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' (scrape), and 'GRRmoj' (dig), stems from the natural sounds of these actions, demonstrating a direct connection between language and the environment.

This natural language, born from the sounds of nature, reveals a profound relationship between human expression and the world around us. The 'GRR' sound, transformed and adapted across languages, retains its primal essence, a testament to the enduring power of nature in shaping human communication.

The earliest written letters, simple scratches on sun-dried clay disks, served as inventories, symbolizing the intersection of writing and digging. In Albanian, the distinction between 'germoj' (dig) and 'germe' (letter) represents a natural linguistic evolution, separating the old verb from the new noun, later adopted as 'gramma' in ancient Greek. This connection illuminates the relationship between scratching, digging, and written language development, as well as the evolution of words and meanings over time.

Philosophically, the 'GRR' sound embodies the human desire to create, express, and communicate. It symbolizes the primal urge to scratch, dig, and mark, giving rise to written language. Linguistically, the Albanian origin of these Latin and Greek words underscores the significance of verb conjugation and noun formation in language development. Grammatically, the rr-r division in Albanian highlights the complex interplay between sound, meaning, and context.

The absence of these root forms in Latin and Greek further supports the Albanian etymology, demonstrating the language's contributory role in shaping Western linguistic heritage. Ancient Albanians' use of verbs like 'germoj', 'grryjej', and 'gërvish' before the advent of writing underscores their innovative spirit, introducing the concept and word for letters in the Vinka script.

In conclusion, the 'GRR' sound represents a primordial, expressive force, connecting human creativity, language, and writing. Its evolution and transformation across languages and cultures serve as a testament to the dynamic, adaptive nature of human communication.

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...
