Point out the similarities between Iranian languages and Sanskrit- numerals

February 14, 2008

Dear all, Driven by a pseudo historical site on the slaughter of Aryans on Proto Europeans, allegedly peaceful agrarian society, I have looked up this page on wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Indo-European_numerals

The page compares numerals from various languages belonging to the Indo European group . In this page, I did not find the Indian equivalents of higher numerals like Lakhsa (hundred thousands), koti( ten millions) and Arabu. On the other hand, curiously, there are no pointers to Iranian languages.

I would be grateful if some one points out the following:a. the Indo European equivalents of the higher numeralsb. the Iranian equivalents of all the ordinal numbers. regards, kishore patnaik

Dear Kishore,

I cannot always follow your explanations, therefore I have asked you, where you have studied Vedic literature and philosophy. In the meantime I have found out that these subjects are not taught at all in India, because the brahmins still keep secret on this matter. They use several hymns still today in sacrifices, but they do not reveal their meanings. It is doubtful that they know it themselves.

I do not believe in any allegorical explanantions of Vedic words. They are not helpful in reading Indus signs.

The fundament of my decoding is the pictorial appearance of a sign. There is always a certain range of interpretation, but the necessary fixation is given through the Vedic context.

Very often there is only one Vedic hym where a pictogram occurs as in the case of the peahen, and this word is used only as a female. But generally all signs can be male or/and female. This follows from the androgyn conception of the Vedic gods. We need not quarrel therefore, whether the deity on seals 2420 and 2430 is male or female.

There is no arrow-sign on seal 2430.

The root ar in the Veda does not mean man, but wanderer, nomad. The Aryans were nomads and sometimes they were very cruel to the Dasyus, though they had the older rights.

I think the Vedic brahmins invented the exact oral tradition, because they could not deal with the multivalence of the pictograms, but there is a lot of multivalence in the Vedic verses, too.

I is a pity that the Indians do not study the Veda at school.

In the library of the Goan institute of health, where I was in February 2007, they have the Work of Caraka, but not the Veda

Kind regards,

Egbert

Please, do not take anything personal in what I write.
