Pearl of Great Price PN 1. FLOEESE the Moon, Earth, and Sun in annual revolutions (Book of Abraham facsimile 2:5); in the Times & Seasons Flo-ees-Flos-is-is, as “the moon passing between her [the Earth] and the sun” (T&S, IV:373, Nov 13, 1843), and Phelps & Parrish:

"Flo-ees: The Moon–signifying its revolutions, also going between, thereby forming an eclipse. Flos-isis: The sun in its affinity with Earth and Moon–signifying their revolutions showing the power, the one has with the other."[1]

Possibly hypothetical Egyptian *prw-is(i), “come-and-go; orbit, revolve,” or the like (cf. Psalm 12:8, Deuteronomy 28:6, Acts 9:28, etc.). Note the horns and disk (moon and sun) on Hathor-Isis, as she goes forth in her prt, “epiphany, coming forth, heliacal-rising,” as Sothis-Spdt (“Sirius”), with the annual rising of the Nile and the beginning of the new year in May-June, leading to full Inundation by September (Abraham 1:24). Her prt is her “power of resurrection” as well as her appearance by “procession,”[2] formed from pri, “manifest, reveal;[3] come out, burst forth, be issued; go up, ascend,” and nominal forms such as prw, “motion, procession; outcome, result,” pr, “emergence,” and prt, “fruit, seed” (cognate with Hebrew פרה para, פרי peri; cf. Isaiah 11:1 יצא yaṣa “come-forth” ∥ פרה para “grow” = 2 Nephi 21:1). Cf. possible variation here on Prt-Spdt (Sothis), e.g., *prt-Зst, “Epiphany-of-Isis; Coming-forth-of-Isis; Ascent-of-(the goddess)-St,” or the like (as Neith also[4]). In each case, the final -t- is silent (Aramaic אסי, Coptic -ēse, Greek –ēsis, ʼIsi-, ʼIsis, are later forms strikingly like the termination of Floeese and its variants,[5] as well as the “medium” named Kli-flos-is-es, which see).

See the extended discussion at KOLOB for the astonishing astrophysics of the newly-discovered intergalactic cosmic web and filaments.

Variants: Floese, Flos-isis, Flo-ees, Floisis, Flo-ees-Flos-is-is.
