Abstract This article explores the linguistic and historical significance of the inscription "ΑΠΟΛ" (APOL) on ancient Apollonia coins, revealing a profound connection with the Albanian language. Introduction Ancient Apollonia, situated in present-day Albania, was a thriving city in Illyria. Coins minted during this period bear the enigmatic inscription "ΑΠΟΛ" (APOL), sparking curiosity among linguists and historians. Phonetic Analysis "APOL" can be phonetically divided into - "A" from Gegnishte, meaning "to be" in the third singular person (is) - "PO" from "*Bho" (to do, to make), symbolizing the core concept of "making" (B>P) - "L(e)" indicating connection with birth (movement) Etymological Connection to Albanian The Albanian verb "*pjell" (to give birth) holds the key to understanding "APOL." In the past tense, "*pjell" becomes "*polla," eerily resembli...

Mickel and mickle. The Northern Scottish saying "Many a mickle makes a muckle" has long puzzled linguists, who have struggled to pinpoint the origins of the words "mickle" and "muckle". While some have suggested that "mickle" is a corruption of "muckle", implying a shared root, a closer examination of the Albanian language reveals a more nuanced story. In Albanian, "mickël" (small thing, trifle) and "madhe" (large, great) are two distinct words with different meanings. This challenges the prevailing view that "mickle" is a variant of "muckle", instead suggesting that they have separate etymological paths. And 'muckle' is apparently a phonetic variation of the word 'madhe' in the Albanian language, which linguists think comes from Proto-Indo-European *m̥ǵh₂yós, from *méǵh₂s. Further investigation reveals that the Albanian language has retained ancient words and meanings, potentially...

The widely accepted etymology of "Pan" from ancient "Greek" πᾰν- (pan-), combining the form of πᾶς (pâs, "all, every"), is a misconception. In reality, ancient "Greek" is none other than Albanian "pa an", meaning "without sides" or "boundless". This concept, stolen from the Albanian language, was technologicalized or interpreted as "all" or "everything" by medieval church priests and attributed to Ancient Greek. The concept of "pa an" represents something without a beginning or end, challenging traditional notions of boundaries and limitations. The semantic connection between "sides" and "beginning" and "end" lies in the idea of borders, where sides mark the starting point or end of something. Conversely, something without sides implies a lack of borders or boundaries, suggesting infinity and limitlessness. This idea of "sidelessness" encompasses n...

The Greek accounts of Egyptian and Illyrian origins for the words "Varka" and "Lembi" respectively, prompt an intriguing exploration of linguistic and cultural exchange. The Simito-Phoenician-Egyptian language, potentially belonging to the Pelazgo-Indo-European branch, reveals a fascinating connection with the Albanian language. In ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, the iconic representation of the Varka or Barka features a belly-like shape, mirroring a bird's belly. This symbolic convergence suggests that the Egyptians employed the same term for belly, stomach, and boat. Remarkably, Albanian retains the word "Bark" for both Belly and Boat, unlike "Latin" languages and "Greek". The evolution of "barka" to "Varkë" in Albanian can be attributed to semantic classification, differentiating words with distinct meanings. However, various Albanian dialects still use "Barkë", echoing the connection to "vaar...

In the realm of linguistics, unexpected connections often reveal the complexities of human language and culture. A fascinating case in point is the similarity between Albanian and Ahmaric, a non-Indo-European language. The Ahmaric word ቁልቁል k'ulik'uli, meaning "downhill", bears a striking resemblance to the Albanian verb "ul", which encompasses a range of meanings including: - to sit down, put (someone/something) on a seat (or on the ground) - to lower, put down - to bend, tilt down - to seat; land an airplane - to decrease, reduce, diminish - to close This phenomenon raises intriguing questions about the linguistic relationships between Albanian and non-Indo-European languages. Is it possible that Albanian, often considered an Indo-European isolate, shares a deeper connection with languages like Ahmaric? The Academy of Tirana and Pristina, along with other linguistic institutions, must investigate this further to determine the validity of the Nostratic hypo...

Introduction The Albanian verb "kap" (catch) has long fascinated linguists due to its origins. The Albanian verb "kap" is believed to come from proto-Albanian "kapa", which in turn comes from proto-Indo-European (PIE) "kap", with the form and meaning of "kap" in Albanian being unique among Indo-European languages This etymological connection highlights the significance of the Albanian language in understanding the evolution of Indo-European languages. The preservation of the proto-PIE "kap" in Albanian, with its distinct meaning and form, offers a valuable window into the language's ancient roots. While some assume a non-Indo-European origin, a closer examination reveals a rich history rooted in primitive human activities. This article delves into the archeological, historical, linguistic, and grammatical aspects of "kap", tracing its evolution and connections to early human language. Let's dive deeper into t...

Thermopylae. The word 'Thermopylae,' synonymous with bravery and sacrifice, holds a secret. Its etymology reveals a fascinating connection to the Albanian language, specifically the word 'byll,' meaning 'to close, shut, seal'. This linguistic thread weaves together the geography and history of the region, inviting us to explore the deeper significance of this ancient name. The Albanian root 'byll' (to close, shut, seal) is the foundation, with the adjective form 'byllun' describing something that is closed or restricted. This adjective form 'byllun' is the key to understanding the etymological connection to 'Thermopylae'. The narrow passage of Thermopylae, wedged between steep cliffs and the Gulf of Lamia, was a natural bottleneck, allowing only one chariot to pass at a time. The etymology of the word 'Thermopylae' reflects this characteristic, suggesting that the original name referred to a place that was 'closed, sea...

The Derived Etymologies of 'Able': A Big Lie? The English word 'able' means having the power, ability, means, or opportunity to do something. Interestingly, its definition mirrors the etymology of the English verb 'to do,' which is eerily similar to the Albanian verb 'e bej' (to do). This connection is not mere coincidence; it's a testament to the shared linguistic roots of English and Albanian. Conventional etymology claims that 'able' comes from Latin 'habilism,' 'habilis,' and the verb 'habere,' meaning 'to hold.' However, this explanation is flawed, as it relies on a weak semantic connection between 'able' and 'hold.' In contrast, the Albanian verb 'bëj' (to do, make) has a direct and robust connection with the meaning of 'able.' The development of 'able' can be traced back to the Albanian phrase 'E BEI ​​' (I can do it), where the transformation from 'i...

Contrary to popular linguistic theories, the word 'odeon' originates from the Geg Albanian language, not ancient Greek.  By deconstructing 'odeon' into its components, we uncover a profound connection to the Albanian language. - 'O' represents the object's form and the third-person singular verb 'O' (is) in Geg Albanian. - 'DE' signifies half-form, derived from 'DA' (split, divided), with A>E transformation. - 'ON' denotes the accusative form of the name 'O,' exclusive to Albanian. This etymology reveals that 'ODEON' describes the building's shape – a split, half O, or semicircular form, characteristic of ancient theaters and music halls. Philosophically, this challenges the dominant narrative of linguistic borrowing and highlights the importance of reevaluating etymological assumptions. The unique characteristics of the Albanian language provide a rich foundation for understanding its words' true o...

By Fatmir Iliazi and Alban Xhafa The Primordial 'GRR' Sound: Unveiling the Albanian Roots of Language and Writing The 'GRR' sound, present in Albanian words like 'GRRvish' (scratch), 'GRRyej' (scrape), 'GRRmoj' (dig), 'GRRic' (throat), and 'GRRthas' (snore, grunt), holds a profound significance. Its anomotopeic origin suggests a primal, expressive quality, transcending direct meaning. This sound's transformation into 'scr' in ancient Greek, Latin and English words like 'scratch' reveals a phonetic evolution, bridging languages and cultures. The 'GRR' sound, is rooted in the natural world, echoes the sounds of scratching, scraping, and digging, mirroring the primal forces of nature. This phonetic echoism, where words imitate the sounds of their meaning, underscores the organic origins of language. The 'GRR' sound, present in Albanian words like 'GRRvish' (scratch), 'GRRyej' (scrap...

Magnet. The word 'magnet' has a fascinating history, and its origins are deeply rooted in the Albanian language. The term 'magnet' comes from the primordial words of the Albanian language, specifically from the Geg Albanian dialect. The prefix 'me' (with) combined with the verb 'gnit' (to glue, adhere) creates the infinitive form 'me gnit', which is the source of the word 'magnet'. Interestingly, the region of Thessaly in Greece is where magnetized ore was first obtained, and the figurative sense of 'something that attracts' emerged in European languages in the 1650s. However, in Albanian, this concept has been present since the word's creation. The origin of this word also reveals a significant historical connection.  The people who historically belonged to the region of Thessaly, and were removed from there after the Ottoman Empire fell, were Albanians. This linguistic and cultural heritage highlights the deep roots of the A...
