The Deaths in 2013 site lists under October 26:
Obviously "Unifics" is a play on the words "Terrific" and "Unique", and from past experience I'm more than aware of the inner twin propensity for generating pattern-clusters of this nature. What immediately comes to mind is that "unique" stems from the word one/uni, and so I can't help butt wonder if the "ter" prefix in "terrific" actually comes from three?
In the past, I've considered the possibility that via an earlier source, the name "John" is related to English "one", "young" and French "Jeune" (meaning "young"). You have to admit that one (in terms of a persons age) is very "young", and you may not think that "John" sounds anything like "one" ... at least not until you hear the Spanish equivalent "Juan" (they don't pronounce the "J"). Note the following etymology :
I've included my other research below if you care investigate for yourself and if you don't want to be bothered, skip on to my next post that investigates further into what the inner twin world have to say through the life and death of Al Johnson:
**********
Al Johnson, 65, American soul singer (The Unifics).His surname Johnson is an addition to the "John/Joanne/Jack/Jones/Johnson..." pattern-cluster, butt it was the "Unifics" that really grabbed my attention-- I detected an addition to the cryptic "Phrases in Names" pattern-cluster... as in "uni fix" or in other words: "one fix".

In the past, I've considered the possibility that via an earlier source, the name "John" is related to English "one", "young" and French "Jeune" (meaning "young"). You have to admit that one (in terms of a persons age) is very "young", and you may not think that "John" sounds anything like "one" ... at least not until you hear the Spanish equivalent "Juan" (they don't pronounce the "J"). Note the following etymology :
- young (adj.) from Proto-Germanic *jungas (...Dutch jong, Old High German and Gothic juggs), from PIE *juwngkos, from PIE root *yeu- "youthful vigor" Lithuanian jaunas, Old Church Slavonic junu, Welsh ieuanc "young").
- John re http://www.behindthename.com/name/john : English form of Iohannes
From the above, I've highlighted certain words in yellow in order to point out how the letters "J", "Y", and "I" are interchangeable. This occurs with many of our words, for instance "yellow" was once "geolu"-- spelled and pronounces with a "G" instead of a "Y", the French have retained somewhat of the "G" sound in their equivalent word "Jaune". As another example of a hidden "g" origin is found in our English word "I", and note how it resembles the number "1" (a similarity that I've broached in previous posts).
- I (pron.) 12c. shortening of Old English ic, ...from Proto-Germanic *ekan (cf. Old Frisian ik, Old Norse ek, Norwegian eg, Danish jeg, Old High German ih, German ich, Gothic ik), from PIE *eg-, ...Sanskrit aham, Latin ego (source of French Je)
Although the etymology dictionary doesn't provide a record of a hidden "g" in the word "one", however it does reveal a hidden "i" and a hidden "c" in the word "ace":
- one (n.)c.1200, from Proto-Germanic *ainaz (cf. Old Norse einn,... from PIE *oi-no- "one, unique" (cf. Greek oinos "ace (on dice)...
- ace (n.) perhaps Etruscan, related to Greek eis "one" (from PIE *sem- one, "as one")
It's interesting that the word "Ace" should crop up again... a third time in fact. Note my previous post title: Marcia Wallace RIIP: Wall Flower to Wall Ace, and the following excerpt:
It just so happens that Black Jack cropped up not long ago, note the following excerpt from my earlier post today re Frank Perconte RIIP: Band of Brothers Build a Brydge:
So from the above one can easily see that an "Ace/1/11/Black Jack"pattern-cluster had already cropped up... occurring as a direct result of the "timely" deaths of Frank Perconte and Marcia Wallace, both of whom passed away on October 24th and 25th respectively.
- I thought that there must be a film called "Black Jack"... which would be very much in keeping with the inner twin way... an addition to the "Opposites" pattern-cluster.
I've included my other research below if you care investigate for yourself and if you don't want to be bothered, skip on to my next post that investigates further into what the inner twin world have to say through the life and death of Al Johnson:
- terrific (adj.) 1660s, terrere "fill with fear" (see terrible) + root of facere "to make" (see factitious). Weakened sensed of "very great, severe" (e.g. terrific headache) appeared 1809; colloquial sense of "excellent" began 1888.
-
- terrible (adj.) from terrere "fill with fear," from PIE root *tres- "to tremble"
As you can see from the above etymology, the prefix meant to "tremble"... butt then where does this originate? It could very well be that "three" and "tremble" come from the same origin... albeit buried and/or lost to us altogether. Note the following etymology that may be related to "tremble":
- ter- word-forming element meaning "thrice, three times,"...
- tera- from Greek teras (genitive teratos) "marvel, monster."
- terrain (n.) from terra "earth, land," literally "dry land" (as opposed to "sea"); from PIE root *ters- "to dry" (cf. Sanskrit tarsayati "dries up," Avestan tarshu- "dry, solid,"
