- واژهنامه · French & English to Persian Epistemological Dictionary navel|omphalos Etymology: From the Greek omphalos "navel." The Greeks believed that the Omphalos in the temple of Apollo at Delphi marked the exact centerpoint of the earth: its navel. The original root was probably *nobh- for, since [bh] became [v] in Germanic languages, that would explain English "navel." However, with metathesis ([n] and [o] switching places), the effect for Latin would be the umb- of "umbilicus," since before [bh] the [n] would become [m] (as in "ensure" but "embitter," "include" but "imbed"). "Oomph?" The sound emitted when someone hits you in the omphalos but etymologically no more related here than "naval jelly," the shipyard rust remover. (Hello and thanks go out today to Melanie Nutbeam, a native Kiwi now living in Hong Kong—itself an omphalos of high finance and fine dining.) nâf (PIE nôbh- http://us.share.geocities.com/agimzeneli/etymology2.html)
