Starting any business with just one idea is always difficult. We need an example to guide us, using it as a model. Find a temporary crutch while learning to walk. And that's okay. Moscow was not built right away, and you cannot jump to the tenth floor in one fell swoop. Step by step, flight by flight.

It is logical to assume that since the words "were invented" by our ancestors, then you need to dig as deeply as possible, as far as you can. Over the past two hundred years, our language has changed beyond recognition. The grammar has changed, the rules have changed, the spelling of words and the style of letters has changed, even the number of letters has changed, and, most importantly, the names of the letters have irrevocably disappeared. These processes took place earlier, but it was in the period from the beginning of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century that our language was overhauled to the "European standard". And therefore, it is worth expressing gratitude to our Church from the bottom of my heart for preserving the traditions of our ancestors, who created a truly great and mighty language, which continues to remain so even in its modern reduced state. In this topic, we will not delve into what exactly, when and why changed, it does not matter now, this is all later. At the moment, it is important that the Church has brought to us the basics of grammar and the meaning of letters, and this can be used.

Let's look at the church letter and carry out a superficial analysis for our goals.

1. The first thing that catches your eye is the number of letters, in comparison with the modern Russian language, there are one and a half times more of them.
2. Secondly, the letters after the "T" either have no names, or they are incomprehensible. All the more interesting.
3. Some letters have a different style.

Everything? Everything that interests us at the moment. Now let's try to decipher a word using these meanings. Let's take something simple and straightforward, such as a table.

« WITH" - "Word". It's a good start, although if you think about it, all words are words, but not all words have the letter "C".

« T"-" Firmly. " The table is solid, it's true. But then again, we have a bunch of words for solid objects, but not all have the letter "T". Developing a thought, there are a bunch of objects with the letter "T" that are not solid.

« O" - "He". Hmm … An indication of the masculine gender? Let's admit.

« L" - "People". The table was created by people. It fits perfectly.

Total. "Table" - the Word, Solid, He, People. It seems to me, or is somehow not very visible behind all this, in fact, the table. Either we do not understand what a "table" is, or our ancestors did not understand what a "table" is, or all the same these meanings do not fit, although they indirectly hint. There is another option that our ancestors understood by the word "table" not what we mean by "table" now. But it is necessary to scratch the dictionaries, and this assumption will disappear by itself. The table is a table.

Consider one more word, and then another and another. Maybe the table wasn't the best example. Indeed, if words can be deciphered using the meanings of the church letter, even approximately, why should we suffer and invent some new system, if everything was invented before us.

Let's take the word "Snow". "Word", "Our", "Yes", "Verb". Anything but snow.

"Leg". "Our", "He", "Verb", "Az". Again, a couple of letters fit well, one indirectly, it is not clear what is doing here. And the leg is feminine, why "He"?

"Scrap". "People", "He", "Myslete". Well, it's enough. Let's think rationally, it is unlikely that our ancestors, the people whose achievements we still use, were fools and did not understand the meaning of the elementary words that they themselves invented. We can hardly be called fools, since we continue to develop their achievements. This means that there are two options: either the drop cap values are incorrect, or our assumption is incorrect. To consider ourselves smarter than the Church is, of course, blasphemy, but since we have already been given several days, we should at least try to prove it.

Thanks to a little analysis, we got that the church meanings of some letters partially fit, partially refute, partially incomprehensible at all. Then let's agree to keep the plate close at hand and use these meanings not as basic ones, but as crutches when we are not sure of the meaning of the letter. In the meantime, we are cheerful and full of strength and desires, we will get down to business on our own.

Let's remember the "university", where each letter determined the meaning of the word and supplemented the overall picture with its own meaning. Agree, all three letters reveal the meaning of the whole word in the best possible way. There will not be at least one, the word will lose some of its functions, and will no longer be what it is. Without the letter "B" it will be just an educational institution. Without "U" - a higher institution, and already there are problems with understanding what it is. And if you remove the "Z", the word generally loses any practical meaning. What if we did the opposite? That is, to analyze any word from all sides: to find out its meaning, functions, use cases, and in general everything that can be associated with this word. And then each of these characteristics will become a candidate for the meaning of one of the letters of which this word is composed. And as soon as candidates are found, we will check these values in other words. Isn't it logical?

Okay, now let's think about it and decide which words to start with, that is, which words to use early on in our research.

1. Minimum letters … The simplest thing that comes to mind. The fewer letters there are in a word, the easier it is to work with it, the easier it is to decipher it. And secondly, the fewer letters in a word, the more likely it is that the meaning of this word has not changed over time.
2. The meaning of the word must be specific and understandable. If we do not know what exactly the object is, we will not have clues from which we could build on when decoding. That is, at this stage, we will exclude all incomprehensible, abstract, sacred words, proper names, as well as the names of animals, birds, plants and other living creatures, for some unknown reason they received their name. For example, how do you determine the meaning of the letters "c" and "n" in the word "blue"? How can you explain that it is blue without pointing your finger at something blue? Words like “field”, “sun”, “will” are also excluded due to their misunderstanding. How do we now know what our ancestors meant by "sun" when they called it that?
3. Nouns.
4. The modern spelling of the word must match at least the key letters with the spelling of at least the middle of the 19th century. For the time being, it is probably too early for us to set such a condition, but it would be better not to ignore the traditions that have developed over the centuries in order to avoid possible confusion in the future. Roughly speaking, we will not go into the maelstrom with our heads, we will tread slowly, but purposefully, pondering each new step. Of course, there will be mistakes, and you will have to make big rollbacks in your work, crossing out dozens of sheets due to slight negligence, but we see this possible discrepancy right now, so why ignore the obvious.

Items of daily use or strictly defined purpose are ideal for such requirements. That is, these are things that are clearly intended to perform specific functions. For example, a table. So, let's begin.

What is a table as an object? What are its functions and purpose? What does it consist of?

A table is an object that usually has a horizontal surface, usually standing on certain supports. It is designed for placing objects, doing any kind of work, eating, playing, drawing, teaching and other activities. This is from wikipedia, almost verbatim. Well, it quite defines the concept of a table. What else? The table can be different. It can stand on three legs, on four legs, on 134 legs, maybe without any legs at all. Oak, birch, pine, Ikea, Italy. It can be in the living room, in the bedroom, in the kitchen, in the yard, on your knees, wherever you can build a relatively flat surface horizontally. It can be oval, round, triangular, diamond, red, yellow, with a hole in the tablecloth. What a huge variety for one subject that we constantly use, isn't it ?!

What general conclusion can be drawn from this? First, an object consists of at least two parts: a surface and a "holder" of this surface. Secondly, the main function of an item is to create a place for items or some kind of activity. Thirdly, the subject has many options for its own "existence". Well, we have three candidates for four roles. Let's try to name and distribute them.

1. What does it mean that the subject consists of several parts?

This means that the table is a table as long as it consists of parts that are connected to each other, connected into something whole. Connected to the table. Fine. Is it possible to say that the process of connection is global, and the word "connection" is inclusive, but specific? Certainly! Indeed, in the world, something is constantly connecting with something, and something new is formed from these compounds. This is one of the foundations of our world. So, they decided, "Connection" is a global process of the universe. It starts with the letter "C", already something. Let's look at the letter "C" itself and pull a little by the ears. The two curls on the right seem to be drawn towards each other, trying to connect. Seems not bad. First, let the letter "C" mean "Connection".

2. The main function of the table is to create a place for placing objects or for performing any activity

What is important here: the creation of a place of accommodation or an activity associated with this place? Let's abstract from the table and think about which of these two processes fits our magnificent three: global, inclusive, concrete? Activity or place. The correct answer is both. That is, it turns out that we were unable to separate one function of the table from another and almost put two meanings in one letter. However, there is one small "but". Could there be an activity on the table without a place for that activity? It even sounds idiotic, how can you do something on the table if there is no table? Is it possible to create a place and do nothing in this place? Quite, the table can be empty, it will not stop being a table because of this. Is it logical? Reread and answer this question honestly.

Okay. This means that we have one more meaning - "Place". It turned out to be "M". Something is wrong, there is no letter "M" in the word "table". But wait, a table is not just a place. A table is a place to place objects, a place where objects lie. Let's think a little more globally, well, that is, like children. This is the place where objects are placed and there for a while. For some time they are stored there, in this place where they were placed. Then the table is a kind of storage of things, even if it is temporary, but storage. Now the letter "X". Again, not that.

Okay. And then let's joke about the synonyms of these two definitions, there, it seems to me, there is an option for a letter that suits us. How can you call a place for storing something in one word: container, cache, box, chest, chest, shelf, warehouse. Okay, we have two words for "T" and "L". Which one? Most likely, "chest". The cache, first of all, is a storehouse of secrets, and what these secrets are is the tenth thing. There are usually no secrets on the table either; after all, you cannot hide much on an open surface. Then let us first put "L" - chest, container. But here it is more complicated, we know for sure what the meaning of "container" is, but we only assume that this is the meaning of the letter "L".

3. The subject can be varied and have a different look depending on the specific functions assigned to it or the mood of the creator. Let's think about what it gives us. The object retains its functions regardless of its own form. Interesting, right? What could it be? Such a global, comprehensive and specific, and at the same time, it is desirable to begin with one of the remaining letters of the word "table". The answer is both simple and difficult to understand. This is the "Image". When an object does not have a specific form, it can be presented in different ways, it can be made in different ways, but due to its certain parameters, it will perform its function in the same way, regardless of its own form. What function do we have at the table - to hold objects? So, the "image" just indicates that, no matter how the object looks, whatever it is, if it received the name "table", it will contain objects, it will be a "container image" … And therefore he is a "table" with the letter "O". The concept of "image" is more complicated than the concept of "container" and much more complicated than the concept of "connection". The first two can be felt, seen and imagined. "Image" is a pure concept, an abstraction necessary for understanding the process.

So, we got three preliminary values for three letters: "S", "L", "O". For completeness, the letter "T" is missing. What do we have at the moment and what is missing? The table consists of parts, it is an image of the container. It seems as if it is even enough, the table accommodates, is diverse and consists of something. However, from the “table” the letter “T” stubbornly looks at us, what is it doing here, and where did it come from? For what purpose did our wise ancestors put it here? After much thought, nothing comes to mind, you need a hint or a crutch. Let's see what the Church has to say about the letter "T". In the initial letter "T" the meaning is "Firm", "Firm". Well, you can take this into service, at least for the first time. While we have sawdust in our heads.

In total, we got:

« Table". "C" - connection. Yes, it is quite. "L" - Holds? Yes, that's why it exists. "T" - let's say that it is solid, because the table is solid. So be it. "O" - "image". Table: "the connection is solid, the image of the container." Nothing like that, right?

Now let us leave the microcosm of the “table” and try to substitute these meanings in other words denoting objects of daily use, in which at least 2 of these 4 letters are also present.

"Chair". Yes, we do not know the meaning of the letter "y". But this is not what we need. Remember "university", we can disclose the abbreviation and not completely, the main thing is that what we deciphered is suitable. So. "Chair" is also a connection from different parts: back, seat, legs. Solid? As a rule, yes. Accommodates? Of course, that's what it was created for. Total: "S" came up, "L" came up. "T" half by half. That is, "T" did not fit, but you can continue to use the church meaning as a crutch. One has only to postpone in memory that the meaning of the letter "T", although not "hardness", has a certain connection with this "hardness".

"Bridge" … Solid? More than. Compound? To the point it was created for. Connection image? Yes, bridges are different, but they all connect. All three letters came up and, moreover, revealed the main function of the object.

"Bone" … Connects? Exactly. Solid? Again to the point. Image? Bones are different, but they are all hard and connect. And here the bull's-eye.

"Mustache" … How to explain to a small child how the mustache is on the face and does not fall off? That's right, these hairs are connected to the body. By the way, the "hair" itself also includes the letter "C" for the same reason.

"Mouth" … Connecting? Yes. Solid? No, not hard, lips are always soft, only bones and intentions can be hard in a person. Here the letter "T" no longer has any connection with "hardness" and is not even suitable as a crutch. But "C" again reveals the main function.

"Cross" … Compound? Yes, two sticks are connected. Solid? As a rule, yes, half and half again.

"Body" … Solid? Half and half. There are solid bodies, but there are also liquid and gaseous bodies. And plasma, yes, exactly. Does it contain anything? More than even if gaseous. Image? Yes, as already mentioned, bodies are different, but they all contain something.

For a preliminary analysis, these examples are enough to show that the idea, at least, has the right to exist.
