Anon ne Ni Kmomou - We are The Blacks ("Egyptians")

Anok ang ouKeme - I am a black (from the Coptic bible translation of the
Song of Songs)

Anok ang ouRmnk - I am a person of Black ("Egyptian") (Rmnk from Rwmi n Keme)

`n;oc te terosh - She is red (light skinned)

`n;oc te keme - She is black

Good work Wally. This is what Egyptologist learn when they pursue their PhD. They usually have to learn Coptic/Egyptian and also Arabic so they can work with the nationals when conducting primary research in the Middle East.

To conduct research in Mesopotamia you would learn either Akkadian, Assyrian or Sumerian and Arabic. Once you learn Arabic, Assyrian is easy to learn.

When you learn the ancient languages used by Blacks people, it is hard for Eurocentrists to hide the truth.

THUS;

T3 (TA, TE, TI) - "THE" (FEMININE SINGULAR)

N3 (NA, NE, NI) - "THE" (NON-GENDER SPECIFIC PLURAL)

Learning the Arabic is cool, but your best bet is to learn the African languages because they tell you more. To me Coptic is really too much influenced by Greek so you miss out on the real Jewels. For instance,

RMT = People (i.e., rmt n km.t)
ROME/LOME = People in Coptic

What they don't realize is that the /m/ sound is also an /n/. They claim Egyptians didn't have an /L/ sound which is not true. The "mouth" glyph is an L and an R depending on regional dialect. M/N/L is a common sound shift.

What the Egyptologists render as REMET or REMETJ is really LUNTU (people).

Egyptian Bantu
R L
M/N N
T/tj T

LUNTU is another variation of MUNTU. MUNTU not only means person in the singular, but "essence of humanity" in general.

One should also note that there is a people in Zaire called LUNTU, just like their are Ethiopians called CHAMAI. These various designations for the "names" of the "Kemites" are specific ethic groups or just general names for "People."

In Egyptian their is also WANTU which is a variation of BANTU (BA > WA) in Kiswhahili. Oral tradition of many Bantu people say they once belonged to an empire called BUNTU or BANTU. In the Egyptian records they have BATU as a "Sudanic country origin unknown." This is in fact Nigeria/Cameroon. This is home of the BATU/BUNTU/BANTU people. In Nigeria, the Igbo name for the so-called pigmies, the Twa, is called PA-NCHI. The Greeks called PUNT by the name PANCHEA (PA-NCHI).

PANCHI = PANCHEA (Greek)
PUNT = BUNTU, BATU, BANTU

Learn the Luba language.

Notice how the stubbornly ignorant choose to debate the ethnicity of
the Ancient Egyptians by way of their own subjective interpretations
of images, cranial measurements, Greek and Roman accounts...as if these,
the most literate folks - the Kememou - were silent on this very significant
aspect of their national identity!

Indeed, you actually have idiots who miraculously and suddenly
become catatonic and confused as to what "Black people" means!?!
Let them continue with their incessant "debates" of denial...

we shall continue with the presentation of objective evidence - the most
important of which are the words of the Kememou themselves!

IT'S SIMPLY HILARIOUS AND MORBIDLY EERIE
THAT IN THE 21ST CENTURY, THAT SUBJECTIVE PEOPLE
INSIST UPON IMPOSING THEIR OWN OPINIONS ON
THE ETHNICITY OF THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS, WHEN THE
ANCIENT EGYPTIANS THEMSELVES HAVE ALREADY CLEARLY
AND EMPHATICALLY EXPLAINED THIS MOST IMPORTANT
ASPECT OF THEIR NATIONALITY!

...LET THE FOOLS CONTINUE TO IGNORE AND RAMBLE...

Hi Wally, could you give an example in medu neter in which Kammau is preceded by na, i.e to complete the word we are blacks?

Forgive my ignorance.

OK,
Go up four posts or to my opening post (press your 'home' key);
now read carefully what Budge writes:

"Kammau, with NA,"

What Budge is telling us is that whenever he encounters the word "Kammau",
it is usually preceded by "Na" - which would be consistent with both Ancient
and Modern (Coptic) Egyptian...

Self-delusion
A recent post started out with "Some claim that Kemet means black people".
The key word in this first statement is "claim" which is a synonym for "believe",
which seeks to place a human language in the same category as religion. One can
believe in or not believe in God, that's one thing; but you don't believe that
"veni" in Latin means "I came"; you either KNOW it or you don't.
However, this delusion leads to one that has been fabricated by the distorters of
Egyptology.

Assisted delusion
"The Egyptians called their country "Kmt" or "Kemet" which means "Black" after
the color of the soil."
This is simply an absolute lie. There is nothing in the grammar, even if one were to
use an electron microscope to search for an example, that the soil or earth had any
connection with the usage of this word. The only references to the soil in the names
of Ancient Egypt were the names "TaMeri and TaMere"; "Ta" meaning "earth, land, etc."
This mantra is almost always repeated to "inform" the reader of why the word "Black"
for Egypt and Egyptians was used, and probably using the age old philosophy that if
you repeat a lie often enough, and long enough, it soon becomes accepted as the truth.
NOT if one knows better...
