'''H₂weh₁-yú''' is the reconstructed word for wind in [[Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]]. |

The deification of the wind is attested in most Indo-European traditions. The root ''*h₂weh₁'' ("to blow") is at the origin of the two words for the wind: ''*H₂weh₁-yú-'' and ''*H₂w(e)h₁-nt-''.{{snf|Mallory|Adams|2006|page=129}}{{Sfn|West|2007|p=263–264}} The deity is indeed often depicted as a couple in the [[Indo-Iranians|Indo-Iranian]] tradition. [[Vayu-Vata|Vayu-Vāta]] is a dual divinity in the ''[[Avesta]]'', Vāta being associated with the stormy winds and described as coming from everywhere ("from below, from above, from in front, from behind"). Similarly, the Vedic [[Vayu|Vāyu]], the lord of the winds, is connected in the ''[[Vedas]]'' with [[Indra]]—the king of [[Svarga]] Loka (also called Indraloka)—while the other deity Vāta represents a more violent sort of wind and is instead associated with [[Parjanya]]—the god of rain and thunder.{{Sfn|West|2007|p=263–264}} Other [[Cognate|cognates]] include Hitt.

Hans Bemmann's literary break through was the [[fairytale fantasy]] novel ''The Stone and the Flute'' in 1983, that tells the adventures of a young man called ''Listener'' in an idyllic [[fairy tale|fairytale]] world. A magic stone and a magic flute are meant to lead him the way to happiness, but because of his lack of knowledge of the human nature and his naivité he abuses his power and makes fateful choices. Fantastic encounters and long hardships give him new perspectives and deep human insights. The story of ''Listener'''s life is interwoven with his love story. |

The sequel ''Erwins Badezimmer'' (Erwin's bathroom), an [[epistolary novel]], shows the reader a dictatorship that controls its population by systematically simlifying its language. The good-natured linguist ''Albert S.'' accidentally stumbles upon an underground movement, that is directed by ''Erwin'' from an illegal [[microform]] library in this bathroom. ''Albert'' finds the love of his life and learns to see the world from a new point of view based on the ambiguous use of language. The idea of manipulation by systematic use of language is also present in [[George Orwell]]'s [[dystopia]] ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four|1984]]''. |

''Die Gärten der Löwin'' (the gardens of the lioness) can be read as a novel on its own, but is also a sequel to ''The Broken Goddess'', in which the heroine shows her story. This book differs from its prequel in syntax and choice of language, so that the author succeeds impressively in painting a different emotional world. |

H₂weh₁-yú is the reconstructed word for wind in Proto-Indo-European.
The deification of the wind is attested in most Indo-European traditions. The root *h₂weh₁ ("to blow") is at the origin of the two words for the wind: *H₂weh₁-yú- and *H₂w(e)h₁-nt-.[1][2] The deity is indeed often depicted as a couple in the Indo-Iranian tradition. Vayu-Vāta is a dual divinity in the Avesta, Vāta being associated with the stormy winds and described as coming from everywhere ("from below, from above, from in front, from behind"). Similarly, the Vedic Vāyu, the lord of the winds, is connected in the Vedas with Indra—the king of Svarga Loka (also called Indraloka)—while the other deity Vāta represents a more violent sort of wind and is instead associated with Parjanya—the god of rain and thunder.[2] Other cognates include Hitt. huwant-, Lith. vėjas, Toch. B yente, Lat. uentus, Ger. *windaz, or Welsh gwynt.[2] The Slavic Viy is another possible equivalent entity.[3]
He is hypothesized to have been linked to life and death through adding and taking breath from people.[3]
Etymology
[edit]The name H₂weh₁-yú is derived from the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European root *h₂weh₁-, meaning "to blow" or "to breathe".[1][2]
