The English Words Sun and Sol in Your Language

Dear all

Please do not post without doing a research (google, use keywords diana+etruscan) Artumis, as you can obviously see is a cognate of the greek Artemis. Diana is the latin moon good, widely accepted that it has a etruscan origin.

Jana, Tana, Fana etc are other etruscan godesses, and in albanian you can find the Hana and Zana concepts. I am not pretending anything, just pointed out some similarities.

Regarding nedelja, I am sure that the slavic theory explains it better. It was just a hypothesis, knowing that the "day with no work" was Saturday - Shabat traditionally in monotheistic cultures. In polytheistic prehistorical cultures I dont'know if they had any special holydays to relax at the weekend.

So she is Artume and Aritimi in which languages? Because yes, in Greek it is Artemis.

In basque
Sun: Iguski, Eguski
Moon: Ilargi
Earth: Lur
Star: Izar

Artumes is another name of the moon goddes for the etruscans, but this time I would say that they borrowed it form the greeks (we are aware that the cultures interacted). Another etruscan name for the moon is Lusna, or Losna, from which we have the latin Luna. Tana / Diana the other etruscan name for the moon could be connected to the proto-albanian (illyrian) Hana / Thana / Zana, because it is known that even this cultures interacted. But we can never know in which linguistic culture the name originated.

Back to Albanian, the albanian word for the earth are Tokë / Toka, but also Dhè / Dhèu (Dhèri, Dhèthi). In the case of Dhè , it could be related with the greek goddes Demetra (De - Earth + Metra - IE root Mother). It could be related also to the latin Dea - Deus etc.

The albanian word for star, Yll or Hyll, is very probably related with the greek for sun Helion. The earliest known Illyrian king XII cent BC was named Hyllus (greek version of his name). The illyrians in their daily culture probably worshiped the stars. Another famous illyrian name (of a king) is Bardhyl (Bardylis). The name means white star - from albanian - Bardhë (white) + Yll (star). The albanian word for White - Bardhë is very probably related to the english(germanic) bright.

Sun: can we use "suns", "earths" or "moons"? Is that correct taking our Earth/Terra as reference point and considering we're calling "The Sun" the sun we have it her ein our Solar System? Same for "The Moon".... and same for Earth (Terra)...
