[QUOTE]Originally posted by DD'eDeN: [QB] Shekel, as I noted, seems to fit xy-golu which could be sky-coil, skin-gold, shine-curl, shell/scale or others. But in particular, shekel seems to link to !hxaro (KhoiSan) etched eggshell exchange. Making, gifting and trading of center-punched/drilled ostrich shell disks strung on twined fiber necklaces & bracelets was extremely common in the Old world, from Southern Africa to Sea of Galillee to Ukraine, some ancient graves had thousands of the round flat beads along with a few pierced snail shells or shiney stones. They likely gave rise to the abacus and holed Chinese coins. Seems to me "shekel" is very ancient, not recently invented. It is likely related to cheltia round-shield (Aztec) and ma'gal round fort (Hebrew). Perhaps using leather money represented oxen. Modern money valuation in loans ie. Interest originated in the care-taking of a herd of cows to distant pastures and the care-taker later receiving the calves as interest. DD ~ David ~ Da'ud ~ Diode ~ ∆^¥°∆ [/QB][/QUOTE]
