The etymology of the word Βουθρωτος

Βουθρωτον and Βουθρωτος

Bouthrōtón, Buthrōtum was an ancient Illyrian city in Epirus inhabited since prehistoric times by the Albanians ancestors.
"Buthrotum" derives from an Illyrian word that translates as *bouthos in "Greek" and is related to modern Albanian *buzë (shore) and Βουθρωτον as *buzë-reth(circle).
Bouthroton> boutroth(on)>bousroth>bous roth>bouz reth> buze reth (shore circle)
At the edge (shore) of the circle is located the city of Butrint.
The edge/lip of the circle is the etymology of the name Butrint, a compound of the Albanian language words buze (shore) of the reth (circle)". 
Buzë was an Illyrian word that is rendered as *bouthos in ancient "Greek" and is related to modern Albanian word buzë (lip, shore, edge)

Buze (lip, edge, shore)
Reth (circle).

 "at the shore of the circle" is the etymology of the name Butrint.

PS: The Albanian standard of 1972 writes the word 'reth" as "rreth" with two 'r'.

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.

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 side of its tolerance Ø 1.010". Here is the question: W

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 not denote how long people spoke be
