The Etymological Voyage of LEMBI and BOAT: Unveiling the Ancient Connections

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" and "baarr".
The Illyrian-Albanian word "LEMBI" is a navigational tool, derived from the Albanian words "Le" (leave) and "mbi" (over, on), allowing for departure or travel on water. This etymological analysis underscores the significance of Albanian in understanding ancient languages.
The language of ancient Egypt, one of the oldest known languages alongside Sumerian and Phoenician, classified as Afro-Asiatic or Hamitosimite, comprises six branches. The presence of Pelasgian elements, a trunk of the Indo-European branch, is evident in the Albanian language, as demonstrated by words like "Barka" and others. This discovery invites further exploration of the linguistic and cultural exchange between ancient civilizations.

Why Robert Beekes failed on Pre-Greek

Robert Stephen Paul Beekes (Dutch: [ˈbeːkəs]; 2 September 1937 – 21 September 2017) was a Dutch linguist who was professor of comparative Indo-European linguistics at Leiden University and the author of many monographs on the Proto-Indo language. European. Robert Beekes also worked on Pre-Greek, the language he called non-Indo-European, spoken in Greece before Greek, according to him probably around 2000 BC. Since this language was not written, Beekes took his information from many words in classical Greek that show a non-Greek structure and development. One of these words is *ἀδάμας , whose etymology I deduced in 2014 without reading his book. I wrote in this blog: "Do linguists know that ἀδάμας – adámas of old Greek exists in today's Albanian in the form of "pa ndam"? When I read his book and these very words, I was stunned. How can a linguist of such a level not understand this word and its origin. Beekes writes: "Adamas, hard metal? Diamond? Derived from...

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...
