Holiday greetings!
Could the following ideas be the missing pieces of the puzzle to really unravel the mystery here and start to shed light on an unrevealed item connected to the revelation?
1. Andon and Fonta's names for themselves are given to us: "Sonta-en" and Sonta-an". We are told (Paper 93) that those meant "Loved by Father" and "Loved by Mother", respectively. Using trivial deduction, we can determine that "en" meant father and "an" meant mother, in their language.
2. The Germanic languages use the root word "ur" to mean ancestral, primal or original. It can also mean "out of" or "coming out from". This is particularly prevalent in Swedish, but I believe it pertains also to at least Danish, Norwegian and German. You might look up the word "ur-gammal" to check for yourself. It may well be that this word springs from the days of the formulation of the "Indo-European" manner of speaking and perhaps was present many thousands of years earlier, having been inherited from the days of either the Edenic civilization or the Dalamatian one.
3. As mentioned earlier, perhaps the term "tia" in place names means "Born of" or "Child of".
Using all 3 observations we arrive at the possible determination that "Urantia" means "Born of the original mother".
From our perspective, "original mother" most likely refers to Local Universe Mother Spirit, who is co-creator of the physical local universe alongside the Creator Son.
Several questions relating to the likelihood of this idea having merit might be:
1. Do any of the languages spoken by Eskimos, especially Inuit, have words that sound like "en and "an"? 2. Is there evidence of the word "ur" in the Sumerian language, or other ancient Mesopotamian languages, or the Tocharian languages? 3. Can the physical sound of our language vocalizations immediately be mapped into "vocalizations" of the languages of morontial beings? or even spiritual beings? Or is some sort of translation or mapping needed? (Translations or language mappings are probably subject to interpretational bias and error, or at least have aspects of uncertainty)
If this proposal does reflect reality, then evidently some sort of synchronicity must have existed between Andon and Fonta's choice of words and either the authorities who named our planet or the revelators who may have exercised some level of interpretational freedom. Synchronicity is a marvelous concept that nudges the mind to consider the import of the appearance of Majeston and certain types of divine providence provisions that are described in Papers 56, 65, 106 and 118, for example.
The authors of the papers, being authorized revelators, may well have extraordinary perceptional abilities and be able to employ some aspects of the "reflectivity" mechanisms that they start to tell us about.
Much to chew on...
