Once again, a notable person has just been added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site today, having died 14 days ago:
- Diana McVeagh, 98, British music author.
Diana McVeagh (6 September 1926 – 2 July 2025)
Note from my previous post made yesterday, The Best Way Forward :
Although it’s highly unusual to have someone just added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site on July 15th, who had passed away on July 1st, it does happen, and it’s likely a strategic move. Such is the case with Carlos Carnicero:
Carlos Carnicero Giménez de Azcárate (September 9, 1951 – July 1, 2025)
Note that both were born in September, … AND McVeagh on the 6th, vs Carlos on the 9th. Note how the 6 is an upside down and reversed 9. Well, the 6 shares the same key on my keyboard as the ^ (roof symbol)— yet another strategic design influence that is meant to communicate to us what it takes for us to change the 9/9 (double sadness— from 9 sharing the same key on my keyboard as the left bracket that makes the down turned mouth of the unhappy emoticon. Not as well, the ^ is also like an arrow/spear head pointing up. Keep in mind that a roof is also a symbol of protection… as is an arrow/spear head.
The surname McVeagh is of Gaelic origin, primarily found in Ireland and Scotland. It is derived from the Gaelic name Mac Bheatha, which translates to "son of life" or "son of the lively one".
The online etymology site I use, brings up the following on keying in the “veagh” (portion of Mc Veagh) to the sites search box:
verge(n.)
"edge, rim," mid-15.; earlier "rod, staff" (c. 1400), which is the etymological sense of its source, Latin
Okay, it’s not the same word at all, butt, this is also in keeping with the inner twin worlds way— their means of generating strategic designs. What you will note from that origin of verge, is that it means “edge, rim” in origin, two words that when keyed into this blogs search box will bring up many posts, most of which that deal with a particular event involving the outer rim/edge of certain tectonic plates. In fact, note this recent addition to wikipedias Deaths in 2025 site:
- Edith Raim (1965 – 1 July 2025) 59–60, German historian
David Lipsey, Baron Lipsey, 77, British journalist and life peer (since 1999)
The word “lip” in lipsey, is often used to define an edge or rim, note the following from the etymology of
lip: "edge or margin of a cup, etc."
The etymology source brings up the following on keying in “vay” and then “Vee” to its search engine:
mid-13c., a variant of wei (late 12c.) "misery, trouble, grief, wretchedness," from the interjection wei! "ah! oh! alas!", Old English wa!, Northumbrian wæ, representing a common exclamation of lament in many languages. Compare Latin væ, Greek oa, German weh, Lettish wai, Old Irish fe, Welsh gwae, Armenian vay. Old French ouai, Italian and Spanish guai are considered to be from Germanic.
vee(n.) 1869, to denote the shape of the letter V.
As you can see, “vay” is the Armenian word for “woe”. What you need to realize, is that the inner twin world have played a part in influencing our very words and including names. They want to draw connection to “life/the lively one”, to “woe”. Because they have strategically connected “vay” to a country— Armenia, we are prompted to consider this our next lead. First of all, note that Armenia has within it three words: “arm”, “me” and “men” via the “Word in Name” pattern cluster”. On venturing to the Armenian wikipedia page, I learn that the place name originates from:
Armenia derives from the name of Aram
The Aram wikipedia page brings us to the following etymology:
According to philologist Armen Petrosyan, the name Aram is likely an Armenian word that directly developed from Proto-Indo-European *rēmo-, meaning "black".[1][2] Petrosyan argues that both Armenian Aram and Indic Rama derive from a "common" Indo-European myth about a hero whose name means black (PIE *h₂reh₁mo-) defeating a foe named "bright, white, silver" (PIE *h₂erg-).[3] Iranologist Anahit Perikhanian derives Aram, as well as the names of the other legendary Armenian patriarchs Aramaneak and Aramayis, from Middle Median *Arām, from Old Iranian *Rāma- (meaning "joy, peace").
Note from the blacksmith wiki page:
There was a historical distinction between the heavy work of the blacksmith and the more delicate operations of a whitesmith, who usually worked in gold, silver, pewter, or the finishing steps of fine steel
The "black" in "blacksmith" refers to the black firescale. a layer of oxides that forms on the surface of the metal during heating. The origin of smith is the Old English word smið meaning "blacksmith", originating from the Proto-Germanic *smiþaz meaning "skilled worker"
Now THAT is interesting— the blacksmith vs whitesmith definition,… perhaps the above information regarding the myth of a person whose name means “Black” defeating a foe whose name means “Bright, White, Silver”— a poetic way of ushering in the “iron” age— when it comes to warfare, steel is far better than the softer metals that were used in the past re — tin, led, gold. Today, pewter smiths are said to work with “white metals”, which I happen to be— I cast white metals/pewter items.
What makes this even more meaningful, is that the name “Smith” has factored in recent posts, note the title of my July 14th post : SMITH--Ö (x7) Cruising For a Bruising!!
So, getting back to “Vay”, there is something to be said of similar words that rhyme that also reveal a common thread— the the “y” replaced an original “g” (and/or c, k…), note the following etymology:
say(v.)
Middle English seien, from Old English secgan "to utter, inform, speak, tell, relate," from Proto-Germanic *sagjanan
may(v.1)
Old English mæg "am able"… , from PIE root *magh- "to be able, have power."
May
PIE *mag-ya "she who is great," fem. suffixed form of root *meg- "great"
pay(v.)
from Latin pacare "to please, pacify, satisfy",… from pax (genitive pacis) "peace" (see peace) peace(n.).. from PIE root *pag- "to fasten" (which is the source also of Latin pacisci "to covenant or agree;" see pact), perhaps on the notion of "a binding together" by treaty or agreement
hay(n.)
"grass mown," Old English heg (Anglian), hieg, hig (West Saxon) "grass cut or mown for fodder," from Proto-Germanic *haujam, literally "that which is cut," or "that which can be mowed" (from PIE *kau- "to hew, strike;" source also of Old English heawan "to cut;" see hew).
quay(n.)
… Old Celtic *kagio- "to encompass, enclose" (source also of Welsh cae "fence, hedge," Cornish ke"hedge"), from PIE root *kagh- "to catch, seize; wickerwork, fence" (see hedge(n.)).
lay(v.)
"to cause to lie or rest,"… , from PIE root *legh- "to lie down, lay."
day(n.)
…from Proto-Germanic *dages- "day" (source also of Old Saxon, Middle Dutch, Dutch dag, … according to Watkins, from PIE root *agh- "a day." He adds that the Germanic initial d- is "of obscure origin." But Boutkan says it is from PIE root *dhegh- "to burn" (see fever).
play(v.)
Middle English pleien, from Old English plegan, plegian "move lightly andquickly, Old Frisian plega "tend to," Middle Dutch pleyen "to rejoice, be glad," German pflegen "take care of, cultivate"). This apparently is connected to the root of plight (v.)
flay(v.)
Old English flean "to skin, to flay" (strong verb, past tense flog, past participle flagen), from Proto-Germanic *flahan (source also of Middle Dutch vlaen, Old High German flahan, Old Norse fla), from PIE root *pl(e)ik-, *pleik- "to tear, rend"
bray(v.)
"utter a loud and harsh cry," c. 1300, from Old French braire "to cry," from Gallo-Roman *bragire "to cry out"
gray(adj.)
"of a color between white and black; having little or no color or luminosity," Old English græg "gray"
As to where and what the origin of “Y”… or “ay” or “ai” or “g”, note these two root word origins:
*aiw-
also *ayu-, Proto-Indo-European root meaning "vital force, life; long life, eternity."
*ag-
Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to drive, draw out or forth, move."
So it would seem then, that “vay” … and “Veagh” is related to vague:
vague(adj.)
1540s, of statements, "uncertain as to specifics, without precise expression or determination," from French vague "empty, vacant; wild, uncultivated; wandering" (13c.), from Latin vagus "strolling, wandering, rambling," figuratively "vacillating, uncertain."
And maybe bag is related to bay:
bay(n.1)
"inlet, recess in the shore of a sea or lake," c. 1400, from Old French baie, Late Latin baia (source of Spanish and Portuguese bahia, Italian baja)
Well, when you think about it, a bay could be seen as a container/bag that fills from the sea and rivers. AND, our word “play” is likely related to French “plage” (beach). Note this etymology:
plage(n.)
"a region, district, land, country," late 14c., from Old French plage (13c.) and directly from Late Latin plagia "a plain, shore," noun use of adjective (plagia regio), from plaga "a region, stretch of country" (see pelagic).
pelagic(adj.)
"pertaining to the open sea, marine, oceanic" (as opposed to coastal), 1650s, from Latin pelagicus, from Greek pelagikos, from pelagos "sea, high sea, open sea, main." Beekes rejects the traditional derivation from PIE root *plak- (1) "to spread out, be flat" as without evidence and concludes instead that "the word rather seems to be Pre-Greek." In later use especially "living at or near the surface of the open ocean."
