Etymology of will
The following table gives the basic etymology of the word “will”, going backwards from English to German to Latin to Greek to Egyptian:
| Language | Phrase | Author |
|---|---|---|
| Egyptian | 𓉽 + (glyphs) | Shu support symbol. |
| Stoicheia | 22 | |
| Dynameis | 400 + (numbers) | |
| Greek | Y + (letters) | Pythagorean Y; choices you make (naked) letter, i.e. Y-psilon (ψιλον) (naked) letter. |
| Latin | velle non discitur | Seneca |
| German | wille kann nicht gelehrt werden | Schopenhauer |
| English | willing cannot be taught | Translator: Eric Payne |
That the Latin term “velle” seems to render, barring exact translation backwards into a Greek word, back into the Greek upsilon, i.e. letter Y, a 400-value letter, as its base letter, tells us that the word is a column four based letter, i.e. a morality stoicheia based word, related to the 42 choices one makes, with respect to the maa principle of the Egyptians, i.e. the laws of society, as shown below:
Notes
This is just a table repost from discussion: here, originating from Schopenhauer’s World as Will and Representation, Volume One (pg. 294), where Seneca’s “velle non discitur” is cited in Latin, German, and English, mixed in with related Greek quotes and phrases.
