Glory, A Journey Through Indo-European Languages

Did you know what the Proto-Indo-Europeans called "to observe"?

Among the vocabulary of the ancient Proto-Indo-European language, there was a root in the form of *skeu-, meaning "to observe" or "to pay attention".

Do you know what words have been derived from this root? This long journey shows how the Proto-Indo-European word "*skeu-" is still alive today. It's fascinating to see how this simple concept has evolved over thousands of years and across different cultures into complex concepts such as:

1. "Glory" (Persian: شکوه / shokooh)
2. "Beauty" (German: schön)
3. "Insight" (Sanskrit: कवि / kavi)
4. "Spiritual leadership" (Avestan: kavi)
5. "Show" (English)

This long journey shows how the Proto-Indo-European Word "skeu-," is alive yet. This evolution demonstrates the rich and interconnected nature of language development, showing how a single root can branch out into diverse meanings while still retaining a connection to its original sense of "observing" or "seeing".
