Turkish-word-Kara-in-Scarab-Scorpion-Caratacus-Kharaton




Today's issue is the ancient Turkish word KARA

meaning simply "black". It is but not that simple. No. Link below is about the word kara and its meanings. The author Choi shows the "black" in Korean, Japanese and Chinese cultures in this shot article:

*





Black means not only Black in Ancient Turkish but also Holy, Sacred, Strong, too.

In those pics above you see many examples how a Turkish tradition about BLACK gone into the traditions of the adjacent cultures and peoples.

*

First personality with KARA in his name is Caratacus, a Celtic chieftain who resisted the Roman conquest of Britain (1. C AD). the last -s or -us we can put away than we have KARATAK / KARATAKU we can explain them with Kara-Tag (Holy Mountain) or Kara-takı (Strong Bird, Hen)


A Turkish Elite Force/Commander/Chieftain who lead and organized the Celtic Tribes against Roman Rule?

*
Second one is KHARATON the first King of the European Huns we could translate this totally Turkish word as Black Coat/ed, but it could be Holy Coat/ed, too. See below the article. 
Vambery and Pritsak say the same.pic3 Wiki Han-Woo Choi suggests TON is od Turkish origin pic1

and now the "HOLY" insect of Ancient Egyptian. Latin Scarabaeus<Greek Karabos κάραβος(Origin unclear; the irregular suffix and phonetics suggest a Pre-Greek loan) Look at the Turkish word KARABÖ meaning "black insect".(BÖ means venomous spider, later any kind of small insect)

After Egyptian Scarabeo now look at Akkadian Agarbio(>Scorpion) A clear similarity bw these 2 words
(s)agarbio - (s) corpion >< (s)carabeo 
both are maybe from bö? Is it the basic similarity?
I think I have the point here, a new point, I guess. Wiktionary had this point, too







There Are surely other KARA personalities, places, animals that we can chase and find in the world history.
