Amboss-Anvil-Örs |
- Today I am writing about Hammer and Anvil.
- Indogerman root ORDO, (URDO?) means hammer. Like you see above, the earlier forms of this word are ORRD, UIRD, G-ORRD, ORD, ORZ,(H)IRD-AN, etc...
- There is a very interesting Turkish word "ÖRS" meaning anvil. Örs comes from the ancient root OR-/UR- (in today's Turkish VUR-). OR-/UR- is a verb meaning to hit, to knock, to hammer (schlagen, hauen, hammern, klopfen).
- When we take the verb(action) OR-/UR-, the words "Hammer and Anvil" become similar to each other: >> with a hammer we knock on anvil, they knock each other. Breton word ORZ (for hammer) is nearly same with the Turkish ÖRS (for anvil). It is possible, that this "verb" is included in IE words "Ordo" and "slecg-wyrhta" (Old English for one who works with a hammer, a worker in metals), maybe "he who hammers"? (Wyrh = vur?)
- When this workers work is done, you can say in Turkish "o urdu" meaning "he hammered".
