The Ancient Connection: The Origin of Anacenosi

The word of the day is the Italian term "Anacenosi" [a-na-ce-nò-si], meaning a request for advice addressed to the listener. This term allegedly originates from the Greek word ἀνακοινοῦν (anakoinoûn), which means "to communicate" or "to convey." However, the roots of ἀνακοινοῦν are worth exploring.
Languages evolve over millennia, and some nations preserve linguistic experiences more than others. Given the extensive historical and dialectal experiences of the Albanian language, it appears that Albanian can provide etymological insights into ancient "Greek" words. Perhaps the absolute etymological truth of many words can't be found without considering the Albanian language.
The origin of Anacenosi lies in communication. Breaking down the etymology: A NA GOIN+ could be interpreted as "it is we speak" or "we speak," where "NA" signifies "we" and "goj" (or "koi") relates to speech or communication. In Albanian, "gojë" means "mouth" or can relate to speech, and "koj" can mean to feed or give.
The link between the verb "koj" and the noun "gojë" (mouth) suggests a shared root, with a possible sound shift from "g" to "k". This etymological connection implies that the verb "koj" might be related to the act of feeding or giving food through the mouth.
The Albanian verb "koj" specifically refers to feeding someone or something by mouth, such as:
- Feeding a baby
- Feeding a sick person who can't eat on their own
- Feeding a bird or animal
In contrast, the Ancient Greek word for "mouth" is στόμα (stoma), a neuter noun encompassing speech, expression, and openings. However, the form of "stoma" doesn't seem to share a direct formal connection with Albanian "gojë" or "koj", or the form of "anakoin+" in ancient Greek.
Despite this, the relationship between "koj" and "gojë" and their meanings indicates the Albanian language's potential role in understanding ancient words like "Anakoinoyn", "koine", etc. These connections suggest Albanian might hold the key to understanding ancient "Greek" vocabulary.

Whether acknowledged by scholars or not, the Albanian language seems to offer valuable insights into the etymology of words like Anacenosi, tracing back to the essence of communication and conveyance.

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...
