Linguistic Archaeology: The Banshee

Wailbri is an australian aboriginal clan. In pre form, where e and i were originally ku, and a or r were ar, Wailbri is Kukuarkulbarku or coracle bark. This means Wail means coracle and to hear the banshees wail is originally to hear the banshees coracle. Banshee would be Barnshkuku or a name- Barns (family name first)-Hkuku Hkuku would now be Hei (a female korean name).

The Banshee must originate as a woman of the Barns family named Hei somewhere in eastern europe or asia. She travels in a Coracle round vessel. To hear (or perhaps look upon) her coracle is to invite death. This might mean she is a noble, cursed, a witch, or some other danger.

There are of course legends of women and boats:

• An egyptian tale of a boat builder who creates a boat of gold, and the local princess having been lured from her palace to inspect this boat, he casts off kidnapping her.
• The Arthurian Legend of the lady of shallot. Who sets off in a boat to camelot and dies on the way.
• The Japanese utsuro-bune is about a round capsule-like boat where a woman is found adrift. The capsule has strange runes (triangular, and circular implying korean) and glass windows and she is white, with red hair with tinges of white (or dust, or pony tail silk bindings).
• A Hawaiian tale of a man with woman who drift across the ocean to Hawaii.
• Naked Venus hidden in the clam shell (a coracle like structure).
