Talk:Hod (Hebrew)

are the meanings "India" and "glory" related, or are they just unrelated homophones within Hebrew? dab (ᛏ) 09:32, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If they appear in the Hebrew (nothing is co-incidental in the classical Hebrew language), then they are most certainly connected in meaning and "related". The idea is perhaps one of "India" being a "glorious" land. Even in latter-day history, Benjamin Disraeli considered modern India to be "the jewel in the crown" of the British Empire under Queen Victoria. It is still a land of mystic beauty and wealth in many ways, and a great prize for any empire to obtain and/or rule. IZAK 09:51, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Well I'd heard that it's cognate to "Hindi" in English, whose root is probably Indo-European and would likely go back before Biblical Hebrew. So unless the Hebrew for "glory" came from "India" rather than vice-versa, which seems like a stretch, I'd think it more likely that they're seperate. Mo-Al (talk) 20:30, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why does this article redirect to the disambiguation page? It should give the meaning in hebrew... the redirect doesn't help at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zanbabe (talk • contribs) 13:13, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
