Notes to Gerald Massey's Ancient Egypt jwr
Originally the roots for English language may have started as a religious concept based on the deity “IAU” or “IAO” - which have been explained 1907 in Gerald Massey's Massey's Ancient Egypt (which now is in the public domain). Read Free ForI to Days Some of the relevant quotations already had been summarized in appendix I 30 to English and Globish - Optimized Linguistic Designs. Designs . This manuscripts adds some other relevant quotations towards the vowels' symbolism, which accidentally seems to be related to “IAU” respectively “IAO”.
The Ass Massey suggests to consider the ass's utterance “ee-aw” as a prototype for the vowel IAOU – transits, from which the Egyptian language derived the ass's name Iu, Aiu, and Aai . The ass's utterance seems to have been the symbol for the first step towards extending the divine concept to a full Gnostic name of seven vowels: Jehovah. This legendary concept might promote the ass to the author of the musical scale. DISCOVER NEW BOOKS

Expressing Vowels in Hieroglyphs What still puzzles me is: •
•
the erroneous sequence of the vowels in Aiu, which should be IAU or (the correctly spelled) Iahu, and – most of all – the proof how Egyptians might have been able to write down vowels in hieroglyphs. After After all the Egyptians had an alphabet of 24 consonants. Read Free For 30 Days
However I learned the method for expressing vowels by using the “glottal stop” such as in “I didn't say some mice, I said some ice” 5. In fact in this book the alphabet starts with the symbols for the vowels A, I or Y, Y, W or U, O, which would be sufficient s ufficient for IAU and IAOU. I didn't dig deeper than that however.
Manx, Cornish, Welsh Massey also refers to the “prehistoric” Jews of Cornwall and he suggests that the divine names in several languages (Manx Iee, Cornish Iau, Welsh Iau) may indirectly (via Iah-Jehovah Iah-Jehovah . Iah) have 6 been derived from the Egyptian name Iu . DISCOVER NEW BOOKS

The letter H - “All came out of the letter H.” From: Ancient Egypt – The Light of the World (Vol. 1 - page 42) by Gerald Massey Gerald Massey According to the hidden Wisdom, which is now almost a dead letter, there are reasons why we should be particular in sounding the letter H as an aspirate9. In the hieroglyphics one H or Ha-sign is the fore-part of a Lion, signifying that which is first, beginning, essence, chief, or Lord; and Shu the power of Breathing-force is represented by a panting lion. This, then, is the “Ha,” and in expelling the breath it makes the sound of Ha. Thus the Lion says “Ha,” and is the figure of breathing-force; and this one of the origins in language survives in the letter H—when properly aspirated. It is a dark saying of the Rabbins that “All came out of the letter H.” The Egyptian zoötypes and hieroglyphics are the letters in which such dark sayings were written and can still be read. The letter H, Hebrew He, Egyptian Ha, is the sign of breath, as a Soul of Life, but as the hieroglyph hieroglyphics ics show, show, even the breath that is first signified signified was not human. The earliest typical breather breather is an animal. The panting panting lion imaged the likeness likeness of the solar force and the breath of the breeze at dawn, as an ideographic zoötype of this especial Naturepower. On the line of upward ascent the lion was given to the god Shu, the Egyptian Mars.

From: Ancient Egypt – The Light of the World (Vol. 1-page 501) by Gerald Massey Gerald Massey It is noticeable that the prophet calls the Lord who is to gather the Jews together from all lands by the double name of Iah-Jehovah Iah-Jehovah . Iah is the Egyptian Iu, whose followers were the primeval Jews of Egypt north and south s outh (Pathros), of Æthiopia and Chaldea, of the islands of the sea, and the remotest shores of the earth, including the Jews of Cornwall .

This range will include the black Jews of Africa and India, and all the rest of those whose god we identify identify with Iu the Egyptian original and prototype of all; Iu as god the son, whether of the father as Atum or as Ptah. No such world-wide dispersion of the Jewish race from Palestine or Judea had ever occurred in the time of Isaiah. It is the religious community, not the race, that will account for the Jews who emigrated to the ends of the earth, and for the names of the Jewish god, who was the Egyptian Iu, Phoenician Iao, Hebrew Iah, Assyrian Assyrian Iau, Egypto-gnostic Ieou (greater and lesser), lesser), Chinese Chinese Iaou, Polyn Polynesia esian n Iho-Iho, Dyak Dyak Iaouh, Nicoba Nicobarr Island Islandss Eewu, Mexican Ao, Toda Au, Hungarian Iao, Man Manx Iee, Corn Cornis ish h Iau, Welsh elsh Iau (greater and lesser), Hebrew Iao-Sabaoth, Chaldean Iao-Heptaktis, Greek Ia, and IE 12, Latin Jupiter and Jove.

There was a religion of the god Iu or Iao Iao in Egypt thirteen thousand years ago. That god was Atum-Iu, born son of Ptah. He was the earliest father in heaven because he was the divine Read Free Forwas 30 Days Ra in his primordial sovereignty. He is the god in two persons who first figured as the sun upon the double horizon = the father in the west, the son in the east. This god went forth from Kam by several names and various routes. Those who worshipped him as Atum became the Adamites, the Edomites, the red men; those who worshipped him as Iao, Iah, or Iu became the Jews in many lands, and these are the Jews of that world-wide dispersion recognized by Isaiah, which did not follow any known historical exodus from Egypt or captivity in Babylon, or migration from Palestine.

The same god is found in the Babylonian mythology with the name Ia, or Iau = Iah in Hebrew (Pinches, T. G., Proc. Soc. of Bib. Arch.). Arch.). But it is not necessary to suppose the Assyrian god Iau was derived from the Hebrew deity Iahu, or vice or vice versa, when there is a common origin for both in the Egyptian god Iu. This is not a matter merely of philology, philology, but of the characters in the mythology. mythology. Iau is “the sage of the gods” ( Assyn. Fragments). Fragments). ...

Iu, as Egyptian, is represented by Iao in Phoenician and in Hebrew. Clement Alexander, who was an Egyptian, spells the name of Jehovah as Iau. Thus, “ Iu” is the ass in Egyptian, Iao is a name of the god with an ass’s head, and Iau is Jehovah, the god of the Jews and the Christians also. Epiphanius asserts that the deity Sabaoth has the face of an ass. He calls it “the gnostic Sabaoth.” But Sabaoth was also the Jewgod, or god Iu, who was known by the name of Iao-Sabaoth Iao-Sabaoth.
