The exhibition tells the story of how, with the help of a £634,800 Heritage Lottery grant, funded with thanks by National Lottery Players, Burnby Hall Gardens and Museum in Pocklington has been restored to its former Edwardian glory.
Work on the Gardens was started in the early 1900s by Percy and Katharine Stewart. Major Percy Stewart had been born in Cambridgeshire but had come to East Yorkshire to take up a teaching post at Pocklington School. In 1901, Percy and his wife Katharine set up home at Burnby Hall and designed an impressive and fashionable pleasure garden with lakes, aviaries and a rock garden.
In 1964, in his will, Percy gifted the grounds of Burnby Hall to the people of Pocklington in trust. Since then, the Gardens have been enjoyed by generations of families – feeding the fish is always a favourite for children.
However, over time the edges of the Upper Lake had deteriorated, the Rock Garden over grown with much of the original planting design lost and the Edwardian Summer House, Aviary and Potting Shed needed some love and attention. Burnby Hall Gardens were delighted to receive a Heritage Lottery grant to enable them to carry out the important restoration needed, and in 2016 embarked on an ambitious scheme of work to restore the Gardens to their former Edwardian glory.
Over the three years, a team of volunteers and specialist staff have replanted over 15,000 alpines, dug in 10,000 bulbs in the Rock Garden, enriched the waterlily beds and built a bespoke Learning Zone for schools and community groups on site.
Visitors can find out all about their hard work and see some amazing historic images of the Gardens when the exhibition opens in Beverley on Saturday, 6 April.
The event, which takes place from 9-11.30am, will also provide an introduction to the Carbon Trust's Green Business Fund for SMEs, covering how to gain access to funding and free one-to-one site energy audits.

Wild Cat (Felis sylvestris) recorded in the Prespa National Park for the first time!
|Comments are Off
(Gorica e Vogel/Korca) A monitoring survey revealed by photographing for the first time the Wild Cats (Felis silvestris) and proofing the evidence of its existence in this park. The Wild Cat was recorded in several cameras, which gives reason to consider that the vital population exists.
It will need further research to assess the population size and the distribution pattern. Eleven wildlife cameras have been distributed in the forests and pastures of the Prespa National Park in Albania. The distance between each camera was about 1.5 km.
The survey brought good results with a large and diverse number of pictures of wildlife species beside Felis silvestris, such as Martens foina (Marten), Meles meles (Badger), Vulpes vulpes (Fox), Sus scrofa (Wild Boar), Lepus europaeus (Hare), Canis lupus (Wolf) Ursus arctos (Brown Bear), Capreolus capreolus (Roe Deer) etc.. Furthermore, even though no pictures of the Balkan lynx have been recorded up to now, the existence of the lynx pray like roe deer, brown hare, red fox and marten, lead to the assumption that it is only a matter of time until the lynx appears since these animals play an important role in Balkan lynx diet. The presence of Balkan lynx prey serves as an indicator of the return of the Balkan lynx to the area in a near future.
The Association for Protection and Preservation of Natural Environment in Albania (PPNEA), in collaboration with the administration of the Park and supported by the Ministry of Environment in Albania and KFW in Germany conducted the extensive monitoring survey with camera-trapping.

Press-Release on the Training Programme for Nature Guides for Prespa national Park, Albania
Nature Guides for Prespa National Park – Interpreters of one of Albania's most outstanding natural and cultural heritage
Prespa National Park assures the long term conservation of the specific ecosystems, of the habitats of rich flora and fauna of the Albanian parts of Prespa Lakes and surrounding cultural and mountainous landscapes as well as of remarkable cultural heritage of the region. Recently a training programme is performed which is to qualify local nature guides for interpreting the extraordinary nature values and cultural features of Prespa region to visitors. The highly motivated trainees and future PNP nature guides are looking forward to provide educational activities to local and regional school classes and youth and to guide nature lovers coming to experience the beauty of Prespa, may they be domestic or international tourists.
According to international good practice and guidelines by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) providing opportunities for nature education, nature experience and recreation are among the central objectives of a National Park. The services of nature guides are – complemented by other means such as interpretive infrastructure (e.g., visitor information centers, interpretive trails, information boards, viewpoints, and others) and printed and electronic media – considered to be indispensable and most effective to make aware, inform and educate visitors. Provided they have a sound, broad and deep knowledge on the peculiarities of a National Park and the necessary skills to deliver this to visitors in an entertaining, activating and motivating manner, interpretive guides can play an important role in making a visit to a National Park an unforgettable experience.
However, their activities reach out beyond providing intensive nature experience and delivery of information on the natural phaenomena and features, biodiversity of fauna and flora species and their habitats and on the ecosystems, the ecosystem services and undisturbed natural processes of a National Park. Nature guides further encourage active stewardship for nature and environment by responsible behaviour during the visit to the National Park, but also by influencing lifestyles of visitors towards more sustainability. The activities of interpretive nature guides can support nature conservation by educating people towards more awareness, interest, understanding and knowledge about the Prespa National Park, its nature values and the need and importance to protect and conserve them. By this, the educational activities of Prespa National Park to be performed by the now trained nature interpretive guides will contribute to environmental, ecological and nature education within the Albanian people, raise appreciation and positive attitude on Prespa National Park and conservation in general, thus, providing a service to the whole society. Last but not least, well trained nature guides will help meeting expectations of international tourists and thus contribute to a sustainable local economic and social development by direct and indirect income generating on the local level.
As part of the project "Transboundary Biosphere Reserve Prespa – Support to the National Park Prespa in Albania", funded by KfW Development Bank on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development for the Albanian Ministry of Environment, a Training Programme for Nature Guides for Prespa National Park is being implemented within April to August of 2015.
Together with staff of the Administration of Prespa National Park, some 17 local dwelling ladies and gentlemen, carefully selected according to their motivation, interest and previously existing supportive skills and experience, are enjoying a training curriculum considered to be unique in the respective field in terms of comprehensiveness and intensity so far in Albania. Within 20 training days blocked to 10 training units, the participants are provided with basic training on the wide range of knowledge and skills which is essential for the challenging activities of nature guides: In theory lectures complemented by practical hands on exercises and outdoor excursions they learn about basics of nature conservation, ecology, botany, zoology and cultural heritage, all with emphasis on the Prespa Lakes region. They also get basic background on designing, organizing, administrating and advertising educational activities and are trained in applied methods of nature interpretation and performing guided tours. Security aspects are taken serious, thus a two days practical training on First Medical Aid has already been provided to the future nature guides of Prespa National Park.
The trainers are high ranking Albanian scientific experts, staff of Prespa National Park and its support project and an experienced Austrian expert on nature education and National Park management, who also did the design of the training progamme.
The final examinations, ending up in awarding of official licenses for the trainees who participated successfully,
Eleven hiking trails invite visitors to experience Nature of the Prespa National Park
Eleven hiking trails have been marked in the territory of the National Park Prespa in Albania. Visitors are welcome to experience the nature and wilderness of the mountains surrounding the both Prespa lakes.
For more information a detailed map (Albanian and English Version) is available in the headquarters of the National Park Prespa in Albania in Gorica e Vogel (Dolna Gorica).

De Risco de la Concepción (Rots van de Conceptie) is een vulkaan op het Canarische eiland La Palma in de gemeente Breña Alta, net ten zuiden van de hoofdstad Santa Cruz de la Palma.

Het hoogste punt van de kraterrand ligt op 382 m hoog, en daarmee is dit een van de lagere vulkanen van La Palma. De krater, door de Palmeros liefkozend La Caldereta (het keteltje) genaamd, is in het verleden als steengroeve en voor landbouwdoeleinden gebruikt. Een deel ervan is nu bebouwd.

Niet ver van de vulkaan ligt de kapel Ermita de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción (Onze Lieve Vrouw van de Conceptie) uit het begin van de zestiende eeuw.

Vukanische activiteit
De Risco de la Concepción is ontstaan na de Caldera de Taburiente, tijdens de opheffing van de Cumbre Nueva. Het is een van de zeldzame hydrovulkanen van de Canarische Eilanden, een vulkaan ontstaan in ondiep water voor de kust van het eiland. Toen heet magma in contact kwam met zeewater volgde een reeks explosieve erupties. Naarmate de vulkaan hoger werd, volgden nog uitbarstingen in open lucht die de huidige krater gevormd hebben. Daarna is het oostelijke gedeelte van de krater door zee-erosie verdwenen.

Beklimming
De vulkaan kan via de weg vanaf Santa Cruz de la Palma of vanuit San Pedro de Breña Alta bereikt worden. Een uitzichtpunt, La Asomado de la Palma, geeft een panorama op het centrum van Santa Cruz de la Palma en de haven.

AA Vol.7 No.4 , November 2017
Words for the Animal Elephant/Mammoth in Relation to the DNA Genealogy Data
Author(s) Petr Jandáček1, Anton Perdih2*
1 Retired, School District, Los Alamos, NM, USA.
2 Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The onomatopoetic Mongol word for the animal elephant, zaan, reflects the primordial Eurasian word for the trumpeting animal mammoth. Subsequently it had diversified into the many variants such as slen, sian, sion, san, chan, slon, silonit, glan, zilonis, zihon, zo, masan, tsonoqua and many other local forms. The endings and are characteristic for Europe, whereas is characteristic for East Asia. Exceptions to this continuum are the Cambodian (Khmer) word damri and the Lithuanian (Baltic) word dramblys. DNA Genealogy and geophysical data indicate that about 68,000 years ago the people having the Y Chromosome haplogroups A00, A0, A1a, A1b1, and B survived on the East African highlands and spread later across Africa, whereas in the area of Alps and Balkans in Europe there survived the people having the Y Chromosome haplogroups BT and CT, whose descendants subsequenly split into the Y Chromosome haplogroups C through T, which in time spread all over the world. This may be the source of the observed similarities.
Words for the Animal Elephant, Areas of Words, Y Chromosome Haplogroups, DNA Genealogy
During last years, Jandáček (2013a, 2013b, 2014, 2017) studied the words for the animal elephant in central and western Eurasia, in southern Africa as well as in South East Asia. The collected data are discussed from a limited linguistic point of view as well as from the point of view of the latest genetic, especially DNA Genealogy as well as geophysical data.
2. Data Collected by Jandáček
Data about words for the animal elephant were gathered from literature and some dialect nuances were gathered in situ as Jandáček traveled through Asia and Africa.
In Table 1 there are collected the data about the words for elephant in Eurasia.
Table 1. Words for the animal elephant in Eurasia.
*The ch in the Thai word is more like a s¡, thus s¡a'ng.
Some similarity indicate also the names of the Amerindian Mythological Elephantine Ogress tsonoqua [No. 35], dzunnukwa, dzoo-noo-qua, dzoonokwa, tsunokwa, dzonokwa etc., as well as the Hebrew siloni or silonit, the Fourth Plague upon Egypt.
The word for the animal elephant is in Semitic languages totally different― Arabic fel, Hebrew feel or peel. They expanded the words peel or feel or fel into many parts of Central Asia as well as into Mediterranean, Western and Northern Europe, Table 2.
The West Caucasian (Table 2) as well as many European languages including all the Germanic and Italic languages had adopted the Arabic or Greco-Latin forms of the word for the animal elephant, Table 3.
Table 2. Words for the animal elephant derived from Semitic.
Table 3. European words for the animal elephant.
*Ostensibly from the Viking travels.
Table 4. Some African words for the cognate of elephant.
Some African words for the cognate of elephant are presented in Table 4. They categorically contain dental and/or alveolar sounds, which (together with < o > and optional < l >) superficially resemble the slo part in slon. Often, however, the lexicography of the words below is deficient. There is usually a plosive or a click element to the sound, which is quite impossible for native speakers of Indo- European languages to replicate. Thus, it may be a vestige of the earlier Khoisan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khoisan_languages#Other_.22click_languages.22) rather than the latter Bantoid.
The Bantoid Languages also show few similarities to the Eurasian languages in their words for elephant. In Table 4 it is evident that dentals < s >, < t >, < th > < z > and < ž > plus an open vowel < o > are common phonemes as they are in Eurasia. Alternately, by placing the tongue on the alveolar ridge (upper gum) instead of passing air through the teeth additional sounds are possible. Thus alveolar < n >, < d >, < l > and dental < s >, < t >, < th >, < z >, and < ž > sounds are quite interchangeable.
3.1. Lexicons Re: Elephant
Slon is the Slavic word for elephant and at this time is used by peoples from the Czech Republic and Slovenia to Vladivostok. It survives in the vestigial communities of Polabian Slavs along the upper and lower Elbe River and in Slovenian communities in Italy, Austria and Hungary, Table 1.
In Latvian (a Baltic language) the word for elephant is zilonis, and in Amharic (the language of Ethiopia) the word for elephant is zihon (http://amharicteacher). This begs the question: "Why should the Horn of Africa and the Shores of the Baltic have such similar lexemes for elephant, and why should the Slavic word slon be centrally included?" The Georgian word is spilo. It appears to be a hybrid between the Semitic pil and the Slavic slon. The Tibetan word for elephant is glan. The Slavic words for Gold and Grain are Zlato and Zrno respectively. This demonstrates that the sounds < g >, < z > and < s > mutate across the spectrum of languages. The words for ivory and elephant often merge in lexical domains. Thus, the Tocharian A word for elephant is onkalam whereas the Tocharian B word is onkolmo. These words seem to be related to the Slavic words for elephant tusk―namely okel or kel. The Tocharian languages were spoken in western China. The Korean word for ivory is sang-a.
Hakka is a south Chinese dialect and the form spoken by natives of Formosa. The Hakka pronunciation for the word for elephant is siong. Poles pronounce and write the < l > in slon as a palatalized < ł >. Thus in Polish the word is written słon' but pronounced swon'―with palatalizations of the < l >and < n >. In a similar way, in a dialect of Slovenian east of its capital Ljubljana locals pronounce slon as suən. They palatalize the < l > to a < u > or English < w > and pronounce the < o > as a short and stressed schwa, < ə > ( Perdih, 2015 ).
The < l > sound is absent in the Orient, and often diminished in Slavic languages and/or dialects. In Japanese the basic word for elephant is zo, but if one intends to be very respectful one uses the formal zosan which means "He, the highly respected elephant".
Evidently, in Europe and Western Asia there are three sources for the words for elephant:
#1. The phonemic source from the Greek elephantas and subsequently Latin. The Greeks ostensibly borrowed the word from Sudan where it means "the fountain" or "source of ivory".
#2. The Semitic source from Arabia and Levant is represented by pil, peel, fil, feel, etc.
#3. The autochthonous European and Asian slon, siong, zaan, zilon(is), etc.
The sound pair < sl > is frequent in Slavic languages but infrequent in other tongues. It is absent in Latin and Greek. Apparently, the West Europeans accepted as a loanword elephant. The word elephant was embraced from the Romans and the Greeks. The Greeks and Romans were much more "Mediterranean" people than "European" in orientation. Ostensibly, the Greeks imported the word elephant along with ivory from Sudan regions of Africa, where the root-word was Hamitic: elu. Roman hegemony spread the word elephant throughout Europe.
One must seriously consider the likelihood that prior to the introduction of the word elephant to many peoples of Europe, all of Europe used the original and autochthonous word slon (in some modified forms). The word elephant was introduced to Europe by the Greeks and proliferated by the Romans. Prior to 5000 years ago we can be reasonably certain that slon was the word for the animal elephant in Western Europe as well in Central Europe and Asia.
We can present an 8-step logical argument that Western Europeans used the word slon before they adopted the Greek/Latin loan-word elephant:
1) The Slavic word for the animal elephant―slon is totally different from the standard word in Latinic and Germanic languages―elephant.
2) Hungarians, Finns, Basques, Greeks also use forms of the word elephant in their languages.
3) Slavs share their slon word with Latvians and peoples in Eastern and Central Asia.
4) Obviously, the peoples using the lexical forms of elephant have been using such as a loan word from Greek = ελέφαντας eléfantas.
5) The Romans modified the Greek word to be elephantus.
6) Latin form has been adopted by most languages of Western and South-Western Europe.
7) This begs the question what word(s) did those peoples use before they accepted the word elephant as a loanword from the Romans and the Greeks?
8) In absence of a better candidate for a word―used in antiquity, it is likely that the various forms of slon were used in Western Europe as such terms are used today from Central Europe to Thailand.
The Bantoid languages in Africa, Table 4, on the other hand, share some similarity of tlou/dlou/jou/zou to slon in the Slavic languages. In Indic languages, e.g. in Sanskrit gaja (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaja), Hindi hāthī; haathi (www.hamariweb), Tamil yāṉai (www.google+tamil), there is observed no match with European and Bantoid expressions for elephant. This is reminiscent of the lexicons concerning herding and animal husbandry and the vocabulary regarding cereal crops. In Sanskrit the words for animal husbandry are similar to the Slavic, while the Sanskrit words for grain cultivation are dissimilar from the Slavic ( Skulj et al., 2006, 2008 ). This indicates that the Aryans, who arrived India about 3500 years ago, accepted the aboriginal Indic terminology regarding the animal elephant.
In Southeast Asia, the Thai word is chang (http://adaythai). In Laos the word for elephant is sang (https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&tab=mw#bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&fp=241e6960f679dffb&hl=en&q=what+is+the+laotian+word+for+elephant+%3F). The words chang and sang resemble the Slavic word slon.
The Latvian (Baltic) word for elephant is zilonis, and as such, it resembles the Slavic slon. The Lithuanian (Baltic) word for elephant is dramblys and as such resembles the Cambodian (Khmer) word damri. Evidently the two extant Baltic languages are not related in their words for the animal elephant. Whereas the Latvian word zilonis resembles the Slavic slon, the Lithuanian word dramblys resembles the Khmer of Cambodia word(s) for elephant damri (www.wordhippo) thum-rey (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_say_elephant_in_KhmerAnswers.com) or domrey (www.himandus) (in fact pronounced dambrey, Jandáček, 2015 ). In travels by Jandáček through South East Asia in 2015 there was observed that the indigenous people categorically drop the < s > sound at the end of a word. When speaking English they say "pry" instead of "price", "how" instead of "house", "sick" instead of "six" or "whore" instead of "horse". This prompts to speculate that the original Khmer word for elephant used to be dambreys. Possible understanding of the word dramblys = the trumpeting animal. In Slovene: trobiti = to trumpet; tromba (oldfashioned) = the trumpet, the trump; trobec = elephant's nose. In Czech: troubiti etc. Similar forms of the word are common throughout Europe.
While the words fil, feel, pil, peel, etc is evidently an import from Levant and Arabia, and elephant is a loanword from Sudan in Africa, slon/siong stands alone as a truly ancient Eurasian word. Perhaps the mammoth hunters used a variant of the word zaan > słaŋ or słəŋ > slon/siong. Mammoth ivory and bone decorated the living and the dead and were traded and marketed across the northern continents. The ancient mammoth habitat extended from Portugal across Eurasia and Beringia up to eastern Canada ( Kahlke, 2015 ). This could mean that the word slon originally marked i.a. the animal mammoth and that it was not until later, when mammoths were gone for a long time, to start using it for the animal elephant. In tropical areas (eg India), however, they used different words for the animal elephant, which was not synonymous with mammoth.
Mammoths survived as isolated populations on islands until about 3750 to 4000 years ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrangel_Island). By 4000 years ago humankind was well into historical times and knowledge of the strange beasts and their ivory was common not only among the elites, but also among commoners.
Palaeoloxodons of Northern China (only 3000 years ago) were more closely related to African elephants (Loxodont) rather than to the Asian (Elephas). It is meaningful that Northern Chinese had experiential knowledge about elephants till very recently (http://phenomena; Li et al., 2012 ).
The extension of the slon-like words for elephant from the Slavic part of Europe across Central to East Asia observed here, parallels the extension of some of the ceramics and figurines in several cultures in Eastern Europe and China as well as the R1a haplotypes observed by Klyosov & Mironova (2013) . This parallelism may indicate that the R1a people, the Aryans, extended the word slon to the east and possibly they were those who exterminated the Palaeoloxodons of Northern China about 3000 years ago.
As languages evolve and speciate they have a proclivity to simplify and abbreviate long words. Using this model, we can speculate that the Baltic languages indeed have retained very ancient and protracted words for the animal elephant.
The Tocharian words for the animal elephant onkalam, onkolmo are likely from the Slavic-like word for tusk = okel, keł or kel. Ngar is the Thai word for ivory. The < r > in it is semi silent and < ł > like, and ergo the word is close to ngał and not very different from keł.
It is reassuring that there is a high degree of predictability that languages of Eurasia have similar lexeme for elephant in their native language. The almost universal term for elephant across Eurasia is some derivative of słəŋ. This is true for extant languages, extinct languages and minority language. It is equally true for languages belonging to the various language families such as Ural-Altaic, Sino- Tibetan, Indo-European, Mon-Khmer and others. Categorically, the word for elephant begins with a dental < s > or < z > and terminates in a nasal < n > or < ŋ >.
The Mongol word zaan seems to be the best onomatopoeic representation of the trumpeting sound of the elephant. Europeans, on the other hand, had more generations to forget how the Chinese palaeoloxodons or woolly mammoths sounded. Thus in Mongolia there may be a sound of more fidelity of the "voice" of elephants than in the Slavic tongues.
For the sake of argument let us consider that the original word for elephant was based on the onomatopoeia of the trumpeting mammoth. Perhaps it sounded like ZZZAAAAN! As such it is probably best preserved in the Mongol word for elephant: zaan. The onomatopoetic zaan would have diversified into the many variants such as siaŋ, sioŋ, saŋ, chaŋ, slon, silonit, glan, zilonis, zehon, masan, tsonoqua and many other local forms. This diversity of variants has as its root the word słaŋ or słəŋ. The diversification took place in different areas at different times.
The TransEurasian linguistic reconstruction słəŋ is a blend of sounds, which typically constitute the word for the animal elephant (or previously mammoth) from Central Europe to Thailand (in Tropical South-Eastern Asia). Słəŋ fine- tuning is subject to modification as it passes through various language families across all of Eurasia. For instance, Latvian is a Baltic language, Polish is a Slavic language as also are Russian, Polabian, Slovenian, Macedonian, and tongues of most locales between Ljubljana, Skopje, Vladivostok and Prague. Mongolian is an Altaic language. Tibetan and Chinese belong to the Sino-Tibetan family. Thai and Lao languages belong to the Tai-Kadai family. Other language families, which embrace the słəŋ model as their word for the animal elephant include Tibetan-Burmese, Japonic-Ryukyuan, and Mon-Khmer. There are spillovers into Alaska and the NW coast of America in the Athapaskan languages, and into the Horn of Africa with Amharic.
In spite of the fact that we are dealing with eleven different Language Families and a plethora of individual languages, the words for the animal elephant categorically begin with a dental < s/z > and end with a nasal < n >, < ŋ > or < nj >, < ? >.
The middle part of słəŋ (łə) ranges in pronunciation from < a > or < o > or < uo >, < wo >, to an alveolar contact < l >, to Polish < ł >, to schwa = < ə >―as undifferentiated semivowels. Not surprisingly, in Eastern Asia, speakers avoid the < l > sound. Thus we are dealing with the fact that in Deep Structure the word słəŋ is ubiquitous. In local specific expression it is subject to ethnic modifiers.
Czech works well to demonstrate how to mutate the < n > in slon into the < ? > (Slovenian < nj >, pronounce as < ny >) in derivatives of the word. Thus there is one slon but several slonji (pron. slonyi). Female elephant is a slonjice (pron. slonyice), a baby elephant is a slunje (pron. slunye). In other words the < n > is palatalized as in the word konj.
Thus the < ŋ > at the end of słəŋ may manifest itself an < n > or < nj > or < ŋ >, depending on locale or other modifiers. < n > and < nj > are characteristic for Europe, whereas < ŋ > is characteristic for East Asia.
There is also another interesting point of view on the words for the animal elephant. Namely, there is a number of words for the giant elephant-like ogres, for example the Amerindian Mythological Elephantine Ogress tsonoqua, dzunnukwa, dzoo-noo-qua, dzoonokwa, tsunokwa, dzonokwa, etc., which appear at the first glance as a combination of the Russian slonikha and Amerindian squaw to form the word, which resembles a "Sloní Squaw". On the other hand, the Hebrew word siloni or silonit describes the Fourth Plague upon Egypt. These words deserve a separate study.
A rather speculative scenario of the develpoment of words in Table 2 and Table 3 would unify other words for elephant. The hunters identified mammoths and other members of the elephant family by their call ZZZZAAAANg naming them zaan. It possibly developed in a progression such as this: zaan >>> słəŋ > səłəŋ > səłəə > sələ > pələ (> peel) > fələ (> feel) > fel > el fel > elephas > elephans > elephant, or, > fələ > fəlu > elu > elephas > elephans > elephant.
There are essentially two ways to account for the fact that all Slavs have the same word for elephant. One way would be that the word slon is over 10,000 years old and was already ubiquitous throughout Europe including the Iberian Peninsula and the British Isles.
The other scenario is less convincing. In the 19th Century scholars promoted the idea that until the 6th Century AD all Slavs were limited to the swamplands and marshes of the Pripyat River on the border between Belarus and Ukraine. The theory proposes that millions of Slavs exploded from the swampland and occupied two thirds of Europe in the 6th Century AD. While the Byzantine and Western Roman scribes mentioned every tiny clan, which was on the move, nobody noticed the Slavs entering Central Europe. Subsequently an individual must have coined the word slon and sent messengers to all corners of Slovandom to instruct people to use the word slon if they ever saw a very big animal with a very long nose and very big teeth.
Besides the similarity of folk expressions for elephant/mammoth, there are interesting also other similarities in the folk expressions, for example the similarities of the folk expressions for the dragonfly in which any kind of an association between the dragonfly and the snake is expressed ( Kiauta, 2002 ).
3.2. Relation to the Y Chromosome Data
Previous results of the study of the words for the animal elephant ( Jandaček, 2013a, 2013b ) were commented from the point of view of DNA Genealogy. The DNA Genealogy data indicated at that time that the word słəŋ (slon) seems to be carried by the Eurasian people having the Y Chromosome haplogroup K-M9, which arose around 55,000 years ago ( Klyosov, 2013b ).
The overview of new data till 2016 and their meaning has been published ( Perdih, 2016 ) as well, but subsequently new important pieces of information were published. These shed additional light onto such questions. Especially important are the following pieces of data:
1) The ancestors of present humankind did not develop in Africa about 50,000 to 100,000 years ago but elsewhere ( Klyosov & Rozhanskii, 2012b ; Klyosov et al., 2013 ; Klyosov, 2014a , Fuss et al., 2017 , Hublin et al., 2017 ), where they had common ancestors from which there split the Denisovans about 800,000 (657,000 to 973,000) years ago and Neanderthals about 400,000 (326,000 to 482,000) years ago ( Fu et al., 2013 , cf. also Meyer et al., 2016 ).
2) The trunk of the old genealogical tree of humankind ( Klyosov, 2014c: 1849 ; Poznik et al., 2016 , http://www.yfull.com/tree/">http://www.yfull.com/tree/) presents the data of when and from which predecessor descended the extant Y Chromosome haplogroups. The data presented by Poznik et al. (2016 ) and http://www.yfull.com/tree/ coincide within the uncertainty limits and the latter ones are presented here.
3) The "oldest" haplogroup known at present is the African haplogroup A00- L1284 formed about 235,900 years ago, but it is not the ancestor of any other haplogroup known at present. The same holds true for the African haplogroups A1a-M31 formed about 133,400 years ago, A0-L991 (between 190,400 and 163,000, Poznik et al., 2016 ), A1b1-L419 formed about 130,700 years ago, and B-M60 formed about 88,000 years ago. The ancestor of haplogroup B-M60 and of all the other presently known Y Chromosome haplogroups, i.e. haplogroups C through T, was the haplogroup BT-M91, which formed about 130,700 years ago from the same ancestor as the presently African haplogroup A1b1-L419.
Haplogroup BT-M91 suffered a bottleneck event about 64,000 ± 6000 years ago ( Klyosov & Rozhanskii, 2012b ). Its non-African descendant (in parentheses the approximate time of the haplogroup formation in years ago) was the haplogroups CT-M168 (88,000) from which derived the haplogroup DE-M145 (68,000) (and its descendant haplogroups D-M174 (65,200) and E-M96 (65,200)) as well as the haplogroup CF-P143 (68,500). From the haplogroup CF-P143 there formed the haplogroup C-M130 (65,900) and F-M89 (65,900). From the haplogroup F-M89 derived in one or another sequence all the other haplogroups known at present, for example G-M201 (48,500), H-L901 (48,500), I-M170 (42,900), J-M304 (42,900), K-M9 (47,200). From the haplogroup K-M9 there formed haplogroup P-P295 (45,400), L-M20 (42,600), T-M184 (42,600), N-M23 (36,800), and O-M175 (36,800). From the haplogroup P-P295 there formed the haplogroup R-M207 (31,900) and Q-M242 (31,900). From the haplogroup R-M207 formed the haplogroup R1-M173 (28,200), and from it the haplogroup R1a-M420 (22,800) and R1b-M343 (22,800).
4) About 68,000 (71,000 to 57,000) years ago, coincident with MIS 4, a big cosmic body fell into the Pacific Ocean causing a wave many kilometers high. It flooded most of the continents, except the East African Highlands and the region in Alps and Balkans in Europe ( Yurkovets, 2015 , Y urkovets & Vasilenko, 2017 ). It is not yet clear whether it caused the Toba eruption or they were two independent events. However, the impact of a cosmic body in Russia about 40,000 years ago, which formed the Ladoga Lake and which ashes devastated the Russian Plane, caused the eruption of the Caucasian and Mediterranean vulcanos ( Yurkovets, 2012, 2014 ).
5) Another important information was derived from the European skeletons of about 30,000 years ago and later ( Fu et al., 2016 ). In those skeletons (in the Czech Republic, Rumania, Russia, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Italy) there were discovered the Y Chromosome haplogroups BT, CT, C, F, I and the haplogroups HIJK and IJK, which derived from the haplogroup F and which are ancestors of haplogroup I.
Putting together these groups of data gives rise to the following conclusions. On the East African Highlands there survived the males having Y Chromosome haplogroups A00, A0, A1b1 and B together with their females. In the region in Alps and Balkans in Europe there survived the males having Y Chromosome haplogroups BT and CT with their females having the mtDNA haplogroup U. There is still open the question whether some humans survived in the Caucasus Mountains and/or Himalayas.
After this event the African survivors expanded across most of Africa. The European survivors expanded subsequently across Eurasia, entered Americas, Australia, and the males having the Y Chromosome haplogroup E entered Africa, where it is now the main haplogroup ( Poznik et al., 2016 ).
Where formed the Y Chromosome haplogroup DE from CT is not known yet nor the exact ways of expansion of the Y Chromosome haplogroups D and E. The Y Chromosome haplogroup D is observed now mainly in Tibet, on the Andaman Islands and in Japan. The people having the Y Chromosome haplogroup E are observed now mainly in the Near East, Europe, and especially in Africa, where this is the most frequent haplogroup.
The Y Chromosome haplogroup C seems to had been formed in Europe, since it has been discovered in some ancient skeletons in Europe ( Fu et al., 2016 ), where it seems now to be extinct. The Y Chromosome haplogroup C is now characteristic for Mongols, some Amerindians and Australian Aborigins.
The Y Chromosome haplogroup F seems to had been the most successful one since from it formed the most extant haplogroups (G, H, I, J, K) and their descendants represent now the majority of humankind. The Y Chromosome haplogroup F has been discovered in ancient skeletons in Europe ( Fu et al., 2016 ) but now it is rare. Also the Y Chromosome haplogroup I has been discovered in ancient skeletons in Europe ( Fu et al., 2016 ). Its past and present situation presented Brandt et al. (2015) and Klyosov (2010a, 2011a, 2012b, 2015b) .
One of the descendants of the Y Chromosome haplogroup F, namely the haplogroup K was very productive as well. It is now very rare, as well, but its descendants we find all over the world. The Y Chromosome haplogroup K seems to had expanded east. From it there formed the haplogroup LT (45,400), which expanded south, whereas in Siberia there formed the haplogroup P (45,400).
From the haplogroup LT branched off the haplogroup T (42,600), with membership from Ethiopia to Estonia, then haplogroup L (42,600), whose members live in India and Middle East, and the haplogroup NO (41,500), which migrated to the South East Asia. There formed from the haplogroup NO the haplogroups N (36,800) and O (36,800). The haplogroup O is now the main haplogroup in China, Tibet, Vietnam, Cambodia and Japan. Part of the members of haplogroup N migrated north.
From the haplogroup P there formed in Siberia the haplogroup Q (31,900), whose descendants live now in North East Asia and in Americas, as well as the haplogroup R (31,900), whose members remained mainly in the Altai region, and there formed from the haplogroup R the haplogroup R1 (28,200), and from it the haplogroup R1a (22,800) and R1b (22,800).
The Y Chromosome haplogroup G formed from haplogroup F somewhere between the Balkans and the Caucasus. It expanded east to present Afghanistan and there formed the haplogroup G2a ( Klyosov, 2016c ), which subsequently expanded west and it was one of the bearers of agriculture into Europe. On intrusion of the Y Chromosome haplogroup R1b people into Europe about 4500 years ago, previous Europeans were largely exterminated and the rest of its bearers remained there, whereas most of its bearers live now in western Caucasus, especially in Ossetia, where a substantial part of them have non-European subgroups of the Y Chromosome haplogroup G2a ( Rozhanskii, 2016 ).
In Central Asia there formed from the haplogroup R (about 31,900 years ago) the haplogroup R1 (28,200), and from it the haplogroup R1a (22,800) and R1b (22,800) originated. After the LGM, the people having haplogroup R1b migrated west and settled the Middle Volga River region about 13,000 years ago, where they formed the Pre-Kurgan and Kurgan cultures. Gradually they expanded south. Those who remained about 6000 years ago north of the Caucasus Montains formed later the Yamna Culture etc., and did not advance west into the Central or Western Europe but south to Mesopotamia. Those who advanced beyond the Caucasus Montains about 6000 years ago reached Mesopotamia and founded there the Sumerian state. From there some of them migrated west into Egypt. From Egypt they continued south into Central Africa and west across the Northern Africa. About 4900 years ago they entered the Iberian penninsula and from there they (as the bearers of the Bell Beaker culture) conquered Western Europe to Ireland and Scandinavia, intruding also the Central Europe ( Klyosov, 2008, 2009, 2010b, 2011a, 2011b, 2011d, 2012a, 2013a, 2014b ).
As the haplogroup R1b (22,800), also the haplogroup R1a (22,800) formed from the haplogroup R1 (28,200). After the LGM, the people having haplogroup R1a migrated southeast to present Cambodia, and the majority of them migrated southwest reaching India about 13,000 years ago, eastern Arabia about 10,000 years ago, the Fertile Crescent, Anatolia and the Balkans about 9000 years ago. They reached the westernmost and the northern Europe at about 6000 to 5600 years ago. After the attacks by the Y Chromosome haplogroup R1b people a number of the Y Chromosome haplogroup R1a people escaped from the Western and Central Europe onto the Russian Plane, and from the Russian Plane they expanded east as far as Northern China, south to the Near East (Mitanni), Arabia, Iran (Avestians), and India (Aryans) ( Rozhanskii & Klyosov, 2009, 2012 ; Klyosov & Rozhanskii, 2012a ; Klyosov, 2014c, 2015a, 2016a, 2016b ). It is not yet definitely clear by which routes the Y Chromosome haplogroup R1a people advanced and which lifestyles and cultures they practiced. These data indicate that a substantial part of the extant East Slavs, as well as the Avestians in Iran and Aryans in India derived from the Central Europe.
There is a general opinion that the Y Chromosome haplogroup N people (Finno-Ugric) were the aboriginal inhabitants of the northern Europe. Haplogroup data, e.g. Brandt et al. (2015) , Klyosov (2011c, 2015c, 2015d) show, however, that the first inhabitants there were the Y Chromosome haplogroup I people, to whom later on the advent of agriculture admixed the Y Chromosome haplogroup R1a people. The Y Chromosome haplogroup N people formed in South- East Asia about 36,800 years ago and subsequently spread north and west reaching the Altai region about 14,000 years ago, the Ugric region east of the Ural Mountains about 6000 years ago, crossing the Ural Mountains about 3000 years ago arriving in the Baltics about 2500 years ago ( Klyosov, 2011c, 2015c, 2015d ).
The similarity of the Khmer (Cambodia) word(s) for the animal elephant i.e damri, thum-rey or domrey and the Lithuanian (Baltics) word dramblys seems counterintuitive. However, keeping in mind that the Y Chromosome haplogroup N formed in the South-East Asia about 36,800 years ago from the haplogroup NO in parallel with the haplogroup O and subsequently spread north and west arriving to the Baltics about 2500 years ago ( Klyosov, 2011c, 2015c, 2015d ) and that exactly in Lithuania it is the major haplogroup, this similarity is less surprising.
In the nearby Latvia, where the frequency of the Y Chromosome haplogroup N is somewhat lower, the word for elephant is zilonis and it is more Slavic-like than that in Lithuania. It is interesting also that in Latvian there can be observed many Slovene dialectal words ( Nikčević, 2006 ).
In view of data collected above, the widespread similarity of words for the animal elephant is not surprising. They seem to derive from the ancient mammoth habitat and on expansion of humankind tens of millenia ago, Figure 1.
There are, however, also other derivatives of these data. For example, the fact that the Y Chromosome haplogroup N people arrived in European Russia and Baltic countries later than about 3000 years ago and admixed to the inhabitants having the Y Chromosome haplogroups I and R1a, disproves the explanation valid till now that there developed from the *Indo-European the Balto-Slavic linguistic complex, which split subsequently into Baltic and Slavic. The new haplogroup data presented above show that the primordial language in that area was
Figure 1. Map of the main Y Chromosome haplogroups expansion across the mammoth habitat combined with the approximate position of present slon-like words for the animal elephant taken from Table 1 as numbers from 1 through 35.
proto-Slavic and that Baltic derived from it on admixture of the Finno-Ugric people having the Y Chromosome haplogroup N.
This opens also the question, which was the aboriginal Proto-Indo-European. On the one hand, the Aryans arrived India from Europe ( Rozhanskii & Klyosov, 2009, 2012 ; Klyosov & Rozhanskii, 2012a ; Klyosov, 2014c, 2015a, 2016a, 2016b ). On the other hand, the Y Chromosome haplogroup R1a derived from the Y Chromosome haplogroup R1 (28,200) somewhere near the Altai Mountains about 22,800 years ago, whereas the Y Chromosome haplogroup R1b derived from the Y Chromosome haplogroup R1 somewhere in the vicinity about the same time (http://www.yfull.com/tree/). There are now spoken Turkic languages. When the Y Chromosome haplogroup R1b people arrived Western Europe after about 4800 years ago, they were speaking Altaic (Proto-Turkic) ( Alinei, 1996-2000, 2000, 2003 ; Klyosov, 2011d ) in spite of having had lived away from the present Turkic speaking area for about ten millenia.
It is hardly probable that on their formation from the Y Chromosome haplogroup R1 about 22,800 years ago in the Altai region, the Y Chromosome haplogroup R1a people would speak Proto-Slavic whereas the Y Chromosome haplogroup R1b people would speak Proto-Turkic. Available data suggest that the Y Chromosome haplogroup R1a people turned proto-Slavic on their way into Europe or in Europe, whereas the Y Chromosome haplogroup R1b people turned Indo-European within the Europe.
This and the fact that there are observed several linguistic traces, which indicate the Slavic substrate in languages in Europe, e.g. in Basque ( Jandáček & Arko, 2002 ; Jandáček, 2003, 2004 ), in ancient Gaulish ( Ambrozic, 1999, 2000, 2002a, 2002b, 2010 ; Serafimov, 2006 ; Serafimov & Tomezzoli, 2010 ; Deacon, 2017 ), on British Isles and in Scandinavia ( Stanonik, 1996 ), in denominations of toponyms, words and customs in the Slovenian way in Alps and on the British Isles resp. elsewhere ( Tuma, 1923, 1925, 1926 ; Bizjak, 2002, 2015 ; Rant, 2007, 2008, 2014 ; Rant, 2006, 2011, 2014, 2015 ; Verbovšek, 1995 ) indicates that the aboriginal Proto-Indoeuropean was Proto-Slavic and their speakers were the Y Chromosome haplogroup I, mtDNA haplogroup U people. The immigrants, e.g. the agriculturists of about 7500 to 6000 years ago were either already Proto-Slavic speaking or turned Proto-Slavic in contact with the Y Chromosome haplogroup I people or lived separated from them, whereas the Y Chromosome haplogroup R1b people turned Indo-European after about 4800 years ago and formed the so-called Celtic languages.
Usually one considers that a female accepted into a family turns to the language spoken in the family. In Western Europe one has to consider also the possibility of the scenario that the offspring of a low number of Proto-Turkic speaking new local rulers having a substantial number of subjugated aboriginal females formed a language mix, which subsequently developed into "Celtic".
In view of the presented DNA Genealogy data it would be interesting to re-evaluate the explanation by Warnow et al. (1996) that "It appears to point to a situation in which Germanic began to develop within the Satem Core (as evidenced by its morphology) but moved away before the final satem innovations. It then moved into close contact with the "western" languages (Celtic and Italic) and borrowed much of its distinctive vocabulary from them".
According to the data known at present, especially the DNA Genealogy data, but also the data presented by Lie (1991) about the similarities between German and Korean, the data by Chang (1988) about the similarities between German and Chinese, which are both Kentum, as well as the ‑ng (‑ŋ) ending in both Germanic and Oriental languages and the including policy of the Germanic leaders at the beginning of AD, the explanation by Warnow et al. (1996) would mean that some of the ancestors of present Germanic people originated in Europe among (or as) the Proto-Slavic speakers, then left Europe about 4500 years ago as Aryans, moving east reaching northern China about 3500 years ago ( Rozhanskii & Klyosov, 2009, 2012 ; Klyosov & Rozhanskii, 2012a ; Klyosov, 2014c, 2015a, 2016a, 2016b ). Advancing east they mixed with previous inhabitants to become the Proto-Germans. The ancient Proto-Germans influenced the Proto-Chinese and vice versa. After being expelled west, they mixed in Europe with the "Celtic" people and during the time of the Roman Empire and afterthem the Italic people influenced their language to develop present Germanic languages.
In short, the Y Chromosome haplogroup I people had been the aboriginal Europeans and seem to had been the Proto-Slavic speakers. In contact with newcomers of other language groups either the newcomers turned to Proto -Slavic or the previously Proto-Slavic speakers lost their Proto-Slavic but turned the non-Indo-European newcomers into Indo-European.
Until a more compelling hypothesis based on new and improved data emerges, we must adhere to the paradigm that prior to about 68,000 years ago the word zaan > słəŋ was ubiquitous throughout Europe. In Europe, the survivors of the cataclysm, which occurred about 68,000 years ago, had the Y Chromosome haplogroups BT and CT and used the word zaan > słəŋ as they referred to the animal elephant or mammoth. They inherited this word from their ancestors living in Europe before the said cataclysm. They and their descendants subsequently expanded across Asia. Where these people hunted mammoths they retained a cluster of similar words.
Around 68,000 - 62,000 and 43,000 - 36,000 years ago ( Yurkovets, 2011: p. 1641 ) glaciation exposed new land bridges to mammoth and human migrations.
In the first case, i.e. after the cataclysm of around 68,000 ago, in the areas once flooded, land biota had to establish itself. Subsequently, mammoths and humans followed. In the second case, i.e. around 43,000 - 36,000 years ago, again the newly exposed land bridges allowed for the expansion of mammoth and human migration into the "new world" lands.
The people, who would expand across the mammoth hunting grounds around 62,000 years ago could include besides those having had the Y Chromosome haplogroups BT and CT also those having had the Y Chromosome haplogroups C and D.
During the next cooling, i.e. prior to about 36,000 years ago, along with them the people having Y Chromosome haplogroups G, I, K and P could had occupied the area.
The Y Chromosome haplogroup C exists now i.a. in Mongolia, where the word for the animal elephant zaan is observed, cf. No. 18 in Table 1. The Y Chromosome haplogroup D exists in Tibet and Japan, where the words glan and zo, respectively, are used, cf. No. 22 and 21 in Table 1. The descendants of the Y Chromosome haplogroup P, e.g. those having Y Chromosome haplogroup R1a are in Europe, mainly among Slavs, where the word slon is now observed, cf. No. 1 through 13 in Table 1, whereas the Y Chromosome haplogroup Q members are observed now in the north-east Asia and Americas, where the Amerindian Mythological Elephantine Ogress tsonoqua and its variants are reported.
The ancestors of the majority of present humankind survived the catastrophe of about 68,000 years ago in Europe and expanded subsequently all over the world, some also circulating around. Thus it is not surprising that the word for an animal known in one or another form to all of them has similarities all over the world.
All these explanations based on the latest DNA Genealogical and geophysical data are to be thorougly re-evaluated also from the points of view of other data, e.g. archaeologic, linguistic, etc, taking as arguments not the interpretations considered valid till now but data, and the new evaluation has to be based on data only and not on obsolete interpretations.
Patterns of haplogroups of human populations are evident in the Arctic, Subarctic and Temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Indications of the same origin exist in Eurasia, Alaska, Canada and extend throughout the Americas. Evidently, in the past this included the semi-continent of Beringia. In a like manner, lexicons referring to mammoths suggest that the mammoths were an important resource for the survival, development and expansion of humans.
Mammoth hunters spread their genes, mammoth products, and jargon of their trade in the late Paleolithic. Słəŋ is the "magic word" which binds the extant human populations of the region.
Thus there appear to be correlations between the local nuances of the word słəŋ and the geographical distributions of haplogroups in Eurasia. With further genetic research and additional linguistic finds more correlations are likely to be observed.
