OUR WORLD of MUD

Many of you were taught that the overwhelming evidence in this post supporting an Ancient Hebrew Mother Tongue must be a heap of coincidences. Those of you not in thrall by Cancel Culture, etc. should find this interesting.

[A dozen dental-nasal words for “Earth” as “world” in the “MUNDANE” entry.”

The SLAVIC forms of אדמה  ADaMaH (earth, land)  have the DàZ, Dalet/D-to-fricative

 shift which is standard in the closest language to Edenic: Aramaic.

uZeMi, area, territory – Czech

ZeM, ground -- Slovak

ZeMě, country, land, nation, soil -- Czech

ZeMina, earth – Czech

ZiMlia, earth, ground, land – Belarusian

ZeMliá, earth, land, territory  -- Russian земля

ZeMliá, earth, land, ground, universe, world, terra – Ukrainian

ZeMlja, soil – Bosnian

ZeMlja, ground, soil, country, nation -- Croatian, Serbian

Ziema, earth, ground, land;  ZieMia (earth, land, ground); ZieMniak (potato); and

ZieMski, earthly,  terrestrial -- Polish

 

Baltic ought to have the same Z-from-Dalet (as Aramaic) shift, since Balto-Slavic is one family. If the Edenics/Genesis 11 thesis is consistent, the two Baltic languages should have Z-M “land” words too.  Latvian e and Lithuanian ŽeMė mean “earth and land.” Just as אדם Adam (man or Earthling) is of the earth,  Lithuanian has a corresponding Z-M “human” or “man” word from אדם  ADaM: ŽMogus.

The Tower of Babel "myth" of Genesis 11 is found in Mayan and Chinese lore. Myths shared by distant cultures should  recall actual events. There seems to have been a neuro-linguistic disturbance that once broke up a species-wide Mother Tongue. Our volunteer team of researchers calls this Mother Tongue Edenic, after the Homo Sapiens homeland of Genesis. It is unclear where this "Eden" might have been, but it is within the area where Africa, Asia and Europe meet. As seen above, the best language to use is Ancient Hebrew (plus attested Semitic roots). It is the only ancient language with a large, sophisticated and long-studied literature.  Our Edenics team only tends to reverse-engineer or traces about 8% of exotic vocabularies back to Edenic. It goes as high as 15% tracing English words to Ancient Hebrew roots. The rival candidates for Mother Tongue (like Tamil, Arabic or Basque) are under 1%.  There are research projects working with reconstructions, which are wonderful if you want your Mother to be a robot.  A cursory glance at the above should convince you that the "Indo-Euroapen" roots are fiction.

Of course most words have corrupted beyond any recognition. But our Edenics Work challenges the theory that our words are evolved animal signals and caveman gestures. The curious person will also find extensive evidence that Edenics roots and words were designed by either a super-brilliant caveman or the creator of anatomy, chemistry and physics.

Dalet-Mem/ DM more political “country” words are at the “DEMOCRAT” entry of our 2600-page digital Edenics dictionary at edenics.org   If you have a word that can be added to the table above, you will be acknowledged and rewarded with free eBooks.  Contact Isaac Mozeson by Facebook or email my surname chez yahoo.
