Meaning Illuminate Chain

“‘Meaning’ shines through words — that’s what meaning is — and appears 6,000 years later in English as ‘illuminate.’ That Meh1 in ‘Metis’ is from the same root. And the ‘man’ sound in ‘Human’ (I believe) was originally based on the moon metaphor (allu shines through the moon, like our minds shine through our bodies).”
