WHAT IF

The quest for discovering the primordial language began when trade started to flourish in the fertile crescent. Semitic people realized that the words of foreign languages were very similar with the words of their own. That gave them the idea that gods created the confusion among the humans on purpose. The idea to rebuild the primordial language and therefore unite mortals with the gods gave them courage to embark in the most bizarre and dangerous journey of man, the mission of recreating that primordial tongue. Semitic people believed like many linguists do today that the monosyllabic sounds were the first words of man. They assumed that words related to physiological reactions of our body and the onomatopoeic sounds that result from them must be the first words of mankind. Of course they were wrong and we know that now but they pursued this idea further when they discovered the power of numbers and their positional value to one another in a diagram.

What you are going to read will rattle your mind. Is it possible that man erased the language of his ancestors and created the medium of speech from scratch? The answer to this question is very disturbing even if humans did not actually succeed in inflicting upon themselves a calamity of that scale. The very effort is inhumane. Trying to cleanse the current language is like erasing the entire part of history and human evolution with one stroke of a stylus.

The example of the peacock's name sent shivers throughout my body. Semitic people have recorded the determinative to say the name of the peacock. What if this syndrome goes much deeper than that? What if that is not an isolated example of determinative reading? I decided to check out my fears and the nightmare became a reality.

We already know that Sumerian is an artificial language and we also know that Semitic people made the grave mistake of identifying the phonetic value attached to numbers with the numbers themselves.

They took the power of the word and the power of the number at face value. If a number had to be divided into fractions so had to be divided its phonetic base into smaller words as well. This led to the creation of the abstract gods, legitimate abstract beings who were not created by man but by the logical division of numbers. Semitic people thought that they had discovered the numbers when in fact numbers exist on their own.

When they realized this fact it was too late. Semitic people had previously assumed that artificial words created by the division of numbers would be independent gods on their own as they did not need human intervention to exist. In philosophy this process of thinking is called sophism. But a primitive man who had just discovered complex mathematics had never heard of sophism which was a Greek term that would be invented several thousand years later. The moment Sumerian was born it created a huge problem. The positional value that worked for the numbers did not work so much for the words.

Words unfortunately have no positional value. And if you divide a meaningful word into two parts what you get are not two gods but two gibberish words without any meaning or value. Sumerian project started very badly from the start. Because Sumerian was incompatible with the real world a conflict arose between the written word and the spoken word. Therefore the language engineers decided to alter the spoken word to suit their Sumerian needs. I initially thought that Sumerian was a representation of the spoken word. I could not have been more mistaken in my assumption. I believed that the spoken word was rock solid, unshakable. Well, that is not what Semitic people thought.

Semitic scribes in Akkad decided to completely erase the previous language of man and build it anew, according to the laws of mathematics. How much they damaged the spoken word in this way it remains to be seen but from time to time I will reveal Semitic words that have unfortunately followed the abstract path of mathematics. We can detect language engineering using a simple tool, trying to detect those Semitic words that read the determinative. The determinative was not supposed to be read aloud but to point out the category of a noun or a verb. If the scribes had been native speakers they would not have read the determinative, but Sumerian gods are pure mathematical fractions, they are not real people. Therefore every time a Semitic person memorized the determinative it means he did not understand that word. The word basically was alien to his language.

Note:

As we can see Sumerian DUG-URU×MIN+NI+GA was abbreviated and altered into DUG-GA-URU = Akkadian ŠAKIRRU

This is a good example of the way Sumerian phonetic value of a compound was created. We can see the interaction of a freshly created word and its interpretation, the way it was read by the real people. We can observe how a midwife is expecting the birth of an artificial baby so to speak, a genetically modified word, a word that was not created in the wild. It is as if we are observing the gods at the moment of creation but in this case gods are humans and the born artificial words will soon be appointed by humans as their masters. A man creates an artificial child and than names it as a genuine one, giving it power and prestige.

Also: šer₄, šeru, šir₄, širam, širim, širu, širum, usu_x(UZU).

clearly the Akkadian word uz-nu [ear] has a mixed etymology of the first element of the determinative UZ [flesh] + -NU [the second syllable of the Akkadian I-NU [eye]

This is a clear example that the mixture of the two elements has been done on purpose by the scribe who wanted to invent a new name for the ear in Akkadian. It is a pure violation of any ethical rules that a linguist must have. This is one step on the Sumerian tablet and one giant leap towards forgery.

Sumerian gu₂ [back] - tal₂ [broad] = Akkadian ku-tal-lu [back]
