Sycophant Elephant

Illustration by Peter Newell for the poem 
 in French, the fox says "I admire your 
beautiful plumage" to the raven

The word synchophant recently cropped up while researching, and immediately I thought of how it sounds like “elephant”… , well then both end in “phant”, and this is particularly meaningful given the recent “Elephant theme” pattern cluster,  I checked the etymology of sycophant: 

Sycophant (n.) 1530s (in Latin form sycophanta), "informer, talebearer, slanderer" (a sense now obsolete),… , false accuser, slanderer," literally "one who shows the fig," from sykon "fig" (see fig (n.1)) + phainein "to show" (from PIE root *bha- (1) "to shine").

If you research the etymology of  *bha- (1), you’ll also get a very long list of related words, including: 

 Greek pheme "speech,… " phōnē "voice…"… ,phanai "to speak;" Sanskrit bhanati "speaks”

So we turn now to the Sycophancy wikipedia page.  The image above is copied from the page. As well, the word, sycophant, cropped up recently when Trish MacGregor used it in a post to their blog, and on checking, the MacGregor’s used the word in numerous times (see list of posts below where they use sycophant).  Obviously they like the word a lot.  And so a good reason why we need to investigate the Sycophancy wiki page. Note the following info regarding the two notable persons mentioned in the above image caption: 

  • Peter Sheaf Hersey Newell (March 5, 1862 – January 15, 1924)
  • Guy Wetmore Carryl (4 March 1873 – 1 April 1904)

 Newell’s date of death, January 15, is also the birthday of both my son and expartner of 27 years,… they are 22 years apart.  Back when my ex and I first met, I thought of this as only coincidence and nothing more.  Not so today.  That this date crops up is a strategic design of the inner twin world— a hook (if you will).  As you can also see, their birthdays generate a “March __, 4, 5, __/Date Sequence” pattern cluster.  Note the following info in regards to others in relation to the sycophant wiki page: 

We also now have a “May 16(x2), 17, __, … May 31/Date Sequence” pattern cluster.  We know to place the gap at May 18 and not May 15, because May 31 cropping up is our direction indicator.  Anyone reading this blog regularly enough… and especially recently, knows that I have concerns with this date coming around aka “end of May” (my name being May… YIKES)!!  Let’s just say I hope that what they are trying to get at, is a reference to the meaning of “may”

May (v.1)… , from PIE root *magh- "to be able, have power."

And, with Charles Dickens cropping up, I’m reminded of Justice Chiasson’s use of Dickens in her Decision,… and note the “dick” in Dickens… that jives with “ass” in Chiasson, both being additions to the “Word in Name” pattern cluster and the recent “Profanity Theme” pattern cluster, and as well, note how Dickens is phonetically similar to the slang saying “dickin around”: to spend time idly or aimlessly : to waste time, also no coincidence.  So mustn’t waste time.  

The date cluster above is a prompt for us to bridge the May 18 gap using the formula.  Venturing to the May 18 wikipedia page, and then limiting our search to notable persons listed who either died and/or were born on May 18 during a year that has 3 identical numbers in sequence.  Doing so we then arrive at: 
Wow, it’s very rare to find persons listed under 1777, 1888– a definite twin heads upp there.  AND, it’s no coincidence that two are twins, … butt they, as is Omloop, are still alive, so we’ll skip them (at least for now), and concentrate on the other 5.  Note from their wiki pages:
  • John George Children (18 May 1777 – 1 January 1852 ) 74
  • Hanna Adamauna Barysiewic (18 May [O.S. 6 May] 1888 — 23 February 2007) 118
  •  Augustus Pablo (Horace Michael Swaby; 21 June 1953 – 18 May 1999)
  • Elizabeth R. Schwartz (née Robinson; August 23, 1911 – May 18, 1999)
  • Steve Wolownik (July 22, 1946 – May 18, 2000)
On viewing the dates, Hanna’s date of death is particularly meaningful as it is an addition to the “Off by One” pattern cluster … as in one off from my grandson’s birthday of February 22nd… keep in mind that when he turned 8, the date was 2/22/22, … and it’s also interesting to note that his name, Easton, is an addition to the “Word in Name” pattern cluster, and so providing us with “east”… and in turn another addition to the the recent “Cardinal Directions” pattern cluster.   

The “one off” cluster is a prompt to investigate notable persons who are  “one off” from those listed above.  The first person I check is:  

2001 – Irene Hunt, American author and illustrator (born 1907)

Note the cryptic phrase re “ire hunt” in her name… via the “Word in Name” pattern cluster, and note from her wiki page: 

  • Irene Hunt (May 18, 1902 – May 18, 2001)
She passed away on her birthday and so an addition to the “Birthday Blues” pattern cluster … so a definite prompt to consider her more closely.   That her surname is an addition to the “Exchange Letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster and the “Rhymes Theme” pattern cluster, and so providing us with words —bunt, punt, runt, and one other word that I really don’t want to mention, … butt I can freely say this— it begins with “c” and is an addition to the “Profanity Theme” pattern cluster.   Given that unspeakable word, we know that the inner twin world are pointing a cryptic finger to a woman!!  With that in mind, of  all the notable women mentioned above, the one who stands out to me the most, is the 118 year old Hanna Barysiewicz, … her very old age alone is a twin heads upp!! 
Many of the dates stand out, butt lets begin with Stalin’s date of death that’s an addition to the above cluster, expanding it to  “March __, 4, 5(x2), __/Date Sequence” pattern cluster.  Lenin’s day of death is also my daughter’s birthday, and Stalin’s birthday is the older of my 2 sisters birthday.  The birthdays of Stalin and Brezhnev generates a “December __, 18(x2), 19, __/ Date Sequence” pattern cluster.  And finally Lukashenko’s birthday is “one off” from August 31st— the birthday of Trish and Rob MacGregor’s daughter, Megan.  Also do note the cryptic slang in the name Stalin aka “stallin” that jives with “dicken”!!  So the message “no more stalling and dicken around”!!
