Why Robert Beekes failed on Pre-Greek

Robert Stephen Paul Beekes (Dutch: [ˈbeːkəs]; 2 September 1937 – 21 September 2017) was a Dutch linguist who was professor of comparative Indo-European linguistics at Leiden University and the author of many monographs on the Proto-Indo language. European.

Robert Beekes also worked on Pre-Greek, the language he called non-Indo-European, spoken in Greece before Greek, according to him probably around 2000 BC. Since this language was not written, Beekes took his information from many words in classical Greek that show a non-Greek structure and development.

One of these words is *ἀδάμας , whose etymology I deduced in 2014 without reading his book.

I wrote in this blog: "Do linguists know that ἀδάμας – adámas of old Greek exists in today's Albanian in the form of "pa ndam"?

When I read his book and these very words, I was stunned. How can a linguist of such a level not understand this word and its origin.

Beekes writes: "Adamas, hard metal? Diamond? Derived from *damnem, meaning indomitable, but semantically the etymology is doubtful. It is very likely a loanword adapted from folk etymology. According to Troxler and Barb, it is a loan from Semitic".

Adamas comes from the Albanian language "pa dam".

In Albanian language the word has same mening as the word undivided in English but it has plus a very specific meaning as "very close friend" so close that nobody can divide them.

The semantic meaning of ἀδάμας is "cannot be divided"

Is from:

ADAMAS=

ADAM-AS=*as is a suffix

A DAM=

A is the negative prefix that changes to the opposite meaning of "DAM" Which mean Divided.

DAM both on Geg and Cham version of Albanians means divided.

PADAM means undivided.

The Albanian language later developed the negative as "pa" , today the word it is *padame in Geg which mean undivided and *pandare in Standard.

It seems that at the time the word was recorded the negative prefix *a was the same in Albanian and Ancient greek.

It is obviously an IE word that comes from an IE language.

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
