I have already gathered a whole collection of Russian words that are spelled the same in many languages, and I decided to combine them into one article.
Navigator
The first word I found was navigator. And the corresponding word "navigation". It is officially believed that this word comes from the Latin word "navigo", which means "I am sailing on a ship." Or in more detail in the English version:
Table of Geography, Hydrography and Navigation, from the Cyclopedia of 1728.
My opinion is that "sailing on a ship" or even "steering a ship" is not the same as navigating. Even coming from the official explanation for this process:
Those. navigation is an art or ability to get from point A to point B. A navigator, respectively, is the person who owns this art / skill.
And best of all, the meaning of this word is deciphered in the Russian interpretation: "navi-gatit" - "gatit nav", or in other words: to pave the way from reality to reality through nav. Guided, not by some technical devices, but by their natural feeling, intuition (feeling of the navi, astral world). What navigation was in ancient times. Long before the navigation devices known there appeared and the term "navigation" appeared in a modern interpretation. The most ancient navigators are considered the Polynesians:
Europeans believe that the Polynesians used their knowledge of currents, positions of stars, weather, fauna, wave size in order to move between their many islands, some of which are at a distance of several thousand kilometers from each other. So, for example, from Easter Island to the nearest inhabited island Pitcairn 2075 km.
It is now difficult for many to imagine that in addition to the physical organs of observation and knowledge of the world, a person can also have clairvoyance, clairaudience and clairvoyance, that is, interact with the Navi (astral) world and draw from it the information necessary for oneself. I think it was these abilities that the ancient Polynesian navigators used. And all the other navigators too.
An even bolder and even more fantastic explanation of the term "gatit nav" is teleportation. Those. move from point A to point B by jumping over the astral plane. In which physical distances do not exist, because completely different laws operate. Our ancestors also called this method of movement "blow" or "easy access". And for some reason in Russian it is customary to say that a ship goes by the sea, and does not sail …
Hawaiian navigators, sailing multipurpose canoes, c. 1781.
It was on such canoes that the Polynesians overcame, according to the official version, a thousand-kilometer distance between the islands. Or maybe it’s true? The boat departed from the coast, after a while disappeared from the field of view and at the same moment appeared at the coast of another island? It is believed that the Polynesians did all this between 3000 and 1000 BC. Next comes the leap in information about navigation immediately in the Middle Ages, and more specifically in the 12th century, to the invention of the compass.
Compass
And this is another word, which is not in all, but in many European languages, sounds and spelled the same: in English “compass”, in German “Kompass”, in Dutch “kompas”, in French “compas”.
It is believed that the first compass appeared in China. It looked like a spoon pointing south.
Xi Nan, The first compass from "China".
Wondering why south and not north? Is it not from here that the orientation of old maps is unusual for us - upside down? A single north-south designation system for all countries, both now and then. This first compass was used not for navigation, but in geomancy, which is now referred to as fortune telling. But earlier, apparently, they did not think so. Rather, it was forecasting, or foresight, and perhaps quite accurate. For example, this geomantic tool reminds me more of a slide rule than fortune telling:
Geomantic instrument, 1241
But now it's not about geomancy, but about the compass.
In addition to the compass in the form of a spoon showing the direction to the south, in China there was also a compass in the form of a chariot, with the same function.
A hypothetical model of a chariot with a differential mechanism. Exhibited at the Science Museum in London, England.
Those. was this chariot used for building roads, or making accurate maps? Such a chariot was invented in China several times. First in 2600 BC. then in 429-500 AD. e. There are texts claiming that such chariots were used until 1300 AD.
The earliest known mention of the use of a compass for navigation at sea, according to foreign historians, is in the Chinese book Pingzhou Ke Tang (Pingzhou Drinking Conversations), 1117. Later in the 12th century, the use of the compass spread to Europe through the Arabs. The ship's compass has been used in Europe since about 1350. Everything would be nothing in this information, except for one significant "BUT": in the 12th century (and even earlier, even more so) China in the current concept did not exist yet. This follows from old maps, as well as from the book by Marco Polo about his trip to Tartaria, where he describes the provinces of Cathay and Manga as Tartar provinces. About Chin (China) in his book does not say a WORD. He also talks about inventions, but Tartar, not Chinese. More about this in the series of articles "Unknown Tartary"
So, there was a compass in Tartary, navigation was also there. And accordingly there was a powerful fleet. Mentions of which are found in the same Marco Polo. But, nevertheless, there is very little information about him, at least in the available sources.
From what we have: Sea flags of Tartary and Russia from the atlas “Flags of all Nations. Religions and Races of the World editions of Sshonberg and Company, 1865:
1 Imperial Standard of Russia - a double-headed eagle on a gold background; 2 military flag or Andreevsky; 3 tricolor - trade flag; 4 festive, currently the flag of Tallinn. For more details about sea flags in the article "Leave the eternal dispute between the Slavs!"
HMS Eagle with HMS Tartar and convoy in distance, off Sable Island, Nova Scotia, 13 June 1776.
Speaking of navigation: The more states are developed in terms of navigation, the more information about everything related to this is available in these languages. So, there is not a lot of information in Turkish about navigation, and it is not related to navigation. Another proof that modern Turkey has nothing to do with the Ottoman (Ataman) Empire, and, accordingly, with the Russian-Turkish (?) Wars, too.
And by the way about the tricolor. This is another Russian word used in foreign languages without translation.
Tricolor
The word "tricolor" (tricolour or tricolor), consists of two words: three + color (color). It is believed that the word "kohler" was borrowed by the Russian language from the Polish language, which, in turn, borrowed it from Latin. But knowing already the age of the Slavic languages and the Latin language, one can doubt this.
It is believed that the tricolor, despite its Russian sound, first appeared in Europe as a symbol of republicanism, freedom or even revolution. First in the Netherlands in 1579, as a symbol of the Dutch Republic during its 8-year struggle for independence from the Spanish Empire. The next was the tricolor of the French Republic:
So, first at the end of the 16th century, then very actively from the end of the 18th to the middle of the 19th century, a wave of struggle for independence from various monarchies swept across all countries of the planet. Many of the republics formed at that time (Cisalpine, Cisrein, Anconitan, Helvetic, Transpadan and a whole host of other republics) did not exist for several years. And all these countries have chosen the design of the tricolor flag - as a symbol of independence. Only in Russia did it have a different meaning. Which one?
The transformation of the white flag of the French monarchy into the Tricolor as a result of the July revolution, painting by Léon Cognit (1830).
At the same time, according to many alternative researchers, there was some kind of powerful planetary catastrophe. Rather, there were two of them. One just before the beginning of the "Renaissance" (approx. The end of the 16th-beginning of the 17th century according to many alternative researchers) - the restoration of the destroyed in the catastrophe, the second - in the 1st half of the 19th century. During the first catastrophe, Tartaria suffered significant losses, after the second - it ceased to exist, at least officially. There was a reformatting of management, which in the official version of history is described as a revolutionary liberation movement under the banner of the tricolor.
Examples of tricolors.
Still, in my opinion, of all the white-blue-red tricolors, the most correct arrangement of colors is in Russian: red at the bottom is the physical world (reality), blue in the middle is the world of the soul (nav), white at the top is the Divine world (right) … Trinity of body, soul and Spirit.
The next Russian word, spelled the same in all languages, may not be associated with navigation, but associated with the trinity, at least in the physical sense - this is the Russian "troika".
Troika
Why is the troika of horses called the RUSSIAN troika? And in all languages it sounds exactly like that, without translation, like a proper name: Troika.
Didn't other nations have triplets? And why are the heads turned in different directions? I found a possible explanation for this in an interesting old book called "History of four-legged animals, snakes and insects", 1658. editions:
The constellation of the dragon was at its zenith sometime before the pole shift. Perhaps that is why the dragon was depicted on the flag of Tartary? Russian three-headed troika looking left, straight and right - an echo of a three-headed dragon, vigilant for the past, present and future?
The dragon is dead! And our past is forgotten and distorted. This causes distortions in the present, and therefore, may cause distortions in the future. The past is the FOUNDATION on which the present is built. Remove the foundation and the whole building will collapse. This means that there will be no future. Read more about the dragon in the article "Dragon - an ancient Slavic symbol"
I think that the next Russian word is very closely related to navigation: how about on a long journey without a source of energy to maintain vitality? And this, of course, is a samovar! Although not a self-assembled tablecloth. But he cooks himself - not bad either.
Samovar
Thanks to the article tech_dancer "At the samovar, me and mine …?" I discovered another Russian word that is spelled the same in all languages - this is a samovar. Unlike the previous words, the word "samovar" is spelled the same not only in European languages, but also in Asian ones. Russian Wikipedia claims that the first samovar appeared in China. The Chinese do not share this opinion. Here is their version:
In all these countries, the samovar was called in Russian, except for Western Europe, where the samovar was called authepsa or autepsa, which, in general, means "samovar" in translation from the Greek language. In the Kashmir language (this is a state in India) the samovar is spelled "samavar".
Samovars of the countries listed here:
Ancient Tula samovar.
Traditional Kashmiri copper samovar.
Turkish samovar.
Persian samovar.
Iranian samovar.
The internal structure of the samovar.
My grandmother also had such a samovar. She put cedar cones in it, and fanned the fire with her boot. I was small and, unfortunately, I don't remember much, but I remembered the boots on the samovar well.
It must be said that the samovar also resembles a vase or urn in its shape.
Decorative vase as a central design element in the painting Italian seaport Jan Veniks, c. 1666.
A vase is a vessel for decoration, and an urn is called for storing the ashes of the dead. But their shape differed only in that the urn was covered with a lid on top.
Etruscan black vase hydria, early 5th century BC e.
Roman burial urn.
Coincidentally or not, but both of these words are also spelled the same in all European languages, as well as in Turkish and Uzbek.
Vase: English - vase, German - Vase, French - vase, Dutch - vaas, Spanish - vasi, Italian - vaso, Portuguese - vaso, Swedish - vas, Polish - wazon, Romanian - vază, Mongolian - vaar, Turkish - vazo, Uzbek - vaza, Mongolian "vaar" already has a little something in common with "samovar".
Urn: English -urn, German and French - urne, Italian, Swedish - urna, Portuguese - urnas.
It is believed that both "vase" and "urn" are derived from the Latin "vas" and "urna". Although urns were known long before the emergence of the Latin language. For example, the custom of cremating bodies and collecting their ashes in a vase has been documented by finds from at least the 7th millennium BC. in China. (Source) Judging by the fact that the ending "A" is typical for Slavic languages and not at all typical for European (except for borrowed words), then Latin stands between them. How is the intermediate stage? First, they changed the Slavic words into Latin, and then from Latin into various European languages, with the removal of the ending "A" or "I" in the words. But these words have survived on old maps in the names of states.
Digression: inscriptions on old maps
One of the earliest maps:
Ebstorf Map, 1290.
According to the indicated source, the map is in high resolution, all inscriptions on it are clearly visible. The map is drawn in the form of a circle, conventionally divided into three parts. The rightmost part is labeled "Africa", the upper part of the rest of the circle is labeled "Asia", the lower part is labeled "Europe". In the African part, there are the names Egypt, Libya. Further in the European part: Sicily, Calabria (Italy) and in the same place Roma, to the left - Liguria (also Italy), below - FRANOIA (France), Britain (also France), even to the left - England, Scotia, HIBNIA (Ireland), Germany … In the Asian part - Arabia, Samaria, Galilee, in the same place Jericho (Palestine), Assyria, Parthia (the territory of modern Turkmenistan, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan), India, Scythia. Of all the names on the map, only Egypt and Jericho do not end in "A". And no England, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, etc. By the way, neither China, nor Mongolia, nor the Golden Horde on this map yet. There is India and Scythia.
In addition to this map, there is also the Fra Mauro map, 1459, the Urban Monte map, 1590 and other medieval maps with the same exact endings of the countries. By the way, Greece is not on all these maps yet. On the Fra Mauro map, only Italy, Albania, Macedonia, Duca me de Athens, Croatsia, Bulgaria, Ungaria are indicated in that area. On the map of Urbana Monte - Avstria (Austria), Albania (Albania), Moldavia (Moldavia), Macedonia (Macedonia), Romania (Romania), Tracia (Trakia-Thrace).
And returning to the vases - samovars.
In addition to the functions already listed, they had one more - lighting.
Illumination at Versailles with luminous vases.
And also as etheric condensers:
Read more about this in the article "Mysterious Illuminations of the 18th-19th Centuries" And in many other articles tech_dancer
So, it is quite possible that samovars brewed not only tea, but also something stronger - electricity. Or maybe … even stronger? If you add only one letter to the word “cook” and you will get “to create” - again, one letter, apparently, was replaced later, and it turned out to be “create”. And only in the word "creature" the correct spelling remained. The meaning of the word, however, was later distorted into the exact opposite. But this happened with many other concepts.
Mom and Dad
In conclusion, and probably should have started with this: Russian words, which are also written in many European languages, are mom and dad. In Dutch and in German in general, it is exactly the same: mama and papa; in English (for children): mamma, mam, mammy, mama, pa, papa; in French maman, papa; in Italian: mamma, papa. In Spanish: mama, papa.
Drawing * My family *, FIELDS ELOVSKIKH Young Artist.
“Mama” even sounds very similar in Kazakh, Tatar, and Azerbaijani - the same “ana”, similar to them in Turkish -Anne, in Uzbek - Ona, for some reason in Hungarian -anya. In Tuvan it is ava, in Vietnamese it is mẹ.
With “dad” there are even fewer options, in many languages it is simply “papa / papa”, in Greek - παπά, in Kyrgyz - ata, in Polish - tato, in Turkish - baba. Babay - is it by chance, not a Turkish dad, with whom our parents scared us all in childhood?
The presence of the same words in our time does not surprise anyone - globalization, the Internet, everything is the same everywhere - computers, telephones. Radio, TV, subway, car, but the planes are called differently. And then? Was there one kind of people who then spread throughout the planet? But there seemed to be a lot of peoples, and this can be judged by haplogroups. Or was it a global state, one for the entire planet? The fact that there is a lot in common between Eurasia and the indigenous population of the Americas, I have already partially written in the article “Elongated skull shape. Imitation of the gods? But there are even more similarities between these different parts of the world than described in that article, including the burial urns there too:
Maya Funeral Urn from Kaminaljuyu, Guatemala.
There was a global state that no longer exists. But when it was, it could not exist without fast means of communication - communication and communication. It is now generally accepted that the farther into the past, the more primitive life was. But primitive life presupposes the presence of separate, scattered small groups of people. On a large scale, the state is able to exist only with developed means of communication, IMHO. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the existence of the same customs and the same words among different peoples, which are hundreds and thousands of years old.
