Names or words

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I started something over in this thread: <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.heruraha.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4997">viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4997</a><!-- l -->
I've been for my daily walk, and my brain is working good-er; so I won't have the dumb as worse.
I ended over there with a question about names. Now, I don't think I want to get bound up in the nature of anything, since that's exactly what I know I need to be avoiding. However, I am very curious about the normal expectation when one has an event that gives them a very clear word, that they can't find a meaning for.
How exactly is someone without a lot of skill supposed to deal with that? I mean, I've tried the basics I know- I've looked at the word in Hebrew [Which based on the word I got, I'm pretty sure is not the correct answer], Hebrew as it was spelled in English caps, but not Greek [I know nothing about that.]. I've math'd it a bit, and only came to 272 or 274, if I keep the vowels as Alephs [Though, I have not had the chance to sit down with a book on numbers to figure it out. I don't even think I have one that meets that quality].
Should the word "AMERELE,' be familiar? When I started digging to find the word did I miss something?
I guess the meat of this is, "What ways can a word that I have no knowledge of how it was constructed be studied?" Even if we don't want to muck around with the stuff I mentioned, I think I might be willing to read the crap out of it; if at least because it would be something I don't think I've ever seen written about in plain language.
Thanks for putting up with this
Love is the Law, Love under Will.

I play a lot with children, and in my play I make things. I play with clay, and lego blocks and dolls and garbage (ok not true trash, but recyclables). As I play with children I am constantly being asked
"what is that???"
Children always think that I am creating something specific and that I ALLREADY know what it is. It seems to them that I know what I am doing, that as I place each brick, I have an end product in mind.
But most of the time, I have no clue what it is I am making until it is all done. Sometimes even when I am done, I have no clue.
I recall learning something from my father, as I was a little girl sitting on his lap, helping him build with his legos. When he was all done with this huge structure he had built, and I asked him what it was, he didnt even pause a moment as he pulled out of thin air, the words "Its a GABAJNEY with a Chickencoop!"
He completely made that up, to please me, to satisfy me. It did, for in my world I knew that things had names, even made up things.
I like to play video game sometimes, and in some games you are given a item that you have to pick up and carry with you till you need it later on in the game. You have no clue why you need this feather, or stone, or vile of smoke or what ever the game master wrote into the program, but you faithfully know that you will need it later, so you just put it in your pocket till then.
There are things in this world that have not yet been named. I think part of our game is to be a player, a creator and to find out just what a gabajney with a chicken coop really is.
I have a lot of skill, and yet I too was given a word and name that I have no clue what I am to do with it, what it is supposed to "mean" to me, or to the outer world.....but I trust and have faith.
and patience:)

During the first world war a number of visual artist—other artists too, but I only know about the visual ones—served in the army of their respective countries, and survived pretty much intact. Problem was, they found themselves out of practice in making art, and were besides themselves with how to do that once again, now that the killing had ended.
Their discovery, and something I think we can all appreciate, is their rediscovery of play. No rules, just manipulation, just fun.
The point, I am pretty sure, is that you are making it all up as you go along. It takes a special brand of courage to do this. But if you go boldly, where no man (or woman) has gone before, you may find that you have made up some portion of the truth.
Give yourself permission to play!
Veronica, I salute you...
