[QUOTE]Originally posted by Yom: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Israel: [QB] Whats happening Yom? You don't agree with Ayele Bekerie? I flipped through some of his book today. I found it quite interesting......[/QUOTE]Some of the stuff he says is interesting, but most of it is useless.[/quote] [QUOTE]One thing that he quotes in the book is that in at least three seperate documents written in Geez, it was said that the language of Geez came from HAM! Now, if that is significant, I don't know what is.......[/QUOTE]These are simply church documents and have no bearing on linguistics. It is undeniable that Ge'ez is Semitic, as are all of its successors. [QUOTE]And since the Sabeans were of the lineage of Kush(Cush), as was the Ethiopians, then regardless of Sabean influence, the Geez script is ought to be recognized as being Kushitic! Yeah, it may be Semitic, but the language itself came from the lineage of Kush![/QUOTE]Sabaeans are only Kushitic in the Bible. Their language is, like Ge'ez, undoubtedly Semitic. Kushitic (Cushitic in modern times) is a linguistic terms that by its definition excludes Ge'ez because it is a [i]Semitic[/i] language. I'm guessing that your statement that "the language itself came from the line of Kush" is a comment actually on the people, as per what I just said. Otherwise, are you rejecting modern scholarship's classification of these languages? [QUOTE]However, I would agree with you Yom that Ethiopic(Geez) developed on its own...[/QUOTE]Not necessarily on its own, but that its predecessor existed originally in both Ethiopia and South Arabia. [QUOTE]Why is the Sabean influnence EMPHASIZED SO MUCH? Do we ponder to such great extent the influence of Ancient Greek upon the Latin language????? Do ya'll know what I'm saying? [/QUOTE]True. [QUOTE]Anyway, Ayele's book is really intriguing in terms of the philosophical and theological content. Deep stuff. Salaam [/QUOTE]I agree with you here, but since I know little about Church matters, I could be wrong. [/QB][/QUOTE]
