On the Etymologies of Kypros, kyparissos, kypeiron, kapparis, kypros, kardamon, kardamomon, et al.

Description

On the etymologies of Kypros (Cyprus), kyparissos (=the cypress tree), kypeiron (=Cyperus longus), kapparis (the caper plant), kypros (=Lawsonia inermis), kardamom (=Lepidium sativum in Ancient Greek), kardamomon (=Elettaria cardamomum; the plant known in English as cardamom). And many more new etymologies, such as new never-before revealed etymologies of Daco-Thracian Salmoxis/Zalmoxis, Gebeleixis/Gebeleizis, Zibelthiurdos/Zibelsiurdos, which are of extremely high certainty due to the odds of the way it matched up so exactly to something well-known in the mythology of storm gods in Europe. It’s extremely unlikely that these new etymologies of the Daco-Thracian Zeus are incorrect. This updated version discusses an additional important semantic progression observed in a number of languages, in addition to the semantic progressions discussed in previous versions. This work definitely elucidates a number of ancient Eurasian and Semitic words and PIE roots. 

Notes

Updated sixth version. This is an important update. I have found that I was right about the meaning of Salm-/Zalm and Gebel/Zibel. But S. Olteanu was wrong about the second element. I have found the actual etymology of the entire names now, both elements of the names. It's great news for all interested in Proto-Indo-European linguistics. We have a much better idea and picture of the Dacian and Thracian languages now. This work also elucidates many Ancient Greek words and more.
