"Etymology"
In GOD IF YOU ARE A DOG.....
http://aparhanti.sync.hu/index.php
The word God continues Old English god (guþ, gudis in Gothic, gud in modern Scandinavian and Gott in modern German), from Proto-Germanic *ǥuđan. The original meaning and etymology of the Germanic word god has been hotly disputed, though most agree to a reconstructed Proto-Indo-European form *khutóm, which is the neuter passive perfect participle of the root *khu-, which likely meant "libation", "sacrifice". The origin of the word God also comes from the Persian Language in the form of khoda or khuda, which was then used by other Indo-European and Hebrew tribes in the form of gudda.(see [1]) Compare:
* Tamil Kadavul = "god".
* Persian khoda, khuda = "god".
* Vedic Sanskrit hu- = "to sacrifice," "to invoke the gods".
* Greek khu-, kheu- = "to pour".
* Punjabi- Waheguru (see Mool Mantar)
* Common Germanic strong verb *geutan (Anglo-Saxon gēotan) = "to pour", English in-got.
The connection between these meanings is likely via the meaning "pour a libation." Another possible meaning of *khutóm is "invocation," related to Sanskrit hūta.
The same root appears in the names of three related Germanic tribes, the Geats, the Goths and the Gutar. These names may be derived from an eponymous chieftain Gaut who was subsequently deified. He also sometimes appears in early Medieval sagas as a name of Odin or one of his descendants, a former king of the Geats (Gaut(i)), an ancestor of the Gutar (Guti), of the Goths (Gothus) and of the royal line of Wessex (Geats) and as a previous hero of the Goths (Gapt). The Lombardic form of Odin, Godan, may derive from cognate Proto-Germanic *ǥuđánaz.
The word God was used to represent Greek Theos, Latin Deus in Bible translations, first in the Gothic translation of the New Testament by Ulfilas. For the etymology of deus, see *dyeus. Greek theos is probably unrelated, and of uncertain origin. De Saussure tentatively connected Baltic and Germanic words for "spook," ultimately cognate with Latin fumus "smoke." See El (god) and YHWH for discussions of the Hebrew names for God.
[edit]
"The meaning of God not GŐD"
God
denotes
a deity who
is believed by
monotheists to be
the sole creator and
ruler of the universe.
Conceptions of
God can vary
widely,
despite
the use of
the same term
for them all.
The God of monotheism,
pantheism or panentheism,
or the supreme deity of henotheistic
religions, may be conceived of in various
degrees of abstraction: as a powerful, human-like,
supernatural being, or as the deification of an esoteric,
mystical or philosophical category, the Ultimate, the summum bonum,
the Absolute Infinite, the Transcendent, or Existence or Being itself
, the ground of being, the monistic substrate, etc. The more
abstract of these positions regard any anthropomorphic
mythology and iconography associated with God
either sympathetically as mere symbolism,
or unfavourably as blasphemous.
Theologians
and
philosophers
have studied countless conceptions of God
since the dawn of civilization.
The question of the existence of God
classically falls under the branch of
philosophy known as metaphysics,
but is also one of the key discussions
taking place within the field of
the philosophy of religion.
