Very nicely done.  Thank you for the legwork.  I'll have to let you know maybe tomorrow if I agree with it all. Big Grin

As for the choice of dialectic, look to Nietzsche, I think.

For the etymology, then yeeeessss. . . kind of.  "Matter" comes ultimately from mater (mother), but this is through French/Latin words for wood (i.e. the material in a tree).  I don't know how they got from "mother" to "wood," though.
