BRASS BaRZeL Bet-Resh-Zayin-Lamed
bar-SZ(EL)________ ברזל____________[BRZ(L)]
ROOTS: Old English braes (brass) is from the same
"obscure source" (to quote the Amer. Heritage Dict.) as the Latin noun and Indo-European “root” ferrum (iron).
In (Genesis 4:22) תובל קין Tubal-cain ushers
in the Bronze Age (which preceded the Iron Age). Abraham’s Hebrew clan merely
dates back to the Late Bronze Age, compounding the confounding of scholars who
do want want to see a Pre-Hebrew, prehistoric Edenic of the Modern Human
homeland.
The Hebrew term ברזל BaRZeL is translated "iron," but BRASS or
BRONZE (nasalized with an extra N) is more appropriate – see “BRONZE.”
There is also Post-Biblical Hebrew פליז PiLeeYZ (brass), Aramaic
פליזא PiLeeYZAh (brass) and Arabic filazz (a non-precious metal). Standard bilabial, liquid
and fricative shifts are needed to get back
to BRASS.
BRANCHES: A
Biblical variant is PaRZeL or FaRSeL
(iron in Chaldean, and the key to Latin words like ferreus (of iron), and FERR-, FERRI and FERRO- words. FERREOUS,
containing iron, comes from Latin ferreus. It is traced to Latin ferrum, iron, but ironically this
adjective may preserve an older FRS word, closer to its ultimate Edenic origin: ברזל BaRZeL .
The L may have dropped out
before the Iron Age. The Latin suffix um-
can be dismissed, as seen in the “iron” words of French (fer ), Rumanian (fier), Italian and Portuguese (ferro). In seven dialects of Malay/Indonesian the word for “iron” is besi, reinforcing the concept that the oldest “iron”
term had a B and an S. The R may have dropped out.
BRASSY, BRAZEN, BRAZIER, FARRIER, FERRI-, FERRO-, FERROUS, FERRUGINOUS
and FER-DE-LANCE are related.
Basque burdina ( iron) is from ברזל BaRZeL (iron).
(More D from Zayin/Z shifts, normal for how Aramaic was spun off of
Edenic, at “AUSCULTATE.”)
Do any
languages retain an echo of the Zayin-Lamed end of the Edenic
ברזל BaRZeL?
There is Polish iron, zelazo, and iron in Czech and Serbo-Croatian: zelazo.
Dutch iron, ijzer, may display a liquid shift (L à R) of an ancient Zayin-Lamed. In Turkish pirinc (peerench) brass < N ברזל BaRZeL, iron.
BRASIL has
the world's richest iron deposits. Speculation has attributed the name to
Pre-Columbian Phoenician traders (the acceptable academic euphemism for Semitic speakers … who knew the sound and worth of ברזל
BaRZeL).
Perhaps COPPER can be linked to עפרת GHoPHeReT (usually translated "lead"). NIK[H]oaSHeT, the "brass" of Genesis 4:22, may link up to NICKEL. Turkish gümüs (silver) < M213 S-G
S-N נחשת Ni[K]HoaSHe(S), copper, brass.
Tubal-Cain ( above), who is celebrated
as founding the foundries of metallurgy,
is the obvious source of the Roman god VULCAN. It is more obvious when the name is read in
Hebrew: (Too)-BHahL-KaYiN, with
the first syllable dropping. This
(V)ahL-KaYiN gave English VOLCANO, VULCANIZED rubber, etc. See “VOLCANO.”
