Numa and Numitor (Rome)

In Ancient Rome, Numitor is Romulus and Remus’s mythological grandfather, while Numa is Romulus’s successor as king. Both carry the M-N sound in reversed (N-M) form — demonstrating the reversal principle within Rome’s founding mythology.

The Roman manifestation demonstrates the M-N ↔ N-M reversal: Numa and Numitor reverse the sound while maintaining the founding-monarch function. Numenism was Ancient Rome’s first religion. The Manes (souls of the dead) carry the M-N sound into Roman afterlife beliefs. Puhvel reconstructed Remus as originally *Iemos (= Vedic Yama) — the sacrificed twin.
