Abstract
The initial working title for this essay was „A Footnote to the Philosophy of Language“, but I didn't
realize how far the idea could grow. In the end the footnote grew to a new chapter.
According to several sources such as Sanskrit, Old-Persian and Hebrew documents the
categorization of letters or phonemes are based on the 5 categories: linguals, palatals, gutturals,
labials and dentals, which may have consequences for the languages and the philosophy of
language.
In an overall concept of the universe words with letters of all 5 sources may have symbolized the
completeness of the universe.
Therefore the word “sky” (the divine DIΕVS) may have been composed from 5 letters, which
represented the 5 categories: the lingual D, the palatal I, the guttural Ε, the labial V and the dental S.
In the word DIΕVS for the universe the immense size may be symbolized by all 5 letter-categories.
Inside the name of the sky-god DIΕVS we may identify a subset “IΕV”, which in a few languages
such as Provencal represents the personal pronoun of the first person singular (“I”).
In some languages the composition of 5-letter words seemed to be preferred for some important
specifications, such as the parents, the royal names, etc. The lost fundamentals of language caused a
significant loss of information, which disturbs the Wittgenstein's limits of language and limits of
philosophy. According to Wittgenstein the limits of language are the limits of philosophy.
→ As long as the limits of language are obscured, the limits of philosophy remain unveiled.
A number of footnotes

A footnote to the power of the royals

Early royal families confirmed the power of the free people, which named themselves FRANKS
and had chosen to name their leaders Clovis (Chlodovechus) or (Ch)LOVIS. In the sense of the
alphabetical categorization the name-giving in LOVIS aimed to give the king Clovis the universal
power of a “sky-god” (DIΕVS). The royals extended this power to Charlemagne, who signed his
name as “KAROLVS”. As a signature he completed his signature with a small “v”-symbol in the
center of the signature1.
The impact of the linguistic categorization of the alphabetical letters in the linguistics has to be
analyzed.

A footnote to the words “Father” & “Mother”

In the appendix I documented a number (~70) perfect pentagrams, which are composed from the 5
categories and seem to be designed to be as powerful and/or eternal as a “sky-god” (DIΕVS) and
(Ch)LOVIS. Their letters are perfectly balanced the labial, guttural, lingual Ð, palatal I, and dental
R2.
The labials “F” and “M” represent the dissociating relation “F” (“FIД or “WIД) and associating
relation “M” (“MIД) as a powerful couple of antipodes in harmony.
The symbolic difference between the Creator DIΕVS or TIVAR and the parents FAÐIR & MÓÐIR is
the order of the letters. The Creator God started with the lingual letter D or T, which is positioned in
the center of the words for the parents.

Table 1: Extract from the List of the Perfect Pentagrams

Most of these PIE-words seemed to be worn out by deterioration, but some of these words have
survived in the struggle of protecting and preserving their true character. FAThER and MÓThER
already lost some precision of the (originally) 5 categories. In fact the palatal I had been lost and
transformed to a guttural E. This is not really a damage compared to other words such as the
personal pronouns. The words simply lost the perfection of the pentagrams. FAThER and MÓThER
probably remained more or less undamaged for their respectable position. Other words had less
protection.

A footnote to the (DAY-)LIGHT and the NIGHT

The loss of precision may also have hit the words for DAY (*DAGR). The dentals R and S seemed
to be favorite terminal letters. Often the extension had been lost, which obviously happened with
DAY. I thought the BIBLE started with DAY and NIGHT as antipodes, which in the Creation phase
had to be split. The (DAY-)LIGHT and the NIGHT3 were better antipodes, but in English their
shape is already badly deformed.

2 The Latin alphabet is defined as linguals: D, Þ L, N, T, palatals: C, G, I, J, K, Q, X , the gutturals: A, Ε, H, O, Y,
labials: B, ϝ - V, M, P, U, W and the dentals: Z, S, R.
3 In Dutch and German the NIGHT is spelled as NACHT.
The stages in the philosophy of language
In analytic philosophy, philosophy of language investigates the nature of language, the relations
between language, language users, and the world.[1] 4
The new information, which is provided by the categorized words, is the subset of perfect
pentagrams, which describe a variety of special linguistic classes. This feature allows us to identify
perfect pentagrams, for which the word-composition may have been completed in a prehistoric era.
Examples for these words are the sky-gods DZEUS, Themis (ΘΈΜΙΣ) and Metis (ΜΗΗΤΙΣ), the
legendary names ARMIN, BRIAN, FRANK, IANUS, MANUS, MINOS, MIDAS, PYOTR.

The vowel pentagram IAOUE

In The Art of Designing Languages I documented specials cases of pentagrams. These words such
as the water-pentagram seemed to describe the fundamentals of life.
The word iaoue has been derived from Old French iaue, ewe, euwe, egua (“water”), from Latin
aqua (“water”) and may be spelled as follows5:
• iâo (continental Normandy)
• iaoue f (Guernsey) water; (plural iaoux)
• ieau (Jersey)
• yo (Sark)
• iaoue douce (“fresh water”)

The legendary Themis and Metis

A couple of the keywords Themis and Metis in Greek symbolism turn out to be two perfect
pentagrams which in the justicial system represent two basic key-elements. As names these words
represent the first two mates or wives for Zeus.
In Greek language the correlation between Zeus' first Themis (ΘΈΜΙΣ) and second wife Metis
(ΜΗΗΤΙΣ) represent a genuine symbolic name-giving act.
• Themis (Ancient Greek: Θέμις) is an ancient Greek Titaness. She is described as "[the
Lady] of good counsel," and is the personification of divine order, fairness, law, natural law,
and custom.
• Metis (Ancient Greek: Μῆτις, romanized: Mêtis, lit. 'wisdom', 'skill', or 'craft'), in ancient
Greek religion, was a mythical Titaness belonging to the second generation of Titans.
Both names describe the titans ThEMIS and METIS as perfect pentagrams. Also the core of Zeus'
name (DZEUS, which is derived from DYEUS) belonged in analogy of DIAUS (Dyáuṣ Pitṛ)ṛ , to the
perfect pentagrams6.

Plato
In Plato's books the categorization of the alphabetical letters did not play a role. The role of the
phonemes may be understood in the example of the antipodes FAThER and MÓThER, in which the
labials “F” and “M” represent the dissociating relation “F” (“FIД or “WIД) and associating
relation “M” (“MIД).
In the dialogue Cratylus, Plato considered the question of whether the names of things
were determined by convention or by nature. He criticized conventionalism because it
led to the bizarre consequence that anything can be conventionally denominated by any
name. Hence, it cannot account for the correct or incorrect application of a name. He
claimed that there was a natural correctness to names. To do this, he pointed out that
compound words and phrases have a range of correctness. He also argued that primitive
names had a natural correctness, because each phoneme represented basic ideas or
sentiments. For example, for Plato the letter l and its sound represented the idea of
softness. However, by the end of the Cratylus, he had admitted that some social
conventions were also involved, and that there were faults in the idea that phonemes had
individual meanings.[5] Plato is often considered a proponent of extreme realism. 7

Aristotle
Aristotle interested himself with the issues of logic, categories, and meaning creation.
He separated all things into categories of species and genus. He thought that the
meaning of a predicate was established through an abstraction of the similarities
between various individual things.

Aristotle considered the brain (BRAIN, in Dutch: BREIN) as a device to cool the blood 8. Therefore
the BRAIN could not be playing a role in the LOGOS-oriented philosophy.

Western philosophy
Language began to play a central role in Western philosophy in the early 20th century.
One of the central figures involved in this development was the German philosopher
Gottlob Frege, whose work on philosophical logic and the philosophy of language in the
late 19th century influenced the work of 20th-century analytic philosophers Bertrand
Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein. The philosophy of language became so pervasive that
for a time, in analytic philosophy circles, philosophy as a whole was understood to be a
matter of philosophy of language.

Bertrand Russell
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) was a British polymath, philosopher, logician,
mathematician, historian, writer, social critic, political activist and Nobel laureate.[69]
[70].

Initially Russell based his philosophy on mathematics. At the age of 15-18 Russell investigated the
triad of metaphysical foundations: (1) God, (2) Freedom and (3) Immortality, but found no evidence
for the metaphysical theories. From that age he became an atheist9.

Strange as it may seem two of these metaphysical foundations: (1) God, (2) Freedom and (3)
Immortality (in the sense of eternity) are encoded in perfect pentagrams:

Table 2 Two of the Metaphysical foundations: (1) God, (2) Freedom and (3) Immortality
(in the sense of eternity) are encoded in perfect pentagrams

Wittgenstein
Wittgenstein argues that the logical structure of language provides the limits of meaning. The limits
of language, for Wittgenstein, are the limits of philosophy.
It was Moore who suggested Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus for the title, an allusion to
Baruch Spinoza's Tractatus Theologico-Politicus.

In a letter to Russell, Wittgenstein wrote "The main point is the theory of what can be
expressed (gesagt) by prop[osition]s – i.e. by language – (and, which comes to the same
thing, what can be thought) and what can not be expressed by pro[position]s, but only
shown (gezeigt); which, I believe, is the cardinal problem of philosophy."[183] 11

However the language seemed to have been composed on a structured foundation, which in the
West-European environment most of the time had been lost. The only sources in which I found the
5 linguistic categories are the Yetzer Sephirah and in the alphabets for Sanskrit and Old Persian.
These categorizations do not exactly follow the Hebrew concept. Sanskrit interprets “L”- and “R”-
derivations as vowels. In Old-Persian the sibilants are contributing to several categories.

Ferdinand de Saussure
In continental philosophy, the foundational work in the field was Ferdinand de
Saussure's Cours de linguistique générale,[3] published posthumously in 1916.

I remember Saussure's letter “E”, which was to be considered as the only vowel of the alphabet and
belonged to the inscription at the entrance to Apollos temple in Delphi12.

As a 21-year old student Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913) claimed all verbs in the
ancestor languages had just one core vowel: *e. Languages with only one vowel however
are suboptimal. The bandwidth of a human voice may be optimized by applying three
vowels in a ternary coding system.
According to this hypothesis, verbal roots in Proto-Indo-European looked like *WSEK (for 'cut'),
*WBHER (for 'bear'), *BHEWG (for 'flee'), *DEYK (for 'show'), which could be traced in the PIE-
daughter languages.
Saussure's concept may also describe an initial design of an alphabet with only 5 symbols: 1 labial,
1 guttural, 1 lingual, 1 palatal and 1 dental. In this concept the initial alphabet may have started as a
1-layer array, which later could be extended layer by layer:

1 D A G B Z

3 - - - - -
