Even when used in 19th century as a symbol of German-Aryan tradition, the swastika glyph was probably not intended to be completely benign, however. 19th century german intellectuals and scholars (Schopenhauer, for one....and there are hints in Hegel's writing of Aryanist sorts of concepts) wanted to break with the semitic tradition (including christianity, as well as judaism, really). Ancient sanskrit texts --hindu and buddhist --which were mostly unknown until 1800 or so, were translated, and linguists began to unravel the history of indo-european languages, and showed the relation of german, as well as latin and greek roots to....sanskrit. Many basic words--mother, mutter, something like matrika in hindi--have cognates throughout the indo-euro languages. <br /><br />So what, many say--yet to the germans that was certainly evidence that much of the judeo-christian tradition was ...suspect (and, really it is--), at least as showing european origens. So, Schopenhaurer leads to Nietzche (who was capable with sanskrit, allegedly)--and even to Wagner, who was a bit of a linguist (ie the legend of The Ring of the Niebelungs has sanskrit parallels) . <br /><br />The cleverer nazis used the Nietzschean ideas against jews--and at times against christians. Himmler shifted into a sort of pagan aryan once the war started (tho' Nietzsche was not generally supportive of the extreme german nationalists). <br /><br />diachronic syntax may not be quantum physics, but actually slightly more interesting than ....econometrix... <br /><br />--Namaste<br /><br />J. the Obscure<br /><br /><br />(*the sanskrit word for mama/madre/mutter, is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrikas" rel="nofollow">Matrika</a>, as in....
