kr.a_d.i 'tiger'; kra_d.i 'double-axe': Sarasvati hieroglyphs

 

http://hinducivilization.blogspot.com/

 

When a double-axe is used as a glyph on an inscription, the message

conveyed is that the seal-owner is a seller of earthenware, a

lapidary. That it is a 'double-axe' is re-inforced by the

archaeological find of a double-axe (in Mesopotamia, Ur

Mes-kalam-dug's grave chamber.)

 

kr.a_d.i also denotes a 'tiger'; so does kol 'tiger'. Since the tiger

is ligatured to a woman, it may be appropriate to read 'tiger' as kol

treating the ligature of a woman as a phonetic determinant.

 

The glyph of a hornet is also a Sarasvati hieroglyph; lexeme? kra_nd.i

'black hornet'; rebus: kra_d.i 'double-axe'. The messages conveyed by

Sarasvati hieroglyphs are products and tools-of-trade of

metallurgists/lapidaries of the civilization. Illustrated London News

proclaimed: Chanhudaro was an ancient Sheffield of Ancient India.

 

It is significant that the Chanhudaro seal shows the double-axe glyph

in front of an antelope. mr..eka 'goat' (Te.); milakkhu 'copper'

(Pali). Mleccha, Meluhha ! No wonder, mlecchamukha means 'copper' in

Samskr.tam.

 

Double-axe found in a Mesopotamian site. Comparable to the double-axe

shown on Chanhudaro seal C-23. Pictorial motif of a double-axe is a

Sarasvati hieroglyph (Pict-133). See pictures at:

By depicting a double-axe on a seal, the message conveyed is: kra_d.i

'double-axe'; read rebus: kara_d.iyo 'seller of earthenware, earthen

goblets, smoking pipes etc.' (G.)

 

kr.a_d.i, kra_nd.i 'tiger' (Kui)

kra_nd.i 'black hornet' (Kui)

 

kra_d.i 'large axe' (Kui) karan.d.amu 'sword' (Te.)

 

kara_d.o (G.) = carpenter's tool used in hewing down large pieces of wood

kara_ti_ = sawyer (B.); kart.u 'saw' (S.)

karad.e 'Drum (oblong, double)' (Ka.)karat.i 'fencing' (Ta.)

karad.a 'crown' (IL)

 

kara_d.iyo, kara_l.iyo 'Seller of earthenware, earthen goblets,

smoking pipes etc.' (G.)

 

See picture of a cylinder seal from Kalibangan, showing 'fencing' and

also, a woman ligatured to the bodyof a

tiger:http://www.hindunet.org/hindu_history/sarasvati/pictures/K065a-t.jpg

 

This ligature points to the woman as a phonetic determinant: kol

'woman' (Nahali); kol 'tiger' (Mu.)

daggers, chisels and other tools, copper jugs, silver bowls and a set

of arrows.
