derivated from it: enyv (glue), enyeleg (wanton), enyész (slip away), enyhe (mild); íny (palate), any anya
(mother). We can see that all these express glutinosity, stretchness.
Consequences
From the above we can conclude that all roots, which contain Ny, express some kind of glutinosity,
stretch or are sound imitators (but which are correlated to glutinosity, stretchness of Ny).
We could examine the same phenomenon in case of the other roots, using other phonemes. The
extension of this essay is not enough to examine all.
In the graphs of other roots we may get similar results to the above, they are very robust, solid
agglomerations in meaning and in form.
The three-phoneme root graphs prove that roots are closely tied according to their constituting
phonemes.
Connection chains, clusters
In the system of roots relationships extend beyond the closest relative (one further away), but again
and again longer connection chains or larger clusters emerge. We have to search not only the ties
between the roots with the same starting (or ending) phonemes, but the longer connection-chains,
clusters, too.
The first step in the research of the one-phoneme based graphs is to examine the relatives that are one
step away in wide range; they show to us the wideness of the relations and present the linchpin force of
one phoneme (and by the way we can use it to discover the meaning tendency of this phoneme).
The second step of research — after the analysis of the one-step-wide connections in the system of
roots — is concerned with the analysis of the longer connection chains, clusters in meaning and form.
These connection-chains, clusters cover more changing steps, but in narrower tunnel, they show us the
longer ties in extension. Let us see one example through the viewpoint of frame of the roots.
K and G are relatives, R and L and Ly, too: K – G and R – L – Ly
K_R based roots are: kör, ker, kor, kar, etc.
If we change K G we get:
G_R based roots are: gör, gur, gir, ger, etc.
If we change R L we get:
G_L based roots are: gal, gul, gol.
