Traditionally Jesus has been depicted in red & blue, the traitor Judas in yellow (at the left in the foreground with his purse in his hands). At the right side maybe also Thomas in yellow with his doubtful finger at his lips. Philippe de Champaigne seems to have been quite aware of the symbolic codes in medieval clothing and painting traditions. In The Annunciation c. 1645, The Visitation, and in The Annunciation, 1644 Mary always has been clothed in red & blue. In The Marriage of the Virgin1 the pregnant bride Mary is painted in red & blue along to her future husband in a yellow garment.

Raphael also applies the same medieval color coding in The Marriage of the Virgin (Raphael, 1504). One of the persons in the foreground breaks an arrow on his knees. It is a symbolic gesture which belongs to ancient wisdom and had been understood as so many other fetishism's contributions.

Archaic Fetishism
Archaic fetishism is an antipodal pole to modern fetishism: the belief that common objects such as colors might be attributed with supernatural powers. Why shouldn't the Coccinellidae have been equipped with supernatural power as well as the ass, the cat or even a common dog? Will we be able to prove these assumptions? In etymology Coccinella septempunctata has been associated with coccum, which in Exodus 25:4 is related to the divine commands in using the red color for the temple's decorations. Therefore in some languages this little red animal has been devoted to God. The bug is a fetish, which had been equipped with supernatural powers, probably for its red color.

The apex
Except for some languages accenting syllables is a mysterious habit, which is uncommon to most users. In written Latin, the apex (plural "apices") is a mark roughly with the shape of an acute accent ( ) which is placed over vowels to indicate that they are long. In a paleographic document written in Roman cursive, I found a sample ( jdicibus) for a word with a genuine apex and another (judicia) without an apex2. The sky-god's name Dyaus, which may be spelled as Dyous or Dyeus as well, uses a vowel core of three long and separated vocals, which must be pronounced individually and in ancient Latin these vowels would all need an apex such as in Ds, which may be spelled as Ds or Ds.

Acute accents
In seldom cases we may find illustrious authors who take the trouble to insert some of these Mothers of west-European reading, such as the Occitan poem Mireio in which the following clearly illustrate how they had to be accentuated: either by an acute accent (), a grave accent () or a circumflex (). The shape of the circumflex was originally a combination of the acute and grave accents (^), as it marked a syllable contracted from two vowels. In appendix 3 - Explaining the generation of ieu-sequences in Provencal dialects the following accentuated iu-, resp. iu-sequences have been documented: IU: Diu, iu, fiu, liura (from: liberare), ciutat, miu, ciutat, viure, escriure, soutiu IU: liura (from: libra)

Ds - Dis
The sky-god's name Ds (or Dis), which may be spelled as Ds (or Dis) or Dis (Ds) as well, uses a vowel core of three long and separated vocals, which must be pronounced individually. The diaeresis mark is sometimes used in English personal first and last names to indicate that two adjacent vowels should be pronounced separately, rather than as a diphthong. Examples include the given names Chlo and Zo, which otherwise might be pronounced with a silent e. To discourage a similar mispronunciation, the mark is also used in the surname Bront. It may be used optionally for words that do not have a morphological break at the diaeresis point, such as nave, Botes, and Nol.

2 Apex (diacritic)

However its use in words such as coperate and renter, previously sometimes found in US English, has been dropped or replaced by the use of a hyphen except in a very few publications-notably The New Yorker.3

Day
The vowels behave like in the Latin word dis (day), in which the e may be marked with a diaeresis mark to indicate that two adjacent vowels should be pronounced separately. The accentuated Spanish word for day is: da (from Latin: dies), which clearly separates the vowels I and A. In this paper I will follow the New Yorker for this rule and spell the sky god's name as Dis, Dis or Dis. This will make the divine name three-folded, in which the vowels I, A and U need to be pronounced. In analogy the Greek god Zeus should be written Zes to indicate the gap between the e and the u. Jupiter, which originated from IOU-piter, should be written I-piter to indicate the gap between the I, O and the U.

Jove
In a similar sense JOVE has to be understood as I. Je therefore simply may be considered as an original form of IOU-piter. Without diaeresis marks modern languages provoke mispronunciations. Especially English does not help us to correctly pronounce vocals by reading the corresponding written vowels. Pronouncing the word Zes is different from deuce (devil, twice,...), which in spite of its religious roots is being written without diaeresis mark.

Youth
YOUTH originated from Latin IUVENTUS, which suggest that we should consider the archaic spelling of youvth as yvth.

IAU, IEU and IOU-cores


The real goal for this study in archaic fetishism is the search for the IAU, IEU and IOU-cores in archaic dialects. I preferred to search for these elements in some Savoyard and Provencal dialects, but in some examples I will also use some other languages. The divine name largely consists of vowels, because only vocals may be extended to great lengths and spoken or sung at a very loud intensity. Originally the primary vowels had been restricted to I, A, U, but later their number has been expanded up to 5 (AEIOU4) or 7 (5 respectively in capital letters 6), or even more. Therefore all alphabetical vowels (including ,H and Y or ) should be considered as potential fetishes. The consonants are what they are named: consounding start and stop elements. Most important words do contain IAU or long sequences of vowels.

3 Diaeresis (diacritic) 4 AEIOU, or A.E.I.O.U., was a symbolic device utilized by the Habsburg emperors. Emperor Frederick III (1415 93), who had a fondness for mythical formulae, habitually signed buildings and objects with the acronym 5 AEEIOYO in the Nag Hammadi Library cited in Magic Words: A Dictionary 6 AEEIOYO Alpha, Epsilon, Eta, Iota, Omicron, Upsilon, Omega , from Magic Words: A Dictionary

Transmutations
Not all words with IAU are based on the original IAU-core of Dys or IEU of Dis. Some of these words had been generated by eliminating letters and/or transforming consonants into vowels such as in the (French) sample: VIVRE > viure > viure, in which the v transmuted into u and and had been inserted between I and U.

IA
In the Greek alphabet the elementary triad had been defined as I, A, , which by the way is the Church Fathers' translation of the Tetragrammaton YHWH7.

Primary Colors
The primary colors red,blue, yellow and green also belong to the elementary fetishes, which as the divine commands for the raw dyes ( the red coccum and the purple murex snail) to be used in producing temple's decorations have been listed in Exodus 25:4. The third color has been mistranslated in translations and interpretations. In modern Bibles the third color is defined as blue, but a few centuries ago some translators interpreted the color as yellow. Strange as it may seem this error has been existing for so many centuries. Yellow is correlating to the verb to jell. Originally jelling must have been positive symbols, but in the course of time yellow's character turned to negativity.

Runes
In the Futharc evolution the -symbol rune has been defined twice, and the elder of both runes also represents the long -vowel we find in the IU-core. The equivalence of I and , which both have been used for ego-pronouns in English respectively in Scandinavian dialects, suggests to consider this *(h)waz/*ei(h)waz-rune as the most important of all runic symbols. This link between I and might have caused the English language to use I (or Y) as an egopronoun. The most important runic inscription is the AIFIK-rune,8 which - by the way - starts with an Avowel and ends with an -vowel. The striking number of vowels in all derivative entries is illustrative. The F-consonant sometimes behaves like a V/U and a double U (W) and maybe considered as a semi-vowel in Anglo-Saxon: euwin, euwinik, euwik, ewic (eternal). In runic inscriptions eternity has been symbolized by a sequence of vowels. In Lapland eternity has been symbolized by the winter night.

Correlations
These samples demonstrate the correlation between the divine names, the words for day, Thursdays and ego-pronouns. Also the words for justice, piousness, youth, yoke and joy belong to the words with traces of etymological fetishism. These correlations are based on fetishism in which a person tries to relate his ego (and some of his elementary principles) to the divine Creator's attributes. It is a simplified creation in a singular word (the ego-pronoun).

Runes
The easiest access to fetishes may be found in the runes, which as isolated items may be telling their own story. The Elder Futhark is the oldest form of the runic alphabets and has been in use from the 2nd to 8th centuries. The alphabet consists of twenty-four runes, often arranged in three groups of eight runes called an tt9. Especially the vowels my be considered as special elements. First of all I concentrate on the archaic vowels I, A, U and .

I, A, U
U = Ur (u, Ur, ?*ruz), represented by an upside-down V A = Ansuz (a, *ansuz) later representing other phonemes such as /o/ 10. The shape of the rune is likely from Neo-Etruscan a ( ), like Latin A ultimately from Phoenician aleph11. I = Is (i, "ice", *saz), represented by a vertical rod similar to I

IO for Yew12 ?
It might be a good idea to also investigate the special case , which symbolized a great number of important topics such as eternity, law, matrimony, the ego-pronoun, etc... 13 : This rune had been included in the Elder Futhark as well": 14 = Yew ( or / o , "yew-tree, *(h)waz/*ei(h)waz ) This Yew-rune is sometimes associated with the World tree Yggdrasil, which, imagined as an ash in Norse mythology, may formerly have been a yew or an oak. The Proto-Germanic for "oak" was another vowel: *aiks (PIE *aigs, likely cognate to Greek krat-aigon), the name of another futhorc rune, ac, which has, however, no Elder Futhark predecessor. It is commonly transliterated as or , or, in reconstructions of Proto-Germanic, 2. Its phonetic value at the time of the invention of the Futhark (2nd century) was not necessarily a diphthong, but possibly a long vowel somewhere between [i] and [e] or [], continuing Proto-Indo-European language *ei 15. Another source even manages to add the old English oh-rune ( o) to these transcripts. The overall transliteration may even have been a vowel-sequence such as IAE or AEI..., (or including eo) even AEIO which might correlate to the Greek word or aion (etymologically related with aei on, however, that is: ever being [in Greek: ]).

9 The Scandinavian clan or tt was a social group based on common descent or on the formal acceptance into the group at a ing. Runology defines the following tt-sets (row of 8 runes): (1) fuarkgw, (2) hnijpzs, (3) tbemlod). 10 Runic transliteration and transcription 11 Source: Ansuz 12 Taxus baccata is the longest-living plant in Europe. Yew is also the wood of choice for producing longbows. 13 (The Creation Legend encoded in a Singular Vowel) 14 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. 15 Source: *(h)waz/*ei(h)waz

A O, for Ash, A
The Anglo-Saxon futhorc split the Elder Futhark a rune into three independent runes due to the development of the vowel system in Anglo-Frisian. These three runes are: s (transliterated o), sc "ash" (transliterated , "spear" ), ac "oak" (transliterated a).

This suggests to consider the O and E-vowels as secondary symbolic elements and minor fetishes. In the Futharc evolution the -symbol rune has been defined twice, and the elder of both runes also represents the long -vowel we find in the IU-core. The equivalence of I and , which both have been used for ego-pronouns in English respectively in Scandinavian dialects, suggests to consider this *(h)waz/*ei(h)waz-rune as the most important of all runic symbols. This link between I and might have caused the English language to use I (or Y) as an egopronoun.

Mythology
In Norse mythology, the World Tree Yggdrasil is commonly held to be an ash tree, and the first man, Ask, was formed from an ash tree16. ( Ask and Embla)

Elder Futhark
The Proto-Germanic vowel system was asymmetric and unstable. The difference between the long vowels expressed by e and (sometimes transcribed as *1 and *2) were lost. The Younger Futhark continues neither, lacking a letter expressing e altogether17. The Old English names of all 24 runes of the Elder Futhark are preserved in the Old English rune poem, compiled in the 8th or 9th century. Some of the vowels are the runes: E = Ehwaz, Horse (e, *ehwaz) O = Os (o/, "mouth", "Odin"),

Dotted runes u, k and i are transliterated as y, g and e.

Extra runes are vowels


Furthermore, the Old English rune poem gives the names of five runes which are Anglo-Saxon innovations and have no counterpart in Scandinavian or continental tradition. All of these extra runes are vowels: Ac (a, "oak"), sc (, "ash"), Yr (y , ??), Ior and Ear (ea).

16 Source: Ash tree 17 Source: Ehwaz

The AIFIK-rune
The most important runic inscription is the AIFIK-rune, 18 which - by the way - starts with an Avowel and ends with an -vowel. The striking number of vowels in all derivative entries is illustrative. The F-consonant sometimes behaves like a V/U and a double U (W) and maybe considered as a semi-vowel in Anglo-Saxon: euwin, euwinik, euwik, ewic (eternal). Eternity has been symbolized by a sequence of vowels. The English (all-vowel) word ay (always, probably derived from the Scandinavian 19, which also in dialects is being used as an ego-pronoun) may have been used as a root for the ego-pronoun (I) and for confirmations (aye yes) or negations (nay no) as well. In Lapland the night and eternity may be correlating because in fact in the wintertime Lapland's nights are lasting eternally. This however will only be valid for the nights in Lapland. eternal, Icelandic: 20 (always), a or (ai, adi, ad) to last, fi (time, lifetime), Swedish, Danish: evig (eternal), Gothic: aivs (time, a long time), aiveins (eternal) Old High German: io (always), ewa (a long time, contract, law, matrimony), Anglo-Saxon: , ava, euwin, euwinik, euwik, ewic (eternal), English: ay (<missing explanation> Always; ever.), Greek: (<missing explanation> always), Lapland: eke (the elder Uncle), ekewes (eternal), ik (eternal), iko (at night), ija (the night), ekked (evening). Is it true that eternity and Night and Ragnarckr are correlating?) Aifik Jufur, Eternal God! Lapland: Ekewes Jubmel.

Tir, Tyr, Tiw


Another interesting rune is Tir. The Tir rune appears to have adopted the Scandinavian form ( Tr, the Anglo-Saxon cognate being Tiw). However, tr exists as a noun in Old English, with a meaning of "glory, fame honor". Perhaps involving the original meaning of Tiw, the god associated with fame and honor. Remarkable is the spelling in various languages, suggesting that Y may have been derived from or equivalent to IU: Icelandic Tiur, Swedish Tjur, Danish Tyr.

Younger Futhark
In the Younger Futhark, which has 16 letters, they are divided into three groups. The Icelandic tradition calls 1. the first group (f, u, , , r and k) "Freyr's tt", 2. the second group (h, n, i, a and s) "Hagal's tt" and 3. the third group (t, b, m, l and R) Tyrs tt"21.

The divine sky god Dyaus


Studying some Savoyard dialects 22 I found a number of interesting etymological features. Based on the sky-god's name Dyaus I started searching the Dictionnaire Franais Savoyard for variants of the vowel triads. The dictionary provides us with lots of local variants, which have been caused by the multiple remote locations in mountainous areas. The Savoyard dialects are also rather old: The antiquated character of the Savoyard patois is striking. One can note it not only in phonetics and morphology, but also in the vocabulary, where one finds numerous words and directions that clearly disappeared from French23. In French the separated pronunciation of subsequent vowels (i-a-u, i-o-u or i-e-u) seems to be more abundant than in other languages. Scholars have been investigating how these spellings developed in French dialects. An overview is given in appendix 3. The transfers EU -> IEU differ from I -> IU -> IEU, because the EU-combination in dem and mem had been originated as religious fetishes, whereas other vowel sequences have been developing according to other mechanisms.

Dis, Dieu, Djo, Dju, Dz, Dzu...


The variants for the divine name Dieu have been listed in the Dictionnaire Franais Savoyard as follows (in which the most important variant has been highlighted in capital letters and all irrelevant information has been skipped for clarity24): DIEU nm.: djeu, dj, djou, dju, djyu, dyeu, dye, dyo, dyou, DYU, dz, dzhyu, dzu. A1)) le bon Dieu : L'BON ~ dzhyunm. (081) / dzu /DYU/ Dyeu / Dyo. A2)) Dieu (dans les jurons25) : dyou, gu, gue, goura, ki, dzo, dzola, ble. A3)) l'enfant Dieu : l'fan Dyeunm. (228), l'fan Dyu (001). --R.1------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- anc. hindou : Dyaus [dieu du ciel] / g. Zeus/ l. Jupiter[pre de Jov] / norrois26 Tyr. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Savoyard dialects prefer the spelling Dyu. Of course the remarkable DZ-variants dz, dzhyu, dzu, may refer to Greek colonists in Marseille. The origin of Gu, gue, goura may be unclear and correlating to God. Blue simply seems to be associated in the sounding: Nom de Dieu Nom de Bleu. I selected and applied some of the vowel combinations as valuable search strings in the same dictionary to trace correlations with other words. The first hit turned out to be the "Ladybird" and "ladybug", which in French had been devoted to God ( bte Bon Dieu)27. God and daylight seem to be interrelated: BON-DIEU (LE), nm. Bon-Dy (L'), Bon-Dz (Le), adyu[adieu].

The applications seem to be restricted to vulgar words. The old norrois language is a medieval Scandinavian dialect . Coccinellidae

The possessive pronouns


Some pronouns (especially the possessive pronouns 28) have been structured according to the divine names of the sky-god. That is: their vowels are lengthy and isolated. Therefore their spelling should be considered as to provide the words with diaeresis marks: meus mes (in French dialects: MEUM > meu > miu29) suus sus eius eus huius huc eus ei

Words with diaeresis marks


I reconstructed some of the words with diaeresis marks: dis ( derived from diu day30) Duts (German) and Dits ( derived from dit the people, and diutisc) duden ( derived from dit the people, and diutisc)

Days of the week


The Savoyard calender had been explained as follows31: d'lion: lundi (Monday) d'mre: mardi (Tuesday) d'mcre: mercredi (Wednesday) de diu: jeudi (Thursday) d'vindre: vendredi (Friday) d'sonde: samedi (Saturday) d'minge: dimanche32 (Sunday)

Thursday had been devoted to the local deity Diu, which had been derived from Dyaus. The Savoyard dialects however preferred the spelling variant Dyu. JEUDI nm. DeDYU, djou, dju, dezyeu, deje, dezye, d(e)zhou, d(e)zhu, dzhyu, dzou, dzye. A1)) le jeudi saint33: l(e) gran d(e)dyu [le grand jeudi], le dzhu s, l'dzhyu sin. And the Savoyard words day obviously also correlate to the divine names:

Pious
The word for pious will also be related to the ieu-words: PIEUX35 (Latijn: pious).

Curses
In curses we may find a number of words like gu, gue, which may be interpreted as good God (bon dieu). And also good day bonjour has been identified as a modification of dyou ( the good Dyous). JURON36 B2)) bon ~ dyu / dyou / zou / gu / gue [bon dieu], bon Dzu (083), bonjou(r) [bonjour] (dformation de bon dyou), non de bonjou[nom de bonjour], bont [bont] (dformation de bon Dye [bon dieu]); bon dyou d(e) bon dyou-n(228) ; vin dyou(001c,228), vin dyu, vin jou, vin zou, vin Dyou d(e) vin Dyou, mile dyou; bon san, bon Dyu d'bon Dyu, bon gu, d(e) bon gu [bon dieu de dieu = bon sang de bon sang], bon gue d'bon gue, bon dyou d(e) bon dyou (228), bont de bont (juron surtout fminin).

35 pious 36 curses

The ego-pronoun (JE, d, do, dye, dzeu, dzou, zde, ze, zou...)
The Je-words also include the ego-pronoun, which in a great number of languages and French dialects correlates with the divine name Dieu as well as with the word Thursday ( Jeudi) and the words for day: JE, J', pr. pers. sujet atone 1re p. sing.: DE, de (deu), d, d / d, do, dye, dzeu, dzou, zde, ze, zhe, zhou, zou, zounh.

Of all these variants the Savoyard dialects prefer De, which does not really correlate to Ego. Instead we might think the ego-pronoun possibly is to be related to: Dyu, Dieu or Dyaus, especially in the spelling variants: dye, dzeu, dzou. These correlations between the divine name and the ego-pronoun may be illustrated by some samples: In his poem Mirio the author Frdric Mistral uses the ego-pronoun Iu translation: I and Diu for God37. Antoine Hippolyte Bigot (1825 - 1897) composed a poem Fraternita in which he applied the word Yiou for the ego-pronoun I and Dou for the divine name God38. In another version of the poem the author however used Ieu as the ego-pronoun I and Dieu for God. Apart from French dialects the neighboring languages also provide us with similar correlations39: In the Sardinian dialect Campidanese the ego-pronoun du is quite similar to the divine name God Deu40. In Romanian language the ego-pronoun eu is a subset of vowels from the divine name Zeu. The same mechanism seems to rule over Italian io, respectively Dio, in Sicily iu, resp. Diu, in Sppanish yo, resp. Dios, in Portuguese eu and Deus. In Romansh the ego-pronoun is "jau, for which the people name themselves Jauer, which obviously correlates to the PIE-name for the sky-God Dyaus. In Sursilvan dialect jeu relates to the sky-god Deus. Of course in analogy to Dis, Dis and Dis these ego-pronouns probably should be spelled j respectively j or j). These correlations had been based on archaic fetishism in which man These correlations are based on fetishism in which a person tries to relate his ego (and some of his elementary principles) to the divine Creator's attributes. It is a simplified creation in a singular word (the ego-pronoun). In The Ego-pronouns and Divine Names in Savoy French Dialects the local variants of the egopronouns have been correlated to the divine name.

Siu I have been


Sometimes the ego-pronoun has been integrated in a verb, e.g. iu in Siu: Sample: Siu nascu Maiano, en 1830 I have been born in Maiano, in 183041

Medieval color definitions


Red
In the Middle Ages the Cochineal has been defined as the biblical source for the red dye in the Temple's decorations42. The lice named coccum probably have been misinterpreted as identical or to the equally red 7-dotted Coccinella septempunctata, which is colored in the correct red hue. In some of the Savoyard dialects the Coccinella43 has been named (God's animal bte Bon Dieu): COCCINELLE nf. ( manteau rouge ponctu de noir): bt' Bon Dyu [bte Bon Dieu] , btse bon dzu; btche bon Dyo.

This devotion may have been inspired on the biblical translation (such as in Exodus 25:4), in which the Temple's decorations had to be dyed with coccum44. Both the coccum and the Coccinella had been defined as fetishes, in which the color red related the animals to the divinity.

Blue and yellow


The archaic and medieval sources are well-known to have been infected with translation errors 45. Especially the color blue has been misinterpreted as yellow. The cause may have been the hyacinth's definition, which had been considered as yellow instead of blue. In the hyacint's images we indeed may identify some yellow or even rose variants. The oldest sources for misinterpretations are the Delftse bijbel published 1477, introducing yellow in parallel to blue well before Luther's translation, and the Liesveltbijbel (1542), derived from Luther's Bible, published in Antwerpes, replacing blue by yellow. Delftse bijbel (1477), translated from a Historic Bible (around 1360): [3]Ende dit ist dat ghi ontfaen sult. Gout ende siluer ende coper [4]ende zide blaeu root gheel46 ende twewarf gheuerwet ende wit vlas. ende haer van gheyten. [5]ende weders vellen gheroot Ende blaeu vellen. ende hout van sethim... Liesveltbijbel (1542) published at Antwerpes, and translated from the Luther Bible: 3Ende dit is dat hefoffer dat ghy van hem nemen sult, gout, siluer, metael, 4geel side, schaerlaken, rosetroot, witte ghetweernde side, geyten hayr, 5roode rams vellen, hemelblau vellen, vueren hout,.. Correct however is the translation in the Leuven Bible (1548) published at Leuven, authorized by the Church and translated from the Vulgata: [3]Ende dit es tghene dat ghy nemen moet, Gout, ende siluer, ende metael [4]hemels blau sijde, purpur sijde, ende roode sijde twee-mael gheuerwet, ende wit lijnwaet, gheyten hayr, [5]ende rams vellen root gheuerwet, ende ianthinen vellen, ende sethim hout,

Exodus 25:4 In Italian the animal is named coccinelle Analysis of the Translation Errors in Exodus 25-4 Analysis of the Translation Errors in Exodus 25-4 Dit is een merkwaardige vertaling. Geel is kennelijk toegevoegd na rood in plaats van purper.

The original source is the Vulgata 4e-5e JH. (reconstructed): 3 haec sunt autem quae accipere debetis aurum et argentum et aes 4 hyacinthum et purpuram coccumque bis tinctum et byssum pilos caprarum 5 et pelles arietum rubricatas pelles ianthinas et ligna setthim In fact the colors do not really matter as much as the prescribed materials (the hyacinth, the purple snail and the coccum). The coccum however may also have been misinterpreted as the Coccinella. This leads us to the question what may have happened to both other color sources hyacinth et purple. The purple problem seems to be solved by Bolinus brandaris (which had been named murex by the Romans) and the Hexaplex trunculus47.

Jaune
The French word for the color yellow is jaune. In the dialect the word dzono correlates with dzu (God) and of all French color words Jaune probably correlates best to Diau, resp. Dieu. Additionally the weekday Jeudi (Thursday) and the corresponding divine name Jeu (Dyeus, YHVH, IU-piter) seems to be related to jaune. JAUNE adj., roux : dzono / zhono / ZHNO, -A, -E. In the Savoyard dialects however jaune is not really yellow, but reddish ( roux), that is: more or less an orange-like copper color, which might be used to define reddish hair. In fact yellow developed to become to a negative symbol, which had been used for traitors 48. After the Renaissance yellow is to become a negative symbol for non-Christians (e.g. for Jews) as well49. Judas will often be depicted with reddish hair - jaune (red)50. Other attributes are his purse, the yellow garment, the isolated seat at the other side of the table, the missing nimbus. These are the five signals, which had been used to educate the illiterate people in medieval churches. Yellow is the color for avarice and cowardice51. In The Kiss of Judas, painted by Giotto di Bondone, Judas is wearing a yellow garment52. The words yellow and yell are correlating. Yellow (French: jaune, Italian: giallo...) is a yelling color53, which might explain the religious background of pronouncing a response to the divine name54 once in a year at the Feast of Trumpets55 including the Day of Atonement56. During the day the High Priest would pronounce the name of Yahweh ten times in total and each time the priests standing close by would make themselve prone upon the ground and the congregation would shout out, "Blessed be the name of God, Holy is His name and may his Kingdom be for now and forever!"

Teruah57 is usually defined to be a long blast with three peeks during the blowing. There is some controversy over the exact sound that is to be made but the shofar was blown throughout Yom Teruah58.

The Dutch word paars is correlating with the Savoyard dialect word pers (blue, azure). A1)) bleu, azur : pers, -e, -e.59 This corresponds to J. Vercoullie (1925), Beknopt etymologisch woordenboek der Nederlandsche taal60: paars bijv., Mnl. peers, uit Fr. pers, van Mlat. persum (-us) = perzikkleurig. The Savoyard dialect however does translate the word pers to blue, azure, which cannot be related to peaches-colored. In the end all of these color definitions are about as unreliable as Bible translations.

The colors of Tyre


In November 2012 I studied the dye tradings of Tyre 61 and the Hebrew definition for blue, which has been investigated by Clarke in Clarke's Commentary on the Bible62: Blue - techeleth, generally supposed to mean an azure or sky color; rendered by the Septuagint , and by the Vulgate hyacinthum, a sky-blue or deep violet. Purple - argaman, a very precious color, extracted from the purpura or murex, a species of shell-fish, from which it is supposed the famous Tyrian purple came, so costly, and so much celebrated in antiquity. See this largely described, and the manner of dyeing it, in Pliny, Hist. Nat., lib. ix., c. 60-65, edit. Bipont. Scarlet - tolaath, signifies a worm, of which this coloring matter was made; and, joined with shani, which signifies to repeat or double, implies that to strike this color the wool or cloth was twice dipped: hence the Vulgate renders the original coccum bis tinctum, "scarlet twice dyed;" and to this Horace refers, Odar., lib. ii., od. 16, v. 35. This leaves little or no chance to allow yellow as a correct translation for hyacinth. This however does not imply yellow never has been a fetish element. In fact gold, silver and copper also belonged to the divine commands for decorations. In Lamentation for Tyre Ezekiel describes the important export goods and symbolic colors of the archaic global trading. Th most popular colors were purple, red and sky blue, and all of these were religious symbols, or to be more precise fetishes. The colors provided the bearers and owners of garments divine powers. Some of the symbolism may have survived in the imperial Roman prescriptions of Nero, who ordered the exclusivity of purple to the members of the royal family. Red, blue and white are still the most popular flag symbols. Equally red and blue are the symbols to identify male and female elements63. In order to investigate some of the aspects of these colors in Greek and Roman society I also checked the The Parallel Lives by Plutarch64 (100 AD). From this documentation we may understand the colors' symbolism. The Greeks and Romans had reserved purple for their highest ranks65. Red had been reserved as a fetish for male power and authority. Ezekiel 27 documents the trading relations and trading goods, for which Tyre had been famous. Trading included gems, silver, iron, tin, lead, gold, slaves and copper vessels, horses, riders, mules, ivory and ebony. For all trading partners the mayor trading goods have been specified.

Sounds66
In French dialects various sounds are using words with IAU and IOU-cores. The usage suggests to consider the animals, which are able to utter such sounds, might have been considered as fetishes with supernatural powers.

The IAU-bray67 of Donkeys


According to Gerald Massey the Egyptians named a donkey a Iu, Aiu, or Aai, in which the elementary diphthong IA has been encoded, which in archaic eras had been identified 68 as the sevenfold vocal sequence. From: Ancient Egypt The Light of the World (Vol. 1-page 506) by Gerald Massey The ass and the young sun-god also were both named Iu, and Iu was the son of Atum-Ra, the ass being his zotype. Iu, as Egyptian, is represented by Iao in Phoenician and in Hebrew. Clement Alexander, who was an Egyptian, spells the name of Jehovah as Iau. Thus, Iu is the ass in Egyptian, Iao is a name of the god with an asss head, and Iau is Jehovah, the god of the Jews and the Christians also. Epiphanius asserts that the deity Sabaoth has the face of an ass. He calls it the gnostic Sabaoth. But Sabaoth was also the Jewgod, or god Iu, who was known by the name of Iao-Sabaoth. In fact IU is the basic vocal combination in the name of the Roman supreme deity Jupiter, which also had been identified inside YHWH. For this reason the ass is a holy fetish, which is enabled to utter nothing else but the prototype of the divine vowel combination69: The Egyptians call the donkey by the name of Iu, Aiu, and Aai, three forms of one primary diphthong in which the seven vowel-sounds originated. Aiu or Iu with the A protheic shows the process of accretion or agglutination which led to the word Aiu, Iao, Ioa, Iahu becoming extended to the seven vowels finally represented in the fully drawn-out name of Jehovah, which was written with the seven vowels by the Gnostics. The animal with his loud voice and long-continued braying was an unparalleled prototype of the Praiser and Glorifier of the Gods or Nature-Powers. He uttered his vowel-sounds at the bottom and top of the octave which had only to be filled in for the Ass to become one of the authors of the musical scale. In China the immortals are riding donkeys70. The donkey was the symbol of the Egyptian sun god Ra as well as the Greek god Dionysus. The bray of an ass may be heard at a distance of several kilometers and signalizes the status of the braying animal.

Mew / meowing
Other animals which (in French spelling) may be uttering the basic vowel sequence (m)IAOU are the cats and generally all Felidae: MIAOU onom., cri du chat, cri du chat en rut : myou // onom. Mo.

Piauler (to twitter, to beep, to scream) and vyou (to howl)


The correlation between the yelling color Jaune and English yellow (with the screaming yell) and Dutch geel (with a yelling gil) have been discussed already. In French dialects however we will find comparable variants of these expressions. Twittering and crying applies IOU-based words: PIOULER vi. fl. => Piauler. VYOU onom., viou, vyouvyou, viouviou, (bruit que font les pneus d'une auto qui prend un virage toute allure) : vyouvyou. Vyou and viou are based on the screaming sounds caused by slipping tires:

Justice
This category includes several IU-words. Correlations exist to the the divine names for jujo en dzudz (describing the judge). The Iuio-variant even is a genuine vowel-sequence. Al of these words include Jupiter's IU-core, but initially rely on the threefold IOU-core. Of course the sky god (Dyaus, Jupiter, resp. YHWH) also had to be considered as the master judge.

Appendix 3: Explaining the generation of ieu-sequences.


Ford's investigation116 concentrates on the evolution of the singular IEU-sequences in Provencal dialects. The EU -> IEU sequence differs from the I -> IU -> IEU-sequence, because the EUcombination in dem and mem relates to religious fetishes and contrasts to some other constructs which had been generated by transitions of consonants and vowel insertions. Initial JU-combinations have been copied in a rather unmodified way: Justitia Justicia. Unfortunately Ford's paper does not explain how the Provencal ego-pronoun iu has been developed from earlier roots (ego or alternatively Diu).

The transition of the sequences I -> IU -> IEU


I tonic or pretonic frequently combined with a vocalized I or V giving the diphthong iu in early Provencal. About the 13th century this diphthong passed to the triphthong117 ieu (Grand-gent 32): FILUM > fiu > fiu LIBERARE > liurar > liura LIBRA > liura liura CIVITATEM > ciutat > ciutat

Rem. This change may have been due to the influence of the great number of triphthongs in ieu coming from forms like Old Prov. greu where the e diphthongized before u giving grieu. A different explanation is proposed by E. H. Tuttle in Mod. Phil., Vol. XVI, no. II, p. 152.

The transition of the sequences EU -> IEU


Latin i and u survive if they immediately follow an accented vowel: MEI > mei(miei) > mi MEUM > meu > miu DEUM > deu > diu

The transitions V -> U


V followed by a consonant vocalizes to u: CIVITATEM > ciutat > ciutat VIVRE > viure > viure

The transitions S Es
S initial followed by a consonant develops a prosthetic E in Folk Latin (160 ). This survived in Rhodanien:
SCRIBERE > escriure > escriure

116 Full text of "Modern Provenal phonology and morphology studied in the language of Frederic Mistral" (1921) published by Harry Egerton Ford, Ph,D. 117 In fact it is not a triphthong if all vocals are pronounced individually.

The disappearance of the letter B


B followed by other consonants usually disappears either by assimilation or vocalization: SUBTILEM > sobtil(sotil) > soutiu
