Etymology

edit

Clearly this Wiktionary entry has left out a major use case by not considering the combination of the simple "false" of the Middle English "falshede" with the implications of adding "-hede". Let us consider what "hood" implies by examining its historical and biblical Hebrew context. Google Search for who wrote the book of Job [1] In the above google search we find in the first search return entry: "The language in Job is unlike any other found in the Bible, or outside it. True, the book is written in Hebrew, but it is very strange Hebrew indeed. It has more unique words than any other book of the Hebrew Bible." [2]

My contribution as a fourth entry was to define inclusively "-hede" or "-hood" into the case usage. I did not include the Hebrew word for "falsehood" Ok I did: [3] My citation out of the book of Isaiah is a transliteration of falsehood itself illustrating a complex, deceitful, and complicated quality. In the passage we find a falsehood being defined with twisted truths, false idols, a feast enabled by human sacrifice, and hearts blinded by the complex confuscation. The Carpenter verses illustrate how he uses his craft, the beauty of man, convolution of the truth, and in his actions he creates a falsehood. Unfortunately none of the other definitions capture the true nature of the word "falsehood" in this regard and the English language is less due to it. Please reconsider the quality of capturing the essence of this word so our language can be a little more like Shakespeare perhaps intended it to be, or not to be ;)

Dragon

edit

The only mention of "Dragon" in the bible is not of a false prophet or of how a false prophet speaks like a Dragon but if you insist on turning the false prophet into a "Dragon" and are willing to conspire against the truth then you might expect an experience quite like a burning sensation as you hear reality. Don't make a falsehood of the Dragon for I recall the Red Dragon as indifferent in the Book of Revelations he was just destroying because all about him was nothing other than evil. Much like in the book of Isaiah 44 something where God walks through the town "Behold... I see not God next to me..." and to see the Carpenter and Smith blinding people (imagine the trees and wood a metaphor for people) with their dogma of falsehood. The "-hede" absolutely plays a role in a true interpretation of falsehood. ;)

[4] "3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born." Rod: My refrain is not in English the language just wouldn't do but you can read to me anytime you want Lyden ;) Rodgaskins (talk) 03:49, 5 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
