ALFRÉD TÓTH : HUNGARIAN AND ESKIMO-ALEUT — with Paleo-Siberian Cognates<br />
Proto-Uralo-Siberian *saγ∂- “to come, to go”<br />
<strong>Eskimo</strong>-<strong>Aleut</strong> aγ∂- “to go over”, aγγiR- “to come”<br />
<strong>Aleut</strong> aγ- “to go by, to pass”<br />
Sumerian saĝgul (28x: ED IIIb, Ur III) wr. sag-kul; saĝ-gul “globe-lightning”.<br />
According to EWU (pp. 180s.), -uld is a suffix, but the Sum. form<br />
clearly shows that only –d- is a suffix, wile –ul belongs to the second<br />
syllable. The semantic connection between “to run” <strong>and</strong> “lightning” is<br />
given by the Hung. saying: “Megy, mint a villámlás = száguld, vágtat”<br />
(O. Nagy Gábor, Magyar szólások és közmondások. 8th ed. Budapest<br />
1999, p. 725, no. 495) that originates in Sum., as the following example<br />
proves: “The sixth beats at the flanks of the mountains like a battering<br />
flood. The seventh flashes like lightning, <strong>and</strong> no one can deflect its<br />
power” (Gilgameš <strong>and</strong> Huwawa [Version B]: c.1.8.1.5.1). This<br />
etymology is an incontestable proof for the genetical relationship<br />
between <strong>Hungarian</strong> und Sumerian.<br />
