Germanic-chieftain-Catumerus-Actumerus-versus-Turkic-Aktemür

 

Paulys Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft
*

Mr. Pauly mentions the name of a chieftain of the Germanic tribe called Chatti (or Catti) whose homeland was near the upper Weser (Visurgis) river (in today's Germany the State of Hesse).

He writes the name down like Catumerus but he corrects that in the same sentence. He writes 



Catumerus "incorrect reading for Actumerus".

*

Ok. About the name itself there is no information. 

Till you read this article about this name.

*

Actumer-us sounds a 100 % Türkish!(If we accept -us as Roman suffix for male names and remove it).

AKTUMER's first part AK should be "the white". AK had many meaning like "the Elite" or "the West" or simply "the White". This part is very suitable for the Türkish onomastics. 

Second part TUMER is not that clear but clear enough.

TUMER could had been the word for iron, TEMÜR. This word we can read already on the Orkhun Memorial Stones. 

>temür kapıġka tegi süledim. (I fought until the iron gate.)

This word/name many variations in Türk languages like TÖMÜR, TEMIR, TIMER, TIMUR, TIMÜR, TEMUR, TEMÜR,TEYMUR or TÖMÖR, ...

WIKI knows more:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timur_(name)

*


*

That means:

AKTEMÜR could had been "The White Iron".

We see the same name in Türk-Ottoman history as the name of the nephew of the OSMAN (the founder-father of the Ottoman Empire). His name was AKTEMUR or AKTEMIR. One of the member of the Founder-Elite of the Ottoman-Türks.

AKDEMIR is still a very popular family name in Modern Türkiye. 

TIMURID Dynasty had the same word-origin after Tamerlane.

There is even a Iron God called TEMIR HAN in Türkic religion. A real important God for the ironsmithing nation Türks.

*

There is a very old word TOMAR I should mention, too.

This word means block/log of a tree. This is a possibility too. Maybe AKTUMER was a big and wide man. 

*

At least not not last, TUMIR is the name of a kind of drums in Ural-Volga Region where Türkish culture is very dominant. AK-TUMIR could also had been the "he with the white drums".

*

And I could mention the modern name in Türkiye, TÜMER, meaning "a whole man". This name though has nothing to do with IRON. I only wanted to show that the name is a 100% compatible with Türkic onomastics. 

*

To sum up:

I think this Germanic people had a Türk as chieftain or the Germanic chieftain had a name after a Türkic tradition. 

*


TURKISH VERSION:

Bay Pauly, anavatanı Yukarı Weser (Visurgis) Nehri'nin (bugünkü Almanya'da Hessen Eyaleti) yakınında olan Chatti (veya Catti) adlı Germen kabilesinin bir şefinin adını anar.

Bi adı Catumerus gibi yazıyor ancak aynı cümlede bunu düzeltiyor. Şöyle yazıyor:

Catumerus "Actumerus'un yanlış okunmuş hali".

*

İsmin kendisi hakkında hiçbir bilgi yok.

Bu isim hakkında bu makalemi okuyana kadar.

*

Actumer-us (erkek isimlerine eklenen -us ekini Roma eki olarak kabul edersek ve bunu atarsak) %100 Türkçe gibi duruyor!

AKTUMER'in ilk kısmı AK "beyaz" olmalı. AK'nin "Seçkin" veya "Batı" veya sadece "Beyaz" gibi birçok anlamı vardı. Adın bu ilk kısmı Türk onomastiği için çok uygundur.

İkinci kısım TUMER o kadar açık değil ancak yeterince açık.

TUMER demir kelimesi TEMÜR olabilirdi. Bu kelimeyi Orhun Anıt Taşları'nda zaten okuyabiliriz.

>temür kapıġka tegi süledim. (Demir kapıya değin savaştım.)

Bu kelime/ad Türk dillerinde TÖMÜR, TEMİR, TIMER, TIMUR, TIMÜR, TEMUR, TEMÜR,TEYMUR veya TÖMÖR gibi birçok varyasyona sahiptir, ...

WIKI daha fazlasını biliyor: 

kaynak: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timur_(name)

*

*

Bu şu anlama geliyor:

AKTEMÜR "AkDemir" olabilirdi.

Aynı ismi Türk-Osmanlı tarihinde OSMAN'ın (Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun kurucu babası) yeğeninin ismi olarak görüyoruz. Adı AKTEMUR veya AKTEMİR'di. Osmanlı-Türklerinin Kurucu-Seçkinlerinden biri.

TIMURID Hanedanlığı'nın kelime kökeni Timurlenk'in adı da aynı köktendi.

*

Türk dininde TEMİR HAN adında bir Demir Tanrı bile vardır. Demirci ulusu Türkler için gerçekten önemli bir Tanrı.

*

Bahsetmem gereken çok eski bir TOMAR kelimesi de var.

Bu kelime bir ağacın kütüğü anlamına gelir. Bu da bir olasılıktır. Belki AKTUMER kütük gibi iri yarı bir adamdı.

*

En azından son olarak, TUMIR, Türk kültürünün çok baskın olduğu Ural-Volga Bölgesi'nde bir tür davulun adıdır. 

AK-TUMIR, "beyaz davullu adam" olabilir.

*

Ve Türkiye'deki modern isim olan TÜMER'i, "bütün bir adam" anlamına gelen zikredebilirim. Ancak bu ismin DEMİR ile hiçbir ilgisi yok.

*

Bence bu Cermen halkının reisi bir Türk'tü veya bu Cermen reis Türk geleneğinden esinlenerek bir ad almıştı.

Scytho-Roman-Town-Carsium-Carso-Carsos-versus-Turkic-karshi

 

Paulys Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft

*


*

Carsium or Carso or Carsio or Carsos

A town in today's Romania where Milites Scythici (Scythian Soldiers) lived. We can assume that the name was a Scythian one. That leads us to a Türkic name, too. (I am sure that there were Türks in Scythian Empire).

And this word would be Karşı.

All the meanings of that Türkic word would be compatible with a military station on the banks of a river (Here Danube).

What does this Türkic word mean?

Karşı means the opposite side of the river Danube (like district Karşıyaka in Izmir with the same meaning).

Karşı means opponent, rival.

Karşı means fight.

Karşı means the palace of the khan.

*

As we see here the Türks were there as Scythians and gave Türkish names to towns. Türks and Türkish language are older than all Indo-Europeans claim.

*

Bonus town name:

Carsidava (Ancient GreekΚαρσίδαυα) was a Dacian town. Recent research placed Carsidava near Soroca town in Moldova. (Wikipedia)

*

Türkish version:

Carsium veya Carso veya Carsio veya Carsos

Bugünkü Romanya'da Milites Scythici'nin (İskit Erleri) yaşadığı bir kasaba. İsmin İskitçe olduğunu varsayabiliriz. Bu bizi doğrudan bir Türkçe ada da götürür.

Ve bu kelime "Karşı" dır. 

Bu Türk kelimesinin tüm anlamları bir nehrin kıyısındaki askeri istasyonla (burada Tuna Nehri) uyumlu olurdu.

Bu Eski Türkçe sözcük ne anlama geliyordu?

Karşı, Tuna nehrinin karşı yakası anlamına gelir (aynı anlama sahip İzmir'deki Karşıyaka ilçesi gibi).

Karşı, rakip anlamına gelir.

Karşı, kavga anlamına gelir.

Karşı, hanın sarayı anlamına gelir.

*

Burada gördüğümüz gibi Türkler İskit adı altında oradaydılar ve oturdukları yarlere Türkçe adlar verdiler. Türkler ve Türk dili, tüm Hint-Avrupalıların iddia ettiğinden daha eskidir.

*

Bonus kasaba adı:

Carsidava (Antik Yunanca: Καρσίδαυα) bir Dakya kasabasıydı. Son araştırmalar Carsidava'yı Moldova'daki Soroca kasabasının yakınlarına yerleştirdi. (Vikipedi)

Old-Roman-goddess-Carna-versus-Turkish-Karin

Paulys Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft

 *

Pauly mentions a very old Roman goddess. Her name was Carna. 

According to German wiki: 

Carna war eine der vielen „kleinen“ Göttinnen der römischen Mythologie. Sie war die Göttin des Herzens und der übrigen Organe sowie Schutzherrin der Gesundheit.

English translation: 

Carna was one of the many “minor” goddesses of Roman mythology. She was the goddess of the heart and the other organs, as well as the patron of health.

*

According to Italian wiki:

Carna (probabilmente dal latino caro-carnis, carne) o Cardia[1] era una ninfa che risiedeva in un antico bosco chiamato Alerno (o Elerno), vicino al fiume Tevere. Viene successivamente accolta tra le divinità con il compito di proteggere gli organi interni, in particolare dei bambini, e più in generale di assicurare il benessere fisico all'uomo.

English translation: 

Carna (probably from the Latin caro-carnis, flesh) or Cardia[1] was a nymph who resided in an ancient forest called Alerno (or Elerno), near the Tiber river. She was later welcomed among the divinities with the task of protecting the internal organs, especially of children, and more generally of ensuring the physical well-being of man.

*

If I may sum up: 

Carna was a very old Roman goddess, whose name has no real etymology. She was the goddess of the vital organs. 

*

Now my turn:

The very old Türkic word karın means middle front part of the body where the vital organs are. 

*

This Turkic words is also parallel to the carn in carnival. 

*

Still co-incidence?

*

*

*


Turkish version:

Pauly adı Carna olan çok eski bir Roma tanrıçasının adını anar. 

Alman wikisine göre:

Carna, Roma mitolojisinin birçok "küçük" tanrıçasından biriydi. Kalp ve diğer organların tanrıçasıydı, aynı zamanda sağlığın da koruyucusuydu.

*

İtalyan wiki'sine göre:

Carna (muhtemelen Latince caro-carnis, et kelimesinden gelir) veya Cardia[1], Tiber nehri yakınlarındaki Alerno (veya Elerno) adlı antik bir ormanda yaşayan bir periydi. Daha sonraları, özellikle çocukların iç organlarını koruma ve daha genel olarak insanın fiziksel refahını sağlama göreviyle tanrılar arasına kabul edildi.

*

Özetleyecek olursam:

Carna, isminin gerçek bir etimolojisi olmayan çok eski bir Roma tanrıçasıydı. Hayati organların tanrıçasıydı.

*

Şimdi sıra bende:

Karın çok eski bir Türkçe sözcük olup, vücudun hayati organların bulunduğu orta ön kısmı anlamına gelmektedir.

*

Bu Türkçe sözcük aynı zamanda karnavaldaki carn kelimesine de paraleldir.

*


Hala tesadüf mü diyelim?

Kutrigur-Chieftain-Khinialon-its-Turkic-etymology

 

Kutrigurs Utrigurs Huns Avars - Pic: wiki

*

O. Maenchen-Helfen wrote that the name of Kutrigur chieftain 

Khinialon or Chinialon or Chinialus or Χινιαλών

is of undetermined origin. 

*

With all due respect let me determine it!

*

There are very good two probabilities from the Türk language:

1. Kını Yalıng 

Kın means sword sheath and yalıng/yalang means naked (in the sense of unadorned, plain, simple).

(Possessive suffix: -ı)

> simple-sheathed 

> he whose sheath is simple

*

2. Kını Yalın (almost the same word) 

Kın means sword sheath and yalın means flame, glow (shiny).

> Shiny-sheathed

> he whose sheath is shiny

*

These are the proposals that I have made. I wouldn't say they were far-fetched. My both proposals are very suitable for a chieftain, too.

*

Türkish version:


O. Maenchen-Helfen, Kutrigur başbuğunun adı olan

Khinialon veya Chinialon veya Chinialus veya Χινιαλών'un 

belirsiz bir kökene sahip olduğunu söylüyor.

*

Herr Maennchen-Helfen'a saygı duyarım ama bunun bu adın kökenini belirlememe engel olmasını istemem!

*

Bakalım: 

Türk dilinden çok iyi iki olasılık var:

1. Kını Yalıng

Kın kılıç kılıfı anlamına gelir ve yalıng/yalang çıplak anlamına gelir (süslenmemiş, sade, basit anlamında)

> sade-kınlı

*

2. Kını Yalın (neredeyse aynı sözcük)

Kın kılıç kılıfı anlamına gelir ve yalın sözcüğünün alev, parıltı; parlak anlamları vardır. 

> Parlak-kınlı

*

Yaptığım öneriler bunlar. Bunların abartılı olduğunu söyleyemem. Bu iki önerimin de bir başbuğ adı olması hiç de olanaksız değildir.

The name is probably explained by the fact that in Baiae the mother of the gods was united with a mater Baiana, who was worshipped as a city goddess (cf. the Reatinus pater CIL IX 4676, pater Pyrgensis XI 3107, see also Albsis pater); the M(ater) d(eum) m(agna) Port(us) Aug(usti) et Traiani felicis CIL XIV 408. 429 is also named after the place of her worship.
