ARGEO (ἀργέω)

One of the cruelest crimes of the modern civilization is its intent to make us believe that virtually every single word in any language was borrowed from the Greek.

We already showed you it was not true. But the example we have today is the brightest.

Here you can see a Greek word ἀργέω [argeo]:

The meaning of this word 'argeo' is 'to be unemployed', 'to do nothing'.

But isn't the AR-prefix exactly the Kartvelian negative prefix? Sure it is, every Kartvelian knows it.

So, AR+GEO=NOT WORKING? But Greek language doesn't have any AR-prefix. Only Kartvelian does.

Is it a Kartvelian word?

Will we find in Kartvelian language anything similar to 'geo' in the meaning of 'working'?

WE WILL AND WE HAVE!

The Rayfield dictionary shows us the word გება [geba] in the meaning of 'building' or 'making'. That is exactly where the 'geo'-part in the Greek word came from.

So, the 'Greek' word 'argeo' in fact is not Greek but Kartvelian.

What does it mean?

First, and most important, it means that Kartvelian language is older than ANCIENT Greek! Because on the same link you will see that the word 'argeo' is attested in Doric Greek, which is a dialect of Ancient Greek.

Second, and as exciting, is that the etymology of GEORGI as 'land-worker' may be false. No one ever looked at it from 'argeo' point of view. So, the word may mean something very different.

Third, the word 'argos' (not working) is now truly Kartvelian too, which opens us an ocean of possible interpretations of all the available ARG-roots (from Argo to Argentina).
