Overview of the sky-gods for a great number of signaries
In the essay The Lepontic Alphabet as a Source for the Runic Signaries and Notes to the Origin of
the Elder Futhark and Ogham Runes I checked the composition of a a few 2-dimensional displayed
patterns for well-known signaries, which were mapped into the 2-dimensional arrays.
Most of the signaries and alphabets are derived from the North Semitic Order of the Ugaritic
alphabet. Only the Geʽez abjad (displaying the theonym NYḪWS) may be derived from the South
Semitic Order of the Ugaritic alphabet:
The following patterns for the sky-god's theonyms are a 3-gram or 5-grams: IΕV, TIΕVS, ΘΙΕΥs,
ΘIUEŚ, ΘIVEŚ, ΘIVAZ, ⲐⲈⲒⲊⲢ, ÞIEVS, TĪÆWS, TIÉU, DIÉU, ... :

Table 3 A sky-god's theonym ṬYḪWŠ (ṬYḪWŠ) at the 2nd row of the Ugaritic Signary
(in a Latin transliteration)
3 The Ugaritic writing system is a cuneiform abjad (consonantal alphabet) used from around either the fifteenth
century BCE[1] or 1300 BCE[2] for Ugaritic, an extinct Northwest Semitic language, and discovered in Ugarit
(modern Ras Al Shamra), Syria, in 1928. It has 30 letters. (Source: Ugaritic alphabet)
Comparing the Northern & Southern Semitic Orders 4
Obviously the 3-letter theonyms may be found in the lines with the palatal Y-letter, which is found
in different locations.
The palatal Y may be followed by a guttural letter Ḫ and a labial W, which is found in the Northern
Semitic order of the Ugaritic alphabet and the Ge'ez-alphabet.
In the southern Semitic order the palatal Y is shifted to the 5th line, which is followed by the ʿ and a
labial ʾU.

The inherited theonyms
The highlighted sky-god's theonym ṬYḪWŠ (ṬYḪWŠ) is inherited to most Indo-European
alphabets (Greek,, Latin, Futhark, Ogham) and the Hebrew alphabet.5
According to the Sefer Yetzirah the Great Name, I H V is selected from the simple letters, which in
Hebrew language may represent vowels I, E, U or consonants J, H, V. The translation interprets the
formula I H V.
Chapter 1-11. He selected three letters from among the simple ones and sealed them and
formed them into a Great Name, I H V, (28) and with this He sealed the universe in six
directions7.
In the 2-dimensional table of the Hebrew alphabet the Great Name is located at the 2nd row:
6 Footnote in Modern Hebrew phonology (quoted in The Composition of the Sky-God's Name in PIE-Languages)
7 Chapter I - quoted from the Wikisource Sefer Yetzirah, translated by W. W. Westcott ,
The Latin Alphabet
The fifth letter “(s15)” of the Latin theonym (ÞIΕVS) and “(s15)” in the early Greek theonym
(ΘΙΕΥs) is based on the Ugaritic letter Ś13 which had been skipped from the Latin and Greek
alphabets.
The Latin and early Greek alphabet do not contain the physical Ś13, but the 2-dimensional array still
reserves the last position of the second row for a ghost letter, which is found in the Hebrew alphabet
as Samekh S15.
A similar Ghost letter (Ts18) is found in the 3rd row.
Any ghost letters above the displayed theonym do not disturb the Great Names. Therefore the
alphabetical extensions and additional symbols are included at the end of the alphabet.
In the lower and lowest rows of the 2-dimensional table any skipped, added or modified letter may
destroy the pattern of the theonym. In archaic times the Great Name may have been protected by
keeping the initial section of the alphabet intact. Often the modifications of letters also disturbed the
archaic numbering systems. Therefore the Roman leaders avoided the proposed addition of
Claudius' letters. Most recent extensions had to be added at the end of the alphabet.
The direction of writing is Boustrophedon (like plowing: left-to-right and right-to-left in alternate
lines), which indicates an ancient concept10.
There are various orders and lengths for the Lepontic/Lugano alphabet. In Wikipedia the number of
the alphabet's character is defined as 18 letters, although the Lugano (Lepontic) language in the
table11 specifies a length of 17 characters.12

The display of the theonym ΘIVAZ (Θ5-I6-V3-A1-Z4) in the bottom line of the 2-dimensional 20-
letter Lepontic alphabet may have been planned. This purposed design required a reduction of circa
4 letters (B, D, C, H) at the beginning of the Ugaritic alphabet.
Obviously some of skipped letters B, Ḫ, D, H may have been lost in the Celtic Leponto and Celtic
Gallic alphabets, which are beginning with A, C, E, V, Z, H, Θ, I. The D is still found in the Hebrew
alphabet. The B and H are still found in the Etruscan alphabet. The Θ of the Celtic Leponto is
missing in the Celtic Gallic alphabet.

The early 23-letter Etruscan alphabet
The Etruscan alphabet was the alphabet used by the Etruscans, an ancient civilization of central
and northern Italy, to write their language, from about 700 BC to sometime around 100 AD.
The Etruscan alphabet derives from the Euboean alphabet used in the Greek colonies in southern
Italy which belonged to the "western" ("red") type, the so called Western Greek alphabet. Several
Old Italic scripts, including the Latin alphabet, derived from it (or simultaneously with it).
The earliest known Etruscan abecedarium is inscribed on the frame of a wax tablet in ivory,
measuring 8.8×5 cm, found at Marsiliana (near Grosseto, Tuscany). It dates from about 700 BC,
and lists 26 letters corresponding to contemporary forms of the Greek alphabet, including digamma,
san and qoppa, but not omega which had still not been added at the time. 13

The skipped letters B, D, X and O, which are inherited from the Euboean alphabet are needed to
display the theonym in the Etruscan alphabet. Therefore we may reserve the representative locations

Table 19: The location of the theonym ΘIVEŚ (Θ7-I8-V4-A1-Z3) in the 23-letter early Etruscan
alphabet, in which the rudimentary letters B and D and O and X are skipped
Both the early Etruscan Alphabet and the Celtic Leponto alphabet skipped 4 letters (B, D O and X,
respectively B, D, C/G and H). Both skipped the same categories, but different letters.
The Elder Futhark signary seems to have chosen to have garbled the alphabet in order to display a
similar theonym at another row of the 2-dimensional array.
The design of the 24-letter Elder Futhark signary
From: Notes to the Origin of the Elder Futhark and Ogham runes (10.6.2021)
The Kylver Stone, listed in the Rundata catalog as runic inscription G 88, is a Swedish runestone
which dates from about 400 AD. It is notable for its listing of each of the runes in the Elder
Futhark14. The Kylver stone is inscribed with the earliest known sequential listing of the 24 runes of
the Elder Futhark,[4]
Order Nr. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

Table 20 One-dimensional table of the Kylver Stone signary (…ᚢᚦᚨᚱᚲᚷ…ᚺᚾᛁᛃᛈᛇᛉᛊᛏᛒᛖᛗᛚᛜᛞᛟ )
The one-dimensional rows of the Kylver Stone and the two Vadstena and Mariedamm bracteates
may be transformed to the same two-dimensional table with the theonym TĪWÆZ.
The theonym TĪWÆZ is displayed at the 3rd row of the 2-dimensional array of the elder Futhark.
The designs for the runic symbols of the Elder Futhark may have been inspired by the Euboean,
Etruscan or North Italic (Lepontic or Gallic) alphabets. The order of the letters seems to have been
garbled to avoid any collision with other alphabets.
The theonym TĪWÆZ at the 3rd row of the Kylver Stone's signary seems to follow the standard
mechanism to display one variant for the theonym of the sky-god DYAUS.
There is no evidence for direct connections to the 23-letter early Etruscan alphabet or the 20-letter
Celtic Leponto alphabet, in which some relevant letters such as the B and D are missing.
A suitable source to design the Elder Futhark would be the Euboan alphabet, which contains all
relevant letters.
14 Kylver Stone
The design of the ogham signaries
It is generally thought that the earliest inscriptions in ogham date to about the 4th century AD,[8]
but James Carney believed its origin is rather within the 1st century BC.[9] The earliest scriptures
may have used runes, which were used without an “alphabetical” order or with a restricted set of
symbols.
The first three aicmí consist of 15 consonants, which allows to use the letters without any vowels.
The fourth aicme ("family") contains 5 vowels, which for a display of the pentagram “TIEU(X)”
need to be positioned in a special order. This order is guaranteed for the Goidelic, Pictish and
standard order. Only the Mediaval order misses a letter N and displays a distorted theonym NgIΕM.
All 4 aicmí are ordered as follows: A-O-U-E-I, which controls the sequence IEU in “TIEU(X)”. For the
“T” is earlier inserted at the 4th line of the 2-dimensional alphabet.
There is a standard order15 (defined in Wikipedia), local orders (Goidelic and Pictish) and
chronological orders such as the medieval order. I decided to investigate the following 4 orders16:
Aicme Beithe Aicme hÚatha Aicme Muine Aicme Ailme
Goidelic order B L N F/V S H D T C Q M G NG SS R A O U Ε I
Pictish order B L V S N H D T K KH M G NG ST R A O U Ε I
Medieval order B L F S V H D T K Q M G NG DD R A O U Ε I
Standard order B L F S N H D T C Q M G NG Z R A O U Ε I
Table 22 3 chronological orders from Proto-Ogham (2008) and the “standard order”.
(and additionally the forfeda : CH, TH, P, Ph, X-SK, and/or EA, OI, UI, IA, AE.)
A possible source for the (especially: Goidelic and Pictish) ordered ogham signaries may be found
in the mission of the bishop Palladius, who was consecrated by Pope Celestine I and sent to Ireland
in 431 AD - "to the Scotti believing in Christ". Palladius landed at Arklow. At this landing he may
have designed and explained the Goidelic order.
According to St Prosper, Palladius arrived among the Scots in North Britain (in the consulate of
Bassus and Antiochus) after he left Ireland in 431.[9] Scottish church tradition holds that he
presided over a Christian community there for about 20 years. At this landing he may have designed
and explained the Pictish order.
In order to explain these mechanisms I will list the 4 tables from the earlier essay: The Arrays (and
the Presumed Theonym TIEU) of the Ogham Signary.
15 From www.ancientscripts.com/ogham.html
16 Source: The Arrays (and the Presumed Theonym TIEU) of the Ogham Signary (11.02.2021)
The various arrays of the ogham signaries
Three of the 4 arrays of the ogham signaries display a typical PIE-theonym “TIΕU” in the 4th row of
the signary. Only the medieval order displays a theonym “NgIΕM” in the 4th row of the signary.
We say the universe ; we say an atom : the universe is the whole, the atom is its
smallest part.21.

Michel Foucault also quotes from the “Encyclopédie”:
“The language of a people furnishes its vocabulary, and the vocabulary is a fairly
faithful register of all the knowledge of that people”.

The label LIBER in Diderot's “Encyclopedia”
In the essay “Dieu” in the same “Encyclopédie” Johann Heinrich Samuel Formey describes the
attribute “liberty” (“freedom”) of the sky-god, who is free in his decisions:
Seventh proposition. That the being existing-by-itself should be a free agent. If the
supreme cause is without freedom and without choice, it is impossible for anything to
exist...
The necessary being is thus a free being, for to act following the laws of one’s will is to
be free. See Liberty, Optimism, etc.23

Summary
There are five locations to generate phonetic sounds and 5-letter words (Pentagrams), which are
activating these 5 phonetic sources. A subset of these five locations are the restricted to a number of
3-letter words (or Trigrams).
These 5 categories (linguals, palatals, gutturals, labials and dentals) may have been known to
archaic peoples and might have influenced the languages and the signaries or alphabets.
The motivations to investigate the pentagrams are:
• The 5 categories for alphabetical letters are specified in the Sefer Yetzirah (Book of
Formation, or Book of Creation, 3rd or 4th century AD27). The twenty-two letters of the
Hebrew alphabet are classified both with reference to the position of the vocal organs in
producing the sounds, and with regard to sonant intensity.
• A number of names of the sky-gods ( *DYAUS-PITAR, DJOUS PITER and *DII ĒUS) are
composed as pentagrams, which may be displayed in the 2-dimensional tables of the
corresponding alphabets.
• A number of Germanic names of the sky-gods (TIVAR, TĪÆWS, TIÉU,..) may be displayed
in the 2-dimensional tables of the corresponding alphabets.
• Trigrams may be found as Mediterranean personal pronouns (IAU, IEU, IOU) for the 1st
person singular and as the Great Name IHV in Sefer Yetzirah.28
This paper describes the suitable architecture for the family of alphabets which enables and supports
the heritage of the required symbols to display the correct theonyms TĪWAZ or *TIEWS in the
Futhark and TIΕU in the Ogham signaries.
27 According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, the essential elements of the book are characteristic of the 3rd or 4th century
28 11. He selected three letters from among the simple ones and sealed them and formed them into a Great Name, I H
V, (28) and with this He sealed the universe in six directions. Sefer Yetzirah trranslated from Hebrew by Wm. Wynn
