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 regard the heavens is precisely that, as the heavens 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 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 stars that make them up are not. The Weddish split point-of-view affects most objects visible with the naked eye. The sun 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 סֵרֶה serěh is a star, but mainly just the shape: the angels which co-rule over the night are כֹּוכָב ḳowkov. The moon is ירח, while a moon (like Io or Phoebe) is mawn. Nothing like universe exists natively, though 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 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 חְוַרְת cwarþ (cognate to English swarthy). White is וְהִית whiyþ, almost the same. Red – the first color to emerge – is רְהֹוד. Next, languages have words for blue - בְּלֵו bleu, yellow - גֵל jel; and green - גְּרוין. Then comes brown- בְּרוּן brun. Finally, four colors tend to come late in a language: grey -- גְּרֵי grey, orange אֹורֵנְג owrenj, pink רהֹוז rhowz, and purple פֹּורפֹור porfor.

Color in general is צֵבַעֶה xevaŋěh. Crimson is found in the Bible - אַרְגָּמַן 'argoman, תְּכֵלֶת ṭǝkelět is violet, שַנִי łaniy is scarlet.
