Name of Vishnu (Virat-purusha —

in

). Name of Shiva, Brahma, Vayu or Vaishwanara.

N[ote]. It is doubtful whether

in the sense of Vishnu had in its origin any connection of dependence with

, the first letter of the sacred syllable; both rather proceed from a single & common origin,

to be, in the widest sense of the idea, being primal, all pervading, vague and indefinable. Hence it is applicable to any of the three great deities who occupy & represent infinite & universal being, Vishnu, Shiva or Brahma; by a natural figure emphatic of the sense of

it became applicable to Vaiswanara or Virat Purusha. By transference to the idea of pervasive life & movement to Vayu, the god of wind, breath & the life principle. Cf

.

The first letter of the Onk´ara, representing material world-being; from

to be, & bearing the sense of initial & pervasive being.

, (1) a negative prefix, expressing defect, absence or

opposition. (2) a prohibitive particle. (3) an interjection of (a) address, O! (b) pity, Ah!

(c) censure, Oh! Fie!

The idea of defect or disparagement or deprecation visible also in the root

( etc) may derive (a) from the idea of unfinished & therefore imperfect being, (b) from the use of

as a separative & therefore exclusive enclitic, lit. = let be, exclude that, not that.

VAL.

Derivatives of the Aryan root val in Latin.

I Word retaining the root unchanged.

Valde: very, exceedingly. Contracted from valide. O.S. valitˆa, with strength, strongly, forcibly; eminently, to excess. Instrumental case of valit, strength. Rt val with nominal suffix t preceded by the enclitic i. Valedico: I say farewell. Latin compound from vale and dico. Valens: strong, powerful... well, healthy. O.S. valan, dialectical form valans, strong, flourishing. Rt val with nominal suffix n preceded by the enclitic a. Valenter: strongly, powerfully. For valent-ter; the stem of valens with the suffix ter answering to the O.S. termination tas in itas, tatas, sarvatas, etc, originally tar, meaning way or side. Cf Mahratti tar, tarhi (Sanscrit), Bengali ta or to.

Valentulus: strong. Latin analogical formation. Valent, stem of valens, and O.S. diminutive suffix ulas. Valeo: I am strong, avail, am well... am worth, signify. O.S. valayˆa(mi), I luxuriate, am strong, flourish, am well. Habitua-tive, (also causal) of Rt val. Valerius. Name of a Roman gens or kula. O.S. Valaryas, patronymic from valaras, strong, powerful, used as a proper name. Rt val with nominal suffix ra preceded by the enclitic a. Valesco: I grow strong. O.S. valakshˆa(mi). Progressive of val. Valetudinarius: sickly. Analogical Latin formation from valetudo (stem in) by adding O.S. ˆaryas or aryas, double adjectival suffix from ˆara or ara, used also in patronymics as in valarya above. Cf vara and varya. Valetudo (stem in): health, good or bad. O.S. valatudˆa, state of health formed from valat, health by adding da (danam, like ma, manam in mahima) preceded by the enclitic u.

Analogical Latin formation from vallum by adding to the stem valla the termination aris, O.S. aris which is the common nominal suffix ri (also ra, ru) preceded by the enclitic a. Cf vallari, Murari, wrongly translated slayer or enemy of Mura, really meaning Protector of Defender, from mur, to protect, (cf murus, wall). Vallis: valley, hollow. O.S. vallis, a hollow, cup, depression. Rt val, to bend, curve with nominal suffix li. The modern Sanscrit vallis, a creeper, is derived from the sense of to luxuriate, flourish, but it has a rare meaning, earth, the curving earth, Vallo: I stockade, enwall, fortify. O.S. valla(mi) I strengthen. Nominal verb from vallam, strong. Vallum: a stockade, wall, defence. O.S. vallam, strong; a strong place, stronghold, fortification.
