I TEEKTVL TAL TEEKT TENAVS

WORDLIST

All non-English language items are in italics. Al teekt tenaus (“our language”) penultimate stress is usual; exceptions are indicated. The non- Al teekt h is given after the Al teekt c [CH in ‘check’] and sc [SH in ‘show’] for sake of clarity. Written Al teekt tenaus makes no distinction between upper-lower case letters, nor between U and V, hence surviving Latin words containing V will retain the ancient W sound (e.g. avei, via, vades). Some sound samples are given; [-rr-] indicates trilled form. No distinction is made of Latin case or tense forms. No attempt has been made to be comprehensive.

Abbreviations of structure categories: (n) noun, (det) determiner, (md) modifier (adjective or adverb, single word or phrase; includes personal possessive modifiers), (pn) pronoun, (v) verb intransitive, (vt) verb transitive, (prp) prepositions, (cj) conjunctions (link words, particles).

Other: L Latin; LL Late Latin; ML Middle Latin; VL Vulgar (colloquial) Latin; Gk Greek; OF Old French; q.v. “which see”; cf “compare”; eg. “example”.

Knights Templar – one of the three greatest military orders (with the Hospitallers and Teutonic Knights) of 12^th century Earth, the Militis Templi, Knights of the Temple, Knights Templar, or Poor Knights established at Jerusalem, 1119, as soldiers of the Roman Catholic Church, after occupying the “temple of Solomon” . Eventually Templars ranged from Scotland to Iberia to Hungary, and the Outremer (q.v.), and became the earliest bankers of Europe. Their emblems were the crimson (bloody) cross, two riders on a horse, and a three-faced idol, Baphomet [baw-foh-MET], the “Goat of Mendes”, said to be a human-like entity with the breasts of a woman, genitals of a man and head of a goat, but more likely a corruption of Islamic “Mohammed”. Templars, noted for chivalry, nevertheless provoked the saying “he drinks like a Templar.” Eventually church authorities plotted against the Templars, who were officially disbanded them 22 March, 1312, their lands and wealth confiscated, and their Grand Master and 51 others burned at the stake (on a Friday the 13^th). Remnants survived as the Portuguese Knights of Christ and the Aragónese Order of Montesa. Despite secret tunnels and underground caverns (San Bartolomy church, northern Spain) and 19 French galleons of Templar treasure missing at sea en route to Spain, the Latin graffito, Hic oro facta, “here gold was made”, is all that remains of Templar gold or other treasure. Remnant icons: triumphal arch showing horse and knight, icon splinter from Christ’s cross, and (San Bartolomy) stone image (top of skull missing) with circle markings, and a window rosette showing five heart-shaped leaves. In 1983, UNESCO classified the Castelo Templário and Convento da Ordem de Cristo de Tomar (the Templar Castle and the Convent of the Knights of Christ) in Tomar, Portugal, as a world heritage site.
