Russia used to be Boatland. And Belorussia used to include the region near Smolensk, where three different river systems start - western branch of Volga, Daugava (Väina in estonian, meaning ’strait’ river because it leads to the Strait Sea / Väinameri) and Dnepr. Valg-vene-maa in estonian language literally means “a region of Boatland that is a start of waterheds/tributaries”. The direct translation to finnish is Valuama-vene-maa and in english it would be Flow-boat-land.

So how did the confusion with the valg / valge came about?
It is because in baltic-finnic languages the root valg- has three meanings: white, light and flow. It is especially evident in estonian language:
(in estonian) Valge valgus valgub alla oru põhja
(in finnish) Valkoinen valo valuu alas laakson pohjaan
(in english) white light flows down to the bottom of the valley

The Baltic Sea is actually Valgmeri / Flow Sea.
The White Sea is also Valgmeri / Flow Sea.
The river Volga is Valgjõgi / Flow river.
Lake Belo-ozero is Valgjärv / Flow lake.

Interestingly, there is both a river Valgjõgi and a lake Valgjärv in Estonia. And there is also the town of Valga / Valka.

All of that region was once populated by finno-ugric tribes.
Contemporary baltic tribes switched from finno-ugric to baltic dialects some 5000 years ago.
The russification of finno-ugric tribes in contemporary north-western Russia slowly started about 15 centuries ago.

There were two or three ice age refugia in Europe: the Ukrainian refugium was populated with people speaking dialects similar to finno-ugric, the Franco-Cantabrian was speaking basque dialects, the Balkan refugium might have spoken early indo-european (or not). The post-ice-age repopulation of Europe is a mix of those three sources. The later influx of people and genes from the Middle East had rather little impact on Europe as a whole - Balkans was heavily influenced while Balto-Scandia and Britain and north-western Russia were barely influenced.

The english word ‘flow’ actually originates from proto-european dialects that preceded indo-european dialects. Finno-ugric languages have retained it: valg / valguma (estonian), valu / valuama (finnish), flow / to flow (in english). The word ‘valu’ also designates ‘pain’ and ‘a cast’, so pain was perceived having a flowing or beaming nature - remember the third meaning of valg- as a light (valgus / valo).

In fact, many english words related to water (vesi / vee / vett in estonian, vesi / veden / vettä in finnish?) come from either finno-ugric dialects or ice-age proto-european dialects or nostratic dialects. So it would be wrong to consider those words being indo-european.

More examples (english - estonian):
bay - abajas (a cove)
mare (sea) - meri
ice - jää (in ice - jääs)
creek - jõgi / joki ?
lake - loik (a puddle)

road - rada (rata in finnish). Rada is short from “rajatud tee” or “raiutud tee”, meaning “a chopped trail” (through vegetation). Estonian and finnish languages also have another verb for that specific activity - raadama / raatama, which designates “chopping” (trees).

circle, sur-round, sphere - saar (island), saarro (besiege), sara (a round fence), sõõr, sõõrik (donut), säär (leg, shin, peninsula), pool-saar (peninsula, half-island / half-besieged in direct translation), säärik (a boot).

PLUS they are way too good in the hockey. So it is actually our common enemy :D

So Sweden and Russia have no doubt common Viking history. That is a fact. High posibility that given words in different languages support the common history.

The viking boats had sails, but mostly travelling in rivers (Neman ect. on the rivers fom Baltics to Contantinopol was made with rowing the boat.)

Rus there for mean land of rowing.

Baltic in Lithuanian language means white. Why word white is used is because in the region at winter time snows.

Bela means white and Rus means rowing.

Polotsk and Rutheinia had a lot of contanct with Vikings at viking time so it is not hard to figure out what is the origin of words.

Origin of words are even more proven since in Estonian laguage Russia is called “Venemaa” =Land of boat and Belarus is called Baltic->White->Valg-venemaa.

Oh yeah and Bela is white and rus is to row.

So am I correct or CORRECT :D

And I have “phentermine” blocked in my Wordpress, and this very typical looking spam passes nevertheless, and in Spam Karma 2 it has a very high positive ranking (like 900+), which I’ve never seen before. I guess that’s some spam bot that learned how to crack SK2. I’ve never seen this before on my blogs.

I also wonder if it is related to this entry, because several Finnish sites linked to it…
