The 'Kri' Connection: Unveiling the Albanian Concept of Leadership

Orel's claim that the Albanian word "kreshnik" (hero, fighter) comes from Serbian, derived from a word meaning "border", is a misguided attempt at etymology. As a Slavist, Orel is expected to prioritize Slavic languages, but this approach neglects the true origins of the word. Instead of providing a meaningful etymology, Orel relies on comparative linguistics, focusing on form rather than semantics. To understand the word's origin, Orel should have explored the etymology of "kreshnik" within the Serbian language, rather than simply providing its meaning. This oversight prevents a deeper understanding of the word's archaic roots and its embodiment of physical and functional qualities. Furthermore, Orel fails to recognize the classical group B Z B or B B Z, crucial for understanding the word's formation. The Albanian word "kreshnik" is closely related to "Kre-Kry-Kreu", meaning "head" or "top", conveyin...

The Language Archaeologist: Unearthing the Secrets of Albanian

The Albanian words "*Kal" (horse) and the verb "kaloj" (pass), both convey movement. The presence of the letter "L" in these words seems to be the key to unlocking their code. "Ka L" (to have L) and "Ba L" (to make L) are equivalent, despite the differences in prefix (G, K, or B), suggests a deeper linguistic pattern. To the English word "*leg" shares the same root. This could indicate a common ancestral language or influence. The "L" in these words might represent a fundamental concept the movement.

Numër, nji, unë dhe emër.

Gjuhëtarët kanë besuar prej kohësh se fjala shqipe për "numër" rrjedh nga latinishtja "numerus". Megjithatë, një shqyrtim më i afërt i sistemit numerik të gjuhës shqipe dhe fjalëve të tjera të lidhur me këtë koncept nxjerr në pah një etimologji unike dhe magjepsëse. Numërimi dhe koncepti i "I"-së dhe "U(në)"-së Në gjuhën shqipe. Në shqipe, fjala për "një" është "nji" dhe "i" në gjuhën Gegnisht, që përfaqëson një njësi të vetme në numrat dhe "U" (në) në Çamërisht që përfaqëson një njësi të vetme për njerezit. Ky koncept dualizues "I"-së dhe "U"-së është qendror në sistemin e numrave shqip dhe peremrave vetore, ku çdo "i" ose përemri "U" përfaqëson një gjë të vetme. Për shembull, numri një do të përfaqësohej nga një "I" ndërsa përemri i vetes se parë njëjës nga një "U" (Unë në standart) Sistemi shqip i numërimit dhe peremrave vetore është unitar, ...

The Etymology of "Number" in the Albanian Language: A New Perspective

Linguists have long believed that the Albanian word for "number" derives from the Latin "numerus". However, a closer examination of the Albanian language's numerical system reveals a unique and fascinating etymology. Counting and the Concept of "I" In Albanian, the word for "one" is "nji" and "i" in Geg Albanian language, which represents a single unit or "I". This concept of "I" is central to the Albanian numbering system, where each "I" represents a single thing. For example, the number eleven would be represented by a series of 11 "I"s. The Albanian numbering system is unitary, based on the concept of "I", and uses a combination of fingers and hands to represent numbers. The positions of the fingers on the hands are used to give meaning to their numbers, with each finger representing a single "I". Archaeological Evidence The archaeological discoveries in the Ba...

Uncovering the Albanian Roots of Latin: A Linguistic Analysis of 'Protegere

The Latin word "Protegere" is commonly believed to derive from "pro" (before) and "tegere" (cover). However, a closer examination reveals a more complex etymology rooted in the Albanian language. The Albanian phrase "Te že" (meaning "covers") shares a striking similarity with the Latin "tegere". The Albanian verb "že" (covers) exhibits a phonetic shift from "G" to "Z", a common phenomenon in Albanian linguistics. This etymological connection suggests that the Latin "tegere" may have borrowed from Albanian. Furthermore, the Latin "pro" can be traced back to the Albanian verb "bulo" (cover) (changed to "pro" in Latin), following the phonetic rules of "b" to "p" and "l" to "r". This doubling of Albanian verbs in Latin indicates a technological transfer of linguistic concepts. The concept of protection and defense is centr...

The Albanian Earth Mother

The "enigmatic" Female Figure of Pločnik, dating back to the Neolithic period (around 5000-4500 years BC), is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Albanian people. Discovered at the archaeological site of Pločnik, near Prokuplja in southeastern Serbia, this ancient figurine offers a glimpse into the lives of the early Albanians. The region of Pločnik has been inhabited by Albanians since ancient times. However, with the arrival of Slavic tribes in the 6th century, the Albanians were pushed further south, and the territory was conquered by the Serbs. Despite this, the archaeological findings at Pločnik reveal a thriving Albanian culture, characterized by advanced trade networks, crafts, art, and metallurgy. The Female Figure of Pločnik is a remarkable example of early Albanian figurative art. The figurine features a distinctive flat, triangular face with an eagle-like nose and large eyes, complemented by braided hair.   Fatbardha Demi's research suggests that t...

Nitpicking the Past: A Linguistic Exploration

The word "nit" has a rich history, and it is connected to the Geg Albanian. The meaning of "nit" as "to stick, glue, adhere" makes sense, given the nit's tendency to attach itself to human hair. The evolution of words and their meanings across languages is a captivating topic. The fact that the English word "nit" originates from the Geg Albanian language highlights the linguistic exchange and borrowing that occurs between cultures. In Geg Albanian, the word "nit" is still used to describe the act of sticking, showcasing the language's influence on other tongues. This etymological connection adds a new layer of depth to the word "nit", demonstrating the power of language to shape our understanding of the world. Copyright © 2024 Fatmir Iliazi

The Natural Albanian Language Holds the Key to Etymological Discovery

The Albanian language, with its unique blend of ancient roots and natural expression, offers a fascinating etymological solution. The onomatopoeic word "thith" (suck) in Albanian phonetically imitates the sound of inhalation, connecting us to the primal act of breastfeeding. This natural sensory experience is echoed in the English noun "tit", which shares a common thread with "thith" in its relation to sucking and breastfeeding. Delving deeper, we find that the English "tit" originates from Middle English "tit", "titte", "tette", and Old English "tit", "titt", tracing back to Proto-West Germanic "*titt" and Proto-Germanic "*tittaz" (“teat; nipple; breast”). However, the verb "thith" (suck) is exclusive to Albanian, suggesting that European language words like "tit", "tete", "cic", and "sis" may have originated from the Albanian ...

The Mother Language: Albanian as the Origin of 'Al'-Related Words and Concepts

The Albanian word "dallgë" (wave) has long been believed to be borrowed from Ottoman Turkish. However, a closer examination reveals a more profound connection to the Albanian language itself. The presence of the root "al" in "dallgë", as well as in other words like "vale" (wave), "plak" (old), "la" (up), "mal" (mountain), "ballë" (forehead),"glat" (tall), and "nalt" (tall, high) suggests a shared semantic meaning of "height" or "upward movement". This challenges the current etymological understanding, which neglects the Albanian language's unique contribution to the development of these words. The zafilla, or the beginning of the voice, contains four units with different meanings in Albanian, all of which indicate high physical objects, upper placement, or upper time-age limits, and all sharing the code "al". The wave, as a natural phenomenon, embodies t...

The Albanian Language's Hidden Structure

The Albanian Language's Hidden Structure The Albanian word "plak" (elder, old) holds a secret. Beneath its surface lies a network of relationships between sounds, prefixes, and suffixes, revealing a deeper structure in the language. This codical connection weaves a tapestry of meaning, waiting to be deciphered.The journey begins with "plak" and its connections to the codes A, O, or I (beginning) and the movement "L" to G (end). This trajectory hints at a profound relationship between the concepts of age and the sounds that represent them. The ending "-age" (age) is not merely a coincidence; it's a deliberate coding that echoes the Albanian "plak". The OMEGA concept, "O më G" (O on G), introduces another layer of depth. This ancient symbol, often associated with endings and circular motions, finds new meaning in the context of Albanian linguistics. Time and age, once linear concepts, become circular motions, like an ...

Beyond the Ice: The Surprising Albanian Connection to Antarctica's Name

The enigmatic continent of Antarctica has long fascinated scholars and scientists alike. However, a closer examination of its name reveals a hidden narrative, veiled by ideological linguistics. The Albanian word "AN" within "Antarctica" beckons us to explore a novel etymological path. Philosophically, the notion of "AN" (side) suggests a primordial, archaic essence. This word is juxtaposed with the Greek root ἀρκτικός, and ἄκρος (ákros) meaning "begin", which originates from the same root "κρο" as the Albanian word "kry" (head). This connection reveals a deeper semantic meaning, as "KRY" in Albanian connotes "above" or "upper" and "head". The convergence of these elements yields a profound insight: "ANAKRYE", implying an "Up Side" or "Sided above" meaning. This etymological connection sheds new light on the name "Antarctica", aligning with the cont...

The Negation of Fertility: Unpacking the Meaning of 'Ugar

The etymology of "ugar" has sparked a debate among linguists. Orel, Topalli, and Omari suggest it's borrowed from South Slavic languages, tracing it back to Proto-Slavic *ugorъ (fallow land).  However, a closer examination reveals a more complex origin. Breaking down "ugar" into "UG AR" or "UK AR" (K>G) reveals a negation of "arable land". The prefix "uk" means "not", while "ar(ë)" signifies "arable land". This etymological analysis suggests "ugar" means "not arable land" or "land that does not produce". The Albanian language holds the key to understanding "ugar". The word "ukare" or "ugar" is the opposite of "arë" (arable land), where "uk" is the negative prefix. This linguistic connection implies that South Slavic languages borrowed "ugar" from Albanian. Further evidence lies in the Serbian words for...

Fertile Ground: Unveiling the Shared Roots of Armenian, Albanian, and Ancient Languages

The Armenian word "agarak" (ագարակ), landed property; estate, reveals a profound connection with "art" (արտ) meaning "field". This relationship is strengthened by the biblical reference in Isaiah 27:4, where "garak" is used in the context of a field (καλάμην ἐν ἀγρῷ). The enumeration of dwellings or rural communities in Agat'angeɫos, which includes "agarak", suggests a broader concept of ownership over fields.  The Albanian language "Arë" (arable land) adds another layer of depth, hinting at a linguistic connection between Armenian and Albanian languages, potentially tracing back to a common origin. The connection to ancient Greek ἀγρός 'field', Latin ager m. 'field', and Sanskrit ájram 'field, simple' is notable, but the Albanian "groa" (woman) provides a crucial semantic link. The metaphorical relationship between "groa" and "ara" (field) reveals a deeper understandi...

Albanian: The Mother Tongue of Truth

The word 'object' has its roots in the Albanian phrase 'O bej kte', where 'O' symbolizes completeness and 'bej kte' means 'make this'. This etymological connection becomes clear when using the Albanian language in a scientific context. Furthermore, the Italian word 'oggetto' originates from 'O gje at(s)', meaning 'O thing', with 'at' (that) used to form the new name. Interestingly, the word 'objective' has a different root, stemming from 'o bje kte', where 'bje' means 'to beat' or 'to strike', and 'kte' refers to "this". In contrast, 'objective' has a distinct etymological root, derived from 'o bje kte', meaning 'to beat, to strike this'. In this context, 'ket' (this) Cham Albanian or "kte" (this) form of Geg Albanian refers to the target or goal towards which the action of "bje" striking is directed. These...

Unveiling the Etymological Truth: The Origins of 'Critic'

Contrary to popular belief, the word 'critic' does not come from Greek 'kriticos', meaning 'capable of making judgments', derived from 'krinein' 'to separate, decide', and the PIE root *krei- 'to sift, discriminate, distinguish'. The actual etymological truth reveals that 'critic' originates from the Geg Albanian word 'krie', meaning 'head', with roots 'kry', 'krie', and 'kreje'. This revelation challenges the current language ideology and exposes the misinterpretation of the PIE lexicon. The actions of "capable of making judgments", distinguishing, discriminating, and differentiating are indeed performed by the brain, housed within our head, making the connection to the Albanian word 'krie' unmistakable. The true etymology of 'critic' has been obscured, but the truth is now revealed, shattering the misconceptions of modern linguistics."

Unveiling the Ancient Albanian Roots: Challenging Linguistic Misconceptions.

Contrary to prevailing linguistic beliefs, the ancient Greek words ποιέω (poieo) and πονέω (poneo) have distinct meanings. Ποιέω (poieo) means 'make' or 'do', with verb forms ποιῶ (poio), ποιεῖς (poieis), and ποιεῖ (poiee). On the other hand, πονέω (poneo) exclusively meant 'work'. However, a closer examination reveals that these words are, in fact, derived from ancient Albanian. The Geg Albanian forms show a fascinating evolution: 1. The verb "to make" in all Albanian dialects: - Boj > baj > bej > bēj where o>a>e>ë.  2. Participle and adjectival form of the werb "to make" in all Albanian dialects: - Bon > ban > ber > bër (noun form, where n > r) 3. The noun form of the verb "to make" - Bon > bun > punē (work) (noun form, where o > u and b > p) These sound beginnings are unmistakably from the Albanian language, challenging the linguistic propaganda and ideology of the past two centuries. It...

Perëndesha: Uncovering the Thracian Roots of the Albanian Goddess

The Thracian bronze shin guards, dated to 400-300 BC, feature the enigmatic goddess Bendisa, whose name has undergone a fascinating transformation into the Albanian word "perëndesha" (goddess).  The etymology of Bendisa has been misattributed to a Proto-Indo-European stem *bʰendʰ-, meaning 'to join'. However, a closer examination reveals that it is, in fact, derived from the Albanian word "Bendisa", with "ben" being the adjective form of the verb "to make". Notably, in Geg Albanian, the adjective form of "to make" is "ban", while in Tosk Albanian, it is "bër". This distinction highlights the linguistic diversity within Albanian dialects, showcasing the complex evolution of the language. The phonetic transfer of "ben" to "bër" (r>n) has resulted in the modern Albanian word *perëndesha, demonstrating a remarkable example of linguistic evolution. This transformation not only highlights the...

Baking a New Trail: Albanian Language's Influence on 'Bread' and 'Bake

Vladimir Orel's etymological analysis of the Albanian word "bukë" (bread) is incorrect. He claims it derives from Latin "bucca" (mouth), but this logic is flawed. Using his etymological logic the Albanian language word "burrë" (man, husdband) comes from "burro" (donkey) of Spanish.A more accurate explanation lies in the Old Albanian verb "bhogo," which is the root of the verb "bake" and the noun "bread." The connections between languages reveal a deeper relationship: - Phrygian: Bekos or begos (bread) - Illyrian: Bagaron (warm), unclear meaning. - Armenian: Bocʿ (flame) - Latin: Focacius (kind of baked dough) from focus (fire) - Ancient Greek: Phṓgō (verb meaning roast) - Old English: Bacan (to bake) The origin of the Albanianlanguage verb "pjek"(roast) comes from Bho-Gho: - Bho (verb "do"), primordial form - Gho (harden, join), primordial form. Further connections to Albanian include: - The ...

Aperchomai: Unveiling the Albanian Origins of a Greek Word

According to Heggarty, Paul & Anderson, Cormac & Scarborough, Matthew the lexeme 'shkoj' (go) of the Albanian language has an uncertain etymology. I think ' shko " and ' go " have the same origin. Reconstructing a new language from a previous Albanian language involves analyzing word divisions, verb conjugations, and etymological connections. Let's examine the word ἀπέρχομαι (aperchomai) and its correct division: A PER KOM AI - A : prefix from Albanian "a" or "e". - PER (for): derived from Albanian "për" (for) + "bër" (to do) - KO+M : root of the verb "shkoj" (go) with sk>kh sound shift. "Me shkue" is the infinitive form of Geg Albanian language which is pronounced "me shku". First person plural in Geg Albanian is "shkuem' pronounced as "shkum". The phonetic change is 'shko>ko', " shko " is the imperative form of the Albanian language...

Rending the Veil: Asklepios, Albanian, and the Quest for Etymological Truth"

Rending the Veil: Asklepios, Albanian, and the Quest for Etymological Truth" Ἀσκληπιός, the ancient Greek god of medicine, has a name shrouded in mystery. Etymologists have long struggled to decipher its origins, with various theories proposed. However, a closer examination of the Albanian language reveals a fascinating connection. The name Ἀσκληπιός can be broken down into its constituent parts: A-SKLE-PI-OS. The formative noun ending "-ios" is a common Greek suffix, leaving us with the root "SKLE". This is where the Albanian language provides a crucial clue. In Albanian, the verb "shqyej" ," shkliej " in Cham Albanian dialect means "to tear up" or "to rend". This root " shkle " is strikingly similar to the "SKLE" in Ἀσκληπιός. Furthermore, Albanian has another verb "shkep", which shares a similar meaning. This dual presence of "shkle" and "shkep" in Albanian suggests a ...
