Leaver Lever

My previous post records a “Weaver Surname” pattern-cluster, that led to the following:

It’s no coincidence that “beaver” rhymes with weaver... and that a beaver “weaves” wood to build dams and homes, or that the beaver is our National Animal here in Canada ...   or that it’s on our 5 cent piece... or that the name Quinn that has cropped up above is an addition to the “Remove a Letter Makes a word” pattern-cluster... as in remove an “n” makes “quin” which means “five” in origin!!  It’s no accident that weaver and beaver rhymes with “heaver”... and that at this time, most of Canada is in the process of “heaving” as a product of “Post Glacial Rebound”.   We in Canada are lucky— we will be spared .... we are the “leavers”— as our land is rising, others are in the process of and WILL fall. 

• leave (v.)Old English læfan "to allow to remain in the same state or condition; to let remain, allow to survive; to have left (of a deceased person, in reference to heirs, etc.); to bequeath (a heritage)," from Proto-Germanic *laibjanan (source also of Old Frisian leva "to leave," Old Saxon farlebid "left over"), causative of *liban "remain" (source of Old English belifan, German bleiben, Gothic bileiban "to remain"), from PIE root *leip- "to stick, adhere."

And also a strategic design influence of the inner twin world is the word that rhymes with beaver, weaver, and leaver,  that’s also phonetically identical to leaver, butt spelled different:

• lever (n.)"simple machine consisting of a rigid piece acted upon at different points by two forces," c. 1300, from Old French levier (12c.) "a lifter, a lever, crowbar," agent noun from lever "to raise" (10c.), from Latin levare "to raise,"

It’s no accident that the original meaning of lever is “to raise”, that’s related to “heaver”!!
