From Mouth to Meaning: The Origins of 'GOVORIT' and 'Ingoiare'"

Introduction
The words "govorit" and "ingoiare" may seem like two distinct words from different languages today, but where do they come from? Semantically, they are very different, but were they always so? This article explores the origins of these words and the complexities of language evolution.
The Gap in Linguistic Theories
The current linguistic theories seem to overlook the formation of words and their meanings. While various theories focus on structure, function, or phonetic change, they often fail to explain how words come into being as meaningful units. A fundamental principle that explains how language assigns names to physical objects and actions (motion) in the world around us is indeed lacking.
The Complexity of Word Formation
The question of how sound and meaning come together to form a word is a complex one. It's a process that involves not just the sounds and structures of language but also our perceptions, survival experiences, and components of the world outside us. Context plays a crucial role in shaping the meaning of words.
The Albanian Origin of "GOVORIT"
The European languages, particularly the Slavic languages, reflect nationalist tendencies in their linguistic roots. A prime example is the word "GOVORIT," which originates from the Albanian words "GOI" (mouth) and "bërit" or "bërtit/brit." The root of the word and its meaning is closely tied to the organ of speech, "goj."
The Dual Meaning of "Goj"
The word "goj" seems to have created two distinct meanings: one related to swallowing (ingoiare) and the other to speaking (govorit). This dual meaning might seem counterintuitive at first, but it's possible that the word "goj" has a more nuanced or abstract meaning that encompasses both concepts.
The Connection Between Swallowing and Speaking
One possible explanation is that the word "goj" is related to the physical act of using the mouth, which is involved in both swallowing and speaking. In this sense, the word "goj" might be more closely tied to the physical mechanism of speech or ingestion rather than the specific actions themselves.
Language Evolution
Language was constantly evolving, and words can take on new meanings or connotations over time, creating dialects and eventually new languages. The dual meaning of "goj" reflects a historical or cultural context during language evolution that is no longer apparent in the new languages.
Conclusion
The dual meaning of "goj" highlights the complexities of language and the ways in which words can take on multiple meanings or connotations. Further research and analysis would be needed to fully understand the relationship between the two meanings of "goj" and how they have evolved over time.

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...
