On the Etymologies of Kypros, kyparissos, kypeiron, kapparis, sappheiros, kardamon, salamandra, Salmoxis, Gebeleixis et al.

Description

On the etymologies of Kypros (Cyprus), kyparissos (=the cypress tree), kypeiron (=Cyperus longus), kapparis (the caper plant), kypros (=Lawsonia inermis), sappheiros (=lapis lazuli in Ancient Greek),, kardamom (=Lepidium sativum in Ancient Greek), kardamomon (=Elettaria cardamomum; the plant known in English as cardamom), salamandra (=salamander). 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 work definitely elucidates a number of ancient Eurasian and Semitic words and PIE roots.  

Notes

Updated eighth version. Another important update. New evidence for my new etymology of sappheiros; new evidence for an alternative etymology for Kypros, as likely as the previous one; additional evidence for my new etymology of kapparis, and new evidence for my etymologies of Salmoxis, Zalmoxis, Gebeleixis/Zebeleizis. Includes all updates from the seventh and sixth versions. The sixth version is where I found that I was right about the meaning of Salm-/Zalm and Gebel/Zebel/Zibel. And that S. Olteanu was wrong about the second element. In the sixth version I first published the discovery of the actual etymology of the entire names, 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.
