Most of these words have been sufficiently explained elsewhere. See: Teuton, Germany

“Ton,” is a Teutonic word, although in 1881 CE it did not exist in Germany. Some writers claim the word Ton can be used to determine which areas became [invaded, occupied and] settled by Anglo-Saxons. In the European isles there are thousands of place names based on tons, tuns, and duns, with over 600 in Ireland alone. In England and Wales, names ending in “Ton” formed nearly one-fourth of the whole, being 2,545 in number.

Truth is, the Tun, Ton, Tem, Den and Dom, to name a handful, are words from a stage earlier than current-day Germans, Angles, Saxons, Anglo-Saxons or Romans. These newcomers were not familiar with these words, therefore could not have used them so profusely in Europe. Egyptian will tell us what the Tun was.
The Tun existed before there was any sense of possession in land that could be enclosed. In Egyptian the Tun is a region, an elevated seat, a throne. This exists in our Downs (English), the high and still most unenclosed of places. In the so-called “Danes’ Graves” found on the Yorkshire wolds [high open land], where many tumuli (burial mounds) are to be seen, the word Danes is a form of Tuns. The Downs (Tuns) were the judgment seats of the Druids (Truits), like the Tynwald Hill of the Manxmen. The Tun as high place is found on the Downs, as are the two Gaddesdens. Although the Downs were the high places, “down’’ came to mean “below” because the tun, den, or tomb, represented the underworld, where the dead went down at whatever height it opened. The tun, ton, or town, as the enclosure of the living and of property in land, is the final form, not the first; the Roman, not the Egyptian or Druidic. Tun or ton is far older than town, hence the reversionary tendency to the older formation in pronouncing the word town. The ton did not denote a town when it was the Cornish name of a farmyard.
Tyntagel is the Tun or elevated seat on a rock. Dynas Emrys was a Druidicial Tun-As in Snowdon, the lofty seat of the gods. The Zulu Donga (Tun-ka) is a division or cutting in the land, but with no necessary sense of enclosing a property. One of the most primitive forms of the Tun was the Cornish Dynas or fort, a simple entrenchment with stones piled twelve feet high. The Dyn is the high seat, and “As” (Egyptian) is the house, chamber, tomb, the secreting place. The barrows and burial-places of the dead are found near these forts, as if the first places of defense were built to protect the dead. To all appearance the first property claimed in land and right of enclosure was on behalf of the dead.
The first Tun as an enclosure of land is the tomb. One hieroglyphic Tun is the determinative of a tomb, and Tun in this sense means to be cut off, separated. The Teen (Chinese) is a grave; Than (Chinese) is a shroud; Tuna (Zulu Kaffir) a grave; Tanu (New Zealand) to bury; Dun (French Romance) a sepulcher ; Den (English) grave.

In English, Scotch, Welsh, Irish, Gaelic, Manx, French Romance, Biscayan, Lusatian, Old Persian, Chinese, Coptic, Tonquinese, Phrygian, and other languages, the Dun or Tun is the hill, the summit found in the Egyptian TUN, the elevated seat. Irish philologists understand the Ton (or Thone) to signify the same as the Latin Podex, but the seat is primarily feminine and mystical, the Mons Veneris, the Hes of Isis, the Khep of Khept or Ked, extant in the Irish Ceide or Ready, for the hill as the burial place.
Ten and Tem permute; the Tem (dumb, negative) are the dead, and the temple is also the house of the dead. So with us the Tun and Tom are interchangeable as names of the burial-ground. The Tom (Gaelic), is a grave; Tom (Welsh), a tumulus; Tuaim (Irish) a grave; Toma (Maori) a place where the dead are laid. The Tema (Egyptian) was also a fort, a place of defense. Grave mounds in England were natural forts called Temau. The word Tem (Egyptian) also means to announce and pronounce. The Tem as the seat of the singer agrees with the plural Temau (Egyptian) for choirs.
Druid Bards, as the Asi or Hesi, made the announcements of the law that came from the Seat. [These ton decreers were early forms of the town crier] The As, the seat of rule and sovereignty was also a mote or mound (which was the seat of justice) and the resting-place of the dead. [thus justice comes through the dead also, not just the living]

Thus the Tom is the tumulus and the tomb, the seat of sanctity, defended as a Tem or fort or watch tower, used also as a mount of justice or a mote.. The Hem sign, which is also the Han, is the symbol of the seat or home on the water, and denotes a water-frontier. The Hemu (Khemu) are the watermen, sailors, and fishers. The Hun (Hunt, Khunt, Cunt) is the matrix, womb, birthplace, mouth, opening, outrance, entrance. This permutes with the Hem or Ham, the Kheft, Khem, or Skhem. All have one origin in the earliest place of birth, and were applied to the abodes of the living and the tomb of the dead, as a place of re-birth. How near to nature is the Ham as the seat is manifest in the name of the thighs. The Khem or Ham might be illustrated by a score of types, and each one can be traced to the female, and her type of types, the womb, Khem, Hem, or Ama, the primeval house and home; the KWAM (Khaling) denotes the mouth or uterus; the Quim, Din, or Khebma, who is the most ancient genitrix of Egypt and the black land. By the way, as shown throughout this weblog, A child of Ham is a darn good thing! Constant attacks against Blacks, are essentially (spiritually) surface denigrations causing more insistent elevations of principalities, rising to the occasion.
Khem is the feminine shrine, a name of Hathor (currently manifesting as the AS, the Age of Aquaria constellation, the Tun-As woke from the Tomb-As to fight the Dumb Ass), the habitation KlMA (Arabic) house, home; Kam, or KlM (Dumi), the home; Chem (Tibetan) house; Khema (Swahili) a tent; Koma (Persian) straw hut. The Kam (Nupe, Susu, Basa, Doai, Ngodsin, and other African languages), is a farm; Gama (Singhalese), a village. It is here we shall find the true meaning of the Combe, the place between the thighs of hills. The Combe answers to Khebma (Khambe, Khembe, Kembe) and the Khem (Egyptian), the secret shrine, the Shut-place of Horus, the child, in which he transformed into Horus born again. Khem may be the place of the living (awake) ever-coming child (Khem), or of the dead (asleep) ever-coming child (Khema). (BB)
Thus there is the living that is living and breathing, and then there's the living that is living and awakening, being woke. Nothing is insignificant taking place among humans or elsewhere in the natural world. Everything below is a manifestation of what is taking place above and within.

So-Called European Languages

Most European languages are derived from the Gothic or the Latin.
To the Latin origin belong Italian, French, and Spanish; to the Gothic, the German, Dutch, Flemish, Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian.
The original language of Norway was that which is called the Icelandic, the purest dialect of the Teutonic or Gothic. The inhabitants now generally speak an intermediate dialect of the Teutonic, between the Danish and Swedish. The gentry (middle class) and inhabitants (lower class) of the principal towns, however, speak a purer Danish, than is usual even in Denmark.
The language of Sweden is a dialect of the Gothic, being a sister of the Danish, Norwegian, and Icelandic. The two grand divisions of the Gothic are German and Scandinavian dialects. There are many words in the Swedish which are also in the English.
The languages spoken in the Danish dominions are all sister dialects of the Gothic. (Morse: American Universal Geography, Vol II, 7th Ed)
