[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Quetzalcoatl: [qb] [QUOTE][qb]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: This post is silly. Your own translations of Malinke-Bambara 'si', means 'black, race etc. Brauner (1974) Si (1)—- kind, type, race (n) Delafosse, Si (high) – adverbe superlatif de “noir”(superlative for black). Bernardo, you are such a liar. . [/qb][/QUOTE]Right away to ad hominem. LOL I found (and unlike you quoted completely) the Brauner listing. However, there a lot more problems with your claims. 1) You have never provided a documented detailed etymology in Mande for Tutul Xiu. 2) [b]x[/b] in Maya is pronounced /sh/ but [b]s[/b] in Mande is pronounced as in “saw” /s/. In linguistics you compare identical sounds. 3) Further Delafosse (1929: 175) says that to pluralize add /u/ to a noun ending in a [b]nasal vowel and to certain pronouns. [si] is not a nasal vowel[/b]. Further on page 176-177 “Generally it is not necessary to use the plural suffix, unless it is needed to clarify the phrase. And [b]one never uses it when it deals with a name or word that explicitly indicate that it concerns several people or things. One omits the suffix when it follows words that convey a collective meaning [/b].—example of not use “the Europeans do not eat dog meat”. [b]Si[/b] as a people is a collective meaning. Bottom line you can’t according to Mande rules say [b]si-u[/b] for your collective meanings (family, race, descendants etc.) 4) The foremost meaning of [b]si[/b] Delafosse, Brauner, and Bird and Mamadou is “to pass the night”. The word “black” “negro” in Delafosse is fara-fi; moro-fi; fi; fi-ma. Bird and Mamadou agree on “fi”. As usual you are cherry picking but you have to provide linguistic evidence for your choice [/qb][/QUOTE]Below Delafosse Malinke-Bambara 'si' = collective meanings family, race, descendants etc .
