GREEK NUMERAL NAMES and SOME
RELATED WORDS MADE UP
USING TURKISH EXPRESSIONS

This study,
mainly under the above given title, will be posted in a series of articles in
which I will discuss Greek numeral names and some related Greek words. The
purpose of this study was to show how the Greek numeral names were made up from
Turkish expressions describing Turkish cardinal and ordinal numeral names.
Further, to show that when the Turkish language was a world wide spoken
language, there was no Greek language, nor a so-called
"Indo-European" language family as we know them presently. In time
they were all manufactured from Turkish by way of altering, restructuring and
disguising (i.e., by way of 'anagrammatizing') Turkish words and expressions
into many related formats of the so called "Indo-European"
languages.
1. Greek words related to "cardinal numeral":
Greek word ARITHMETIKOS,
meaning "cardinal
numeral", [Divry's
Modern English-Greek, Greek-English Dictionary, 1988, p. 762], rearranged letter-by-letter as "SAIH-TIMEKTOR" (where Greek letter H is a fluid
letter that can be H or I or E as required in the hands of Greek
anagrammatizers) is the altered, restructured, disguised and Hellenized form of
the Turkish expression "SAYI
DEMEKTUR" (SAYI SAYMAKTUR) meaning "it is saying the
numbers", "it is counting 1, 2, 3, . . .".
Actually all so-called "arithmetical" operations are based on
counting and adding the numerals. The ten-fingered two hands of man are natural
counting machines.
Turkish word SAYI means "number", SAYMAK means "to
count" SAYMAKTUR (SAYMADUR) means "it is counting, it is
adding", DEMEK means "to
say", DEMEKTUR means "it
is saying".
Additionally, the Greek term APOLUTOS ARITHMOS also means "cardinal numbers",
that is, numbers that denote quantity such as one, two, three, . . . .. The Greek expression APOLUTOS ARITHMOS, rearranged
letter-by-letter as "POL-SAUH
SAIMOTOR-T", is the altered, restructured, disguised and Hellenized form of the Turkish expression "BOL SAYI SAYMADUR" meaning "it
is counting many numbers". BOL means "plenty,
many".
Even the English term CARDINAL
NUMERAL, defined as "a
number denoting quantity (one, two, three, etc.), as opposed to an ordinal
number (first, second, third, etc.)", [Oxford American Dictionaries], rearranged letter-by-letter as "CAULARNN-ADLRIEM" or "CAULRNN-ADLARIEM" (where letter C is a replacement for
letter S rather than letter K, as in the case of the second C in the word
"ACCESS") is the
altered, restructured, disguised and Anglicized form of the Turkish expression "SAYULARIN ADLARIYEM" (SAYILARIN ADLARIYAM) meaning "I am the names of
numbers". This Turkish definition is exactly the definition
attributed to the concept of the so-called "cardinal numeral" as given above. Thus the source
of this English term is also from Turkish - contrary to misspelling and
mispronunciation!
Turkish word SAYI (SAYU) means "number,
numeral", SAYULAR (SAYILAR) means "numbers,
numerals", SAYILARIN means "of
the numbers, of the numerals", AD means "name", ADLAR means "names", ADLARIYAM means "I
am the names".
