Well, the preposition dlya is a combination of the words do and the soft l. Do-lya is the distance to something desired, loved or moving towards it. The Russian word dolya (fate) came out of this ancient notion.
16. The combination of protoroots (ancient prepositions) do and no: dono
Let us imagine that our ancient ancestors, traveling, came to a deep river. The leader wanted to wade through it, poked a stick into the water, but the stick did not rest anywhere. There is no stop, there is no limit. There is no do deep down to it. He looked back at his fellow tribesmen, threw up his hands and said: Do no [dɔnɔ]. May be he spoked differently, but the combination of the protoroots (ancient prepositions) do and no formed a complex protoroot dono, which explains that there is no limit (dnois bottom). It is deep. Now the simplified word dno has the opposite meaning: a certain surface, a rest under water. However, this meaning became dno when deep rivers seemed to be an abyss bezdna (without a bottom). It is interesting to trace the way of protoroot from the understanding of glubina (depth) to the name Abadonna, personifying the diabolical power, the image of which Mikhail Bulgakov borrowed from ancient religions, for example, the Hebrew ǍḇaddōN death, decomposition, annihilation, cessation of being. Probably, it seemed like hell for our ancestors when the waters of the Don River absorbed an unlucky tribesman and he could not get out of this abyss dno. Understanding the glubina (depth) created not only the terrible word ad (hell) a-ba-ad-do-no, but also popular now Armageddon, the meaning of which is the flooding of the earth ar with water: the same world flood that happened, happens and will happen in the future. Someday compatriots will learn to understand our great language and they will discover the innermost secrets lying on the surface.
17. Protoroots kov, sak and skvo
in the names of the locality
The root kov (gov) is quite common in geographical names. This is our Moskva (Moscow) (Moskov), and Koblenz, and Kovel, and Spanish Covadonga, and hundreds of others. What does the root kov mean? If we look into the English dictionary, we will see that the word cow has several homogeneous meanings. Cov is primarily a female. Moreover, a female elephant, and a female whale, and a female seal, and a female rhinoceros, and in general a female of all more or less large animals, and, of course, a female cow. What does this cov mean? Let us look at the protoroots: ko is both something round and some kind of movement. V is both vnutri (inside) and zhizn (life). How did ancient hunters distinguish males from females? Well, first on the genitals. Kov is the name of the females sexual organ, literally: circle giving life or circle of life. The values could expand, change, but for our ancestors it was clear that the female, unlike the male, could reproduce offspring. The protoroot kov has been preserved not only in the English word cow a female of a large animal, but also in the words: cavalier, podkova (horseshoe), govyadina (beef), in many other words and most accurately in the Ukrainian word kovbasa is a dish from the head of a female animal.
We have puzzled out the protoroot Kov. What is sak? It is clear that males do not have kov. In addition to phallic strength, they are distinguished from females by the scrotum, a pouch with seminal fluid. In the ancient language, the bag was called sak. In Latin sacculi, in English sac; in Greek, the word sounds a little different, but the root basis was preserved: askos a bag, a scrotum. Hence is the word sex. This short word, however, has retained two protoroots: sk and s. The first means a bag, the second means water, and liquid. In other words, we are talking about the seminal fluid of male animals, and the word itself was originally used as a term in cattle breeding, denoting the male sex. Later, they began to call the process of mating animals, when bulls were brought to cows. Well, nowadays people have dragged this word on themselves. How could the word sak appear? S is water, and ak is from the protoroot yag or ya-ga, it is the way down, which received the meaning of sacrifice. Baba Yaga is the one who sacrificed to the swamp fires, the swamp. What could water sacrifice mean? Water could not flow out from this cavity. The imprisonment of water in some kind of stone bag that people could use as a vessel. Therefore, the word sak got the meaning of bag, which is still used today. For example, the word sakvoyazh is a bag for voyage, travelling bag.
