The etymology of Glottis into English is late 16th century from modern Latin, from Greek glōttis, from glōtta, a variant of glōssa ‘tongue’ they say.
Armenian language offers the student of phonetics the word for to swallow as Gllel, կլլել, a verb, the root syllable of which is 'Gll', and կլանել, a transitive verb is to swallow, to gulp. Now this brings into question etymology and origins of IE as well as the efforts to prioritize one language over another, in a attempt I presume to find the Proto-IE. For starters, I think we have to be careful with laws like Grimms and Glottalic, (which should strictly speaking be referred to as observations no more) when it comes to encouraging open minded research on the subject.
While on the subject of our assumptions the Greek word Glossa and varient Glotta come into focus for if we dig deeper at root of IE languages we find the word from Ancient Armenian Lezu for tongue լեզու, a noun tongue also language, lingua and speech.
It is very interesting to note that Zunge in German for tongue, falls between Armenian 'lezu' and English tongue. It seems the glottal nasal NG consonant was added to Lez to gives us Zungue. Also the glottal G as prefix to create Greek 'glossa' which also indicates the variant 'glottal, for tongue if you take Armenian GL+lezu as the roots.
Speaking in tongues, also known as glossolalia (Greek: γλωσσολαλία), is an activity or practice in which people utter words or speech-like sounds. One definition used by linguists is the fluid vocalizing of speech-like syllables that lack any readily comprehended meaning. Some believe it to be a divine language unknown to the speaker. Last but not least is the word Lezu in Ancient Armenian which suggests the Greek Glossa without the G.
Existing etymology offers the following for Glossa (γλῶσσα) they say it is a Greek word meaning "tongue" or "language", used in several English words including gloss, glossary, glossitis, and others. Then the English word tongue, for a diversion which derives from the Old English tunge, which comes from Proto-Germanic *tungōn It has cognates in other Germanic languages—for example tonge in West Frisian, tong in Dutch and Afrikaans, Zunge in German, tunge in Danish and Norwegian, and tunga in Icelandic, Faroese and Swedish.
In passing it is worth pointing out that etymology takes no account of the fact that both the words 'language' and 'lingual' are metonyms of the word 'tongue,' and that the Ng nasal 'ngue' is the prominent root in all three words. Let us ask why the NG a prime glottalic is doing in the word 'tongue.' whoever and wherever it came from.
Sacred sounds are found in the form of mantras, seed words, chants, duas. The practice of chanting, it is agreed has also a healing power. These sounds are said to be sacred for they put us in touch with cosmic rhythms/vibrations, are chanted in many different forms by many different orders. For example, sophisticated Gregorian chants which are prayers in the form of psalms. It is agreed that through chanting one can stay in communion with the OneAll, the supernatural and ones own sub-conscious the. Repeating some chants can open up your heart and ease your mind, not to mention stimulate your chakras and energize your senses. For example an invocation, is a calling or sounding out, it is an act of supplication, asking for something earnestly or humbly. Mantras have their origin from the primordial sound OM which is said to be the sound of creation. The sages or the seers who visit and revisit these mantras do so to gain in wisdom, the wisdom it seems is to unearth the science behind these mantras. An incantation or a series of sounds or words sounded out as in a magic spell or charms are used to invoke a deity or a supernatural. A benediction, is an utterance of a blessing, especially at the end of a religious service like 'amen' the last word, or for example 'lord, now let me depart in peace. Duas allow the practitioner to be one with God, and we can find their use in every religion. For Muslims, it is an act of worship in which we ask Allah for His forgiveness and mercy, to grant us His favors and answer our requests an example of a dua is Allahu Akbar.
Sounds sacred, or any form of formalized sound transcends humans and helps them feel they connect with a higher entity. The use of sound has been practiced in many cultures and religions for ages for sound helps to define and improve spiritual state and helps make 'connections.' Several religions are intricately woven with the concept of sacred sounds and many significant religious rituals rely on the use of them. The idea of sacred sounds exists in many religious traditions, Tantric and Yogic philosophies, classical music, and other theologies and faiths.
Chants are rhythmical and repetitious sounds, or syllables or even words. When they are sounded aloud, as they have been since the beginning of time in various spiritual cultures it has been to evoke various spiritual concepts.

Mantras come in many forms or vibrations or repetition of sounds. According to a research mantras can oxygenate the brain, reduce blood pressure and heart rate, calm brainwave activity, and help resist external mental disturbances. The National Center for Biotechnology Information recognize 'OM' as the elemental chant that offers physiological rest and mental alertness and the University of Hong Kong has offered that chanting has a positive effect on the person, subsiding emotions such as stress and fear.
We find a lot said regarding the scientific benefits of sacred sounds, but we find nothing regarding the probability that the originators of structured syllabic speech/sounds would have favored sounds that are easy to distinguish even if difficult to pronounce.
Omni is a word-forming element meaning "all," from Latin omni-, combining form of omnis "all, every, the whole, of every kind," a word of unknown origin. As for Amen, it is popular among some theosophists, proponents of Afrocentric theories of history, and adherents of esoteric Christianity is the conjecture that amen is a derivative of the name of the Egyptian god Amun Imn, which is also spelled Amon or Amen (biblical) Jesus, Son of God, as the authority or "so be it; may it be done."
The name Amun (written imn) meant something like "the hidden one" or "invisible". Amun rose to the position of tutelary deity of Thebes after the end of the First Intermediate Period, under the 11th Dynasty. As the patron of Thebes,Some adherents of Eastern religions believe that amen shares roots with the Hindu Sanskrit word Aum. Such 'external' etymologies are not included in standard etymological reference works and they stubbornly insist that Amen is a Hebrew word in origin and offer as proof the irrelevant fact that Amen starts with aleph, while the Egyptian name begins with a yodh as in Yamen or Yamon or Yemen which sources claim that is related to yamn or yumn, meaning "felicity" or "blessed."
Hierarchical clustering is a popular method for grouping objects. It creates groups so that objects within a group are similar to each other and different from objects in other groups. Clusters are visually represented in a hierarchical tree called a dendrogram.
Paralinguistics are the aspects of spoken communication that do not involve words.
Phonetics is the study of the production and perception of speech sounds, and phonology concerns the study of more complex and 'abstract' sound patterns and structures like syllables, intonation, etc. A phone is a speech segment that possesses distinct physical or perceptual properties and serves as the basic unit of phonetic speech analysis. A phoneme is a set of allophones and allophones are individual speech sound segments.
Nasalized sounds are sounds whose production involves a lowered velum and an open oral cavity, with simultaneous nasal and oral airflow. Almost all known languages have nasal phonemes, which are among the first sounds acquired by children. Processes of nasalization have informed phonological theory, in particular, nonlinear approaches and work on the interface between phonetics and phonology.
All textbooks on phonetics and phonology contain at least some discussion of nasals and nasalization. A classic phonetics textbook is Ladefoged 1982. Silverman 2017 is a recent phonology textbook that contains a detailed description of the articulatory and acoustic properties of nasals and relates these to their phonological patterning. A similar perspective is taken in Ohala and Ohala 1993. The best source for a cross-linguistic survey of nasals and nasalized sounds is chapter 4 of Ladefoged and Maddieson 1996, which contains a wealth of data and references. Two edited volumes that focus on nasals and nasalization are Ferguson, et al. 1975 and Huffman and Krakow 1993. Ferguson, et al. 1975 is a collection of papers that discuss various aspects of nasals and nasalization; some of the contributions are based on data from the Stanford Language Universals Project. Huffman and Krakow 1993 is a collection of state-of-the-art information on both the phonetics and the phonology of nasals and nasalization. Cohn 1993 is a useful summary of previous work on nasality and contains a database of languages with nasalization processes.
SONORANTS /ai/
In phonetics and phonology, a sonorant or resonant is a speech sound that is produced with continuous, non-turbulent airflow in the vocal tract; these are the manners of articulation that are most often voiced in the world's languages. Vowels are sonorants, as are nasals like [m] and [n], liquids like [l] and [r], and semivowels like [j] and [w]. This set of sounds contrasts with the obstruents (stops, affricates and fricatives). Syllabic consonants in most languages are sonorants, such as nasals and liquids. Very few have syllabic obstruents, such as stops and fricatives in normal words, but English has syllabic fricatives in paralinguistic words like shh! and zzz.
Paralinguistics are the aspects of spoken communication that do not involve words. These may add emphasis or shades of meaning to what people say. Some definitions limit this to verbal communication that is not words.
English has the following sonorant consonantal phonemes: /l/, /m/, /n/, /ŋ/, /ɹ/, /w/, /j/.
Old Irish had one of the most complex sonorant systems recorded in linguistics, with 12 coronal sonorants alone. Coronal laterals, nasals, and rhotics had a fortis–lenis and a palatalization contrast: /N, n, Nʲ, nʲ, R, r, Rʲ, rʲ, L, l, Lʲ, lʲ/. There were also /ŋ, ŋʲ, m/ and /mʲ/, making 16 sonorant phonemes in total
A Gnome is a legendary dwarfish creature supposed to guard the earth's treasures underground. An imaginary, very small, old man with a beard and a pointed hat, in traditional children's stories, very few people today believe in the actual existence of gnomes, garden gnome statues have kept a solid reputation for bringing good luck and serving as good luck charms. They are also thought to bring protection. The wise say that a Gnome is a person who works by using their mind, but does not talk to, and is not known by, the public. The saying is that the gnomes are in the back room are putting the finishing touches to their work and the English say disapprovingly the gnomes of Zurich regarding the powerful bankers meaning the group who own or control banks from Switzerland who control a lot of money, much of it belonging to foreign governments.
The etymology said to come into English from mid 17th century: from French, from modern Latin gnomus, a word used by Paracelsus as a synonym of Pygmaeus, denoting a mythical race of very small people said to inhabit parts of Ethiopia and India (compare with pygmy).
However the non pejorative etymology for gnome from Greek states that (γνώμη gnome, from γιγνώσκειν gignoskein "to know") is a type of saying, especially an aphorism or a maxim, designed to provide instruction in a compact form (usually in hexameter). Thus we can say that the word Gnome is a maxim designed to provide instruction and A maxim is simply an objective or subjective pedagogical principle that motivates specific actions, like say a word. According to Kant, the Logical Maxim is a principle of reason that guides rational thinking in general and scientific inquiry in particular; considered on its own, however, it does not have any metaphysical implications. Your maxim is your reason for acting. The formula of universal law therefore says that you should only act for those reasons which have the following characteristic: you can act for that reason while at the same time willing that it be a universal law that everyone adopt that reason for acting.
A Gnome therefore can be said to be a precept, a maxim, a posit, an accepted truth, a general truth, a dictum, a truism, a principle, a proposition, a postulate, an adage or an aphorism.

There are many popular mantras that are used in yoga or religious practices. Mantras are found in almost every language, including Hindi, Latin, Hebrew, English, and more. Moving away from simple sounds, we see that even the name Jesus Christ is chanted as in a sacred sound that can be repeated. The Jews recite Barukh atah Adonai. The Sacred syllable Om or Aum is seen to represent the source of the entire universe. For example, the Om Jai Jagadish Hare is a very popular Hindu prayer. Similarly ‘Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me’ is another very popular prayer for repentance and mercy.
Like the sages and seers who visit and revisit the mantras to gain in wisdom, the wisdom to unearth the science behind each syllable, I decided to spend time chanting or sounding aloud, rhythmical and repetitiously the sounds /mn/ the prefix of the word 'man,' and the etymology of the word 'man' made up of the nasals /mn/ is for 'mind' and /tr/ the suffix, for transcend. This word is borrowed from Sanskrit, that explains that a mantra, iis literally an “instrument of thought”, which comes from Proto-Indo-Arian *mántram, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *mántram, from Proto-Indo-European *mén-tro, where *men- (“to think”) is taken as a doublet of the word mind, for this 'instrument' has the ability or power to aid ones mind into a deep state of concentration, a state of meditation, to go beyond the range or limits of the conceptual sphere. I believe that all human elemental sounds, phonetic sounds, were seen and should be recognized as universal resonances. Many forms of the primordial sound are recited in different religions, Hum by the Tibetans, Ameen by Muslims, and Amen by the Christians brings me to the question as to why I can't find anything anywhere regarding the unique nasal root sound /mn/, not even under sacred sounds anywhere, for as I show below /mn/ gives life to many many different sacred words across the broad Indo-European language family.
Linguistic study goes back at least as far as fifth century B.C.E. to an Indian scholar named Panini, who recorded the rules of Sanskrit grammar. Citizens of ancient Greece also studied language structure in order to strengthen understanding. The origin of language is under debate as evidence of languages before writing is almost impossible to find.
The shortage of direct, empirical evidence has caused many scholars to regard the entire topic as unsuitable for serious study. Various hypotheses have been developed about how, why, when, and where language might have emerged. Still, little more has been universally agreed upon by 1996 than over a century and a half ago, when Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection had provoked a surge of speculation on the topic. Since the early 1990s, however, a number of linguists, archaeologists, psychologists, anthropologists, and others have attempted to address this issue with new, modern methods.

Charles Darwin wrote "I cannot doubt that language owes its origin to the imitation and modification, aided by signs and gestures, of various natural sounds, the voices of other animals, and man's own instinctive cries." I would go along with that statement with the following changes. " I cannot doubt that communication owes its origin to the imitation and modification, aided by signs and gestures, of natural sounds, and voices of animals, and mans own instinctive cries, however I must add that I believe that language owes its origin to the unique ability of human sounds phonetics, to place phonemsin categories and differentiate one phone from another, creating distinct differentiating sounds for communicating or transmiting information. Anything that a human can hear can be reproduced in spoken language. Much of human language is performed using the vocal tract and auditory channel. Hockett viewed this ability as an advantage for human primates because it allowed for the ability to participate in other activities while simultaneously communicating through spoken language. Humans have total feedback for a speaker can hear themselves speak and monitor their speech production and internalize what they are producing by language. Human language sounds are specialized for communication. When cats Hiss it is to warn an intruder tbut when humans speak, it is to transmit information.
Semantics is the key for a specific signals can be matched with a specific meaning even though there is no limitation to what can be communicated about and no specific or necessary connection between the sounds used and the message being sent. Humans can refer to things in space and time and communicate about things that are not present.
Productivity is key for humans can create new and unique meanings from previously existing sounds and even meaningless phonic segments (phonemes) are combined to make meaningful words, which, in turn, are combined again to make sentences and all acquisition depends on the learning.
I feel intuitively that /mn/ should have a history the length of my arm, it should in the least be recognized in phonetics as having universal resonance. MN is an elemental union of two nasal primordial sounds. Sounding out an energy-based sound or a combination of two sounds or words with meaning, creates vibrations on the physical level. This creates thought-energy waves, and your body vibrates in rhythm with that energy.
Speech sounds have both perceptual (how one hears them) and articulatory (how one produces them) properties, all with continuous values. Speakers who are not formally trained tend to minimize effort, favoring ease of articulation over clarity. (G to K, B to P, D to T) and listeners do the opposite, favoring sounds that are easy to distinguish even if difficult to pronounce. Since speakers and listeners are constantly switching roles, the syllable systems actually found in the world's languages turn out to be a compromise between acoustic distinctiveness on the one hand, and articulatory ease on the other. (The disease of language)
The neuro-linguistic effects of rhythmic mantras, like sounds with no meaning, have been recognized in the realm of science, however the research has been limited to the benefits of chants that do not need meaning. Each chant has its own punctuation, pause, length, notation, and force and when approached conscientiously the practice will help the chanter transcend the physical and be in touch with the spiritual, or become mindless at best.
As for the meanings if any of the sacred sounds that are being used to guide the novice, one has to go to the original mentor or scribe who has created the mantra, otherwise for the novice to reach their spiritual and mental goal might be difficult. On the other hand it would be fair to say that the listener need not know the meaning of a musical composition to have transcendental experience, and feel they have connected with a higher metaphysical entity. The Psycho-linguistic effect of sounds that can be used to practice meditation, visualization, or devotion. Language or in this case first sound then word production is the production of spoken language. Psycho-linguistics in this paper describes the stage between having a concept to express and creating the words to express that concept iin linguistic form.
The Corsini Encyclopedia of Psychology and Behavioral Science states that the physiological benefits of mantra repetition include lowered levels of tension, decreased blood pressure, and increased alpha wave production.
When you regularly listen to sounds, they help regulate your blood pressure, brain waves, heart rate, and the level of adrenaline in your body. However be aware that every mantra or chant has a specific effect thus meaning and purpose. So, be mindful when selecting one sound over another when formulating words to chant whosoever you wish to communicate with.

Breathing appropriately is an essential part of chanting any sound word or sentence, sacred or not. The practice of focusing on your breathing will naturally synchronize with the chant’s rhythm and the mantra.
Incorporate these sounds into your construct for they will synchronize your body, breath, mind, and voice, which enhances the effectiveness of the process and boosts spiritual awakening thus communication.

HYMN: Ancient Eastern hymns include the Egyptian Great Hymn to the Aten, composed by Pharaoh Akhenaten; the Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal; the Rigveda, an Indian collection of Vedic hymns; Etymology from Polyhymnia's name which comes from the Greek words "poly", meaning "many", and "hymnos", which means "praise" The letter shape 'H' was originally used in most Greek dialects to represent the voiceless glottal fricative IPA: [h]. In this function, it was borrowed in the 8th century BC by the Etruscan and other Old Italic alphabets, which were based on the Euboean form of the Greek alphabet. This also gave rise to the Latin alphabet with its letter H. Dionysius Thrax in the second century BC records that the letter name was still pronounced heta (ἥτα), correctly explaining this irregularity by stating "in the old days the letter Η served to stand for the rough breathing, as it still does with the Romans." YMN, Y=Soul & MN = Chant. Uppercase Υ, lowercase υ; Greek: ύψιλον ýpsilon or ypsilon is the twentieth letter of the Greek alphabet. The name of the letter was originally just "υ" (y; also called hy, hence "hyoid", meaning "shaped like the letter υ"), this changed to "υ-ψιλόν" u -psilon ' to distinguish it from the sound 'οι,' which had come to have the same [y] pronunciation. Y is a conventional name for the historical Greek alphabet letter Eta (Η) and several of its variants, when used in their original function of denoting the consonant /h/.
Polyhymnia (/pɒliˈhɪmniə/; Greek: Πολυύμνια, lit. 'the one of many hymns'), alternatively Polymnia (Πολύμνια), was, in Greek mythology, the Muse of sacred poetry, sacred hymn, dance and eloquence, as well as agriculture and pantomime.
The Western tradition of hymnody begins with the Homeric Hymns, a collection of ancient Greek hymns, the oldest of which were written in the 7th century BC, praising deities of the ancient Greek religions. Surviving from the 3rd century BC is a collection of six literary hymns (Ὕμνοι) by the Alexandrian poet Callimachus. The Orphic hymns are a collection of 87 short
poems in Greek religion. It was Patristic writers who began applying the term ὕμνος, still hymnus in Latin, to Christian songs of praise, and frequently used the word as a synonym for "psalm".
Omni is a word-forming element meaning "all," from Latin omni-, combining form of omnis "all, every, the whole, of every kind," a word of unknown origin.
