Unveiling the Linguistic Heritage of Apollonia: The 'APOL' Inscription's Albanian Roots

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 resembling "APOL." This etymological link establishes continuity between ancient Apollonian and modern Albanian.
Linguistic Parallels*.
Albanian words related to fertility and reproduction support this connection:
- "LE" (born), synonymous with "offspring"
- "PELA" (female horse)
- "PULË" (chicken)
- "PILVESA" (dragonfly), from "pill" (give birth and "VESA" meaning "morning water/dew" in Albanian

- "M'BJELL" (sow), symbolizing multiplication
- "POLLINATE" (breeding, multiplication)
- "PYLL" (forest, tree propagation)
- "YJE" (standard Albanian), "ILE" (Cham Albanian dialect) (stars, multiplication of stars)
- "PELA," ancient Macedonia's capital, incorrectly translated as "stone".
Anagrammatic Insight:
The anagram "LOPA" (cow) within "APOL" reveals a profound connection:
- The cow on the coin and the inscription "APOL" raise questions about ancient Albanian writing direction.
Rolls and Anagrams.
Spoken word rotations demonstrate linguistic fluidity:
- "rot" (wheel) and "tor" (round tower)
- "rot" (wheel) and "tur-n" (taking a turn)
Historical Context
Apollonia's strategic location facilitated cultural exchange between Illyria and ancient Greece. The inscription "APOL" has its roots in the Albanian language.

Conclusion
The Apollonia coins' inscription "APOL" conceals a deep connection with the Albanian language, revealing a rich cultural heritage. Through phonetic, etymological, and linguistic analyses, we uncover the enduring significance of "APOL" as a symbol of fertility, birth, and reproduction.
Implications
This discovery:
1. Confirms the continuity of the Albanian language from ancient times.
2. Strengthens Albania's cultural ties with ancient Illyria.
3. Reinforces Albanian national identity and pride.

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.

Discovering the first language that people spoke is difficult because so many languages died and were considered lost in history.

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...
