Anatolian-God-Kakasbeos-Kakasbos-Kakasba-Kakazbeo-versus-Turkish-KakizBay

 

Paulys Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft

*


*

Mr. Pauly mentions Kakasbos/Kakasbeus, an equestrian god from Asia Minor (today Türkiye). Kakasba was also found as a third version on steles (see link below). We can see even Kakazbei as a fourth version:




There are etymological tries but they are not certain. 

*

I have a better idea!

Türkish words Kakız and Bay would be a 100% compatible. 

> Kakasbos / Kakasbeus = Kakız Bay

*

Let me explain these Türkish words: 

Kakı- means to be angry > Kakız: mean a brave hero, (maybe an angry/aggressive one). 

We read in Oghuz Kagan legend

"oğuz kağan bir iriz kakız kişi irdi." =(Oghuz Kagan was a brave man).

+

Bay meant in Türkish holy or God (himself). (see Bay-ana, a Türkish goddess).

That means Kakız-Bay would mean a "brave (aggressive) God". A very Türkic name that is compatible with Türkish onomastics. 

*

I think these 2 names are compatible with each other. 

Again we can write them down together like:

Kakasbos / Kakasbeus / Kakasba / Kakazbeo = Kakız Bay

Ancient-Greek-Deity-Kairos-Turkic-Kayra-Kayir

 

Paulys Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft

*


*

Mr. Pauly mentions Kairos, as the personification of καιρός, the god of the favorable moment. He is the youngest son of Zeus. 

Etymology is not crystal clear. 

*

It is an important deity, actually, but we don't know much about him. We can read about him maybe much but we would still not know much about him.

*

At first my first thought was the Kayra Han / Kayır Han.

He is the creator and chief god in Turkish and Altai mythology. He comes to the fore in Altai, Tuva, Khakas and Yakut mythology. His father is the first God, Gök Tengri, he has no mother. He determines the fate of the universe. (Türkish wiki).

*

The similarity of these names are startling. Kair-os / Kairo-s and Kayır/Kayra. It is too much coincidence for me. Two different cultures, two different geographical areas, two different times, one name. Can we still call it coincidence?

But not enough. There are others. Urartians had a deity called Kuera, Huns had a Thunder-god Kuara (by Albanian missionary bishop Israel, 682 AD), and Bulgarians Kuara/Kvara (directly corresponding to Türkic Kayra).  

*

Now if somebody says there is no connections, this is only a coincidence, then s/he should read my blog to see thousands of such "coincidences"...

*

Türkçesi

Bay Pauly, Kairos'tan, elverişli anın tanrısı καιρός'un kişileştirilmiş hali olarak bahseder. Zeus'un en küçük oğludur.

Etimolojisi çok net değildir.

*

Aslında önemli bir tanrıdır, ancak onun hakkında fazla bir şey bilmiyoruz. Belki hakkında çok şey okuyabiliriz ancak yine de onun hakkında fazla bir şey bilemeyiz.

*

Bu adı ilk duydugumda ilk aklıma gelen ad Kayra Han / Kayır Han oldu.

Türk ve Altay mitolojisinde yaratıcı ve baş tanrıdır. Altay, Tuva, Hakas ve Yakut mitolojisinde ön plana çıkar. Babası ilk tanrı Gök Tengri'dir, annesi yoktur. Evrenin kaderini belirler. (Türkçe wiki).

*

Bu isimlerin benzerliği şaşırtıcı. Kair-os / Kairo-s ve Kayır/Kayra. Benim için çok fazla tesadüf. İki farklı kültür, iki farklı coğrafi alan, iki farklı zaman, bir isim. Buna hala tesadüf diyebilir miyiz?

Ama yeterli değil. Başkaları da var. Urartuların Kuera adında bir tanrısı vardı, Hunların Kuara adında bir Gök Tanrısı vardı (Arnavut misyoner piskopos İsrail tarafından bildirilmiş, MS 682) ve Bulgarların Kuara/Kvara'sı vardı (Türkçe Kayra'ya doğrudan karşılık gelir).

*

Şimdi eğer biri bunların aralarında bağlantı olmadığını, bunun sadece bir tesadüf olduğunu söylüyorsa, o zaman binlerce benzer "tesadüfü" görmek için blogumu okumalı...

A-gorge-called-Kaiadas-versus-Turkic-Kayatas

 

Paulys Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft

*


*

Mr. Pauly mentions Kaiadas. 

It was the name of the gorge into which the Spartans threw prisoners and later threw the bodies of criminals, too. It was located in the Taygetos Mountains. 

About the etymology/meaning of that name he doesn't say anything.

*

Kaiadas is a very interesting word for the Türkish ears. At the first second a Türk hear kayataş, kaya meaning rock/mountain and taş meaning stone. It is still being used as proper name/toponym. 

Kayataş would mean a rocky place in a mountain and is compatible with the ancient Kaiadas. It was and is possible in Türkish dialects that "t" turns into "d" and "ş" into "s". That means it could easily be a Türkic toponym in the ancient Spartan area. 

But it is not enough and I continue with the next possible Türkic word there in the Pauly text:

Taygetos: a mountain range (Other names: Taugetus, Taygetos or Taÿgetus(Greek: Ταΰγετος, romanized: Taygetos) ). I have shown the compatibility of the Türkic word taw/tau/tai meaning mountain with the similar Indo-European words under:

https://uzunbacakadem.blogspot.com/2022/04/tau-words-in-turkic-greek-scythian.html

*

Shortly: A part of Spartans spoke a Türkic dialect or they took the name from the Türks who lived there already. Kayadas/Kayataş express the same thing. 

*

Türkçesi:

Bay Pauly Kaiadas'tan bahseder.

Spartalıların tutsakları ve daha sonra da suçluların cesetlerini attıkları uçurumun adıydı. Taygetos Dağları'nda bulunuyordu.

Bu adın kökeni hakkında hiçbir şey söylemiyor.

*

Kaiadas, Türk kulağı için çok ilginç bir kelimedir. İlk saniyede bir Türk kayataş kelimesini duyar. Kayataş hala özel isim/toponim olarak kullanılmaktadır.

Kayataş, bir dağdaki taşlık bir yer anlamına gelebilir ve antik Kaiadas ile anlam ve şekil olarak uyumludur. Türk lehçelerinde "t"nin "d"ye ve "ş"nin "s"ye dönüşmesi mümkündü ve hala mümkün. 

Bu da, antik Sparta bölgesinde kolayca bir Türk toponimi olabileceği anlamına gelir.

Ama bitmedi!

Bay Pauli'nin metninde bulunan bir sonraki olası Türk sözcüğüyle devam ediyorum:

Taygetos: bir dağ sırası (Diğer adları: Taugetus, Taygetos veya Taÿgetus (Yunanca: Ταΰγετος, romanize edilmiş: Taygetos)). Dağ anlamına gelen Türk taw/tau/tai sözcüğünün benzer Hint-Avrupa sözcükleriyle uyumluluğunu aşağıda gösterdim:

https://uzunbacakadem.blogspot.com/2022/04/tau-words-in-turkic-greek-scythian.html

*

Kısaca: Spartalıların bir kısmı Türk lehçesi konuşuyordu veya buranın adını orada yaşayan Türklerden aldılar. Kayadas/Kayataş da aynı şeyi ifade eder.

yıġla-/ıġla-

wiktionary: Etymology

It is improbable that this expressive word derives from the interjection ἰή (iḗ). The suffix is found only in κοάλεμος(koálemos, “stupid fellow, booby”), which may have influenced the later meaning of this word. Since κοάλεμος(koálemos) is Pre-Greek, the same must hold for the present word. Alternative form: ἰήλεμος (iḗlemos) — Ionic

ialmenos

ilaios

(Ἰλαῖος), twelfth month in the Delphic calendar, contemporaneous with the Athenian Skirophorion [998] (Julian May/June), cf. Bischoff Leipz. Stud. VII 352. Collitz Dial.-Inschr. 1712. 1746 and others. The form Eilaios (see above), which occurs alongside I. in some inscriptions, is regarded as less good because it is much less frequently documented. Despite the reservations of K. F. Hermann (Über griech. Monatskunde 63) and Th. Bergk (Beiträge znr griech. Monatsk. 63), the name is likely to be derived from ἴλη according to Boeckh CIG I p. 814, even if we do not yet know the cultic meaning of the word, which could have led to the naming of a festival and a month. The interpretation of the word as a 'festive troop' (Pind. Nem. V 38) or as a division of the citizen's cavalry, as is known from the Boeotian cities (cf. Gilbert Handbuch der griech. Staatsaltertümer II 60. 352), is of course not sufficient in this respect, although A. Mommsen Delphika 325, emphasizing the meaning of ἴλη as a cavalry division, would like to see in I. an analogue to the contemporaneous Aetolian month Hippodromios and relate it to Poseidon Hippios.

The festival, Ἰοβάκχεια, from which the month owes its name, is handed down for Athens ([Demosth.] LIX 78) and can be assumed for Astypalaia; it was for Dionysus, who was given the cult name Ἰόβακχιος) (see p. 1832). (Bacchus-UA)

iugulae

Old Roman name for the constellation of Orion. Plaut. Amph. 275…Varro explains the designation of iugidum as 'collarbone,' which is factually improbable and, due to the difference in gender, also linguistically questionable. Gundel's De stellarum appellatione Romana (Giessen 1907) 83 makes the interpretation of iugum, yoke, factually probable; however, the linguistic issue remains. For other explanations, see ibid. It is incorrect to say that I. only refers to Orion's belt.
