -> y, e, u
In his famous Symposium Plato describes the strange three-fold structure of man as follows: Now the sexes were three, and such as I have described them; because the sun, moon, and earth are three;-and the man was originally the child of the sun, the woman of the earth, and the man-woman of the moon, which is made up of sun and earth, and they were all round and moved round and round: like their parents. This seems to be a good start for a three-fold concept, in which the sun will be named planet instead of a star.

1 A Brief History Of Gnosticism - According to the Catholic Encyclopedia (1907) Diodorus Siculus (1st century BCE) writes YHWH as (Iao). Others listed in the Wikipedia-site Tetragrammaton applied similar spellings: (Iaoth), (Iao), (Iaou), (Ieuo) , (Ia), (Iabe), Iaho and Jehjeh.

Concept of a PIE-trinity concept

Now let's assume that Plato, the author of Exodus 25:4 and 2 Chronicles 3:14 chose the same sequence of these three elements in their documentation.

The Bible
Exodus 25:4, for the Delft-Bible (1477), derived from a medieval History-Bible (approx. 1360) reads: blue / red / yellow / white [4] ende zide blaeu root gheel ende twewarf gheuerwet ende wit vlas ende haer van gheyten Exodus 25:4, Luther 1545 (Original script), reads: yellow / scarlet / rose-red / white [4] gele seiden / scharlacken / rosinrot / weisse seiden / zigenhar / Exodus 25:4 for the King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) reads: And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, 2 2 Chronicles 3:14 reads: He made the curtain of blue, purple and crimson...

Homer
According to Homer the rainbow merely had one color: purple - (porphureos). 3

"The Parallel Lives" by Plutarch4

A great number of coloring codes for purple and scarlet, but none for blue could be detected in the historical records of Plutarch. Purple seems to be the imperial and divine symbol, such as the purple vestment of the goddess Demeter. Scarlet may have been a male symbol for warriors. Kings and generals make their appearance in a purple robe, but the kings wear a royal diadem and a purple robe. In a battle the king and the generals wear scarlet coats. The usual signal of impending battle was the display of a scarlet tunic (probably as a male symbol for a male warrior). From the earliest eras of Roman history (the Life of Romulus) the leader wore purple: a scarlet tunic and a toga bordered with purple.

The Claudian letter Y as an intermediate between I and U

Claudius now introduced the , a half H to represent the so-called sonus medius, a short vowel sound between U and I. In time, the letter Y was added to the Latin alphabet, filling the role of the broken "H" which Claudius had promulgated. This defines the Roman letter Y as an intermediate between I and U.

The Danish elements A, and E

In many western, northern, and southwestern Norwegian dialects, and in the western Danish dialects of Thy and Southern Jutland, has a significant meaning: the first person singular pronoun I, and it is thus a normal spoken word; usually, it is written as when these dialects are rendered in writing. The Scandinavian creation legend describes the first human beings as Ask and Embla, which may have been represented by A and E, joined as the bipolar unity .

At the age of 7 years in 1954-1955 I learned the Creation legend in Religion Class, where a priest taught me to draw the first man in red and the first woman in blue, wheres after the fall the couple had to be drawn purple. The notebook of these lessons has been documented5.

The ego-pronouns at the Anomaly near Chur, Switzerland 6

I invested a trip to the Swiss mountains near the Rhine's bifurcation at Chur. At this bifurcation a linguistic anomaly seemed to have been survived all Barbarian Invasions and migration of peoples. At this point we may find three or four different ego-pronouns and incidentally also their corresponding divine names. The west-sided branch used the ieu-core corresponding to the French version of Provencal egopronoun ieu, which may have mutated to the modern French ego-pronoun je and the divine name Dieu. The south-sided branch used the iou-core corresponding to the Italic version of the original Romanitalic ego-pronoun iou, which may have mutated to the modern Italian ego-pronoun io and the divine name Iou-piter. The east-sided branch used the iau-core corresponding to the Slavic version of the ego-pronoun iau, which may have mutated to the modern ego-pronoun ja7 for the Jauer-languages and the Asian or eastern divine name Dyaus. Of course the Jauer have been named after their most important word, the ego-pronoun jau. The north-sided branch for symmetry has been concentrating on another vowel, the letter H, or eta, which would have generated a basic vowel core and ego-pronoun ihu. The letter H obviously may have caused some problems for its consonant behavior and its after introduction the H may as well have been produced an ego-pronoun in a German dialect-form IH, which further north mutated to ich and in the Netherlands ic and ik. The first three of these ego-pronouns may be used to fill the table with modern ego-pronouns for well-conserved Alpine dialects.

The Ego-pronoun iu m, m iu 8
The inhabitants of the small village Villar-St-Pancrace in the West Alpes between Grenoble and Torino near Brianon are using a strange Ego-pronoun iu m or m iu .

The flag of William I, prince of Orange

In the 16th century William I, prince of Orange, became a leader of the Dutch independence movement against Spain. Based on the arms of his ancestral territory of Orange, William used livery colors of orange, white, and blue. At the siege of Leiden in 1574, soldiers wore those colors on their uniforms, and the popularity of the colors among Dutch nationalists subsequently spread.

The Flag of Columbia9

Francisco de Miranda gave at least two sources of inspiration for the flag of Columbia. In the first source he claims that according to Goethe red is the synthesis of the primary colors yellow and blue. This of course is a contradictio in terminis as a synthesis could not be defined as a primary color. . In a letter written to Count Simon Romanovich Woronzoff (Vorontsov) in 1792, Miranda stated that the colors were based on a theory of primary colours given to him by the German writer and philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Miranda described a late-night conversation which he had with Goethe at a party in Weimar during the winter of 1785. First he explained to me the way the iris transforms light into the three primary colors [] then he proved to me why yellow is the most warm, noble and closest to [white] light; why blue is that mix of excitement and serenity, a distance that evokes shadows; and why red is the exaltation of yellow and blue, the synthesis, the vanishing of light into shadow. It is not that the world is made of yellows, blues and reds; it is that in this manner, as if in an infinite combination of these three colors, we human beings see it. [] A country [Goethe concluded] starts out from a name and a flag, and it then becomes them, just as a man fulfils his destiny. After Miranda later designed his flag based on this conversation, he happily recalled seeing a fresco by Lazzaro Tavarone in the Palazzo Belimbau in Genoa that depicted Christopher Columbus unfurling a similar-colored flag in Veragua during his fourth voyage. In his military diary, Miranda gave another possible source of inspiration: the yellow, blue and red standard of the Burger Guard (Brgerwache) of Hamburg, which he also saw during his travels in Germany.

The PIE-Trinity-Concept in a table

The PIE-Trinity-Concept describes the top-hierarchy of the proto-Indo-European symbolism. The table may also be extended to a few modern items, such as the national Dutch flag. All singular symbolic PIE-trinity-hierarchies would result in the following concept: vowel inside Dyeus vowel inside Dieu vowel inside IOU-piter vowel inside IA (from YHWH) Claudian letter Western Danish dialects Provencal ego-pronoun ieu corresponding to Dieu Y I I I Y I I E E U U

Summary
A PIE-trinity-concept may be reconstructed from the sources divine names such as Dyeus, Dieu, IOU-piter, IAO, the Claudian letter, Plato's Symposium, Homer, Exodus 25:4, 2 Chronicles 3:14, The Parallel Lives by Plutarch, Schoolclass Religion in1954-1955 and the anomaly for the egopronouns near Chur, Switzerland. Except for the Danish concept: the first element seems to be a male symbol, represented by a vowel I, the sun and the color red or blue. the central element seems to be an androgynous or synthesis, respectively divine element, represented by regionally varying vowels (generally E or A, in seldom cases O) and the color purple. the third element seems to be a female symbol, represented by a vowel U and the color blue or red.
