== Astronomy ==
The Wedd's view of the heavenly bodies is quite complicated.  They conflate English ''astronomy'' and ''astrology'' in a way most outsiders find very confusing.  To them, the correct viewpoint from which to view the heavens is precisely that, as the ''heavens'' {{C|המל}} '''himěl'''.  Just as ''planets'' comes from a Greek root meaning "to wander (around the sky)" and originally included lots of things which are not "rocky bodies in Outer Space", so too {{C|מזל}} '''mazěl''' are sky-objects which move, including the sun, the moon, Mars, Jupiter, etc.  Because the constellations/zodiac signs also traverse with the season, they too are considered מזל, even though the starts that make them up are not.  The Weddish split point-of-view affects most objects visible with the naked eye.  The ''sun'' {{C|שמש}} '''łeměł''' is not a hot ball of fusing gas, it's more like an angel on fire, driving across a dome.  The scientific idea of ''Sol'', is a מזל.  The amazing reality is that pagan connotations might be "true", but not the most important aspect of something.

A {{C2|סרה|סֵרֶה}} '''serěh''' is a ''star'', but mainly just the shape: the angels which co-rule over the night are {{C|כוכב|כֹּוכָב}} '''ḳowkov'''.  The ''moon'' is {{C|ירח}}, while a moon (like Io or Phoebe) is {{C|mawn}}.  Nothing like ''universe'' exists natively, though {{C|עולם}} is something like "a space-time epoch", which is probably closer to ''world''.  However, English ''world'' usually means something involving its inhabitance, which is what {{C2|תבל|תֱּבֵל}} '''ṭǝvel''' means.

== Color ==
According to Rosenfelder, Berlin and Kay say that color words emerge in a certain priority scheme, roughly related to the anatomy of human vision.  ''Black'' is  {{C2|חורת|חְוַרְת}} '''cwarþ''' (cognate to English ''swarthy'').  ''White'' is {{C2|והית|וְהִית}} '''whiyþ''', almost the same.  ''Red'' – the first color to emerge – is {{C2|רהוד|רְהֹוד}}.  Next, languages have words for ''blue'' - {{C2|בלו|בְּלֵו}} '''bleu''', ''yellow'' - {{C2|גל|גֵל}} '''jel'''; and ''green'' - {{C2|גרוין|גְּרוין}}.  Then comes ''brown''- {{C2|ברון|בְּרוּן}} '''brun'''.  Finally, four colors tend to come late in a language: ''grey'' -- {{C2|גרי|גְּרֵי}} '''grey''', ''orange'' {{C2|אורג|אֹורֵנְג}} '''owrenj''', ''pink'' {{C2|רוז|רֹוז}} '''rowz''', and ''purple'' {{C2|פורפור|פֹּורפֹור}} '''porfor'''.

''Color'' in general is {{C2|צבעה|צֵבַעֶה}} '''xevaŋěh'''.  ''Crimson'' is found in the Bible - {{C2|ארגמן|אַרְגָּמַן}} ''''argoman''', {{C2|תכלת‬|תְּכֵלֶת}} '''ṭǝkelět''' is ''violet'', {{C2|שני|שַנִי}} '''łaniy''' is ''scarlet''.
