| CHINESE (Mandarin) – EDENIC [George Shen and Kinneret Pau assisted with the Chinese, Fernando Aedo and Regina Werling with global cognates. (Key to dialect abbreviations to follow.) Comments to project leader Isaac: mozeson@yahoo.com] Chinese pictographs and definitions are from the Xinhua dictionary (X + page number). Page numbers will vary slightly depending on the edition. Letter Shift Codes: Human words have only 7 anatomic sounds, as all music is from 7 notes. All vowels are interchangeable, no letter shifts need be indicated. S-B = bilabial shift [interchangeable lip letters: B, F, V, W] S-F = fricative shift,[interchangeable whistling letters: Soft C, S, TS, X] S-G = guttural shift [interchangeable throat letters: Hard C, G, K, Q] S-D = dental shift [interchangeable tooth letters: D, T, TS] S-L = liquid shift [interchangeable tongue letters: L, R] S-N = nasal shift [interchangeable nose letter: M, N] M = metathesis (root letters switch places. For example, an M213 metathesis is French blanc (white) coming from the second, first and third letters of Edenic LaBHaN (white). = reverse the (root letters of) the Edenic word N Nasalize the word with an added N or M See “XYZ” is the Edenics dictionary entry to find all Biblical citations, sub-roots, engineered synonyms and antonyms, and more Semitic and world cognates.

Ocs is a (younger) brother in Hungarian. In Zuni, an Amerind isolate of New Mexico, kaka is a mother’s brother.Bubble pao 泡 X495 S-B בעבוע B[A]BOO[A], bubble – the Vowel-Bilabial is reduplicated --– see “BUBBLE” G.C.: -fufula ~, to boil over, to froth, to bubble up (Bantu: Lozi ); Japan. awa, bubble Build bian 編 (编) X38 (complete a material, fabricate) בנה BoNeH, build. -- see “BONE” G.C.: baanu, make, do (Mayan: Kekchi); bana_na, to make (Dravidian: H.)

Su is fire in Basque; In Japan, another "land of the rising sun," asa is morning. The oldest root for EAST is based on Sanskrit ushas, dawn. The T in EAST simply means towards the firey dawn (in the east).Bury bian 窆 X38 1. to conceal underground and 2. a storage BIN to keep produce. The Edenic bilabial-nasal sub-root is strongly established by three פ-ן Pey-Noon words of similar meaning, with three fricatives leading them. 1. ספן $aFaN (covered, secured, hidden - Deuteronomy 33:21), 2. צפון TSaPHOON (hidden, closeted away – Exodus 2:2), and 3.שפן SHaPHaN is to hide as buried treasure (Deuteronomy 33:19). This word also means the shy, hidden hyrax or rock badger of this name (Leviticus 11:5). Chinese bian蝙 X37 also means a hidden animal, the bat which only appears at dusk. A fourth covering, bian 弁X39, means a cap worn by men. The e-word entry with all this is “STEPHANE,” which covers the turban. FA’s cognates incl. cappan, cover (Dravidian: P.) and afn, to cover (Egyptian).Buttocks , (bottom) 臀 tun X660 מטה MaDTaH, down, below – see “MAT” G.C.: not.ti, buttocks (Dravidian: Ka.); an.d.u, buttocks or the bottom of a vessel (Dravidian: Ka.); mataà-ula, buttocks (Bantu: Denya) Cake gao 糕 X200 ⇓ עוגה [O]oGaH small cake – see “CAKE” G.C.: The Malay kuih is another rare cookie without the harsh Ayin that provides the double-guttural sound.Canopy, awning peng 棚 X498 ⇓ כנף KaNahPH, wingspread, protective wing -- see “CANOPY”. G.C.: Also reverse pannakam, leaf-cover of a palanquin, awning, boat cover (Dravidian: Ma.) and bangou, wing (Bantu: Grassfields Ortuno 1995), but not Khambh, wing, feather (Dravidian: P.) or kamapura, wing (Bambara -- Mali). If the G in peng 棚 proves to be unhistoric, this “covering” word belongs with the bilabial-nasals at the Bury entry above.Change, transform shan 嬗 X573,4 שנה SHaNaH, to change . To shift is zhuan 轉 （转）X862 S-F שנה SHaNaH . Edenic has the strange, inhuman trait of sometimes having a word mean the opposite of a previous definition. Just as שנה SHaNaH means to repeat the same thing (NOT to change), shan 鱔 X573,4 means “copy.” Similarly, Chinese san 三 X565 means repeatedly, again and again. Again and yet again infers thrice, not just twice. This is why san means number three. – see “CHANGE” Sahm is "to repeat" in Thai.Child nan 男 X471,2 and囡 nan kid X472 נין NeeYN, descendant, great- grandchild -- see “El NINO” G.C.: Malay niana is a son, and Spanish nino/nina is a male/female child .

Even if it moves as it does in Sanskrit kan.d, to pound. More than favoring the biting gnat, the Chinese is again tuned into Edenic sub-roots. The theoretical Indo-European root of GNAW (to bite down) , GNAT(a biting insect) and GNASH (to grind the teeth) does resemble the Chinese: ghen (to gnaw). Class, category, family, branch men 們 （们）X446 מין MeeYN, species, kind, sect -- see “MINISTER” G.C.: In-am is a class, group, kind, species, race, tribe or herd (Dravidian: Ta.). Similar reversal of M-N in another Dravidian language of Southern India. Namna is a kind in Swahili. A category stands alone. Like Greek monos (alone), and is a smaller part of the larger whole. Thus Russian men’she is less, from מן MeeN, from. MINI and NAME are also good entries when investigating why men 們 means what it does.

Only a few are nasalized and reversed like the Chinese. They include: t.inkara, stick (Sanskrit) and tonga, heavy stick, cudgel (Bantu: Sangu). Coin, qian 錢 X525 is money or coin קנה QoNeH, to purchase -- see “COIN” G.C.: To buy in Japanese is konyo (suru). Japanese words for gold are kin and ogen.
