37. No, the pun of "son" and "sun" works only in Germanic languages |
|
and really well only in English
The first word in each case is "son," while the second one is "sun."
German: Sohn, Sonne Norwegian: sønn, sol Dutch: zoon, zon Russian: syn, solntse
Latin: filius, sol
Ancient Greek: pais, helios
Hebrew: ben, shemesh
If you think that linguistic evidence supports the notion of "the Son of God" comes from "Sun" worship, then you've seen that Star Trek episode too many times. :-)
