Words that survive  - iii

P.S.  For the dutch readers ( for the flemish ones not really necessary : bankvijs ) i will give a

         translation...well...i guess you  have understood bankvijs already.)

( So, this tool is named after the twining of vine-stems. Life is good!)

REFLECTIONS ON THE ANCIENTY OF A QWERTYKEYBOARDSIGN *

                                                              



  

EME

                                                                                                                        
AN                                                                                                                                                            


On the qwertykeyboard an ancient sign resides, right between & and (, U and F9, I and F8 :
*.
This 5,000 year old Kiengiric writing sign was -and still is- named AN and meant  Sky,Heaven,
Grain ear, Date spadix ( fleshy spike of tiny flowers -hm....so AN could be called a spike-sign)
In short : the origin of * is *.
Meaning sky or cluster of small flowers.



(The people who lived in the region Kiengir, were called Sumerûm by their neighbours, the
Akkadians, and that is the name they became known by.
The Kiengirics called their language Emegir, Eme : tongue, language)




* Ancienty is an ancient word, in the dictionaries marked with Obs. obsolete (oops!: obs.). If not for the dictionaries
   the word would have passed away into oblivion.
   Note: one sentence, an expired word and a newly born one.





P.S. : For the Kiengiric/Sumerian dictionary from the Pennsilvania University, google ePSD.
