Other loan words in Quiche from Malinke-Bambara include: [list] [*]Quiche Malinke-Bambara saq'e daytime,sunlight sa 'heaven, sky' k'i many .. kika ja lineage, family . ga, gba ja water .. ji q'aq fire ga-ndi palo lake, sea .. ba, b'la k'oto to carve, cut ka k':um squash kula, kura Ba father . fa Ba lord .Ba 'great' (Person) ka 'land,earth' ka 'suffix joined to names of lands,etc. naal parent, .. mother na cah earth, .. land ka (see above) balam jaguar/tiger . balan 'leopard worship' xuku?

[/qb][/QUOTE]Clyde is shifting tactics, originally claims were that Mande and Maya were genetically related but this caused problems because the initial tool for comparing these languages is the Swadesh word list, which lists basic words that have a low probability of being loansnot the randomly selected words that Winters likes to use. Now he call his correspondences as loans into Ki7che7 to give himself a better cherry picking opportunity. There is no need to even do his correspondences. Loan words are usually items, or things that are foreign or new to the recipient language and there would be no reason for regular shifts, Unless, the sound does not exist in the recipient language, for example words lent form Nahuatl to Spanish- here we have hundreds of examples. Nahuatl has a /tl/ which in Spanish become /te/-coyotl-coyote, popotl-popote, chocolatl-chocolate,petlatl-petate,zacatl-zacate,zapotl-zapote.- this is what a real correspondence looks likenotice the vowels are the same. More important here is that Winters has a time problem Several of his examples actually have proto-Maya roots, i.e. they existed a thousand years before there was a Ki7che7 language. Why would the Maya borrow a name for jaguar which is a native species from African Mande, which doesnt have jaguars? Perhaps what really happened is that say 500 B.C. proto Maya loaned these words to Mande. The list below is English, proto-Maya, Ki7che7, Winters Ki7che7, and Winters Mande. The 7 is the consonant glottal stop that cant be ignored. These cant be loans from Mande because they existed in Maya before there was a Ki7che7 language and before Clydes presumed contact. [list] [*]English ProtoMaya ki7che7 winters winters dog *tz7i7 tz7i7 canoe *tyem , *johm jucub xuku? kulu earth *kab ulew ka7 ka squash *k7uhm k7um k7:um kula, kura lord *7ahjaw ajaw ba ba mother *naa nan naal na jaguar *b7ahlam balδm balam balan sun, day *q7iihng q7ij saq7e sa [/list] Brown, C.

[/qb][/QUOTE]The Olmec are the Mother Culture of Mexico. The Olmec spoke a Mande lanbguage. As a result, the Olmec influence on Mayan languages preceeds the founding of the Mayan Classical Civilizations which are founded on Olmec prototypes. Many pyramids are of Olmec origin. This is evident in the dragon motifs. [IMG]http://olmec98.net/oldramotif.png[/IMG] This Olmec motif is found on pyramids that were covered over by later Mayan pyramids. These subpyramids were probably built by the Olmec. . [IMG]http://olmec98.net/preclassicpyramid.gif[/IMG] [/qb][/QUOTE]irrelevant spam.
