O.O. Suleimenov: ÖSIRIS - the Name of Ancient Egyptian God and the Kazakh Word ӨСІРІС (ÖSIRIS) - Growth: the Word in the Space of Time and Territory

The study deals with the origin of the word OSIRIS (the name of the God of agriculture, fertility, horticulture, and farming in Ancient Egypt) from the Kazakh (ancient Kazakh) word ӨСІРІС, proposed by O.O. Suleimenov in a hypothetical scientific concept called the Law of Osiris or the Theory of Osiris. O.O. Suleimenov substantiates his scientific position by demonstrating Kazakh words formed from the root ӨС (ÖS) - to grow, and its derivatives - ӨСІР (ÖSIR) - to cultivate, ӨСІРІС (ÖSIRIS) - cultivation, which does not agree with the established traditional scientific position of Egyptologists, according to which OSIRIS is Greek, and in Egyptian WSIR, which can be read as USIR. The proposed scientific concept can be indirectly supported by such aspects as: 1) the acoustic (pronunciation) uniformity of these words; 2) the same (agglutinative) word formation in Kazakh and ancient Egyptian languages with the absence of prefixes (with rare exceptions); 3) the proximity of eras (the 3rd and 4th millennia coincide with the time of ÖSIRIS and the Sumerian-Turkic languages, which functioned at that time with synharmonic sound. This could hypothetically allow for their interaction) and others. The root of the ancient Egyptian word consisted of one, two, or three consonants, i.e., it was consonantal, with no vowels in its spelling. The vocalization of the consonantal combination in the root of the word was apparently optional. The root of the Kazakh word consists of a combination of sounds with the obligatory participation of a vowel. In the word ӨСІРІС (ÖSIRIS), the root of the word is ӨС (vowel + consonant), which does not fully correspond to the acoustic structure of the root of the ancient Egyptian word, in which, as Egyptologists note, in 90% of cases the root consists of a three-member consonant combination. Is the acoustic uniformity of the word ӨСІРІС (ÖSIRIS) in Kazakh and Egyptian a coincidence, or is there pattern behind it that needs to be researched, described and discovered? O.O. Suleimenov proposed to consider the object and subject of scientific research in a new light, which causes disagreement among representatives of the traditional (official) scientific concept, but at the same time generates hypothetical interest in conducting investigation among another group of researchers with the aim of determining the etymon (original source) of a linguistic unit. In the course of scientific research, methods of interlingual comparison, intralingual comparison, contrast of minimal pairs, inductive and deductive methods were used, which contributed to the determination of the theoretical and practical significance of the scientific problem under study.
