The verb create and the eagles have in common the same trick

Sumerian language was very rich in nouns but had a huge problem with the creation of verbs and adjectives. It was certainly an artificial language and creating new nouns was rather easy. The trouble started with verbs. How to create verbs in an artificial agglutinative tongue? That was a huge obstacle for a scribe.

Semitic scribes made sure that Sumerian had very few words borrowed from other languages. They tried to keep the secret of Sumerian under wraps. Then how could a scribe produce new stuff out of nowhere? Semitic scribes came up with a great idea.

How on earth did the Sumerian verb changed its phonetic value from [du] > [ru]? The answer is easy. Let us follow the word du [bild, create] in another context.

The Sumerian verb du [build] became [ru] create

ELA/ED IIIb/Girsu ku₆ [fish] GAN₂ [unit] uri₃ [standard] ru₂-a-kam [build {du}] VS 14, 132 o ii 1.

Sumerian sentence means:

ku₆ [fish] GAN₂ [unit] uri₃ [standard] ru₂-a-kam [build {du}] `a standart of fish was build'. The ending of the Sumerian verb a-kam is a pun of the Sumerian noun gan [unit]. That is why Sumerian grammar does not exist. Sumerian verbs receive their ending erratically. There is no solid ground for Sumerian grammar structure.

This is the final proof that any Sumerian word changed its phonetic value because of another adjacent Akkadian word which means the scribe of Sumerian was Akkadian. Sumerian language did not exist. It was an artificial tongue. Sumerian was born and died among the tablets. Sumerian gods, Semitic gods have been a product of manipulation. Our Christian god that we have borrowed from Semitic pantheon is a god that initially existed in a mud tablet. This is the irony of our modern computer age. We had to be fooled into believing an imaginary deity in order to dedicate our lives and energy to technological innovation in order to find that all our efforts to please the god we worship have been all in vain. Our pyramids are just quarries of our innocence. We have buried our memories into mud tablets. We humans are pathetic creatures in the chain of Darwinian evolution.
