Words under the lens: Greek Numeral names No.9 - Greek words related to number "seven"

9.    Greek words related to number "seven":

Greek word EPTA means "seven", and EBDOMOS means "seventh", [Divry's Modern English-Greek, Greek-English Dictionary, 1988, p. 762].

Turkish cardinal numeral for "seven" is 
"YEDI" and for the ordinal numeral "seventh" is "YEDINCI". 

a)   The Greek term EPTA (also HEPTA) or EBDO, rearranged as "PETO" (BEDO), is the altered, restructured, disguised and Hellenized form of the Turkish cardinal numeral name 
"YEDU" (YEDI) meaning "seven". In the makeup of these Greek numeral names EPTA or EBDO, the letter P or B is an artificial replacement of Turkish letter Y in the numeral name YEDI.  We must also note that, in the Greek alphabet, letter B is written as "b" but is voiced as V, [Divry's dictionary, 1988, p. 10].  The letter V itself is a replacement for letter Y. Additionally, letters B and P can readily be interchanged in confusing and disguising the Turkish source text. By such replacements, Turkish numeral name YEDI has been confused and converted into EPTA or EBDO in Greek. 

In order to understand better this Greek term EPTA (
HEPTA) or EBDO, let us examine some other Greek words related to it.

b)   Greek word EBDOMEKONTA, meaning "seventy", [Divry's dictionary, 1988, p. 485], rearranged letter-by-letter as "EBDO-KAT-ONEM", is the anagrammatized and Hellenized form of the Turkish mathematical expression "YEDU-KAT-ON'AM" (YEDI-KAT-ON'UM) meaning "I am 'seven fold ten'" which makes "I am 'seventy'".  Thus, Greek word EBDO gets its meaning of "seven" from Turkish cardinal numeral YEDI (YEDU) meaning "seven". 

In this Greek anagram, the Turkish word 
ON means "ten", ONAM (ONUM) means "I am ten", KAT (KATI) means "fold, times".

c)   
Greek word EBDOMEKONTAETIA, meaning "seventy years", [Divry's dictionary, 1988, p. 485], rearranged letter-by-letter as   "EBDO-KATE-ONEMTI-A" or "EBTA-KATE-ONEMDI-O" is the anagrammatized and Hellenized form of the Turkish mathematical expression "YEDI KATI ON'UMDI O" meaning "it is my 'seven fold ten (years)'" which makes "seventy years".  Again the Greek word EBDO (EBTA, EPTA) gets its meaning of "seven" from Turkish cardinal numeral YEDI (YEDU) meaning "seven". In this Greek anagram, the Turkish word ONUMDI means "is my tenth".

d)   
Greek word EBDOMEKONTAETERIS, meaning "seventieth anniversary", [Divry's dictionary, 1988, p. 485], rearranged letter-by-letter as "EBDO-KAT-ON-IESTE-EREM", is the anagrammatized and Hellenized form of the Turkish mathematical expression "YEDI-KAT-ON YAŞTA EREM" meaning "I am 'seven fold ten' years old man'" which makes "I am seventy years old man".  Again the Greek word EBDO (EBTA, EPTA) gets its meaning of "seven" from Turkish cardinal numeral YEDI (YEDU) meaning "seven". 

In this Greek anagram, the Turkish word 
YEDI means "seven", KAT means "fold, times", ON means "ten", YAŞ means "age", YAŞTA means "in the age", ER means "man" EREM means "I am man". 

e)   The Greek ordinal numeral name EBDOMOS, meaning "seventh", rearranged as "BEDOMSO", is the anagrammatized and Hellenized form of the Turkish ordinal numeral name 
"YEDUMCU" (YEDINCI) meaning the "seventh". In this context, Turkish sayings YEDUMCU and YEDIMCI are local dialectal variations of the Turkish ordinal numeral YEDINCI.

From all of this, it is clear that the Greek linguists have continuously taken the words and expressions of the ancient Turanian Turkish language and secretly anagrammatized them in order to make words for a fabricated Greek language that did not exist before.  In other words, the Greek language is not an "authentic" language, like all the other so-called "Indo-European" languages which are also not "authentic"!
