Etymological Revival: Reexamining the Albanian Influence on Latin 'Obire'

In the Cham Albanian dialect, "OBIRE" is equivalent to "O bi" (O becomes). The letter "O" originates from the symbolism of completion in both time and physical matter. In the context of life, the completion of "O" signifies its end. When "O" is completed as a metaphor for life, it reaches the end of life.
The Algorithm: "O bi-re" (O becomes)
The algorithm combines the Albanian verb "*bë" (to do, to make) and the Cham form "*bi"  with the symbolism of "O". This algorithm highlights the dynamic nature of life, where movement through "O" represents the journey of life.
Amateur Etymologies: Latin Obituarius
The Latin term "Obituarius" refers to a record of a person's death, literally meaning "pertaining to death". This term is derived from "Obitus", which is rooted in "obire", meaning "to go straight" or "to go to a meeting". This Latin verb is composed of "Ob" (straight) and "ire" (to go), originating from the Proto-Indo-European root "*ei-" (to go).
The Albanian Connection: "Mbaroj" and "Ngop"
The algorithmic evidence suggesting that the Latin "obire" originates from an Albanian root is supported by other Albanian language units, such as "mbaroj" and "ngop". These verbs share the same semantic root.
Albanian Verb "Mbaroj"
1. Essential meanings: "Mbaroj" signifies the act of completing or ending something.
2. Colloquial and dialectal variants: In informal contexts, "mbaroj" can mean fulfilling someone's wish or desire, or destroying/terminating something.
Albanian Verb "Ngop"
1. Core meanings: "Ngop" means to satisfy one's hunger, thirst, or desires, or to fill something.
2. Figurative extensions: "Ngop" can also imply satisfying emotional needs or desires, or giving someone too much of something.
Common Semantic Roots
1. Completion and satiety: Both "mbaroj" and "ngop" convey the idea of completion and satiety.
2. Completion and end: These verbs also imply a sense of completion or finality.
Influences on the Latin "Obire"
1. Direct meaning: "Obire" means "to go towards" with a sense of movement, without any inherent connection to death.
2. Semantic extensions: The less direct meaning of the verb derives from the idea of "going towards" or "to run towards," but these extensions do not imply a direct connection to death.
3. Relationship with "mbaroj": The semantic connection with death is established only when considering the verb "mbaroj," which has a meaning of completion or ending, especially in the context of life.

Therefore, in Albanian, the verb "mbaroj" is often used interchangeably with "vdes" (to die), as its synonym, to convey the idea of completion or ending of life. This is evident in expressions like "mbaroi pa gdhirë" (he/she died before sunrise), which is used instead of "vdiq pa gdhirë". This linguistic substitution highlights the nuanced relationship between the concepts of completion, ending, and death in the Albanian language. By using "mbaroj" in this context, Albanian speakers emphasize the idea of life reaching its natural conclusion, rather than solely focusing on the cessation of life. This subtle distinction underscores the richness and complexity of the Albanian language in expressing various aspects of human experience.

Conclusion
The similarities between the Albanian verbs "mbaroj" and "ngop" and the Latin "obire" suggest that the Latin verb may have originated from an Albanian root. This challenges the traditional view of the Indo-European roots of Latin and proposes a more complex linguistic history.

The connections between "mbaroj," "ngop," and "obire" emphasize the importance of exploring linguistic relationships and challenging traditional etymological views.

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...
