"Abraham was the son of Terah and the name Terah (Tera) was found among the rulers of the Anu people who inhabited the Upper Nile and migrated widely between 15,000 and 10,000 years ago.... The Anu (Annu or Ainu) were aboriginal peoples of the Upper Nile. They were the first rulers of the Lower Nile. One of their sanctuaries was called Annu, the original name for Heliopolis, to which the great pyramids were aligned. The Anu were seafarers and had a written language which they introduced to the lands where they traveled and settled. The first peoples of Japan were Anu. The Anu alphabet became the basis for the Hebrew and Japanese alphabets." from Biblical Anthropology blog
I find this credible, based on the commonality of anu & dan for river valleys of the ancient trade network. I view it highly probable that the Terai valley of Nepal was connected to both Terah (father of Abraham of the Chaldees) and terraced taro (and later the domesticated weed, rice) floodplains; Terai being linked to Papuan languages & genetics (via Kusunda), and exchange point of sugar cane & taro to Papua.
Anu: Anu existed in Sumerian cosmogony as a sky dome that covered the flat earth (cf Bambuti 'endu' = interior of dome hut)
anu/-dan-/vene/phoeni/dene/tene/finni/den/Lena/Yana river & coastal peoples trading, tuna or salmon fishing, salt mining/brining (Ma'dan - Persian mining town), with dialects of dhanu/dnieper/don/(R or T replaced D: Rhine/Rhone/Thames-temez)
interesting parallels between Hebrew (Yahudi) and Japanese (Nihoni) Shinto culture & script language, and genetic linkage (including Tibet as well).
Perhaps more accurate, Anu that became Phoenician/Venician/Vennicones/Veneti/Fennic/Venne/Vinland voyagers/vikings (from way-go-n/vaya-/vika-/vector-/via-duct)* were a maritime/river trading people that used phonetic script in syllabary form (like Japanese) which was later adapted as alphabetical by western languages & Hebrew. First using wicker & hide punted roundboats (from inverted dome basket huts), then streamlined paddled rafts/canoes/umiaks & dogs, then ribbed-decked-keeled sailing vessels (with livestock) & then wagons/camel caravans, these marine technologies allowed fast dispersals around the old world and then the new world.

There probably were two types of historic Picts. One type were sea-harvesters and used skin boats made from walrus hides, lived nomadically on outer shores and islands, and lived in semi buried circular rock shelters (like igloos, but made of rock and covered with sod)."

The Line of the Archer, the Biologist & the Polymath
At Catalogue of Organisms biology blog, [http://coo.fieldofscience.com/2011/08/red-lined-wings-of-south-america.html?showComment=1312665778549#comment-c4532519180935840235 ] I made a comment regarding the original measure of the word "line", following his description : "A 'line' is a unit of measurement used by a number of 18th and 19th century biologists. The exact length of a line seems to have varied somewhat between countries (see this page for explanations), though it seems to have generally been a little more than 2 mm. Linnaeus apparently defined a line in the introduction to Philosophia Botanica as the length of a lunule (the white half-moon at the base of a fingernail) on any finger other than the thumb." (italics mine)
my comment: perhaps originally 'line' represented the diameter or thickness of a taut bowstring on an archer's bow? I'd think it fits in this way:
L-ine singlet, a-lign (ligament/tendon) (parallel fiber, straight or single coil)
Tw-ine duplet, div-ide, twisted lines -> X (double helix)
Tr-ine triplet, tri-plait, braided lines -> * (offset & interwoven)
See the picture in my earlier post here: http://the-arc-ddeden.blogspot.com/2010/05/archae-numeric.html
Note that in the 123 sequence, Roman numerals are vertical lines, Chinese numerals are horizontal lines and Indi-Arabic numerals are vertical cursively attached lines.
Per Bucky Fuller, there are no mathematically straight lines in nature, there are only progressively less non-straight lines as vector edges between and enclosing events.

CeNCOOS HSU Abstract on Humboldt Bay mariculture, chlorophyll & oysters
abstract
Chlorophyll Levels in the Bay F. J. Shaughnessy
1; G. B. Crawford1 1. Humboldt State University, Arcata, CA, United States.
A variety of ocean observation platforms exist in Humboldt Bay and the outer northern coast of California. Part of this system, now operated by CeNCOOS, includes fixed instrument packages in Humboldt Bay containing a variety of basic water quality sensors including chlorophyll fluorometers. The first such system was deployed in the bay in 2003. Oyster growers in the bay, who account for 60-70% of California’s oyster production, immediately started using the near real time chlorophyll data to make decisions about when to plant out and harvest the bivalves. The growers have since indicated they would also like to be able to predict the availability of food (i.e. phytoplankton) in the bay in order to improve their business decisions. This presentation focuses on the development of a statistical model for predicting bay chlorophyll...

Three-dimensional resting behaviour of northern elephant seals: drifting like a falling leaf.
Mitani Y, Andrews RD, Sato K, Kato A, Naito Y, Costa DP.
National Institute of Polar Research, 10-3, Midorikawa, Tachikawa, Tokyo 190-8518, Japan. yo_mitani@fsc.hokudai.ac.jp
During their long migrations through the Pacific, northern elephant seals, Mirounga angustirostris, never haul out on land and they rarely spend more than a few minutes at a time at the surface. They are almost constantly making repetitive, deep dives, raising the question of when do they rest? One type of dive, the drift dive, characterized by a time-depth profile with a phase of lower than average descent speed is believed to be a resting dive. To examine the behaviour of seals during drift dives, we measured body position and three-dimensional diving paths of six juvenile seals. We found that seals rolled over and sank on their backs during the drift phase, wobbling periodically so that they resembled a falling leaf. This enabled seals to drastically slow their descent rate, possibly so that negatively buoyant seals can rest without ending up in the abyss. This reduces the work required to return to the surface to breath, and allows them time to rest, process food or possibly sleep during the descent phase of these dives where they are probably less susceptible to predation.

The Big 5 Ideas of Science
Biological evolution via natural selection of genetic permutation
Geological plate tectonic continental drift and seafloor spreading
Atomic model of matter - nuclear/electromagnetic mass energy
Periodic table of chemical elements - tetrahedral form of table
Big bang origin of universe - big beats
(relativity, ico-octet structure, gravity as surface area?)
Plate tectonic theory explains the processes that have shaped Earth in terms of plates (large movable segments of the lithosphere) and their movement, including continental drift, seafloor spreading, seismic and volcanic activity, and the structures of Earth's crust to provide a unifying model of Earth's evolution.
The subducting slab contains many hydrous minerals, which release their water on heating during subduction under the continental plate margin; this water then causes the mantle to melt, producing volcanism. Examples of this are the Andes mountain range in South America and the Japanese island arc.
Driving forces of plate motion
Tectonic plates are able to move because of the relative density of oceanic lithosphere and the relative weakness of the asthenosphere. Dissipation of heat from the mantle is acknowledged to be the original source of energy driving plate tectonics. The current view, although it is still a matter of some debate, is that excess density of the oceanic lithosphere sinking in subduction zones is the most powerful source of plate motion. When it forms at mid-ocean ridges, the oceanic lithosphere is initially less dense than the underlying asthenosphere, but it becomes denser with age, as it conductively cools and thickens. The greater density of old lithosphere relative to the underlying asthenosphere allows it to sink into the deep mantle at subduction zones, providing most of the driving force for plate motions. The weakness of the asthenosphere allows the tectonic plates to move easily towards a subduction zone.[22] Although subduction is believed to be the strongest force driving plate motions, it cannot be the only force since there are plates such as the North American Plate which are moving, yet are nowhere being subducted. The same is true for the enormous Eurasian Plate. The sources of plate motion are a matter of intensive research and discussion among earth scientists. wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercontinent_cycle
Strange that they claim Plate Tectonic Theory explains, yet, they they can't explain how or why plates actually move.
Supercontinental ice house & green house cycles
There are two types of global earth climates: Icehouse and Greenhouse. Icehouse is characterized by frequent continental glaciations and severe desert environments. We are now in the icehouse phase, moving towards Greenhouse. Greenhouse is characterized by warm climates. Both reflect the supercontinent cycle.
* Icehouse Climate
o Continents moving together
o Sea level low due to lack of seafloor production
o Climate cooler, arid
o Associated with Aragonite seas
o Formation of Supercontinents
* Greenhouse Climate
o Continents dispersed
o Sea level high
o High level of sea floor spreading
o Relatively large amounts of CO2 production at oceanic rifting zones
o Climate warm and humid
o Associated with Calcite seas
Periods of Icehouse Climate: Much of Neoproterozoic, Late Paleozoic, Late Cenozoic.
Periods of Greenhouse Climate: Early Paleozoic, Mesozoic-Early Cenozoic.
[edit] Relation to evolution
The principal mechanism for evolution is natural selection among diverse populations. As genetic drift occurs more frequently in small populations, diversity is an observed consequence of isolation. Less isolation, and thus less diversification, occurs when the continents are all together, producing both one continent and one ocean with one coast. In Latest Neoproterozoic to Early Paleozoic times, when the tremendous proliferation of diverse metazoa occurred, isolation of marine environments resulted from the breakup of Pannotia.
An arrangement of N-S continents and oceans leads to much more diversity and isolation than E-W oceans and continents. This forms zones that are separated by water or land and that merge into climatically different zones along communication routes to the north and south. Formation of similar tracts of continents and ocean basins, only oriented E-W would lead to much less isolation, diversification, and slower evolution. Through the Cenozoic, isolation has been maximized by an arrangement of N-S ocean basins and continents.
Diversity, as measured by the number of families, follows the supercontinent cycle very well.

tektionary
Where does language come from? Why don't apes talk, if they are genetically so similar to humans?
Our 2ma-.5ma ancestors lived along shores, they progressed from simple calls and gestures to words and languages. Here are clues:
Ural<- Ura (ore, quarry, source, Ur) mountain
Altaic <- al-tek? (Ur-al-tek?) mountain
Aztec <- az-tek? lakes, hills?
Toltec <- tol-tek mountain
Ukraine <- ochreyn ochre-crayon-clay rich moist soils (strongly suspect Hs settled the low riparian Ukraine plains w/ dugouts)
Chippewa/Ojibwe <- chip-wa <-tek-wa riparian
Ottawa <- ahkt-wa riparian
to the more obvious links to the pre-historic past through language:
oct-ahkt-hawk-hatchet-hammer (stone axe on hollow log)
ket-kit/set-(group of paint/powder/toolkit)
ket-skreyt-scratch-script-sanskrit-scribe
ket-sketch with stick/stone/ochre (ground clay writing)
keyt-skate-kaolin-clay-(Sumerian writing on clay tablets)
kleyt-clay, ochre (hammer ground) crayon (wax/grease/oil mix)
peyt-paste, paint, powder, petro (fat rock), bed(rock), beach
peyt-bait-trap in body of fish on beach, bet (chance?)
keyv-cave-cavern-carve (soft stone)-quarry (hard stone), karst
ahkt-ock-rock (English stone)
ahkt-aht-batu (Malay stone)
wawa-well-wave-wind-
wata-wet-wed (throw conf-etti/splashing)
mar-marine-marriage/marital
market-merchand-samarkand-open water shares (trade) wares fairs
ket-cut-gut-goods shared
tek-trek/tred (walk to quarry), trade/train/terrain
tekcheyn-exchange?? vows, barter(boater?), tax,
The Ket people of the Altai mountains are the closest kin
to the original Amerindians. Tek flipped is ket, indicating stone
tools and cutting. Note the word tomahawk, a handled stone-axe,
includes the sound ~ahwk, likely derived from original oct/ahkt. I
don't know the meaning of tomah~, but there is a town in Wisconsin of
that name which originated from Ojibwe/Chippewa Indian language AFAIK.
I've no doubt that the earliest AmerIndians had watercraft, not heavy
wooden dugouts but rather lightweight ribbed portables. In Africa and
southern Asia, crocs/hippos required strong dugouts, but in Eurasia
lightweight ribbed craft were faster and easier to steer in streams
and to paddle upstream to smaller steeper creeks. So Amerindians
already had experience in these vessels. Eskimo names for ribbed skin
boats: umiak and kayak, both include ~ahk, again derived from the
stone hammer-axe, but lost the wa~ and added a prefix, and no longer
used log dugouts. The Chippewa adopted ribbed birch-bark canoes, I
don't know the canoe name. The tribal name of the forest/river
dwelling Ojibwe/Chippewa may derive from chip/tek wood and stone
working ancestors of Eurasian hilly forests/streams. I can only think
that when Beringia was above sea level, it must have had some forests.
Processing stone/wood/meat:
Tek<->ket<->cut<->cook<->kitchen/cuccina/kocina
Tek<->check<->chef<->chief?/chevron?
Tek<->flake<->fillet<->file?
Tek<->tendon?<->o-raw-hide? (uncooked)
Tek<->took?<->hook?<->crook? (take the bait)
Tek<->ket<->knet<->knit<->knot (cut/tie fibers)
knapping a hand-axe / bait-trap means chipping off tets (irregular),
stone knife blades, (like a nose), are irregular tetrahedrons.
So the word 'tet', source of tetrahedron, is ancient too.
name of orig. core/manuport: 'ora' /ore/core/ura/ora/aura/raw (uncut/uncooked)
name of process: 'tek' /check/tick/flake/
name of chips: 'tet' /chip/flek/spec
name of finished bait-trap: 'gen' /gen-/gin-/gem
name of the hammer-stone: 'ahkt' or 'ahx' /axe/adze
Where oct- came from. It exists in Greek (oct) and Sanskrit (aaht). It has a sort of hollow sound (aaoo) as opposed to the sound of pebbles tikking together. My guess is that it was the name of the pounding hammer-stone used for the chipping, also used to describe drumming
hollow logs. A hollow tubular stem (bamboo, crane bone, kudu horn, conch shell) blown through with pinched lips produces only octaves so the word oct/axe was used for hammering and for the natural octaves. The later words axle and axial derived from hollow tubular cylinders like hollow tree stems used in early dugout canoes, found rotting inside-out at waterside, bending towards the
open water and sun. A stone adze/axe and fire were used later to produce a better streamlined watercraft, and then solid straight tree stems were preferred for the lightest unleakiest vessels.
Since the oldest PIE (Proto-Indo-European) name for water is akwa, I'm thinking that water was earlier called wawa or wata during daily diving, and that once dugouts were used, akwa actually was ahkt-wata meant "action in/of water" where act derived from the motion of the hammer-axe. A boat flipped is a tub and vv, in German boat is boot which flipped is toob or tube, boating in water was shortened to akwa, eventually used for any water-related activities/things once
Homo stopped daily diving and become dependent on boats and technology. PIE has no word for tidal surf (they used the 'mar' in coastal marine instead for inland riparian marshes, mires, moors,
markets, merchant), so likely it developed along the Black/Caspian seas and rivers/lakes of the Russian/Ukrainean plains, where there was no tide but there was snow, wheat and lions.
from tek to other words is a very small step "I tap the top of the typewriter keys with the tip of my finger". That sentence has 5 individual derivations from tek.
top (Sanskrit topi = hat), flipped becomes pot or bot-tom
tip, flipped becomes pit
tap, flipped becomes pat on the back
tep, now extinct, was root of step
tape, adhesive
Top-ic, iso-topic, iso-tope, iso-tropic, iso-trophic?
flip, from tip to flip/fly/flew/flutter/flow/flour/FLUID
then tube (hollow cylinder, tuba), flipped becomes boot (car trunk) tub, tab, etc.
Is there a dictionary based on these ancient roots, rather than on alphabetic order (which is much more recent) or pure phonetics?
ora = pre-chipped core or manuport
gen = hand-axe/bait-trap/clam
tek = chip from core
or-gan = whole (heart) core
Ur ~ ora ~ (See my Sumerian trading post scenario)
Conjecture: genetic root (gen-e-tic) (see origin of ur also)
original name for the hande-axe (bait trap) ~ gen
original name for the flaking ~ tek
original name for the chips ~ tek + derivatives
gen=general=the whole (can you dig 1/2 a hole?)
tek=special=the part/spec/spark/flek/flake/tack/trac/tach/tech/...
gen is soft & hummy, tek is clicky, in the mouth.
'tek' is derived from the sound of chipping stone/bone/stick
'gen' probably a tropical bivalve mollusc (the original model for the bifacial bait trap).
Tek is now a buried root word, a fossil, alive only in evolved derived forms.
detach has replaced tek in the functional sense. At-tack, at-tach, at-tach`e, abstract, attract detract, distract merging and separating items. There are an enormous variety of words that relate to the coming together and going apart (compression/tension, gravitation/radiation..), scale is part of the reason for different words, another is geographic isolation of languages..
trac-tion: frictional adhesion
derivation of "abstract": This word comes from a German root "tragen" that means "to
drag". In other words, abstract literally means "dragged away from reality."
tesselate? (sanskrit?)
Does 'compound' derive from pounding a simple stone, making many components? take a flake.. tek a flek, compound 'frac-ture' or frac-tion etc...
tek is also used for finger, digit, one in various languages.
I've 'stuck' to English, but I think all languages had a similar root.

Why do European languages start their teens at 13, not 11? Because they derived from the Caspian basin Proto-Indo-European nomadic herders.
I see there is a difference in counting systems.
Decimal: (small base) 10, (large base) 100 (Modern, India)
Duodecimal: (small base) 12, (large base) 144 (Niger plateau)
Caspian: (small base) 12, (large base) 120 (PIE Caspian basin)
Sumerian: (small base) 60, (large base) 3600 (Sumerian Traders)
The ancestral European counting system from the Caspian basin counted their knuckles and fingers 120. This allowed them to trade goods at Sumerian trading posts along rivers from Sumer to Moscow, who used the 30/60/360/3600 counting system which is still used in degrees, minutes.
Does anyone know where I can verify the real history of the 12/120-based system? Wikipedia doesn't even mention the herding.
http://www.sizes.com/units/hundred.htm#120
(I think some translation errors snuck in, eg Doggermen probably used 8 x 12 + 4)
Note that 120 is used with heads/herds, 100 with iron.
http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/duodecimal
http://www3.aa.tufs.ac.jp/~P_aflang/TEXTS/oct98/decimal.html
my words:
The first cattle herding began on the Nigerian plateau and the Caspian plains, a few
plateau Nigerian languages still use the duodecimal system, but in Europe only the vestige of 11, 12 not being -teen, and the presence of dozen in the languages indicate a past use before the decimal system.)
herd = 12 head / kids (kind-herd) / tribes / tributaries Mesopotamian
herders, exported to Levant, Caspian.
A head-count of 12 was counted/divided quickly using the thumbtip
tapping the flesh above the 12 inner knuckles of one hand, dividing by
2, 3, 4, 6 was easy. Continue to higher numbers by folding a finger or

PIE and IE retained this (China lost it, instead using 10 fingers (no knuckles) and decimal abacus from shells/coins on a string). IE teens start at 13, not 11.
Our later written numerals are based on the Chinese decimal (as did Rome) via India/Arabia numerals which added the 0.
Abraham <- ora-ham (in Chaldean) ora = source, core, origin
Neither Chinese, Eskimos nor Austronesians herded cattle/sheep on open plains, their counting systems differed.

A constant bore tube's lowest notes aren't octave intervals.
A conical bore tube's lowest notes may approximate an octave interval.
It is interesting, the bugle frequency ratios 2-3-4-5-6
I'd guess it is actually 1-2-3-4-5-6-12, with the 1-2 gap equal to an octave (if I have inferred correctly).
I am basing this on Buckmister Fuller's "Jitterbug transformation"
where in geometry, there is an overlap between an icosahedron (1-2-3-4-6-12 fold symmetry) and a cuboctahedron (5 fold symmetry)
(note images at right)
http://www.4dsolutions.net/synergetica/synergetica6.html
"The jitterbug transformation starts with a cuboctahedron and twist contracts it into a regular octahedron with 1/5th the volume, passing through the intermediate icosahedral phase on the way. This latter form of the jitterbug is useful when applied to individual spheres as it shows how they can contract to become between-sphere concave octahedral voids (see 1:1032.00). Fuller uses oscillatory ripplings of such sphere-into-space-into-sphere alternations, the so-called space-filling jitterbug transformation, to suggest new models of omnidirectional energy propagation within the fields of electro- and hydrodynamics."
I believe the same math mechanism was used by Proto-Indo-European herdsmen and Sumerian traders, calculating quantities via knuckles (12 base) and fingers (10 base).
Wikipedia, hundred: "The larger value originated with the Teutonic tribes that invaded England after the Romans departed; their Hundert equalled 120."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teutonic
The word Teutonic derives at once from both the Latin name for a tribe who were thought by the Romans to be Germanic, die Teutonen, "the Teutons" and, from the Germanic word tiutisch (New High German deutsch = German), originally meaning "belonging to the people".
The Romans identified die Teutonen as a Germanic tribe, and therefore Roman writers began to use the term Teutonicus as a synonym for their existing word for Germanic peoples, Germanicus.
Today many scholars think that die Teutonen were not a Germanic tribe at all, but rather, that they were a Celtic tribe. It has been suggested that Teutone derives from the Celtic word tuath meaning "the people" or "the tribe" (as in the mythical Irish race, the Tuatha de Danaan, the "tribe of Danaan").[citation needed] [1]
Tiutisch is the source of the German word Deutsch, as well as the English word "Dutch". English is considered a Germanic language by linguists.

Our 2ma-.5ma ancestors lived along shores, they progressed from simple calls and gestures to words and languages. Here are clues:
Ural<- Ura (ore, quarry, source, Ur) mountain
Altaic <- al-tek? (Ur-al-tek?) mountain
Aztec <- az-tek? lakes, hills?
Toltec <- tol-tek mountain
Ukraine <- ochreyn ochre-crayon-clay rich moist soils (strongly suspect Hs settled the low riparian Ukraine plains w/ dugouts)
Chippewa/Ojibwe <- chip-wa <-tek-wa riparian
Ottawa <- ahkt-wa riparian
to the more obvious links to the pre-historic past through language:
oct-ahkt-hawk-hatchet-hammer (stone axe on hollow log)
ket-kit/set-(group of paint/powder/toolkit)
ket-skreyt-scratch-script-sanskrit-scribe
ket-sketch with stick/stone/ochre (ground clay writing)
keyt-skate-kaolin-clay-(Sumerian writing on clay tablets)
kleyt-clay, ochre (hammer ground) crayon (wax/grease/oil mix)
peyt-paste, paint, powder, petro (fat rock), bed(rock), beach
peyt-bait-trap in body of fish on beach, bet (chance?)
keyv-cave-cavern-carve (soft stone)-quarry (hard stone), karst
ahkt-ock-rock (English stone)
ahkt-aht-batu (Malay stone)
wawa-well-wave-wind-
wata-wet-wed (throw conf-etti/splashing)
mar-marine-marriage/marital
market-merchand-samarkand-open water shares (trade) wares fairs
ket-cut-gut-goods shared
tek-trek/tred (walk to quarry), trade/train/terrain
tekcheyn-exchange?? vows, barter(boater?), tax,
The Ket people of the Altai mountains are the closest kin
to the original Amerindians. Tek flipped is ket, indicating stone
tools and cutting. Note the word tomahawk, a handled stone-axe,
includes the sound ~ahwk, likely derived from original oct/ahkt. I
don't know the meaning of tomah~, but there is a town in Wisconsin of
that name which originated from Ojibwe/Chippewa Indian language AFAIK.
I've no doubt that the earliest AmerIndians had watercraft, not heavy
wooden dugouts but rather lightweight ribbed portables. In Africa and
southern Asia, crocs/hippos required strong dugouts, but in Eurasia
lightweight ribbed craft were faster and easier to steer in streams
and to paddle upstream to smaller steeper creeks. So Amerindians
already had experience in these vessels. Eskimo names for ribbed skin
boats: umiak and kayak, both include ~ahk, again derived from the
stone hammer-axe, but lost the wa~ and added a prefix, and no longer
used log dugouts. The Chippewa adopted ribbed birch-bark canoes, I
don't know the canoe name. The tribal name of the forest/river
dwelling Ojibwe/Chippewa may derive from chip/tek wood and stone
working ancestors of Eurasian hilly forests/streams. I can only think
that when Beringia was above sea level, it must have had some forests.
Processing stone/wood/meat:
Tek<->ket<->cut<->cook<->kitchen/cuccina/kocina
Tek<->check<->chef<->chief?/chevron?
Tek<->flake<->fillet<->file?
Tek<->tendon?<->o-raw-hide? (uncooked)
Tek<->took?<->hook?<->crook? (take the bait)
Tek<->ket<->knet<->knit<->knot (cut/tie fibers)
knapping a hand-axe / bait-trap means chipping off tets (irregular),
stone knife blades, (like a nose), are irregular tetrahedrons.
So the word 'tet', source of tetrahedron, is ancient too.
name of orig. core/manuport: 'ora' /ore/core/ura/ora/aura/raw (uncut/uncooked)
name of process: 'tek' /check/tick/flake/
name of chips: 'tet' /chip/flek/spec
name of finished bait-trap: 'gen' /gen-/gin-/gem
name of the hammer-stone: 'ahkt' or 'ahx' /axe/adze
Where oct- came from. It exists in Greek (oct) and Sanskrit (aaht). It has a sort of hollow sound (aaoo) as opposed to the sound of pebbles tikking together. My guess is that it was the name of the pounding hammer-stone used for the chipping, also used to describe drumming
hollow logs. A hollow tubular stem (bamboo, crane bone, kudu horn, conch shell) blown through with pinched lips produces only octaves so the word oct/axe was used for hammering and for the natural octaves. The later words axle and axial derived from hollow tubular cylinders like hollow tree stems used in early dugout canoes, found rotting inside-out at waterside, bending towards the
open water and sun. A stone adze/axe and fire were used later to produce a better streamlined watercraft, and then solid straight tree stems were preferred for the lightest unleakiest vessels.
Since the oldest PIE (Proto-Indo-European) name for water is akwa, I'm thinking that water was earlier called wawa or wata during daily diving, and that once dugouts were used, akwa actually was ahkt-wata meant "action in/of water" where act derived from the motion of the hammer-axe. A boat flipped is a tub and vv, in German boat is boot which flipped is toob or tube, boating in water was shortened to akwa, eventually used for any water-related activities/things once
Homo stopped daily diving and become dependent on boats and technology. PIE has no word for tidal surf (they used the 'mar' in coastal marine instead for inland riparian marshes, mires, moors,
markets, merchant), so likely it developed along the Black/Caspian seas and rivers/lakes of the Russian/Ukrainean plains, where there was no tide but there was snow, wheat and lions.
from tek to other words is a very small step "I tap the top of the typewriter keys with the tip of my finger". That sentence has 5 individual derivations from tek.
top (Sanskrit topi = hat), flipped becomes pot or bot-tom
tip, flipped becomes pit
tap, flipped becomes pat on the back
tep, now extinct, was root of step
tape, adhesive
Top-ic, iso-topic, iso-tope, iso-tropic, iso-trophic?
flip, from tip to flip/fly/flew/flutter/flow/flour/FLUID
then tube (hollow cylinder, tuba), flipped becomes boot (car trunk) tub, tab, etc.
Is there a dictionary based on these ancient roots, rather than on alphabetic order (which is much more recent) or pure phonetics?
ora = pre-chipped core or manuport
gen = hand-axe/bait-trap/clam
tek = chip from core
or-gan = whole (heart) core
Ur ~ ora ~ (See my Sumerian trading post scenario)
Conjecture: genetic root (gen-e-tic) (see origin of ur also)
original name for the hande-axe (bait trap) ~ gen
original name for the flaking ~ tek
original name for the chips ~ tek + derivatives
gen=general=the whole (can you dig 1/2 a hole?)
tek=special=the part/spec/spark/flek/flake/tack/trac/tach/tech/...
gen is soft & hummy, tek is clicky, in the mouth.
'tek' is derived from the sound of chipping stone/bone/stick
'gen' probably a tropical bivalve mollusc (the original model for the bifacial bait trap).
Tek is now a buried root word, a fossil, alive only in evolved derived forms.
detach has replaced tek in the functional sense. At-tack, at-tach, at-tach`e, abstract, attract detract, distract merging and separating items. There are an enormous variety of words that relate to the coming together and going apart (compression/tension, gravitation/radiation..), scale is part of the reason for different words, another is geographic isolation of languages..
trac-tion: frictional adhesion
derivation of "abstract": This word comes from a German root "tragen" that means "to
drag". In other words, abstract literally means "dragged away from reality."
tesselate? (sanskrit?)
Does 'compound' derive from pounding a simple stone, making many components? take a flake.. tek a flek, compound 'frac-ture' or frac-tion etc...
tek is also used for finger, digit, one in various languages.
I've 'stuck' to English, but I think all languages had a similar root.

Why do European languages start their teens at 13, not 11? Because they derived from the Caspian basin Proto-Indo-European nomadic herders.
I see there is a difference in counting systems.
Decimal: (small base) 10, (large base) 100 (Modern, India)
Duodecimal: (small base) 12, (large base) 144 (Niger plateau)
Caspian: (small base) 12, (large base) 120 (PIE Caspian basin)
Sumerian: (small base) 60, (large base) 3600 (Sumerian Traders)
The ancestral European counting system from the Caspian basin counted their knuckles and fingers 120. This allowed them to trade goods at Sumerian trading posts along rivers from Sumer to Moscow, who used the 30/60/360/3600 counting system which is still used in degrees, minutes.
Does anyone know where I can verify the real history of the 12/120-based system? Wikipedia doesn't even mention the herding.
http://www.sizes.com/units/hundred.htm#120
(I think some translation errors snuck in, eg Doggermen probably used 8 x 12 + 4)
Note that 120 is used with heads/herds, 100 with iron.
http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/duodecimal
http://www3.aa.tufs.ac.jp/~P_aflang/TEXTS/oct98/decimal.html
my words:
The first cattle herding began on the Nigerian plateau and the Caspian plains, a few
plateau Nigerian languages still use the duodecimal system, but in Europe only the vestige of 11, 12 not being -teen, and the presence of dozen in the languages indicate a past use before the decimal system.)
herd = 12 head / kids (kind-herd) / tribes / tributaries Mesopotamian
herders, exported to Levant, Caspian.
A head-count of 12 was counted/divided quickly using the thumbtip
tapping the flesh above the 12 inner knuckles of one hand, dividing by
2, 3, 4, 6 was easy. Continue to higher numbers by folding a finger or
thumb to represent each additional 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96,
108, 120 when all digits folded = both hands closed = count-herd-ol =
10 x 12 (hundredfold)
cent<- kent-um = 100 among city folk. (10 x itself)
hundred<- count10 x herd12 = 120 among nomad herders. (10 x 12 knuckles)
The word hundred meant 120 items. from count-herd
The word gross meant 144 items. big/many
The word cent meant 100 items. from kentum
The word count meant 12 items. from kent
The word kent meant 10 items.

count-herd = 120 among nomad herders. (10 x 12 knuckles)
-ol- fold, wool, roll, scroll, wheel
-ai!- eye, hive, fly, spyre, pain, fire
PIE and IE retained this (China lost it, instead using 10 fingers (no knuckles) and decimal abacus from shells/coins on a string). IE teens start at 13, not 11.
Our later written numerals are based on the Chinese decimal (as did Rome) via India/Arabia numerals which added the 0.
Abraham <- ora-ham (in Chaldean) ora = source, core, origin
Neither Chinese, Eskimos nor Austronesians herded cattle/sheep on open plains, their counting systems differed.

A constant bore tube's lowest notes aren't octave intervals.
A conical bore tube's lowest notes may approximate an octave interval.
It is interesting, the bugle frequency ratios 2-3-4-5-6
I'd guess it is actually 1-2-3-4-5-6-12, with the 1-2 gap equal to an octave (if I have inferred correctly).
I am basing this on Buckmister Fuller's "Jitterbug transformation"
where in geometry, there is an overlap between an icosahedron (1-2-3-4-6-12 fold symmetry) and a cuboctahedron (5 fold symmetry)
(note images at right)
http://www.4dsolutions.net/synergetica/synergetica6.html
"The jitterbug transformation starts with a cuboctahedron and twist contracts it into a regular octahedron with 1/5th the volume, passing through the intermediate icosahedral phase on the way. This latter form of the jitterbug is useful when applied to individual spheres as it shows how they can contract to become between-sphere concave octahedral voids (see 1:1032.00). Fuller uses oscillatory ripplings of such sphere-into-space-into-sphere alternations, the so-called space-filling jitterbug transformation, to suggest new models of omnidirectional energy propagation within the fields of electro- and hydrodynamics."
I believe the same math mechanism was used by Proto-Indo-European herdsmen and Sumerian traders, calculating quantities via knuckles (12 base) and fingers (10 base).
Wikipedia, hundred: "The larger value originated with the Teutonic tribes that invaded England after the Romans departed; their Hundert equalled 120."
