    Lutheran


    of the Slovak Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession to be exact. And I'm proud of it. Even though only 10% of Slovaks are Lutherans over 90% of the greatest figures in Slovak history were Lutherans. Our revolutionaries, writers, reformers, generals and politicians were almost all Lutheran. The rest of the Slovaks are mostly Catholics but they produced very few known individuals.

    But by my own belief system I'm an Agnostic and don't believe in the Abrahamic god.

    The song is from a manuscript containing texts used during holy mass, written in the Glagolitic alphabet. It is also the oldest known Old Church Slavonic manuscript known today!

    A song in Old Church Slavonic of the Great Moravian version

    Text:

    Цѣсарьствѣ нашємъ господі, мілостьѭ твоєѭ прізьрі: і нє отъдазь нашєго тѹзімъ, і нє обраті насъ въ плѣнъ народомъ поганскъимъ: Хріста раді господі нашєго, іжє цѣсарітъ съ отьцємь і съ Свѩтъимь Дѹхомь.

    PS: Imagine you're back a 1000 years!

    I am not sure which one is closer, but the Greek case doesn't seem to be 100% solid. I am suprised at the evident similarities with Slavic.

    glastra, megali, tessaron autia (Greek)
    Just let me comment on this in case its lost on me. The suggestion here is that Linear B has a closer connection to Slavic, than to Modern Greek ?

    Let me translate that part for you:

    dipa, mezoe, qetor-ove
    pot, large, four-eared

    dipae, mezoe, tiri-ovee
    pots, large, three-eared

    dipa, mevijo, qetor-ove
    pot, medium, four-eared

    dipa, mevijo, tirij-ove
    pot, medium, three-eared

    dipa, mevijo, an-ove
    pot, medium, no-eared

    This is interesting Slovak. What's the provenance of that inscription?

    Also, I'm no linguist, but dipa might be an archaic form of the word dupka, which means 'hole'.

    The reference to a cooking pot or pot of some sort is also functional, because holes are dug to make fire places, to make furnaces for cooking, smelting ...etc. Think of the "hole" of a traditional Roman fire place, which are usually underground, or in a basement ...etc. and how the use of a pot might relate to that. Its just an observation.

    Actually dipa sounds like the Slovak nadoba which also means pot.
    Well that is even closer than Dolap but still all tree can be related to each other.........

    Thanx Slovak.

    Ove certainly sounds like the Uvo both meaning ear.

    The numbers also reasamble the numbers we use.

    As for dipa, the closest possible related is the word Dolap which means something as wardrobe built in the wall.(In Serb similar to Ормар )

    Certainly not the same, but in a way possibly related since both are some of containers.

    who knows.........
