The etymology of the Albanian Cham dialect "bedhé" (down) and its connections to ancient Greek.

Albanian language is a fascinating language.

Exploring only the etymology of the Albanian Cham dialect word "bedhé" (down) gives you the connections to ancient Greek language but what it more important how the word was created.

I am delving into the roots of words like "dhê" (earth/ground), "bedhé"(down), "përdhe" (down), and "mbërdhe" (in/at the ground). My analysis highlights the complex and intriguing history of the Albanian language!

It's a delight to follow the Albanian linguistic journey!

The simple problem from today's etymologies is the semantics. The other languages do not show any semantic conection between the concept down and earth/ground. Down means toward or in a lower place or position, especially on the ground and that is how the word "bedhé" of the Albanian language is created. This semantic conection is missing in allmost all Europian languages.

There is a complex and intriguing history of the Albanian language!

The standard Albanian language was decided by the linguists of the communist system on 1972.

Why didn't the Albanian standard choose the Cham Albanian dialect word "bédhe" for the word "poshtë" (down)?
I think because the Cham Albanian word shows how an anxient Albanian language word was created and shows the origin of the ancient "Greek" ποδός (poús, podós) as well

The modern linguists connect ποδός with the leg, but the Albanian says that it is connected with dhé (earth, ground).

Dhé is the source of Ancient Greek δῆ (dê, “earth”) as well. They have the same form and the same meaning

The Albanian language word "dhê" explaines the origjin of δῆ (dê) and "bédhé" and explains also the origin ποδός as from bédhe "on the ground", down there is the ground, where the ground is touched where the other forms "perdhe" and "mbrëdhe"

përdhe

What does përdhe‎ mean?

From për- ("for") + dhe ("soil, ground, earth").

And "mbërdhe" a compound of mbë (“in, at”) +‎ dhe (“ground”).

The Greek word podos comes from the old Albanian word bèdhe.

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. Heiser, PhD candidate, Department of Hebrew and Semitic Studies , University of Wisconsin...

Word creation. The "D" letter origin and the "D" pictogram rule of the word creation.

In this article I will cover the origin of the letter D letter, and the pictogram concept of the word creation. It was my first discovery of the word creation. In this blog I will give my discoveries, the rules of word creation of the European languages. Multiple theories exist as to how language first originated. Nobody is sure which one is true. Certified Translations Get Pricing Order Translation What is the Oldest Language in the World? There are over 7,000 languages in the world. Could there have been a time on the earth that we all spoke one language? If so, what is the oldest language in the world? So what was the first language? Discovering the first language that people spoke is difficult because so many languages died and were considered lost in history. However, ancient languages still survive until today; these languages may have been transformed a lot but their old origins may be traceable. Written languages existed but this does n...

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 sid...
