The above-reproduced Venetic inscription (Pa 25) originated in Padova, and reading from right-to-left it spells TIVALEIBELLENEI. Scholars interpreted it as a funeral inscription. But they could not decipher it with accuracy. The well-known Venetologist, A. L. Prosdocimi from Venetia (Italy), explains it in an unconvincing way as »il nome di uno straniero«, i.e., the name of a stranger (cf.I Veneti antichi, Padova 1988, p. 291). On the other hand, the Slovenian Venetologist, Matej Bor, explains the inscription with help of the Slovenian language as: Ti valej be llenej, spelling: Ti - you, valej (pron valey), today: veljak - a man of mark, be (aorist) - was, llenej (pron. lyney) - gentel. Thus: You, a man of mark, were gentle.
However, I think that Matej Bor was wrong in this case. It is true, on hand of the Slovenian language (and other Slav words), descendants of the ancient Venetic language, numerous Venetic inscriptions can be explained. But in the above inscription the word Bellenei, which remembers god Belin (Belen), has been clearly pointed out. In my opinion, this way of spelling would explain its meaning: TI VALLEJ BELLENEJ (pron. ti valey belleney). Anyway, the meaning of these words in Slovenian language, and especially because they talk about a funeral inscription, should be interpreted as follows: ti (you), valej (today: veljaj, imperative of to be worth, destined), Bellenej (dative: to Belene, i.e., to Belin). Thus, one wished for the defunct: You, belong to Belen. - Still today, the Slovenian dialect of the Vipava Valley has the ending - ej (-ei) for the dative singular case, in particular for the declination of feminine and neutrum nouns. Further on, I think, in the above inscription »god« was rather visualized in a more vast imagination, i.e., as a deity (boanstvo, in today's Slovenian). And again, if the name of god Veles (Eastern Slav pantheon) shows a reflexive betatism (b > v), then the probability exists, that this god has to be identified with Belen, Belin (Veles - Beles, or Belec »white«)? - (cf. article: God Belin and Echo, letter dated August 7, 2004 "In consideration of..." http://www.carantha.net/slovenian_my...ajeslovje_.htm |
Pėr Belenin: Citim:
(Celtic: possibly, Bright One), one of the most ancient and most widely worshipped of the pagan Celtic deities; he was associated with pastoralism. A great fire festival, called Beltane (or Beltine), was held on May 1 and was probably originally connected with his cult. On that day the cattle were purified and protected by fire before being put out to the open pastures for the summer. Despite associations of his name with fire or the sun, Belenus was not a sun god; in fact, there is no Celtic evidence for the worship of the sun as such, even though it was often used in religious imagery.
There are about 31 extant dedications to Belenus, an unusually high number for a religion that specialized in the number and diversity of its divine names and epithets. The cult of Belenus was practiced in northern Italy, Noricum in the eastern Alps, southern Gaul, and probably Britain.
