The Word:
An Introduction
THE WORD is out! You can
hold in your hands one of the most significant books of our
times. It is the most complete etymological dictionary of the
English language, but it is far more than that.
THE WORD shall prove that:
English
is ultimately from Biblical Hebrew.
All
languages ultimately link up, and only through variations of the
original, universal language (Hebrew).
Every
word ever thought or spoken is merely a disguised form of
Hebrew. Hebrew is on the tip of your tongue.
The
primordial human language system (Hebrew) is a natural science
like physics or chemistry. Only the "DNA" of Hebrew
letters reveals the FL/LF element in FoLio and LeaF (synonyms)
and the MN/NM in opposing NuMber words like MiNus and MaNy.
Even animal names have hidden,
profound meanings: GIRAFFE (a presumed Italian and Arabic
corruption) means "neck"; SKUNK (to English via the
Algonquian Indian) means "stink" in the language
ascribed to our ancestor Adam.
Hundreds of language
mysteries are finally solved. Aside from the larger questions, we
discover why words like NICK are not spelled "nik", why
RICHES is singular and why knowledge of the Bible explains words
like JACKRABBIT, RUTHLESS, OGRE and COLOSSAL .(With help from
Jacob, Ruth, Og and Goliath.)
THE WORD will have you
wondering why the authorities acknowledged words like AMEN and
JUBILEE to be borrowings from Hebrew, but not related terms like
AMENABLE and JUBILATE. Was it lack of knowledge or a bias against
the language celebrated as the Mother Tongue until the Nineteenth
Century?
THE WORD gives you the tools. You may now dig
all the way back to the Tower of Babel (the unacknowledged source
of BABBLE). In the same excavation you can bury the myths of the
Bible-scorning professors and their incomplete, incorrect
dictionaries.
No longer should students be taught that:
The
grunting of primitives evolved into the eloquence of
Shakespeare.
Most
puns and sound-alike words are mere coincidences.
No more
than twenty sound-alike, mean-alike words, like MAMA, PAPA and
SACK. are shared between unrelated languages.
The
Indo-Aryans of Europe evolved from different primates, and so
their languages differ from those of Africans, Asians and
Semites.
Mysterious
languages like Basque have no known linguistic affinities.
Hebrew, too, evolved from some
unknown, theoretical proto-Semitic language.
THE WORD is more than a
book. It is an event. A reunion of long lost relatives separated
since the neurological disturbance at Babel that scrambled the
output stage of our common, programmed language.
THE WORD
is a unique reference text that traces the vast majority of
English words back to their ultimate origins in Biblical Hebrew.
Ten years of original research revealed a bold new vision of the
dynamics of human language. Through the primal Hebrew root hidden
behind every English word a whole new world of order and meaning
unfolds.
Readers of THE WORD discover that:
Many
more words should be acknowledged as borrowings from the Hebrew.
Some of these giant oversights include :ogre (from mighty Og,
King of Bashan) and colossus (the Greek Gollius or Goliath).
The few
aknowledged borrowings from Hebrew, like MEN and JUBILEE, should
be extended to words like AMENABLE and JUBILATE.
There
are hundreds of English and Hebrew words that sound remarkably
alike and mean the same but are not cited by linguists. A few of
these are abash and BooSHa, albino and LaBHaN, evil and AVeL,
lick and LaKaK and regular and RaGeeL.
The same
rules that connect the related vocabularies of Spanish, French
and Italian apply to Hebrew's clear connection to English.
Many names of animals only have
meanings in Hebrew. Giraffe means "neck" and skunk
means "stink" in the language of Eden.
THE WORD gives you the
tools to dig all the way back to the Tower of Babel, yet it is an
easy book to use and enjoy. The extensive Hebrew and English
indices guide you to any word you seek. In each entry you will
find all Hebrew and foreign words clearly transliterated. You'll
see each word broken down to its elemental building blocks and
discover a whole family of close and distant relatives, synonyms
and antonyms. In each entry Biblical verses verify the meaning
and authenticity of each Hebrew root word.
THE WORD
allows you to easily learn the language of the Bible as thousands
of the featured word pairs sound so much alike. Are you a
hardcore skeptic, a religious fundamentalist or somewhere in
between? Let the millions of "coincidences" in THE WORD
challenge you to believe that English and Hebrew are profoundly
connected and that your language is but a scrambled form of your
ancestors Adam and Eve.
The Word does for the Bible and
the Tower of Babel scenario what researchers have tried to do for
Noah's Ark and the Shroud of Turin. Connecting most English words
to Biblical Hebrew (with samples from American Indian, Basque,
Chinese, Japanese, Hawaiian and, etc. thrown in) upsets the
Darwinists. (They claim that Blacks developed unrelated African
languages because they evolved from different apes than did
Indo-European man. Jews and Blacks are segregated in a linguistic
country club called Afro-Asiatic.) The Creationists believe that
our common ancestor Adam was given one language which he named
the animals with and which later diversified (Genesis 11:1) into
our current babble of languages. ("Babble" is not even
acknowledged to be from "Babel".) The Bible believers
of our monotheistic religions will be encouraged to see the
irrefutable mass of proof compiled in THE WORD. Reluctantly the
professors will have to admit that Noah Webster was right, that
the first dissertation written at Harvard was right and that the
world prior to Nineteenth Century German linguists was right --
that Hebrew IS the Mother Tongue."
See why AMERICA
means "work," ENGLISH means "crooked" and
GIRAFFE means "neck." Thanks to a decade of original
research we might glory in thefact that our words have meanings
that are universal and profound. From its electrifying title on,
this book crackles as much with controversy as it does with new
information. THE WORD is an etymological dictionary of English
that begins where the others have left off. Far more than an
essential reference book, readers of various educational and
religious backgrounds are likely to debate the thoroughly
documented thesis here that dares to claim that:
All English words can be
traced beyond German, Latin, and Greek to their ultimate origin
in Biblical Hebrew
Even "English" words
like SKUNK (from the American Indian) and KARATE (from Japanese)
are traceable to Hebrew because ALL languages link up to this
original Mother Tongue
Language in its pristine form (Hebrew) is a natural
science like chemistry or physics; reversible two-letter roots
have like-sounding synonyms and antonyms.
THE WORD restores lost
worlds of meaning to everyday words and challenges opponents of
Creationism and the Bible to reconsider the Tower of Babel
scenario of Genesis. After reading THE WORD one can see how
humans might have been programmed with a symmetrical,
semantically rich "computing" language that was
scrambled in the output stage to create our current Babel of
languages to engender our multi-national world history. To
restore meaning to the sounds we call words, we need only go back
to the Garden, the primordeal setting where Adam and Eve's
coinage made perfect, profound sense.
Racism and
xenophobia in Western Civilization has long been entrenched into
the concepts of language history that is taught in our schools.
The Nineteenth Century Germans who developed modern linguistics
placed barbed wire around the language barriers, separating the
tongues of Africa and the Middle East from the language family of
the Aryans. Indo-Aryan (renamed Indo-European after the war) was
to have developed from a separate people that evolved from
separate monkeys (read better monkeys). Even today, students are
taught that the Hamito-Semitic languages are related, but that
Indo-European remains in splendid isolation. As more scholars
support the work of compiler Isaac Mozeson's ten-year research
project, it becomes clear that English vocabulary has more
affinity to proto-Semitic or ancient Hebrew that it has to any
one of its immediate parent languages: Latin, Greek or German
(which, themselves, ultimately link up to Hebrew's uniquely
versatile roots).
This is what author, Honorary President
of the Educators Council of America and visiting prof. at
Harvard, Hebrew U., Brandeis, etc. said in a spring 2000
interview (see http://ivrit.org/alvin.html):

There is some scholarly
support for monogenesis of language, the thesis that all human
languages are derived from a single mother tongue. In his book,
The Word, Isaac Mozeson makes a strong case for Hebrew being that
language, a thesis not yet accepted by most linguistic scholars.
According to Mozeson, more English words can be linked clearly to
biblical Hebrew than to Greek, Latin, and French. His extensive
research reveals the Hebrew source of thousands of English words
and terms. It shows that:
"Borrowings"
from Hebrew by the English language are actually extensive;
The
number of sound-alike, mean-alike terms in Indo-European and
Semitic languages far exceed the allowable number of borrowings
or "coincidences";
Hebrew
is a uniquely profound system of languages that resembles the
organicism of natural science rather than the product of human
development;
If there is an original language,
it is the language of the Hebrew Bible.
