[QUOTE]Originally posted by Asar Imhotep: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: Asar, you are not going to drag me into your trademark battle royals. ES vereran posters have called you out for blatant defiance of Egyptian dictionaries entries and linguistics textbooks. [/QUOTE]Because a poster on ES has been here for a long time does not mean they are scholars of any sort as your posts continue to prove. Dictionaries are often wrong, which is why new dictionaries correct older ones (some of which I've cited in the text). Because something is found in a dictionary does not mean it means what it says. There are journal articles, texts, written prior that make arguments for words' meaning(s), which was never done for Km.t. A matter of fact, the earliest dictionaries do not even defined Km.t. It is left blank and only Erman & Grapow defined it as "black land" with no justification or discussion in prior texts. Everyone else just copied the Wb dictionary. As we are discovering now, the Wb has a whole bunch of entries wrong, just like Budge, which is why new dictionaries are being created with new data. That's how this works. [QUOTE]Asar's comeback: the textbooks are wrong, the dictionaries are wrong, and I'm right. Buy my book for 40 bucks and it will all be explained. [/QUOTE]I gave you the conclusions for free. The book is 500 pages and I'm not about to waste time to provide the analysis on this forum which took me 500 pages to write. Either you are interested in the conversation or you are not. If not, move on. If so, you know where the latest conversation is located and you can read it and come to your own conclusion. It's not rocket science. [QUOTE]Asar asks for feedback, but hides his books behind a paywall. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]I only ask for feedback from those who have read the text. I didn't ask for feedback from those who didn't. That makes no sense and would only be the logic of someone as lazy and non-sensical as you. [QUOTE]The fact that you misrepresent Diop (who has never argued kmt itself means black people), and the fact that 23 years of research has not taught you that kmt is just a set of consonents whose meaning depends on the determinative, reveals you are in no position to talk about the Egyptian language, much less write a book. =============== Anyone who wants a quick overview of Diop's comments can go here. Notice that, contrary to Asar's misrepresentations, Diop never claims kmt itself means black people, which would make no sense because kmt is just a set of consonants to be clarified by the determinative.[/QUOTE]So how would the people have known what the words meant while speaking with no determinatives? [/QB][/QUOTE]
