Note the following Addition to the Deaths in 2014 site under January 23re:
This is the second Olympic medal winner to die within two days, both involving "winter" sports and "speed"... hence adding to the "Winter/Ice/Snow..." and the "Speed/Hurry/Run Don't Walk..." pattern-cluster themes as of late. The second was Igor Badamshin, who I wrote about in my previous post.
- Jan Pesman, 82, Dutch Olympic bronze-medalist speed skater (1960).[18]
So I decided to do an etymology search re the word "Pes" as per the prefix of the surname "Pesman", note what cropped up from the online etymology source:
pessimism (n.) 1794 "worst condition possible," borrowed (by Coleridge) from French pessimisme, formed (on model of French optimisme) from Latin pessimus "worst," originally "bottom-most," from PIE *ped-samo-, superlative of root *pes- "foot" (see foot (n.)). As a name given to the doctrines of Schopenhauer, Hartmann, etc., that this is the worst possible world, or that everything tends toward evil, it is first recorded 1835, from German pessimismus (Schopenhauer, 1819). The attempt to make a verb of it as pessimize (1862) did not succeed.So "pes" means foot in origin, hence we have another connection to Badamshin re (my bad shin). The surname then becomes a cryptic communication re "footman" ... but the key is the connection to
"pessimism" ... the "bottom-most" (as per the above), butt what "bottom-most" conjures up in my mind, is the TUSSHES (aka 666^^^). The inner twin world expressing our "pessimistic" response
thus far to their proposal.... as in no "peso's" toward the project. Note the first three items that
cropped up on my etymology search re "pes":
- pesky (adj.)1775... from pest (cf. plaguy "confounded, annoying, disagreeable").
- peso (n.) "Spanish coin," 1550s, from Spanish peso, literally "a weight," from Latin pensum, properly past participle of pendere "to hang, to cause to hang" (see pendant).
- pessary (n.) 1400, from Late Latin pessarium, from Greek pessarion "medicated tampon of wool or lint," diminutive of pessos "pessary," earlier "oval stone used in games,"
Keep in mind that skates and ski's enable one to travel much speedier on snow and ice rather than
simply on foot. I consider this to be the inner twin world's way of encouraging us to see the TUSSH as a superior means by which we can survive the next Glacial Event... and perhaps it's the only means. It is argued by experts that mankind evolved from hominids to modern man due to the Iceage that we are presently in, one that began 5,000,000 years ago... so Ice and snow propelled us along as a species and then ice and snow propelled us along in the discovery of ski's and skates.
Researching the etymology of "shin" and "ski" , I discover that they come from the same origin:
Note the etymology of "shed":
"building for storage," 1855, earlier "light, temporary shelter" (late 15c., shadde), possibly a dialectal variant of a specialized use of shade (n.). Originally of the barest sort of shelter. Or from or influenced in sense development by Middle Englishschudde (shud) "a shed, hut."
"cast off," Old English sceadan, scadan "to divide, separate, part company; discriminate, decide; scatter abroad, cast about," strong verb (past tense scead, past participle sceadan), from Proto-Germanic *skaithan (cf. Old Saxon skethan, Old Frisiansketha, Middle Dutch sceiden, Dutch scheiden, Old High German sceidan, German scheiden "part, separate, distinguish," Gothic skaidan "separate"), from *skaith "divide, split."
