| DA(M)N DaHN Dalet-Noon DONE_________דן_________[DN] ROOTS: Latin damnare is to condemn or fine. The theoretical Indo-European “root” for DAMN, DAMAGE and CONDEMN is dap to apportion (in exchange).
דן DahN is to punish or "judge" (Genesis 15:14). דין DaYaN is a judge (Psalms 68:6 – see “DEAN”). דין DeeYN is law, judgment, justice, litigation and, in Deuteronomy 17:18, a legal plea, as in to DUN.
M and N are interchaneable nasals.
טעם DT[A]hM is a judgment or decree (Jonah 3:7). DT-MN antonyms at "DUMB".
BRANCHES: DEEM is to judge; a DEEMSTER is a judge. REDEEM and REDEMPTION (to make amends, atone for guilt); relate to other DM terms like DAMAGE,
Latin damnum (lesser injury), INDEMNITY, and INDEMNIFY (to make reparations) all ultimately go back to דם DahM ("bloodguilt" - Exodus 22:l).
To translate דם DahM as literal blood makes for awkward translation in verses like Leviticus 19:16 ("Do not profit by the blood of your neighbor"). The context clearly wants us to not profit by the damnum (Latin for injury or loss) of our fellow man.
In many other verses the bloodthirsty translators failed to see דם DahM as a legal term of damages due, a relative of דמם DahMiM (value, cost), of דמי DiMaY (fee) and, of דין DeeYN (DOOM, judgment). Tet-Ayin-Noon/ טען DT[A]’aN is to sue or claim.
CONDEMN, DEMON, DOOM are all judgmental terms. Greek daimon, spirit, is more likely a damned, doomed spirit more than any visible תמונהTiMOONaH (picture) or דמות DiMOOT (image – a theory of author Eugene Narrett).
Ghosts can be seen, they say, but a DEMONIC soul is only for exorcists.
מדינה MiDeeYNaH (province) literally means jurisdiction. The city of MEDINA, near Mecca, Saudi Arabia was once a largely Jewish city
before it was ethnically cleansed.
As law implies jurisdiction, this D-N M family has a bearing on words like DEMEAN, DOMINATE, DOMINION, KINGDOM, etc. The -DOM suffix of words like FREEDOM and SERFDOM are from the jurisdiction of DOOM and דין DeeYN (law).
See "MADONNA" and "ADONIS" for many ד-ן D-N terms of mastery from אדוןADOAN (master).
In Chinese dian is law or rule; ding is to pass judgment. Tham is to try or judge in Vietnamese. Japanese handan is a judgement; handan suru is to judge. D-N jurisdiction terms are stamped in money words, including Spanish dinero, Italian denaro and perhaps Russian dyengi. The reference books try to make the Latin dinarius non-Semitic by insisting that the coin “originally contained ten asses” (Ernest Klein), believing that DNR sounds like Latin decem (ten). --------------
So how many Semitically-challenged asses does it take to publish an etymology and have it taken as gospel?Archived posts, Edenics searches + web games: http://www.edenics.net/
