  : The mesocosm is the world we experience with our senses without aid of instruments. It is the harmonious order reflected in the organization of society, art, architecture, and music. The macrocosm refers either to the universe or history as a whole. The microcosm is the microscopic or theorethically smallest world we can understand and examine with instrumentation or by analogies. In ancient philosophies human being was seen as a miniatyre (microcosm) of the macrocosm.

  : Other sensible root meaning for the cane is "bendable" and "to bind" because reed is very durable under tough bend (etymonline.com). Nevertheless several meanings of the morphed root word or syllable evolved by the use of the object in different contexts.

  : Noteworthy is the fact that other smaller reed, measuring tool or pen is called kalamos in Greek deriving from PIE root kolemo. Kalos (beautiful), kaleo (to call), kalypso (hidden), koilia (a cave, a womb) and kleis (a key) with cal'endar and cal'culation all weave an exciting net of words and their meaning together.

  : Compare coupling 6 and 7 with other numbers from a site listing numerals 1 to 10 with 5000 different languages: http://www.zompist.com/numbers.htm. One would expect 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, and 9-10 making assimilated rhyming pairs, but for some reason this formula is broken by bringing 6 & 7 together in numerous PIE-Semitic-African languages. My early hypothesis is that this is a result of the increased awareness of the geometric-mathematical relationship between those numbers in Sumerian-Indus cultures around 4000 - 2000 BC.
