The Etymological Truth of 'Odeon': Unveiling the Geg Albanian language Roots

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 origins.
Grammatically, the Albanian language's distinctive features, such as the use of 'O' and 'DA,' demonstrate a sophisticated linguistic structure. Words like 'ODA' (room) mistakenly attributed to Ottoman turkish, which come from O DA, meaning "separated O", and 'KOKE' (head) showcase this complexity.

There is also the Albanian word "dhomë" (meaning "room", challenging the conventional view that it comes from Proto-Indo-European *dem- ("to build; house").

There is the primordial concept of "O" and "DO" representing a closed and splited, separated thing or contained thing, is the root of the word "dhomë".

By comparing "dhomë" to Ancient Greek δόμος (dómos, "house"), Latin domus, and English timber, the "O" shape and "DO" is a common thread among these words, potentially indicating a shared origin or influence.

This etymological analysis underscores the need for a more nuanced understanding of language, moving beyond simplistic borrowing theories. By embracing the intricacies of the Albanian language, we can uncover the authentic roots of words like 'odeon' and redefine the boundaries of linguistic knowledge.

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...
