THE "Inner NET" (UPDATE: Nott and Sere)

My previous post involving the recent death of James Sisnett which consisted of a "net" aspect, sent me on a little quest that resulted in  discovering another little "moustaki" in regards to my recent May 25th post: RIIP 222 and the TUSSH.  I traced back to the post because I was sure that I had put up the schematic rendering that you now  see at right, butt it wasn't there.  Likely, some glitch had  bumped it out, a glitch that resulted in another of my drawings in the post being duplicated... the "inner twin" glitch no doubt!!  They are strutting their stuff-- this is a little example of  their ability to stage events... events both BIG and small!!  I consider this an affirmation of my last post.

The drawing is a cross section of a pingo mound containing the ancient "TUSSH"-- acronym for "Two United Structure System Home".  Of course there are a number of "play with words" in the acronym as well as the longer version... and there's even a dual reason for the word "Two" , butt for now I'll concern myself with the two integral aspects concerning this unique structure, the first being its external "skin" (essentially a hollow ball shaped enclosure) and the second being its internal mechanism (a hollow tower designed for composting for the purpose of generating heat).    These two structures enable this a unique home to bee a working "system" containing other integral aspects, one of which is a tubular "NET" located within the center of the tower.

If you look closely at the tower section in the drawing, you can make out a twisted/coiled section and an arrow pointing to it that references: "N"-- is the net that renders the meat into small morsels.

As I've mentioned a number of times in previous posts in both my Toumai and Pronoiasecret blogs, the reason why I know this type of home was used by our ancestors many years ago is because our very words and the rudimentary sounds made by our letters perfectly support this, not to mention numerous archaeological findings... one of which being a mysterious layer of "red" peat found in bogs throughout Eurasia and including a certain "child's" game- spool knitting, that my mother passed on to my sisters and I.  I believe that our ancient ancestors had designed the net within the tower using a giant version of this miniature "spool knitting" technique.  In fact, the words knit, net and knot come from the same root.

I'd like to now bring to your attention to a second "net" that I hadn't discussed in my previous post:

• net (n.) Old English net "netting, network, spider web, mesh used for capturing," also figuratively, "moral or mental snare or trap," from Proto-Germanic *natjan (cf. Old Saxonnet, Old Norse, Dutch net, Swedish nät, Old High German nezzi, German Netz, Gothic nati "net"), originally "something knotted," from PIE *ned- "to twist, knot" (cf. Sanskrit nahyati "binds, ties," Latin nodus "knot," Old Irish nascim "I bind, oblige").
• net (adj.) "remaining after deductions," 1510s, from earlier sense of "trim, elegant, clean, neat" (c.1300), from Old French net "clean, pure," from Latin nitere "to shine, look bright, glitter" (see neat). Meaning influenced by Italian netto "remaining after deductions." As a noun, 1910.

The second one, the adjective is the "net" that I'm referring to.  It's interesting the word "neat" is related to this second "net"... and even more interesting is the similarity between neat and meat.  And when you think in terms of what the net originally did in the TUSSH, that it allowed sections of reindeer meat to be contained in such a way that it would begin to rot and in so doing it would then serve as a seive that allowed the softened/decomposing meat to pass through while the bones remained within the net... this action is the original sense of the "cleansing" definition--  a reference to separating the decomposing meat from the bones.  When the meat was separated in this manner the net would be lifted out of the tower and the bones removed with the sifted meat left to continue rotting in the tower for the purpose of generating life saving heat.   Once the bones were removed, the net was dropped back down into the tower where it was then refilled with more reindeer parts, thus continue the process.   

Note this other word that was brought up when I keyed in net to the etymology sites search box:

nether (adj.) Old English niþera, neoþera "down, downwards, below, beneath," from Proto-Germanic *nitheraz (cf. Old Saxon nithar, Old Norse niðr, Old Frisian nither, Dutch neder, German nieder), from comparative of PIE *ni- "down, below" (cf. Sanskrit ni "down," nitaram "downward," Greek neiothen "from below," Old Church Slavonic nizu "low, down"). Has been replaced in most senses by lower (adj.).

Puts a whole new meaning to "inter-net"!!

UPDATE:

Since the above etymology of the word Nether reveals the root "ni"... reminding me of "night", I discovered the following:

night (n.) Old English niht (West Saxon neaht, Anglian næht, neht) "night, darkness;" the vowel indicating that the modern word derives from oblique cases (genitive nihte, dativeniht), from Proto-Germanic *nakht- (cf. Old Saxon and Old High German naht, Old Frisian and Dutch nacht, German Nacht, Old Norse natt, Gothic nahts). 

As you can see, there's a connection with knot/not/nott/net/nett.

This reminds me of a much earlier February 9, 2010 post that I had made in my Toumai blog entitled, Nott and Sere (revised), note this excerpt:

The picture inset shows Nótt, the personification of night in Norse mythology, riding her horse in this 19th century painting by Peter Nicolai Arbo. Butt (and it is a bigg one), "Sere" is one and the same. In origin "Sere" is also the month that was usurped by Augustus Caesar and since there was only 10 months in origin, “Sere” had been the 6th month-- beginning the second half of the year and so, the "nee of night" (interesting too, that the "knee" should happen to begin the second half of the leg). 

And then this next excerpt further along in the post:

 Of course,“Nott” also sounds much like Proto Germanic *nakht and PIE base: *nok(w)t, that would evolve into "noct" and our modern word "night". Certain related words are obvious by their phonetic similarities, ie – not (naught), knot, knit, nut, node, net, knuckle, nock (tip of a sail). But other related words are not so obvious, ie— know (gnosis), nose (nay in French), nigurm (L.-black)and nekros (death).  

Now, when we turn to the French, whose language is closer to the Prot Indo European roots a very different word for night is revealed— soiree. Along with soiree is found a whole list of words that are phonetically similar, ie— French "soeur" (which sounds more like “ser”) meaning “sister”. Hmm, soeur doesn’t sound much like sister?! Unless you go to the root origin, note etymology: PIE*swesor, one of the most persistent and unchanging PIE root words, recognizable in almost every modern I.E. language (cf. Skt. svasar-, Avestan shanhar-, L. soror, O.C.S., Rus. sestra, Lith. sesuo, O.Ir. siur, Welsh chwaer, Gk. eor). 
Okay, now we're rockin'-- we see similarity!! 

This brings me to phonetically similar “sere”, etymology: A good word now relegated to bad poetry, Sere evolved into “sear”, the root of which comes from PIE *saus- (cf. Skt. susyati "dries, withers;" O.Pers. uška- "dry" (adj.), "land" (n.); Avestan huška- "dry;" L. sudus "dry"), and Sere was an old name for "August." 

 Another point of interest re: sixth month Sere-- the French word for six is “sis”, which is also the prefix of “sister”.  

Now, we’re going to play inner twin etymology. Break down “sister” in two “si-ster”. The “ster” is a “feminine” word of old and circles around to mean “harden/stiffen” (hence “sterling”)

It's stands true that in the process of composting the meat within the net, it begins to "dry"... to sear and tying in with Sere.  It's also interesting to note that during the month of august in the northern hemisphere, plant life begins a process of  withering and drying.... dying.
