Linguistic Pentagrams Overview
Linguistic Pentagrams Overview
Abstract
The oldest pentagram Dyáuṣ Pitṛṛ seemed to be preserved against deterioration as it was restricted to
one application in the Vedic_Sanskrit. Other variants (Dious and Dieus) of this composition had lost
some of their letter-symbols and needed to be restored to identify their origin. These extra-hardened
words turned out to be 5-letter compositions, representing the sky-god and containing 5 symbols,
which obviously represented the 5 places of articulation.
Vague traces to the 5-fold categorization of the alphabetical symbols may be found in Cicero's
Tusculan disputations (De Natura Deorum) and in Sefer Yetzirah, in which the 5 places of
articulation are defined as tongue, lips, palate, throat and teeth. The letters are named lingual, labial,
palatal, guttural and dental. In order to easily identify the categories I decided to apply the following
colorization of the letters in the pentagrams: guttural, lingual, labial, palatal and dental.
Apart from the theonym of the sky-god DIAUS PITAR most European alphabets contain two
consorts of the sky-gods to compose the pentagrams for the two (“most cardinal”) virtues wisdom,
respectively justice.
This paper abbreviates and condenses a number of (listed) essays (appendix 2) and also lists the 315
identified pentagrams in an overview (appendix 1).
Introduction to the pentagrams
In the center of the European continent I feel like imprisoned between titanic forces who are
destroying values and beleaguering a fortress, in which I happened to have arrived after a long and
climbing, winding journey. From here I overview a strange philosophical landscape, in which some
of the surrounding words behave like Alpine rocks at the horizon and others circumcise my seat as
deteriorating hills.
Having identified the various languages and dialects I saw how the words are dying, disappearing,
growing and being born in the rolling row of seasons. In contrast I identified a few words which are
resisting the wear and tear. They seemed to belong to a special class of extra-hardened material.

palatal, guttural and dental. In order to easily identify the categories I decided to apply the following
colorization of the letters in the pentagrams: guttural, lingual, labial, palatal and dental.
In contrast to the Jewish grammarians, who assumed a special mode of articulation for
each of the five groups of sounds, the Sefer Yetzirah says that no sound can be produced
without the tongue, to which the other organs of speech merely lend assistance1.
The Sefer_Yetzirah does not specify the classification for the Hebrew letters. In Rabbi Saadia
Gaon's Judeo-Arabic commentary on “Sefer Yetzirah” I found a detailed overview of a suitable
specification of the classification of the 22 Hebrew letters, which is documented in appendix 1.
I transferred this alphabet into the following 2-dimensional overview, which at the 2 nd row displays
the theonyms I10-Ε5-V6 and T9-I10-Ε5-V6-S15 in the Hebrew alphabet:
A number of other philosophical definitions (“wisdom” and “justice”) could be identified as the
consorts of the sky-god. Their names varied between the Hellenic Metis & Themis, and the
Germanic Wotan or Witan & Tiwas or Tivar. The 5-letter words seemed to be keywords, whose
intention and determination had been lost. I decided to name these words “Pentagram” (“a group of
five letters”) as an extension or variant of the “Tetragram” (defined as “a group of four letters”).

In this composition the Z-letters are always considered as lingual and Theta-letters as dental letter.
Therefore a few letters such as Z8 and Ẓ18 are categoried as linguals and Θ 10 and Θ 25 as dentals.

The earliest European pentagrams
From the Linear-B language the traces of Zeus (DI-WE,DI-WO) are found in European languages
Another origin for the European alphabets may have been the Ugaritic alphabet which seems to
have documented the sequences of the Hebrew and Greek alphabets included all inherited
alphabets. The alphabetical sequence of the letters determines the displays at a dedicated row in the
2-dimensional tables.
In a few cases the names of the legendary “inventors” of “transporters” are known in the legends3:
1. Thoth (or Djehoety) for the scripture of Egypt,
2. Cadmus at the introduction of the Greek alphabet,
3. Darius I at the introduction of the Old-Persian alphabet,
4. “(G)Wōdin” in the Elder Futhark runes4
5. and (probably) Ogmios5 (dressed as Heracles) at the introduction of the Ogham_(alfabet).
The legend of the five surviving Spartoi may be interpreted as the categorization of the places of
articulation. The names of these 5 survivors Echion, Hyperenor, Chthonius, Pelorus, Udaeus have
been documented in various sources (Apollodorus 3.22, Pausanias 9.5.3, Hyginus Fabulae 178,
Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius 3.1179). In the legend these 5 names represent the letters as
phonetic sources linguals, palatals, gutturals, labials, dentals6.

alphabetic letter-symbols (Source: An Alternative History for the Alphabet)
Odysseus himself may be interpreted as „angry“. His name Oútis (ΟΥΥΥΤΙΣ, „Nobody“) belongs to
the keywords of the Odyssey, which are identified as pentagrams.
MĒNIS (MENIS), “Wrath!” was the first word in European literature, which had been written by a
blind philosopher.
In the Ilias the initial word Mēnis (MENIS) is translated as „wrath“, which is not the common and
private anger of Achilles for the loss of Briseis. Instead the Mēnis (MENIS) is the divine wrath of a
goddess Athena for Achilles' refusal to proceed the war against Troy9.
The word Mēnis (MENIS) describes the divine wrath and not the common human anger (θυμός,
ΘΥΜΌΣ)10.
In the Iliad I identified merely 20 quotations of the word mênis (MÊNIS), and 853 quotations for
the standard word thumos (ThYMOS) for a common “anger”.11

The Theonyms of the sky-god and the consorts as virtues
Apart from the theonym of the sky-god DIAUS PITAR most European alphabets contain two
consorts of the sky-gods to compose the pentagrams for the two “most cardinal” virtues wisdom,
respectively justice.
In Greek language the pentagrams are METIS (wisdom) and ΘEMIS (Justice), which in their cores
(MET ↔ ΘEM) are composed as antipodes (METIS ↔ ΘEMIS). The goddess METIS (wisdom)
was the first consort of Zeus. The goddess ΘEMIS (Justice) was the second consort of Zeus.
In Germanic languages the pentagrams are WITES (wisdom) and TIWAZ (Justice), which in their
cores (WIT ↔ TIW) are composed as antipodes (WITES ↔ TIWAZ). The god Wotan or WITES
(wisdom) is honored with the Wednesday. The god TIWAZ (Justice) is honored with the Tuesday. In
Mediterranean Latin-oriented languages (e.g. French) the sky-god “*DJOUS PITER” is honored
with Thursday. A Germanic word for a sky-god as a pentagram is the Gothic word *TEIWS (later
*Tīus).
Table 9 The supreme God and the virtues wisdom and justice
The derivations of this table are documented in the essay Once upon a Day the Word DINGIR
(DIMER) Arose and earlier notes.
A Confirmation of the Rivers of Paradise14
Composing a recent essay A Confirmation of the Rivers of Paradise I identified three possible
pentagrams (PISON, KARUN and FIRAT) in the names for the Rivers of Paradise (sorted
according to the list in the Book Genesis):
(1) the Pison and (2) Gihon, (3) the Hiddekel (Tigris), and (4) the Phrath (Euphrates)
Of course I knew there was a chance that all four rivers may have been composed as genuine
pentagrams.
Only the Tigris needed to be traced back to an original pentagram for its name, which was to be
found in the Kurdish name Ava MEZIN "the Great Water".
The pentagrams clearly confirm Juris Zarins' description including Dora Jane Hamblin's map of the
rivers. Of course Juris Zarins' thesis also supports the thesis of the pentagrams.

I noticed a striking symmetry of the antipodal patterns for the rivers' names ***** ↔ *****, but
in the community of the readers nobody really seemed to be interested in this remarkable name-
giving.
A “modern” application of pentagrams
The foundation of the Frankish royalty may have been based on the five-horned Quinotaur15 as a
symbolic forefather for the pedigree of C LOVIS I up to LOUIS XIX. The Quinotaur (the 5-horned
bull of Fredegar) may have been involved in the pentagrams FRANK, CLOVIS, BASIN, BASINA
and ultimately also BLOIS and LOUIS (in English: LEWIS) as the royal names for the French
dynasty of the FRANKS.

The documentation of the (incomplete) pentagrams
The investigation of the existing 5-letter words resulted in an overview of (~315) pentagrams
(appendix 1).
The overview documents a number of sky-gods (Diaus, Dious, Dieus and Tiwas, etc.) and the
“consorts” as virtues (Wisdom and Justice). The etymology for these words may have been
restricted to the conditions of the pentagrams. In the composition of the theonyms the derivation of
the divine names from other words (such as the day, daylight or the sun as metaphors) may have
been avoided.
Other words may have been derived from these pentagrams. The words for day and light may have
been derived from the sky-god's Name as a metaphor.
The number of the pentagrams in appendix 1 is still growing. A great number of these pentagrams
are identified as names for persons, mountains and rivers.
Statistics
An analysis of the preference for the initial letters the pentagrams have been analyzed in the essay:
'Wrath!' was the First Word - Hidden symbols, which we never unveiled. The statistical relation of
the initial letters for the Linguals / Labials may be calculated as follows:

Lycus (mythology)
The number of these names is 23:
1. LÚKOS, one of the Telchines[1] who fought under Dionysus in his Indian campaign.[2] He
is otherwise said to have erected a temple to Apollo Lycius on the banks of Xanthus river.[3]
2. LÚKOS, son of Prometheus and Celaeno, brother of Chimaerus. The brothers are said to
have had tombs in the Troad; they are otherwise unknown.[4]
3. LÚKOS of Athens, a wolf-shaped herο, whose shrine stood by the jurycourt, and the first
jurors were named after him.[5]
4. LÚKOS, an Egyptian prince as one of the sons of King Aegyptus. He suffered the same fate
as his other brothers, save Lynceus of Argos, when they were slain on their wedding night
by their wives who obeyed the command of their father King Danaus of Libya. Lycus was
the son of Aegyptus by Argyphia, a woman of royal blood and thus full brother of Lynceus,
Proteus, Enceladus, Busiris and Daiphron.[6] In some accounts, he could be a son of
Aegyptus either by Eurryroe, daughter of the river-god Nilus,[7] or Isaie, daughter of King
Agenor of Tyre.[8] Lycus married the Danaid Agave, daughter of Danaus and Europe.[6]
5. LÚKOS, son of Poseidon and Celaeno.[9]
6. LÚKOS, the "loudvoiced" satyr herald of Dionysus during the Indian War.[10] In secret
union, Hermes fathered him, Pherespondus and Pronomus, by Iphthime, daughter of Dorus.
[11] Eiraphiotes (i.e. Dionysus) entrusted to these three satyr brothers the dignity of 'the staff
of their wisdom-fostering father, the herald of heaven'.[12]
7. LÚKOS, son of Arrhetus and Laobie, who, together with his father and brothers, fought
under Deriades against Dionysus.[13]
8. LÚKOS, son of Pandion II and brother of King Aegeus of Athens.[14]
9. LÚKOS, son of Hyrieus and Clonia, and brother of Nycteus. He became the guardian of
Labdacus and Laius. Nycteus, unable to retrieve his daughter Antiope from Epopeus of
Sicyon, sent his brother Lycus to take her. He invaded Sicyon, killed Epopeus and gave
Antiope as a slave to his own wife, Dirce.[15]
10. LÚKOS, a descendant of the above Lycus, said to have usurped the power over Thebes.[16]
11. LÚKOS, son of Dascylus of Mysia or Mariandyne. He was hospitable towards the
Argonauts[17] and Heracles, who conquered the land of the Bebryces (Heraclea Pontica).
[18] He is apparently identical with the Lycus given as a son of Titias, brother of Priolaus
and eponym of a city.[19]
12. LÚKOS, same as Lycurgus (of Nemea).[20]
13. LÚKOS, the mortal lover of Coronis, mother of Asclepius.[21] He is otherwise commonly
known as Ischys, son of Elatus.
14. LÚKOS, a Thracian killed by Cycnus in single combat.[22]
19 Source: Lycus_(mythology)
15. LÚKOS, a centaur at the wedding of Pirithous and Hippodamia, was killed by Pirithous.[23]
16. LÚKOS, a defender of Thebes in the war of the Seven against Thebes.[24]
17. LÚKOS and Pernis are listed by Hyginus[25] as parents of Ascalaphus and Ialmenus, who
are otherwise known as sons of Ares and Astyoche.
18. LÚKOS, son of Ares and a Libyan king.[26]
19. LÚKOS, a Cretan princes as the son of King Idomeneus and Meda, probably the brother of
Orsilochus, Cleisithyra and Iphiclus. Together with the latter, they were slain by the usurper
Leucus.[27]
20. LÚKOS, one of the companions of Diomedes that were changed into birds in Italy[28]
21. LÚKOS, a lost companion of Aeneas[29]
22. LÚKOS, another companion of Aeneas, killed by Turnus.[30]
23. LÚKOS and Termerus were two notorious brigands in Caria.[31]

Pentagrams in different languages, as documented in Source 1, are significant because they reveal the structure and symmetry within language, presenting a fascinating intersection where words unintentionally or intentionally form perfect pentagrams. This suggests an intrinsic artistic and mathematical dimension to linguistic constructs. Conceptually, these configurations can symbolize unity or perfection and may offer insights into the linguistic traditions and cultural importance attached to the etymology and semantics of words across various languages.
The 'Paradisaical Language' concept is significant in linguistic studies because it explores an idealized form of language that presumably exists in a perfect state, untainted by historical changes or degradation. This concept challenges linguists to consider theoretical models of language purity and perfection, examining how real-world languages diverge from such models due to socio-historical influences. It serves as a philosophical metaphor for understanding fundamental linguistics, particularly in cognitive science and the pursuit of universal grammar.
The term 'Agnus Dei,' which translates to 'Lamb of God' in Latin, exemplifies the role of language as a powerful tool for cultural and religious expression. Within Christian theology, it symbolizes Jesus Christ as the sacrificial lamb, a core belief in redemption through sacrifice. Such language constructs carry profound meanings that transcend literal interpretation, serving as vehicles for shared beliefs, values, and historical continuity within a culture, particularly through liturgical traditions and sacred music.
Historical records contribute significantly to our understanding of the development of Indo-European languages by providing concrete evidence of linguistic evolution, contact, and divergence. They offer insights into how languages borrowed from each other, evolved new words, and developed unique grammatical constructs. Such records, like those of pentagrams or linguistic artifacts, enable researchers to trace back etymological paths and understand the socio-political and cultural factors that influenced language development across different regions and eras.
The methodologies to study the relationship between Sumerian and Dutch pentagrams involve comparative linguistics, which includes analyzing phonetic, semantic, and structural similarities and differences. These approaches may also use historical linguistics tools to identify common roots or influences that explain shared conceptual or word constructions. Despite the inherent challenges given the distinct evolutionary paths of these languages, such studies must critically evaluate assumptions of direct lineage or influence, considering wider language-contact scenarios and historical contexts.
Understanding 'horizontal and vertical mirrors in languages' can enhance modern linguistic analysis by introducing new dimensions of symmetry and reflection in linguistic studies, offering innovative ways to examine language patterns, transformations, and symmetry. This concept may reveal underlying structures or rules governing language syntax, morphology, and phonology, thereby aiding in computational linguistics, language modeling, or in the development of more effective language learning and teaching methodologies.
The etymology of 'Arminius' reflects historical significance by possibly linking the name to the historical figure Arminius, a chieftain known for his role in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, which was pivotal in halting Roman expansion into Germania. Its etymological origin is described as unknown because there is no clear consensus on its linguistic roots, reflecting limited historical records and variations in oral traditions that offer multiple interpretations of its origination.
The days of the week are named after deities and celestial bodies, reflecting virtues and values from Germanic, Roman, and Greek cultures. For example, 'Tuesday' is named after Tiw, a Germanic god of war, similar to Mars in Roman mythology, both embodying valor and strength. 'Wednesday' relates to Odin, paralleling Mercury, both associated with wisdom and eloquence. These names encapsulate cultural virtues, providing insight into how these societies ordered their lives around celestial observations and mythology, embedding cultural identity and continuity in everyday language.
The categorization of pentagrams in Hesiod's Theogony and other classical texts contributes to literary analysis by offering a structured way to analyze and interpret the text's symbolic and thematic elements. These pentagrams may represent harmony and balance among mythological narratives, serving as a literary device providing insight into the cultural understanding of universal order. By dissecting these configurations, scholars can unravel layers of meaning and socio-mythological context, enhancing comprehension of ancient mythologies and their impact on cultural lineage.
Linguistic erosion refers to the gradual loss or simplification of linguistic features over time, often due to language contact, cultural shifts, or the dominance of certain languages over others. Pentagrams, as mentioned in the sources, could offer protection against this erosion by encapsulating and preserving unique linguistic elements within their structured, symmetrical forms. They serve as a mnemonic device or symbolic representation, preserving the integrity and diversity of language structures amidst cultural homogenization and change.
