Ir

The letter “i” reflects “movement” the letter “r” represents “reaching” they combine to make the Sanskrit “ir” meaning “to cause to rise” “to raise” “to move” “to elevate” “to set in motion”. This combines with the Sanskrit “ma” meaning “limit” “measure” and produces “irma” reflecting the “limit of ones movement” “the measure of ones motion” and defined in the Sanskrit dictionary as “arm” “forequarter”.

“Irma” meaning “arm” becomes the Avestan “arema” the Old Prussian “irmo” the Old Frisian “erm”, the Old English “earm”, the Proto Germanic “armaz” and eventually the word “arm” all of whose source is this Sanskrit “irma” meaning “arm”.

“Irma” also becomes the European word for “shoulder” which in the Slavic languages was originally “orme” and has now become “rame” meaning “shoulder” – Serbian – rame – Croatian – rame – Bulgarian – ramo – Slovenia – ramo – Polish – ramie – Slovak – romeno – Czech – romeno – Greek – omos – Latin – umerus – Romania – umar – Spanish – hombro – all meaning “shoulder” and all related to this Sanskrit “irma” meaning “arm”.

Many words enter the European word pool from this “arm” whose source is this Sanskrit “irma” – re-arm – firearm – strong arm – side arm – armchair – armpit – armilla – armada – armed – armadillo – armament – army – harmony – armor – armlet – armless – forearm – disarm – gendarme – underarm – unarmed – armistice – alarm – humerus – all related to this Sanskrit “irma” which is the source of the European word “arm”.

“The Latin root of ‘art’, which is Ar, stems from an ancient Indo European language. Thus, the Sanskrit ‘irma’, meaning ‘forequarter’ is the root of the Greek ‘appos’, meaning ‘harmony’, as well as the Latin ‘artis’; all meant ‘joint’. Analogous contemporary English words include ‘arm’, ‘artery’, ‘article’ and ‘artisan’. They all share the same sense of joining things together” – Dr. Howard Esbin.
