NIN.TIL

THE LADY OF THE RIB

Patriarchal priests invented the myth of parthogenesis during which creation was enabled without the need for the mother. To this day believers still insist that a god can be born without intercourse by a mother. This is the mild version of parthogenesis. The ancient patriarchs invented an entire language to support their undisputed arguments that a god can create out of nothing a human being from his rib. In Sumerian the name of rib is equaled with the name of life. Sumerian was the language that enabled priests acquire this knowledge from the gods.

The Semitic origin is extremely important because it proves that Sumerian myths were based on Semitic setting.

Proto-Semitic: *ṣ̂il(a)ʕ- {} *ĉ̣il(a)ʕ-

Meaning: rib, side (of chest)

Akkadian: ṣēlu, ṣellu 'rib, side (part of the human and the animal body); side (of an object)' OB on [CAD ṣ 124], ṣē/īlu, ṣe/illu [AHw 1090].

    <*ṣ̂Vʕl- <*ṣ̂Vlʕ-, with a metathesis current in AKK in similar cases

Ugaritic: ṣlʕ 'Rippenstück' [Aist 261]

Hebrew: ṣēlāʕ 'rib, side, plank' [KB 1030]

Aramaic: OFF ʕlʕ-y (pl.constr.) 'rib' [HJ 863]

Biblical Aramaic: ʕilʕīn (pl.) 'Rippe' [KB 1760]

Judaic Aramaic: ʕălaʕ (ʕilʕā) [Ja 1085]; ʔlʕ, det. ʔälʕā [Sok 60] 'side, rib'

Syrian Aramaic: ʔelʕā 'costa' [Brock 22].

    ʔ instead of ʕ (< *ṣ̂) is a result of dissimilation of two ʕ

Modern Aramaic: MAL ʕalʕa 'Rippe' [Berg 3] NASS ịɫa 'rib' [Tser 017] ZKH ʔāla 'side' [R Zakho 104] GZR ʔála 'side' [Nak 67]

Arabic: ḍilʕ-, ḍilaʕ- 'côte' [BK 2 35]

Mehri: źālaʔ 'rib' [JM 476]

Jibbali: ź_alʕ do. [JJ 325]

Harsusi: źālaʔ do. [LH 152]

Soqotri: ḍalḥ 'côte' [LS 361] (-ḥ < *-ʕ); QADHUB źɔlǝʕ do. [SSL LS 1480].

    Cf. SOQ ṣéḥloh 'os', which Leslau compares with reservations

Notes: In MSA *ṣ̂alaʕ-.

    Cf. a very likely meaning shift in ESA: SAB ḍlʕt 'malady affecting the chest' [SD 41], MIN ḍlʕn 'malades' (coll.) [LM 30].

    Note GEZ ṣǝlle, ṣǝlla 'tablet (of metal, stone), beam' [LGz 554], TNA ṣǝllät 'slab of wood or stone on which is engraved a religious precept' [ibid.] ('lastra di pietra' in [Bass 948]) unconvincingly compared to this root (namely to HBR ṣēlāʕ 'rib, plank') in [LGz 554]; at the same time, Leslau rightly compares these ETH words to ARB (ḤḌR) ṣilāl, (YEM) ṣalla 'slab', SAB ṣlt 'paving, plastering'.

    [Fron 42] (*ḍalʕ- 'costola' /SOQ,ARB,SYR,HBR,UGR,AKK/); [Holma 49]: AKK, HBR, ARB, ARM; [KB 1030]: HBR, ARM, UGR, AKK, ARB; [Brock 22]: SYR, ARM, HBR, ARB, AKK; [LS 361]: SOQ, MSA, ARB, ARM, HBR, AKK

We must emphasize that words without determinatives belong to the oldest layer of Sumerian, at a time when it had no grammatical direction. This old cognate found in all Semitic languages is crucial in proving that Sumerian is an artificial language.
