Where do you have go nowadays to find people who still respect their elders? Why deep in Africa, of course.

AWE YiRAH Yod-Resh-Aleph-Hey Year-RAH____יראה____[YRAHà AW] ROOTS: The same wise men who link godliness to giddiness derive AWE from Old Icelandic agis, fright, and Greek achos, pain, distress. The W sound derived from a guttural does not reflect very AWESOME scholarship either. יראה YiRAH is the noun for the AWE a sentient creature might have for a Creator, as in Leviticus 19:32. The verb root of “revering” (B-Y adds this to the inferior “fear” definition) is ירא Yod-Resh-Aleph. Uggaritic (extinct Semitic) has a similar word, and timidity is one meaning that comes up in the Bantu below. The י Yod/Y as “weak letter” does not affect the ability to derive a word like AWE or its yet undiscovered precents. Forר Resh /R becoming WR, see entries like “WORM,” “WREN,” “WRIST” and “WRONG.” For ר Resh /R becoming W, listen to Elmer Fudd say “CWazy Wabbit.” BRANCHES: Rev. Jonathan Mohler learned Bantu on location in southern Africa. In the Luyia dilaect “to fear” is rya, an M213 metathesis of ירא YaRAy . Related is -riririra, to be nervously shy or fearfully hesitant. One can hear the stuttering, fearful repetition of the R-vowel root. Closer to יראה YiRAH is oburye, the respect, honor, and fear shown to parents and superiors. A Bantu tribesman always feels somewhat self-conscious or nervous in the presence of an omurye. Ribwa means feared, respected; (-bwa is a passive suffix).Archived posts, Edenics searches + web games: http://www.edenics.net/ Edenics DVDs and most recent book: THE ORIGIN OF SPEECHES.
