> Neither the word or character for emperor has any relation to the sky by themselves
The wiktionary entry does mention such a hypothesis. My reasoning is rather inspired by parallel evidence in I do-European deus "god, sky father", dies "day", etc; and a similar parallel in Egyptian with Afro-Asiatic roots that I do not quite remember right now.
> and no reasonable person would think of the word emperor from seeing the word from gaze because they share a radical.
That's why I thought it needed to be pointed out.
By the way, I ment a rosetta stone linking speach to writing given an oral side channel; If it rhymes or makes a neat mnemonic then the side channel would be error tolerant; if not, I guess, tradition is either not error tolerant, or the speach becomes corrupted. The signs change, too, surely, but paper is patient.
I am shoehorning alright. Lyrical tradition is one of the corner stone of our culture. I can only hear you saying it's just words, and in effect, I'm not even opposed to that notion.
