Hi all, been away.

I had asked a while back for translations of water, river, river mouth, that is the AE words. I can't find that post now, I think Greg or Lee answered it. I'm researching early words related to stone working, boats, water.
eg. water, wet, aqua, mar(ine) all are anciently linked between widespread languages. I think AE word was wtr.

Are aqua (akwa, ahk-wat?) or mar/mer/mor used to mean water or boat or sea in OK AE?

Regarding stone tool technology, which the OK AE were experts, were these words used?
ora ~ for rough stone core or "ore" or "raw" or "aurah"
tek ~ for chips or flakes knapped off the core. "nick", "tick", "ket"
gen ~ remaining stone tool or block or "gem" after knapping
aht/ahk ~ hammerstone or copper hammer or "tomahawk", "rock", "batu"

(Below is interpreted by me from the Aker/Akeru thread)
[Aker=earth-axe (plow)~"acre", Aker as symbol of cut (plowed-harvested) field?]
[Akeru=water-axe (boat)~"aqua", Akeru as symbol of cut (navigated) waters?]

Aker (PTs) = earth/ earth god/ horizon.
Akeru (CTs) = sky sea (Akrw), before world (in the beginning was the water?)

Any clues? Any AE links?
