THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT

The butterfly effect can be observed in the evolution of artificial words, produced in the Akkadian laboratory. These words were borrowed by different people who lived in the fertile crescent and they interpreted these inventions in their own culture and system of beliefs. An innocent name for the bird would became the most important element in the development of Indo European religion and it would resonate then into other cultures as well. It is impossible to fathom that a pure Akkadian invention would become the most revered god among the Semitic people themselves. The reason why this deity became so important derived from the fact that its name was abstract, it came from the cry of a bird and it was interpreted as a sign of gods valid of notation. We must understand that the moment humans decided to worship gods a problem arose, especially about the name of the god. Should it be the name of a living king or an abstract neutral source. Choosing the name of a king did not sound holy at all so the Semitic people opted for the latter option, the abstract concept. The name of a cognate must be out of man's domain, it must come from nature itself. the voice a revered animal or bird would be a legitimate source for the name.

Semitic and Turkish people interpreted Akkadian inventions in different ways. A good example is the name of the peacock.

Hebrew: טוס (he) (tavás), טַוָּס (he) (tavás)

Swahili: tausi (sw)

Arabic: طاووس (ar) (ṭāwūs) m

Egyptian Arabic: طاووس (ṭāwūs) m

Persian: طاووس (fa) (tâvus)

Azeri: tovuz (az)

Uzbek: tovuq (uz)

Turkish: tavus kuşu (tr), tavus (tr)

We can see that Semitic people merged the Sumerian determinative with the bird's onomatopoeic sound that became its name in Sumerian.

Sooner rather than later Semitic people understood that they had made an error and they absorbed again the Akkadian cognate but this time without the determinative Sumerian D [diĝir; dim₃-me-er; dim₃-me₈-er; dim₃-mi-ir; di-me₂-er "deity, god, goddess"] which became Semitic T.

We know that in Akkadian ia₃ means mine, this formant was used in Sumerian to form new words. We know that an ideogram in Sumerian was an alphabetic pictogram. Different words or syllables used a pictogram when they shared a sound among themselves, either a consonant or a vowel. Sumerian is an alphabetic language so to speak, a representation of Akkadian to the gods.

Akkadian scribes mixed the onomatopoeic sound of the bird's cry ha- with the particle ia₃ [my, mine]

The name for the peacock in Sumerian [artificial language] became the name of the goddess of life in Hebrew. She became the goddess of the tree of life. But what is the tree of life? Is it a tree? From Indo European sources we learn that the tree of life in the Persian mythology was a peacock. The stars were the beautiful flowers in the peacock's tail. We know that birds clean their feathers using their beak. Aryans believed that the falling stars, the fallen gods were caused by the way the bird attacked its own feathers. This is the origin of the first sin. Other primitive people of Mesopotamia identified the flowers in the bird's tail with the testicles of a god, the falling stars were the severed testicles of a male god. This was a patriarchal idea. Greeks called this bird Cronos. It sounds like science fiction but soon I will give a full picture of this bizarre idea that the tree of life was the crown of a bird's tail flexed in full swing.

I have extracted the article as it is without any changes in order to make you understand for yourselves the origin of the name of god.

YHWH (Yahweh, Jahweh) 

YHWH is the second creation Name of God. God's Name changes from Elohim to YHWH Elohim in Genesis 2:4 and the reason for this change is examined in the article on the Chaotic Set Theory.

As told by Joel M. Hoffman Ph.D. in his delightful and riveting book In the Beginning: A Short History of the Hebrew Language
 - the Hebrews were the first to incorporate vowels in their written text, and by doing this the previously esoteric art of writing and reading became available to the masses. The seemingly casual command to 'write' something on doors or foreheads included the invention of a writing system that could be learned by everybody. A very big deal, and resulting in the most powerful tool of data preservation up to this common age. Hebrew theology is by far the most influential ever, and this is in part due to the Hebrew invention of vowel notation. This power (this theology) contrasted others by use of the vowel notation, using symbols that were already used and until then only represented consonants: the letters 
 (waw), 
 (yod) and 
 (heh), and to give an example: the word 
 is either the word dod, meaning beloved (and the
 is a vowel), or it is the word dud, meaning jar (and the 
 is again a vowel), or it is the word dawid, which is the name David (and the 
 is a consonant).

These letters became markers for both the Hebrew identity and the Hebrew religion, including the various names for God. One of these names is the famous Tetragrammaton 
 (YHWH) which actually exists only of vowels, and is utterly exceptional in many ways, including the fact that it can not be pronounced.
The word 
 (El) was the name of the prominent Canaanite god, whose name was either derived of or became the common word for god in general. The plural of this word is 
; gods. With the addition of the letter 
, creating the word 
, the Hebrews not only stated essential monotheism (by naming a single God after the plural word "gods") but also marked their God as theirs: Elohim is the singular pantheon of the vowel-people.
Something similar occured when the name of patriarch Abram (
) was expanded with the heh into Abraham 
, and the name of matriarch Sarai (
) was expanded with the heh to Sarah (
).

The meaning of the name YHWH is not very clear, and therefor subject to much debate. The key scene in this respect seems to be Exodus 3:13-15, where God names Himself first: 
 (I Am Who I Am), then
 (I Am), and finally 
 (YHWH) and states that this is his name forever and a memorial name to all generations. It has been long supposed that YHWH is derived from the verb that is used to make I Am, namely 
(haya) to be, to become, to happen, or rather from an older form and rare synonym of haya, namely 
, hawa, hence y-hawa or yahweh, the proper imperfect of the verb, thus rendering the name either Being or He Is. (But note that the Hebrew language is far more dynamic than our modern languages. The verb to be indicates an action that intimately reveals the nature of the one who is doing the acting.)

HAW Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament rocognizes two separate verbs hawa:

 (hawa (484) is the aforementioned older form of 
 (haya), to be or become.

 (hawa) means to fall, with derivatives calamity, wickedness, evil desire, disaster. Perhaps this curious double meaning is in some ways comparable to our word happen, as the words happening and happenstance are often used as euphemisms for typically unfortunate events.

HAW Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament goes even further as it states, "...there is a problem with the pronunciation Yahweh. It is a strange combination of old and late elements. In view of these problems it may be best simply to say that YWHW does not come from the verb hawa at all. We may well hold that YHWH [...] is an old word of unknown origin which sounded something like what the verb hawa sounded in Moses' day. However, if the word were spelled with four letters in Moses' day, we would have expected it to have had more than two syllables, for at that period all the letters were sounded."

In other words, the name YHWH looks like a hybrid of times, as if it can not be localized but spans centuries of evolving grammar. Then it also looks very much as if it was derived of a verb that means to be, but which is spelled differently than the regular verb to be, and similarly to a verb that means something very bad. Perhaps all this confusion, or rather, this wide pallet of negotiations is what this Name most essentially conveys: existence in its broadest sense, yet unlike any regular human perspective; a blessing to the wise, but the undoing of the wicked.

On the other hand, perhaps the name YHWH means Tom, Dick or Harry in a language that has slipped out of the collective human consciousness and we are left with the echo's of a revelation that was as sincere and confidential as the word abba: daddy. 

BDB Theological Dictionary lists the following interpretations of the name YHWH, proposed by a score of venerated theologians:

"Many recent scholars explain 
 as Hiph. of 
:
The one bringing into being;
Life-giver;
Giver of existence, creator;
He who brings to pass;
Performer of his promises;
He who causes to fall (rain or lightning); 

"But most take it as Qal of 
:
The one who is;
The absolute and unchangeable one;
The existing, ever-living;
the one ever coming into manifestation
He will be;
He will approve himself (give evidence of being, assert his being).
