About the word "Can" and "Eş" in Turkish and ideas about their etymological evolution



Turkish is a part of the Altaic language group which sometimes also related to the bigger Uralic-Altaic group.

Altaic group consists of ,

Turkish (with the dialects of Turkiye, Kırgız, Uygur, Azerbaycan, Kazak, Turkmen, Tatar, Ozbek etc.)
Mongolian
Tunguz
Korean
japanese

Of these Turks, Mongolians and Tunguz has the same historic shamanic belief the Tengri religion.
In this shamanic belief every living being or the other things which has living beings on/in them (like a mountain) has a kind of spirit which is called "can" ("tin" in old Turkic) , this "can"  is the spirit which makes a body alive. It is believed that the "can" of every living being is the same type and they are here on Earth as different representations in different bodies. In this concept a mountain or a lake are also living beings those have "cans".

A human has the same type of "can" of a tree or of an animal. When someone is death it is also defined as "canı çıktı" meaning it's (he, she, it, male or female no difference) "can" is went out, so "can" is something which may go in or out from bodies of living beings.

In modern Turkish people who loves each other call each as "can", here the call is to the spirit of that person not the physical body. This call can be referred to an animal as well...

The habits of protecting the nature in modern Turkish culture is also rooted from the "can" concept. In the collective unconscious of the people there is a consciousness about the equality of "cans". This can be seen as idioms mentioning to protect the "cans" or the equality of "cans" or the spiritual connection of the "cans"  in everyday language of Turkish like:

"can suyu": the very first water given to a seed or a small tree when it's planted
" canı çıkmak" the going out of "can", death
"onun canı var" it (he,she,it) has a can (used to emphasize the situations which it's representation on earth, the body that carries the "can" needs to be protected)

Possibly because of this equality of "cans" there has been no gender in Altaic languages (as well as Uralic ones) as "cans" has no gender.

About the word "eş" in Turkish.

The primary meaning of "eş" is wife or husband, spouse. It is an interesting word again.
Can be used for game mates, members of animal couples etc.

It shows the equality and very close friendship of two. The representation of this friendship is as close as the embryo and placenta. (Placenta is also called as "eş" in Turkish, it is the very close friend of the baby in womb).

A very noticeable etymological feature related to "eş" is the word "eşit ". "Eşit" is evolved from "eş" literally meaning equal.

So equality in Turkic languages are based on the analogy of two "cans" who are very close friends to each. That's why there is no wife of husband but "eş".
Saying;
 "my wife" in Turkish is "Eşim"
"my husband" is "Eşim"
in both cases literally meaning my equal or my very close friend (which feeds me like placenta.)

Varlığımız nerede?

Vücutlarımız aslında derin varlığımızın sadece bir kısmını oluşturmakta ve varlığımız 3. boyutun ötesine yayılarak sonunda evrensel birliğe bağlanmaktadır. Uzay ve zamanı 3 boyut ve sinir sistemimizce sıralanmış olaylar zinciri olarak algılıyoruz. Tek boyut bir çizgi, 2 boyut bir bir kağıt gibi düzlemle ifade edilebilir. Vücudumuzdan 2 boyutlu bir goruntu aldığımızda aşağıdaki örnekler gibi bir kesit elde edeceğiz. Yukarıda gördüğünüz  kesitlerden ilki böbreklerin alt ucundan geçmekte, ikincisi ise akciğerlerin üst loblarından alınan bir kesiti göstermektedir. Ne ilkinde tam bir böbrek görebiliyoruz ne de ikincisinde akcigerleri veya yanda duran kolları... Böylece alacağımız her iki boyutlu görüntü aslında bütünün sadece bir kısmını gösterecek ve bunlardan bir çoğunu doğru bir şekilde yanyana getirirsek 3 boyutlu bütün hakkında bir fikir verecektir. İki boyut algılayan 3. boyutun "hesaplanması" fonksiyonu sinir sisteminde bulunmayan bir canlı, bir ...

An Inspiration about art ...

An inspiration... Artistic creations are powerful cause they reflect the unconscious which is the only reality against the common way of thinking.. The deeper the unconscious content, language of art changes, becomes purified and impressive and the information transferred becomes like a huge river flow. That's why a small poem or a painting may full hundreds of pages with words, in the  language of the conscious. It is important to understand that the amount of information in the unconscious and conscious is incomparable. Also the quality of the information is completely different, the conscious information is a limited derivative of the unconscious.The unconscious has an unlimited, time independent information pool while conscious information is a very superficial, time dependent and limited interpretation of some parts of unconscious... We human beings are given chance to perceive both sides, if we can ... K.C.B.

The selfishness and idiocy of us "homo sapiens" seems to be left as a historical scientific example for the further beings of the universe...

Resim
The universe is around 13 billion years old. Our mother earth is almost 4.5 billion years old... It had many species, mostly distinct now. We homo sapiens is here on Earth only for  0.2 million years which is 1/22500 of the Earth`s life and 1/65000 of Universe`s life. During the last one thousand years but especially the last century which is only a micro fraction of the Earths age we did these horrible things: We polluted the oceans now even in Arctic ocean the fishes are full of heavy metals, there are areas in oceans as big as a country covered by plastic waste, the plankton production is in a critical level. While just 100 years ago we were able to catch the fishes from the beaches nowadays we are following them with sonar waves in deep waters, their population is almost % 10 of the population one hundreds years ago. Many species are lost because of human invasion to their home lands or just because of the nonsense desires of humans about their horns, their skin...
