The term 'nigger' is derived from shade-shed-shield-shelter builder, which today would include architect, interior designer, mason, carpenter etc.
Dr. Winters says honkei is related to horseman or so, while my opinion is that it possibly meant 'rider' of boat, later horse, ass or camel(guessing).

There is a link between ~negro and built-shaded-enclosure.
The link to death came from shallow burial of a corpse within their dome hut which was then set afire as the group moved to a new camp.
Moving away from the rainforest meant less wood for fuel, so bodies were often buried with stones on top, which eventually became worked into tumuli, then some cultures used wood again to cover the body as a coffin, while others wrapped it.
English has numerous (partial) synonyms due to mixture with other languages, it has a huge vocabulary, it tends to have archaic words due to the same reason, in a sense it somewhat is a creole.

Spinnaker sail depends on wind from behind, the first sail was a mat held up to catch the breeze, then a punt pole or spear put it higher while handheld below, later evolved into mounted masts.

The term Necro came into existence because Greeks encountered Egyptian priests who were known for "communicating with the deceased".
This is indeed correct:
necropolis tombs/domes/dark/buried not *expo*sed
Pitifully Egyptian priests were all chastised and slaughtered by rise of the Copts.

Perhaps the words used for mummy wrapping might link to sailcloth & papyrus scroll? (An Etruscan prayer hymn was written on an Egyptian mummy wrap). - - -

A felucca (Arabic: فلوكة) is a traditional wooden sailing boat used in protected waters of the Red Sea and eastern Mediterranean including Malta, and particularly along the Nile in Egypt, Sudan, and also in Iraq. Its rig consists of one or two lateen sails.

So now, I'm looking whether felucca is linked to bwato(Lake Malawi dugout canoe) and to perahu(Malay dugout canoe).
Bantu agriculturalists plant Asian yams and bananas which were native to Malaya.
While the hand-axe and hafted axe are ancient in Africa, the adze is not. I think the adze, the dugout canoe, and flatbread (pita-pizza-pain-pan-naan) were all invented in Mollucas or Papua(where Sago palms grow naturally), by Paleo-Pygmy Yali women seeking tasty grubs which feed on the pith of the Sago palm. They modified the axe to cut and scoop out the starchy pith, leaving the hollow rind which is the shape of a canoe. These were the first dugout canoes, used to bring Asian crops west to India, Arabia and Africa. Possibly, these people were the very first "Phoenicians".

Ground-stone adzes are still in use by a variety of people in Irian Jaya (Indonesia), Papua New Guinea and some of the smaller Islands of Melanesia and Micronesia. The hardstone is ground on a riverine rock with the help of water until it has got the desired shape. It is then fixed to a natural grown angled wood with resin and plant fibers. The shape and manufacture of these adzes is similar to those found from the Neolithic stone age in Europe. A variety of minerals are used. Their everyday use is on a steady decline, as it is much more convenient to cut fire wood using imported steel axes or machetes. However, certain ceremonial crafts such as making canoes, ceremonial shields, masks, drums, containers or communal houses etc. may require the use of traditional-made stone adzes. --- Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphic of 'adze in block': "stp" = the chosen, choose from.

The term 'Lapita' was coined by archaeologists after mishearing a word in the local Haveke language, xapeta'a, which means 'to dig a hole' or 'the place where one digs', during the 1952 excavation in New Caledonia.[1][2] The Lapita archaeological culture is named after the type site where it was first uncovered in the Foué peninsula on Grande Terre, the main island of New Caledonia.
A mattock (Old English) is an adze + pick on wood handle. Mattaq (Inuit Eskimo) whale blubber flenzed with mattock-like tool. According to Sumerian mythology, the mattock was invented by the god Enlil.[6] Mattocks (Greek: μάκελλα) are the most commonly depicted tool in Byzantine manuscripts of Hesiod's Works and Days.[7]
Mattocks made from antlers first appear in the British Isles in the Late Mesolithic. They were probably used chiefly for digging, and may have been related to the rise of agriculture.[8] Mattocks made of whalebone were used for tasks including flensing – stripping blubber from the carcass of a whale – by the broch people of Scotland and by the Inuit.[9]

Sago palm (Not Cycad) The tree is of commercial importance as the main source of sago, a starch obtained from the trunk by washing the starch kernels out of the pulverized pith with water. This starch is used in cooking for puddings, noodles, breads, and as a thickener. In the Sepik River region of New Guinea, pancakes made from sago are a staple food, often served with fresh fish. Its leaflets are also used as thatching which can remain intact for up to five years.[4] The dried petioles (called gaba-gaba in Indonesian) are used to make walls and ceilings; they are very light, and therefore also used in the construction of rafts.
The sago palm reproduces by fruiting. Each stem (trunk) in a sago palm clump flowers and fruits at the end of its life, but the sago palm as an individual organism lives on through its suckers (shoots that are continuously branching off a stem at or below ground level). To harvest the starch in the stem, it is felled shortly before or early during this final flowering stage when starch content is highest. Sago palm is propagated by man by collecting (cutting) and replanting young suckers rather than by seed.[3]
Recent research indicates that the sago palm was an important food source for the ancient people of coastal China, in the period prior to the cultivation of rice.
