Aphrodite-Afrodita-Aferdita

This is the name of the God of love, human fertility and sexual approach. Her symbol was Afrodite planet or the Morning Star. In mythology, this is the name of the goddess of love and mother of Eros.


Greek propaganda in their efforts to explain this name under Greek language(according them a distinct branch of IE) give this explanation:
APHRODITE (Άφροδίτη): Greek name composed of the elements afros "foam" and dity "dive; rise," hence "risen from the foam."

Its true that Aphros has the meaning foam, but in the Acient Greek there is no such word(as in Modern one δύτης) for the verb rise, or dive, or diver.


But this is not the real problem. The real problem consists that who knows Albanian understands that Afrodite=afroj+dite=day approching=morning star(which shows that the day is near=aferdita)





This Deity's name has been used to show a sexual intercourse or approach.



The word syn is another Albanian word which derives from the verb hyn=enters, unite, join.

Even the """"Roman"""" word Venus is the romanised Albanian word vjen(dita)= the day is coming

Latin Venus (Venus in Classical Latin is pronounced "wenus") continues the PIE root *wen- meaning desire. This root is quite commonly found in most IE languages.

Aphroditē is of Phoenician origin. Phoenician is a Semitic language close to Hebrew. The foam connection to Greek aphros seems to be a folk etymology.

This is a secondary meaning which again comes from the ancient Albanian word vjen.

Aphrodite is a Pelasgic God, the correspondand semitic God has been called JUNONA and/or Ishtar/Astarte.

They make a connection betwen some Hesiod accounts about Aphrodite's birth in mythology but like you said there is no ground at all to confirm their version. You are absolutely right.

I want to remind you that the great King Cadmos of Phoenician origin was the forefather of the Illyrians, and since we are taking for granted that the Illyrians are the ancestors of the Albanians we easily can draw a connection betwen those two cultures and languages.

My personal view is that Indo-European is a sister language to Semitic. As well, Indo-Europeans have borrowed a lot from the Semites as they were probable neighbors early on.

krejt panevojë është shkrua gjoja shqip - Afërdita, kur duhej të ishte krejt origjinal AFRODITA, APHRODITE, DITA AFRON, AFRON DITA = AFRODITA edhe nuk kishte nevojë të merret gjoja si veçim nga grekët, kur ajo është krejt fjalë shqipe,por që u ndryshua keq e me fanatizëm pakuptim.


Poashtu edhe me emrin Athina, vepruan asisojit - a thinë, është e thinë, e thinme, me thinja - kur ajo ishte ATHENNE, ATHENA, ETHANNA, E THANMJA, ajo të thotë, ku sot kemi emrin botanik shqip - THANA, pemë e egër, që kur foshnjet vonojnë të flasin, e lënë djepin me foshnje, apo foshnjen nën një thanë dhe bëjnë lutje, misticizëm, që foshnja ''të fillojë të flasi 't'i çlirohet të folurit, t'i çlirohet goja''. Këtu shihet fakti se Athenna, Ethanna, ishte perëndia e të folurit...

I totaly believe that your language, explains much better the origin of Aphrodite. Αφροδίτη is written with "ι", while δύτης with "υ", that means that the two words have different origins. Your language ancient as it is, explains more efficienly other Gods ' names aswell. Like Δήμητρα, Demetra,Διας, Poseidon, Athena(Etnana).
From the little I've read I tend to believe that there never excisted an Indo-European language or race, that your language comes straight from Pelasgians (see wiki) therefor is older than greek and also that's why many greek words have their roots in your language. By the way I'm Greek but "arvanitissa", and I'm more interested in the truth more than what suits me, or at least I'm trying...

Thank you seastone. Myself also is interested in the truth, and not damaging the image of other nation or people. We have transferes our discussion, to another forum :www.arberiaonline.com, and very rarely frequent this forum. I invite you to that forum, we want to know more about arvanites now, and what is their perspective inside Greek society.
