Introduction to Edenics
"I will restore to
the peoples a pure language, that they may call upon the name of
the Lord to serve him with one consent." - Zephaniah 3:9
If the link between the
ear and the sense of balance is a relatively recent medical
discovery, why is it that the ancient Hebrew language has the
same linguistic root for both words? Science fiction, or science
fact? Is Hebrew the first human language?
Only Hebrew
language dynamics with its built-in synonym and antonym system
explains why LeaF and FoLio (LF=FL) mean the same, or why a
person who knows Hebrew well can fully understand English, Basque
or Swahili.
The majesty of Hebrew is only faintly visible
in its offspring. Yet, some continue to maintain that most words
are random, meaningless symbols which evolved from your basic
caveman grunting.
Hebrew, with its right brain/left brain
neurological keyboard demonstrates that Greek and Latin are
merely grandparents, while Hebrew is the common ancestor, the
original computing language of our biological random access
memory, which was scrambled during the output stage by the Master
Programmer (Tower of Babel story in Genesis).
Don't worry
if you have never heard a word in Hebrew or read anything on
language, you will soon find out that you have never heard a word
that wasn't Hebrew.
While the spelling of biblical words
is highly significant, much meaning is lost to those who ignore
the sound-alike letter substitution -- one aspect of the divine
music that remains unattainable to those who rely solely on
available translations. One special aspect of biblical craft
remains lost in translation to Greek, Latin, or English.
The
language disk in our brain is formatted for language. A unique
neurological disturbance may be involved in a phenomenon which
allows patients with multiple personalities and people who "speak
in tongues" a mysterious facility with unlearned languages.
To uncover the true miracle of language and
understanding, we must go on an archeological dig. We must remove
the sands of millenia and put away the dictionaries with their
quaint myths of standaraized spelling and pronunciation.
The
Hebrew etymon breaks the cherished icons of the high priests of
voodoo linguistics and secular humanism -- as exemplified in the
polygensis theory of language origin, that languages evolved
independently. Why do peoples with divergent grammars, the Maya,
the Chinese, the Persians and the Greco-Romans, have variations
of the Bible's Tower of Babel account or The Flood? Hebrew's
extensively related synonyms and antonyms, along with its
modular, reversible two-letter roots, represents a profound
system of language that resembles the organicism of natural
science rather than the product of human development.
Through
the primal Hebrew root hidden behind every English word, a whole
new world of order and meaning unfolds.
I shall be
providing for this column samples of words from many languages,
not just English (where I have 23,000 examples), to reveal their
ultimate origin in the language of our first ancestors, Adam and
Eve. I call this original language Edenic, combining
Proto-Semitic roots defined in Biblical Hebrew and other Semitic
languages. Besides the usual skepticism from Eurocentrics, more
intelligent opponents correctly cite that many coincidences
result from there being so few different sounds in the human
mouth. True, one may say there only seven basic letters, since
all vowels, lip letters (plosives b,f, p, v, w), gutturals (hard
c, g, h, j, k, q, x), tooth letters (dentals d, t), liquids
(l,r), nasals (m,n) The trouble with this mathematical objection
to my findings (say, linking SKUNK to TSaKHaN, stinker) is that
there are a billion billion things/meanings in the universe and I
am not linking SKUNK to a word that means giraffe, cupboard, them
or heavy.
I want to land a major blow before going
several rounds and taking you through lists of common or exotic
words and introducing you to their long-lost ancestors (lost
since the big bang at Babel, though language corruption continues
today, ask anyone in the inner city.) A great deal of work has
been done tracing the thousands of languages back to only a dozen
superfamilies. For example, Stanford professor Joseph H.
Greenberg proved that there were only three major American Indian
languages, and that the hundreds of "languages" counted
in 1985 were merely dialects. Greenberg's work involved
comparative vocabulary, like my own. He was furiously attacked by
historical linguists until genetic studies with DNA (similar to
the work that proved all homo sapiens derive from one initial
"Eve") precisely corroborated his findings both on
Native American and African languages.
In Merritt
Ruhlen's 1994 book, The Origin of Language (Wiley, NY) there is a
chart (page 103) of the best preserved/reconstructed words from a
dozen of the planet's language families. I will attempt to
demonstrate that Edenic words provide the clearest origin for
these terms, and should not merely be classified as one branch of
the Afro-Asiatic family -- which includes Semitic. Letters A, B,
and C refer to the African language families called Khosian,
Nilo-Saharan and Niger-Kordofanian. D, being Afro-Asiatic and
including Hebrew, is the only family where a Semitic source
should fit. Language family E is Kartevilian and F is Dravidian
(India). G is Eurasiatic (includes Latinate, Germanic and
Slavic), H is Dene-Caucasian (includes Chinese). Further from
Europe is I (Austric), J (Indo-Pacific), K (Australian) and L
(Amerind). In one example, only families B and F do not have an
M-vowel or M-N word for "what?" Four of the groups have
MA for "what?" In other words Hebrew Ma (what) is the
most popular form of "what?" on the planet. Four other
families have an M-N term, like the manna of Exodus 16:15 "for
they said to one another 'What is it?'" M-N "what?"
terms exist in Amorite and Old Arabic; Aramaic has a similar word
meaning "who?" The above example may have disappointed
you for not having an English term offering the shock of the
familiar. It disappointed me, because the Edenic fit too easily,
as if dispersed mankind clearly remembered the word from Eden
rather than used Edenic roots to form a new word slightly
"confused" (BiLBaiL since being BaLLed up in the
linguistic mixing BowL of Babel) version.
The next
example is all about BiLBaiL (confusion). Eight of the twelve
language families have a B-L (P-L or B-R) word for "two,"
since two infers the ambiguous, confusing challenge of multiple
alternatives. (As opposed to one; more than two is already a
quantity, not a dilemma.) Two, twain, twin, German zwei or Latin
duo are familiar, but they do get reconstructed to the most
common Euriasiatic "two" - which is ALA. The Edenic
sources for these familiar "two" words include TeoM
(twin) and Du- (two, a Hebrew prefix from Aramaic). Besides BaLaL
(to mix up), there is BaLooL (blended), the BL root suffixed to
IRBaiL (to mix, cause to whirl, confuse) or the words for casting
lots: HiPeeL PuR (Esther 3:7). Now you know why REVOLVING BALLS
or pelotas (Spanish), blended BALLET movements, choosing by
BULLET or BALLOT is as much a BL/BR term of confusion as is the
incoherent BABBLE of BARBARIANS (as heard by Latin speakers). You
probably don't know that two is mbili in Swahili, and so you'd
still like to see a primordial Eurasiatic term that you could
recognize in English.
The next Eurasiatic word in
Ruhlen's chart of the oldest and most common words in every
corner of Earth is "ak(w)a" (water) - which you will
recognize in words like AQUATIC. The first time lower water
appears in Genesis (1:9) it is [Ye]KaVoo haMaYiM (the waters
gather). A MiKVA is a pool of water because water finds its
level, and the two-letter root KV or QV means a line or measuring
line. People waiting on a British QUE (line), living near the
EQUATOR or waiting to live with EQUALITY aspire to the linear
quality of Edenic water. Seven of the twelve language families
have some form of Kuf-Vav term for water. The reconstructed terms
for water in those groups that do not use the Edenic root for
AQUA- words, prefer other Edenic roots, like those found in MaYiM
(water), NaHaR (river) and RaToV (wet). If you could taste WET,
WATER and VODKA in the Resh-Tet (R/WR-T/D) of this last Edenic
word than you should be helping with the research.
The
remaining examples are of less interest to those who want to hear
Edenic echoes in English. To fly through them, the world's
dominant Dental-Guttural term for "one" or "finger"
(seen in DIGIT) is KhaD (the Aramaic one, like EKHaD, one, which
should be read backwards), the wold's most popular word for "arm"
links up to KaNeH (source of CANE and used for the arm of a
lampstand), the top (and related to SUMMIT) "hair" term
is traceable to ZeMeR (wool, animal hair), "smell"
words are scented from the S-M root of Edenic words for spices
and incense, and, lastly, one has to pluck the PR root of the
Edenic bird (ZiPPOR is the source of SPARROW), the flea, the
butterfly and the word for departing, fleeing and scattering to
catch the PR term of flight that most world languages share. Many
decades before this immense research was available, linguists
knew that words like MAMA, PAPA and SACK were nearly universal.
Rather than turning to their biblical EMA or ABBA (mom and pop),
the anti-Semiticists put their heads in a SaQ (sack), cried
"coincidence" or concocted theories.
