Roots
Latin vacare is to be empty; vacuus
means empty.
בקעה [V]iQ[A]H
or BiQ[A]H is a valley (Deuteronomy11:11); בקק BHaQaQ or [V]aQaQ is to empty (Isaiah24:1); בקק [V]aQaQ is the adj. empty; בוקה [V]OOQaH is emptiness and desolation (Nahum2:11). A verb of VACATING and EVACUATION is seen
in Isaiah19:3 – "And the spirit of Egypt shall be madeempty. . ."-- V’Ni[V]'QaH. Aramaic
BOOK and Hebrew בקבק BaQBooQ (IKings14:3) is a jar, cruse, bottle, etc. – see BEAKER
and BUCKET.
Branches
גוב GoaBH
is to dig (II Kings 25:12), which reverses to bilabial-guttural.
The given Indo-European “root” is eu
(lacking, empty). Cognates of VACATE at Indo-European “root” eu include EVACUATE,
VACANT, VACATE, VACATION, (VACUITY), VACUUM, VAIN, VANISH, VANITY, VAUNT, VOID;
(AVOID), (DEVOID), WANE, WANT and WASTE. The VN words above should derive from
a VN Hebrew etymon and are seen at VAIN. The cognate list would
have been less VACUOUS if it considered Grimm's Law variations of BK emptiness
to include words like BAG, BOX, POCK(ET), POKE(Y), VAGINATE (like a sheath) and
WAKE (the valley or water-groove that follows a ship). Scramble the letters to
get [E]eQ[V]aH, a wake.
Fa (n)ga is a valley or
gulch in Proto-Polynesian. See GIBBON for antonyms that reverse BK
or BG.
Variants of
the Hebrew root include BOOGHaH (bubble), PaGahR (empty of energy, exhausted –
I Samuel30:21)
and PaGRaH (Aramaic term for free time or a VACATION). These last two terms
may help form a better etymon for VAGABOND, VAGARY, VAGRANCY and VAGUE.
Reverse the
BK root for the many holes seen at CAVITY. Ipuka in Hawaiian
is a hole in the wall for air or light. A Chinese dimple is a wach'u.
See BUCKET.
Relevant to
the Bhet-Koof and bottle words above, Japanese akibin isabottle
and some of the Koof-Bhet synonyms include QaBHaBH (to hollow out).
To get to
the bottom of something, one must split open, BaQ[A]h, investigate and examine
, BeeQaiR
and search,
BeeQaiSH. Thus, a “bottom” word of underlying circumstance, like “deep”
contains a B-K element throughout Slavic — like Czech hluboky, deep.
In Japanese, “deep” shifts bilabials to be fukai.
Like BaQ[A]h, to split open, divide, rip
up (Exodus 14:16), Hungarian veg ist o cut.
The built-in opposite of bilabial-gutteral בקע BeQ[A]h (an indentation, valley, split)
is guttural-bilabial קו QahV, a straight
line. See QUEUE.
