DA(M)N DaHN
Dalet-Noon
DONE_________דן_________[DN]
ROOTS: Latin damnare
is to condemn or fine. The theoretical (1985) IE “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. טעם DT[A]hM is a judgment or decree (Jonah 3:7).
DT-MN antonyms at "DUMB". DOOMSDAY is judgement day ( יום הדין
YOAM HaDeeYN), but the “scholars” of historical linguistics who dismiss Semitic
prefer to cite Old English dōm, judgement.
BRANCHES: DEEM
is to judge; a DEEMSTER is archaic for a judge. (Also see “MENTAL” for DEEM). 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 these relate 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 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 or legal DOMINIAN,
this D-N M family has a bearing on words like DEMEAN, DOMINATE, 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 judgment; handan suru is to
judge.
In
Finnish tuomari, judge; tuomio, a judgement (a doom); tuomita is to condemn,
judge, sentence, adjudicate or doom.
In
Norwegian (unlike German in this case) a
judge is bedǾmme. He is DEEMING DOOM or CONDEMNING the guilty by דין DeeYN
(law).
A legal jurisdiction, state or מדינה MeDeeYNaH
authorizes the coin of the realm or legal tender.
D-N jurisdiction terms are stamped in
money words, including Spanish dinero, Italian denaro
and perhaps Russian dyengi деньги. The
reference books try to make the Latin dinarius non-Semitic by insisting
that the coin “originally contained ten asses” (Ernest D. Klein), believing that DNR sounds
like Latin decem (ten).
A DEEMSTER (judge) did the DEEMING or
ESTIMATING. ESTIMATE was traced to Latin aestimāre , but we now know know that more
English is from Swedish. Swedish döma is to judge or
doom -- another דין DeeYN. Swedish bestamma, to determine or
judge, better reveals the original dental-nasal root of judgement and law in
the word and concept of ESTIMATION. Despite the dental alter ego of the fricative-sounding צ Tsadi/TS, the
IE addition of es- to words is likely the bigger factor in disguising the ST-M.
