Sacred Phonemes

pronoun of the first Person
singular

Ever since I first enjoyed reading Mirèio1and identified the

miraculous keywords2 iéu in the Provencal pronoun iéu and in
the divine name Diéu a strange, pious feeling is being triggered
in hearing or reading these sacred phonemes – it is the respect
for a 6000 year old inscription on ancient excavated potsherds.
The Ancients of Day3 described the creation of man as a
moulding procedure, in which God created an Adam Cadmon
(symbolized by the personal pronoun iéu) from an image Diéu.
They literally developed the idea of a creation from one
singular word Diéu which has been used as a mould for a
complete dictionary.

“The Old Ones” – yes, but is it true they should be translated as the
Ancients of Dyaus ?
Sure, the PIE-language has been deteriorated, but some of the
ancients words may be reconstructed. The Rosetta-stone for the
PIE-reconstruction may be found in the following stanzas from
Mirèio:

Stanza in Provencal language

iéu la vese , aquelo branqueto ,
E sa frescour me fai lingueto !
iéu vese, i ventoulet, boulega dins lou cèu
Sa ramo e sa frucho inmourtalo...,
Bèu Diéu, Diéu ami, sus lis alo
De nosto lengo prouvençalo ,
Fai que posque avera la branco dis aucèu !

Translation (French → English)4

Methinks I see yon airy little bough :
It mocks me with it's freshness even now ;
The light breeze lifts it, and it waves on high
Fruitage and foliage that cannot die.
Help me, dear God, on our Provençal speech,
To soar until the birds' own home I reach !

Having identified the male i the female u and the androgynous

é-symbol in these words I started an analysis for other sacred
words including the keyword iéu and its derivatives. Initially
the ancient peoples merely used phonemes in their languages.

only be reconstructed from our written manuscripts.
In the Middle age the most influential scientists must have been
the Rabbis Rashi and Rhasbam, who at their visits in Troyes
(France) and Mainz and Worms (Germany) may have had the
most powerful impact in forming a suitable French and
German spelling for the sacred words. Some of the spellings
may also have swapped to the British language and dialects.

The following word list is merely a sample overview and may

be extended at any length...
In order to simplify the identification of the male i the female u
and the androgynous é-symbol these fundamentals will be
coloured in the following text.

1 Moulding the sacred words
Both the most respected rabbis Rashi5 and Rashbam – living in
medieval France - expressed the idea of moulding human
beings iéu “like coins” from a divine hologram6 Diéu.
Strange as it may seem, the most respected medieval Bible
interpretor and commentator Rahsi describes the androgynous
creation legend in creating a singular being which was both
male and female and which was subsequently divided into two
beings – just like Adam Cadmon. His grandson Rashbam
repeated Rashi's idea: God included the woman in the man
and separated them later.
From these most respectful authorities I expect a severe
influence and impact on French spelling and French
dictionaries. Probably Rashi has been influencing the monks
who illuminated the medieval Bibles with the standard
androgynous symbols red & blue. Rashi and Rashbam may
have been responsible for the French spelling in the centuries
following the 12th century.

Rashi
Rashi7 was a medieval French rabbi was famed as the author of
the first comprehensive commentary on the Talmud, as well as
a comprehensive commentary on the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible).
He is considered the "father" of all commentaries that followed
on the Talmud (i.e., the Baalei Tosafot) and the Tanakh (i.e.,
Ramban, Ibn Ezra, Ohr HaChaim, et al.).

Rashi was an only child born at Troyes, Champagne, in
northern France. His mother's brother was Simon the Elder,
Rabbi of Mainz. Shimon was a disciple of Rabbeinu Gershom
Meor HaGolah, who died that same year. On his father's side,
Rashi has been claimed to be a 33rd-generation descendant of
Yochanan Hasandlar, who was a fourth-generation descendant
of Gamaliel the Elder, who was reputedly descended from the
royal house of King David. In his voluminous writings, Rashi
himself made no such claim at all. The main early rabbinical
source about his ancestry, Responsum No. 29 by Solomon
Luria, makes no such claim either.

Rashi's Genesis (1100 AD)

“God as Judge, alone without the angels, created the human
being, by hand, in a mold which was like the mold with which
a seal is made or like the die from which a coin is produced,
and which had been specially crafted for the human being. In a
mold which was a hologram image of God, God created the
human being. One being which was both male and female and
which was subsequently divided into two beings, God created
them” 8 .

Rashbam9
He was born in the vicinity of Troyes, in around 1085 in France
to his father Meir ben Shmuel and mother Yocheved, daughter
of Rashi. He was the older brother of the Tosafists Isaac ben
Meir (Rivam) and Jacob ben Meir (Rabbeinu Tam), and a
colleague of Rabbi Joseph Kara.

Like his maternal grandfather, the Rashbam was a biblical
commentator and Talmudist. He learned from Rashi and from
Isaac ben Asher ha-Levi (Riva). He was the teacher of his
brother, Rabbeinu Tam. His method of interpretation differed
from that of his grandfather.
Thus Rashbam (on Genesis i. 5) maintained that the day began
at dawn and not from the previous sunset (as later Jewish
custom assumed). This contrasts to the ancient Celtic idea as
described by Julius Caesar, who claims that the Gauls
considered the days as successors of the nights10.
All the Gauls assert that they are descended from the
god Dis, and say that this tradition has been handed
down by the Druids. For that reason they compute the
divisions of every season, not by the number of days,
but of nights; they keep birthdays and the beginnings of
months and years in such an order that the day follows
the night.
Caesar however referred to the idea of Dis as a deity of the
dark underworld.

Rashbam's Genesis (1170 AD)

God said, 'Let us make humanity in our angelic image, like us
in wisdom. The humans shall rule the fish of the sea, the birds
of the heaven, the domestic animals, and all the earth, as well
as the creeping things which creep over the earth'. God created
humanity in the angelic image; in the image of the angels, God
created humanity; God included the woman in the man and
separated them later11.

2 In Search for the iéu-keywords
The Provencal language seems to be the best preserved of all
languages in the field of the sacred iéu-, iou- and iau-cores,
but Provencal is not as easily accessible as French, so I decided
to start the analysis in French.
Indeed a great number of the iéu-keywords may be found in a
standard French dictionary, by simply search for iéu from the
second postion in the word. Some may be considered “religious
sacred words”, others may be containing an accidentally
chosen iéu-core.
Essentially Jeudi is be interpreted as Iéu's day (or even Diéu's
day), which may also refer to Tiéusday, Tuesday or Tui's day.
