Normally taken to be 'word' in greek, Heidegger uses logos like Heraclitus, the common being of all things.


To show forth


Normally 'truth' in Greek, Heidegger breaks the word down to a-letheia -- un-hidden.


Unhiddenness of things


Doing


Bringing to light


How they behave


Too be hidden


They forget it
