Medical terms


It is very interesting how Albanian is used for creating new words, for example, the terms of the Medicine. “Vestibular-cochlear ” is created from four roots of Albanian:

#1: *Vesh is the Albanian word for ear.

#2. *Bullar is the Albanian word for a snake. *Bullar is a snake that likes to live inside the houses. In Albanian folklore, bullar was a no-venomous house snake that people used to have at home for cleaning it from rats. It was treated friendly like we treat today dogs. *Bullar was used also as a home guarder. In the south is still in use the fraise: “He sees as a bullar”. Having a bullar in house was an auspicious sign as well.

While "i bullar" is the possessive form, or the genitive of the noun *bullar. The /i/ form is a grammatical category , when it is used before a noun, with the same function that /of/ has in English. In this case the /i/ is used for stating which something belongs to. In this case the *bullar" belongs to the ear.
Another possibility of the /i/. The /i/ is used as a definite article in Albanian. *vesh 'ear', *veshi 'the ear', which is also a very interesting part of Albanian. Just adding one simple "i" at the end of the indefinite ear-noun for referring to a particular ear. If we add *bular after the definite ear, the meaning is going to be *veshibullar 'the snake of the ear'.

#3. *Kok is the Albanian word for head.

#4. *Le is the Albanian verb for leave, which came also from the same strange root, sure it is not Indo-European one, but with the specific meaning in this case "put something somewhere".

The meaning of two words /Vestibular cochlear/ :

1. Vestibular: the part of the ear like a snake, like to say in English “ear’s snake”, or 'the snake of the ear'.
2. Cochlear: put in the head.

What is written about this term?

Nephilim

N 'eh - Ph 'ih- L 'ee- M /  Nepheeleem Zacharia Sitchin (July 11, 1920 – October 9, 2010)  wrote the " Nephilim " (נְפִילִים) is derived from “nafàl" and means “fall". The term Nephilim occurs in Genesis 6:1-4, describing the point of time when three things began: men began to increase in number, came into existence the daughters of men , and the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. Is the "nephillim" really only a Hebrew word? That question is very subtle, however I think it has been more a limit of thinking for linguists rather than a serious argument. Let's begin first with the probable meaning the linguists think it is. We know that the " fall"  in every language means moving downward from a higher position involuntarily, usually by an accident, which maybe was the reason why Michael S.

Total positional tolerance at material condition

Total positional tolerance at material condition (Hole) Suppose the Ø 1.005 / 1.010 hole is inspected and there are six parts with different ID dimensions. Their actual sizes checked with run out methods give that their actual axis is to be .006” over and up from the true position even though they have different actual ID’s. We want to know which part is within true position tolerance at MMC. Parts to be acceptable require some calculation when is used the run out method.             In GD&T, maximum material condition (MMC) refers to a hole that contains the greatest amount of material.             To understand and memorize simply and logically the concept, I suppose that you have a part designed as a square with one hole in the center, Ø 1.005 / 1.010 . You have produced just 5 parts and measured their holes. The hole of part #1 is on the low side of its tolerance Ø 1.005" and the hole of part #5 is on high side of its tolerance Ø 1.010". Here is the question: W

The connection between the Albanian language and Sumerian/Akkadian

Lidhja e gjuhës shqipe me sumerishten/akadishten. Akadishtja është një gjuhë magjepsëse—gjuha më e hershme që gjuhetarët e cilësojnë gabimisht semite—që ka mbetur e pashprehur për 2000 vjet. Vetëm në 200 vitet e fundit studiuesit kanë qenë në gjendje të deshifrojnë gjuhën e lashtë falë mbishkrimeve në pllaka guri dhe balte. Në vitin 2011, Universiteti i Çikagos më në fund botoi fjalorin e tij epik në tërësinë e tij. Më bëri shumë përshtypje një nga fjalët e para të fjalorit, fjala ABALU qe do të thotë të sjellësh, të transportosh, të mbartësh, të mbash fëmijën e palindur e thënë kjo per nje grua me barrë, etj. Abalu më bëri të mendoj për fjalët shqipe 'bie', 'grua me barrë', m'bart etj. Në atë fjalë-koncept janë tre embrioforma fillistare të gjuhës shqipe dhe origjinojnë prej vetë gjuhës shqipe. Me e nda në rrokje ABALU kemi A BA LU, kuptimi i tre fjalëve të dialektit Gege dhe del shumë qartë kuptimi i lëvizjes nga vëndi, dhe si pasojë dhe lëvizjen nga një vend në
