Have you seen the extensive (and pleasingly quirky) web-site of the Indo-European Language Revival Association at http://dnghu.org ? I can describe it only as, well, far better explored than described ... start exploring! Hello again, Jeff!

Also, have you ever looked at "be" in its various forms ("am/is/are/was/were"/etc.)? For that matter, why look only at nouns/verbs/adjectives? Why not trace the origins of even commoner words, such as "and/over/out" ... or the dummy auxiliary "do[es]"? Has your “Word of the Day” column ever looked at the word “word”?

This, I think, illustrates well the influence of our individual "wyrds" upon both the physical manifestation of our futures and the past progress of our souls. Both are so intricately entwined with one another that they create a pattern or rhythm that brings us experiences that not only illuminate and color future experiences but also to strengthen the physical understanding of past truths and our spiritual histories. This helps us to integrate both into one Self-Being having many experiences that are brought to us by the pattern which we project before us and then perceive as "luck". Whether the experiences are perceived as being positive or negative, we are still "lucky" to be given these lessons that will help evolve us. Of course I also believe that "luck" often falls somewhere between chance and providence, but always for our betterment. Reticulum is defined a network or systematic pattern.
