(FROM THE " DIRECTION"
ENTRY of the E-Word:
Edenics Digital
Dictionary, www.edenics.org
Isaac -- mozeson at yahoo.com):
כל הדרכים, דרך בבל
All roads led from Babel
Below
is a chart of selected paths taken by
DeReKH: דרך (way,
road, path, direction/
director
…):
Any bible concordance will confirm that דרך Dalet-Resh-Kahf has all the
meanings below and all the “genes” for the global diversity of its
Tower-of-Babel spin-offs. Here is an
example of what happened to Edenic DeReKH ד ר ך –
Dalet-Resh-Khaf.
1) Dalet: D and T
are “dentals” or the interchangeable tooth-made letters. שנים
2) Resh: R and
L are “liquids” or the interchangeable tongue-made letters. לשון
3) Khaf: G, H, K, Q are “gutturals” or the interchangeable
throat-made letters. גרון

This list had to be kept short. Otherwise it could run into related terms
like דרך DaRahKH, to tred, which would lead to the
Greek source of TRUCK and TRUDGE, and Irish troigh (feet), and so on…
Metathesis or anagram-like “confusion” of root consonants,
part of the Big Bang of initial not natural language diversity, is not included
in this chart.
Forms of דרך DeReKH, like the M132 metathesis Turkish DoGRu (straight);
the M213 of Manx and the UK
dialects Gaelg and Gailck oaRDaGH (arrangement, array); the Dutch M231 Ri CHTing (direction – similar
in Frisian RjoCHTing ), the Swedish
Ri CHTning
(direction); and the Tibetan M312 Kah-Too-La (directly) were left out in favor of
only those in perfect dental-liquid-guttural sequence. (Or the reverse.)
Most languages have borrowed a form of DIRECTOR. In
Afrikaans it is direkteur. The
Arabic director, mudir, has
lost an end-guttural. הדריך HeeDReeYKH
(to cause to walk in a certain way, to guide) is in Psalms 107:7, is Edenic, so
not every form of DIRECTING need be from
the Latin. The מדריך Ma’DReeYCH
(guide, leader) gives the DIRECTIONS.
The Basque, Korean, Kurdish and Lithuanian could reflect the
liquid-guttural sub-root of דרך DaReKH, seen in לך LaiKH ! (go!).
Note: The Albanian "way, road" is missing a dental
(D,T). But it appears that they had and
dropped that D. Albanian, straight is drejt, and a course
is drejtim.
Other imperfect but notable entries include Italian DiReZione (route, trend), German
RiCHTung ( ROUTE, trend, way... source of RIGHT) and “directory” words like
Albanian Drejtori, Italian DiRezione,
Manx oRDaGH and Malay aRaH (matching Indonesian aRaH, course).
Samoan auaLa lacks a pronounced dental
and guttural, but it means path, road, street,
and way. It is but a liquid
shift from the Tamil below. Italian
inDiCaRe (to direct or INDICATE) cannot claim the liquid (L,R) because
of the suffix -re. A RUT is a
track, a little ROAD, but
dictionaries ROUTINELY give “etymology uncertain” rather than do some
real TRACKING.
