Billy Williams RIIP, Double Bill &Top Hat

The Deaths in 2013 site lists under June 11th, the following: 

• Billy Williams, 80, American baseball player (Seattle Pilots).^[78]

His name stands out given that Billy is a diminutive of William... and also because it "doubly" adds to the "Bill/William" Pattern-cluster.   Note the etymology/origins of the name William, re http://www.behindthename.com/name/william:

 From the Germanic name Willahelm, which was composed of the elements wil "will, desire" and helm "helmet, protection". 

Note the following from Billy Williams wiki page:

 William Williams (June 13, 1932 - June 11, 2013)^[1]

Go figure that... he was born on my birthday!?  Strange when you consider that on June 6th, I recorded the death of another notable William in my post entitled: Will Wynn RIIP, A Kwiladelphia Eagle, who was born on the same day as my son and my partner (Cathy):

 The obvious phrase in "Will Wynn", was enough to warrant further investigation, and so I ventured to his wiki page, and nearly fell off my seat when noting his date of birth:  

• William "Will" Wynn (born January 15, 1949, in Apex, North Carolina- died June 4, 2013 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) 

It seems that the inner twin world are stressing "Helmet Protection", and judging from my last two posts re: the "BIG HAT" Pattern-Cluster , they don't just mean a little protection, butt a BIGG one.  In fact, on June 13, 2013, my birthday, my post was entitled T.V. Abraham RIIP, Mr. Big Hat in Plain View, where on the death of T.V. Abraham I made the cryptic connection re: tv's Abraham ... as in the inner twin worlds way of referencing the recent movie about Abe Lincoln.  A long story short, Daniel Lewis, the actor who played the part of Abe, had also acted in "There Will Be Blood", a film whose cast included the following Frank Madrigal as Mr. Big Hat
As I explained in the post, the clues were all there-- the name Frank occurring once again, not to mention a recent `Hattie`pattern-cluster in my June 11th post entitled, Allen Derr RIIP, Reed v. Reed and Farmer in the Derry-O.  And of course Lincoln did wear a pretty big hat himself-- the fashionable "top hat" of his era.

So we're on the top/upper end of the "Opposites" pattern-cluster spectrum... given that Big and Top are the opposites of Little and Bottom.

Note the etymology:

   big (adj.) c.1300, northern England dialect, "powerful, strong," of obscure origin, possibly from a Scandinavian source (cf. Norwegian dialectal bugge "great man"). Old English used micel in many of the same senses.

 top (n.1) "highest point," Old English top "summit, crest, tuft," from Proto-Germanic *tuppaz (cf. Old Norse toppr "tuft of hair," Old Frisian top "tuft," Old Dutch topp, Dutchtop, Old High German zopf "end, tip, tuft of hair," German Zopf "tuft of hair")

It's audd the German use of "Z" in place of "T".  And come to think of it, the letter "u,v,ph,f and w" had supplanted the earlier use of "p/b"... not to mention the fact that the letter "o" is also a form of "au" combination... or earlier "ap/ab".  So then lets consider the name "Tou" (the name of my inner twin... as per my Blog title Toumai-- African word meaning "Hope for Life" and a cryptic "twomay"... with the suffix "may" being my first name)... as originating as "Tauu"/"Taw", and before this as "Tapp"/"Tabb"

Note the etymology:

 tab (n.1) "small flap," c.1600, possibly a dialectal word, of uncertain origin. Often interchangeable with tag (n.1). Cf. also Middle English tab "strap or string" (mid-15c.), Norwegian dialectal tave "piece of cloth, rag."

 tag (n.1) "small hanging piece from a garment," c.1400, perhaps from a Scandinavian source (cf. Norwegian tagg "point, prong, barb," Swedish tagg "prickle, thorn," Middle Low German tagge "branch, twig, spike"); cognate with tack (n.1).
tag (n.2) "children's game," 1738, perhaps a variation of Scot. tig "touch, tap" (1721), probably an alteration of Middle English tek "touch, tap" (see tick (2))

Note all the variations, and as you can see, the Norwegian dialect for tab was "tave"... hence enabling us to see, the b/v relationship.  And note the etymology of "tag (n.2)" above, where tag is associated with the word "touch"... so note the "tou" prefix.

touch (v.) late 13c., from Old French touchier "to touch, hit, knock" (11c.), from Vulgar Latin *toccare "to knock, strike"

I find these etymologies interesting and likely related via the same origins:

 tope (v.) "to drink heavily," 1650s, of unknown origin, perhaps ultimately from Italian toppa "done!" a word signifying acceptance of a bet.
toper (n.) 1670s, from tope!, exclamation used in drinking (1650s), from French or Italian, originally a word of acceptance in a wager, etc. Cf. tope (v.).
topiary (adj.) 1590s, from Latin topiarius "of or pertaining to ornamental gardening," from topia "ornamental gardening," from Greek topia, plural of topion, originally "a field," diminutive of topos "place" (see topos). The noun is first recorded 1908, from the adjective.
topic (n.) 1630s, "argument suitable for debate," singular form of "Topics" (1560s), the name of a work by Aristotle on logical and rhetorical generalities, from Latin Topica, from Greek Ta Topika, literally "matters concerning topoi," from topoi "commonplaces," neuter plural of topikos "commonplace, of a place," from topos "place" (seetopos). The meaning "matter treated in speech or writing, subject, theme" is first recorded 1720.

The early word "tope" as per the above reminds me of making a "toast"... but in this case the custom of "toasting" seems to have come from dunking dry "spiced" toast in wine... perhaps there's an ancient symbol behind it all-- one of rejuvenating life from death ... or of adding moisture (life) back into dry toast (death)... and of course red wine looks like blood.

toast (v.1) "to brown with heat," late 14c., from Old French toster "to toast or grill" (12c.), from Vulgar Latin *tostare (source of Italian tostare, Spanish tostar), frequentative of Latin torrere (past participle tostus) "to parch" (see terrain). Related: Toasted; toasting.
toasty (adj.) "warm and comfortable," 1890...

What is really interesting is the word "topos", that's associated with "place"... and from studying the related words, what appears to be an emphasis on not just a place, butt a "dry, warm place"... butt one that's wet enough to garden... it seems to describe the ultimate place... and if it's one of our ancestors  living in the frozen north where vocal language diverged from sign language, then "topos" was likely a diminutive from the ancient home that they developed to survive the biting cold...  a place that was also a garden. And for ancestral men shepherding the reindeer-- the composting/organic fuel used to heat this ancient "topos", or what I refer to as the "TUSSH" (Two United Structure System Home), they would see the bag of gas rising up from the central tower located in the middle of their topos as a sign for them to return home... hence the evolution of our modern word "to".

to (prep.) Old English to "in the direction of, for the purpose of, furthermore," from West Germanic *to (cf. Old Saxon and Old Frisian to, Dutch too, Old High German zuo, German zu "to"), from PIE pronomial base *do- "to, toward, upward" (cf. Latin donec "as long as," Old Church Slavonic do "as far as, to," Greek suffix -de "to, toward," Old Irish do, Lithuanian da-). 

Interesting that the origins of "to" is "upward"... so why "up"?!  The reason is because the bag of gas would rise up and so that's where the shepherds of old would look to see if it was time to come home, because when it reached its maximum (top), the Topos was in need of more fuel-- more reindeer meat, hence they would turn back -- to the topos.
Note the the "z" again in the etymology of "to".  Keep in mind that the "z" is a shortened form of "str" ... so consider then, that topos in origin was more like "stropos"... which connects to :

strop (n.) mid-14c., "loop or strap on a harness," probably from Old French estrop (see strap (n.)). Specific sense of "leather strap used for sharpening razors" first recorded 1702. The verb in this sense is from 1841. Distribution of senses between strap and strop is arbitrary.
strap (n.) 1610s, from Scottish and/or nautical variant of strope "loop or strap on a harness" (mid-14c.), probably from Old French estrop "strap," from Latin stroppus "strap, band," perhaps from Etruscan, ultimately from Greek strophos "twisted band," from strephein "to turn" (see strophe).

If you go back and examine the schematic diagrams of the TUSSH, you'll see that the bag of gas was "strapped" to prevent it from flying off.  The reason for this was to harness the power for one, and as a second to harvest the gas-- a residual of composting that offered another source that could be burned for heat and cooking... a light weight source that the shepherds could easily carry and rely on while traversing the frozen tundra.
