Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Il me fait reposer dans de verts pâturages, il me dirige près des eaux paisibles. il restaure mon âme, il me conduit dans les sentiers de la vie juste, à cause de son nom. Quand je marche dans la vallée de l'ombre de la mort, je ne crains aucun mal, car tu es avec moi : ta houlette et ton bâton me rassurent. Tu dresses devant moi une table, en face de mes adversaires; tu oins d'huile ma tête, et ma coupe déborde. Oui, le bonheur et la grâce m'accompagnent tous les jours de ma vie, et je reviendrai, j'habiterai dans la maison de l'Eternel jusqu'à la fin de mes jours.

So the genitive plural “astrorum”. A compound modifier is a compound of two or more attributive words: that is, two or more words that collectively modify a noun or nouns. Hittite: arkamijalaš shmauš siunesan asiuran hasteraš ishamaiz translation: the musician plays the song of the love of the gods for the stars If you speak or can read Italian or Portuguese, pronounce this astroku in Hittite as you would pronounce those languages, though the Portuguese bears a closer resemblance.

In what distant deeps or skies. Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare seize the fire? And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? & what dread feet? What the hammer? what the chain, In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp, Dare its deadly terrors clasp! When the stars threw down their spears And water'd heaven with their tears: Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee? Tyger Tyger burning bright, In the forests of the night: What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? William Blake

Not only that, the third person singular of the English verb “to be” is “is” and the German third person singular is “ist”! Astonishing eh? What this all means is that all of the aforementioned Latin and modern language verbs for “to be” are merely dialects of the original ancient Indo-European Hittite “es”! Hittite is the oldest Indo- European language dating from 3,500 BCE, i.e. 5,500 years ago! So there is nothing new under the sun! And what about the Hittite word for “heart” = kardiš. Sound familiar? You bet! French = “le coeur”, Italian = “cuore”, Corsican “core”, Spanish = “corazon”, Portuguese = “coração”. I needn't belabour the point. Once again, all of the aforementioned modern Romance language nouns for Hittite “ kardiš” are merely dialects of the original ancient Indo-European Hittite. Hittite is the oldest Indo-European language dating from 3,500 BCE, i.e. 5,500 years ago! So there is nothing new under the sun!
