[QUOTE]Originally posted by DD'eDeN: [QB] Doug M. mentioned 'black-headed" Sumerians, that is the usual interpretation. I think it actually meant "soil-directed" aka farmers as opposed to nomadic herders and hunters-gatherers. On Iran, Yemen & Swahili; mashua is a boat used in Yemen, built by Iranian-descended Kuzmari, called mashua (non-Arabic, similar to Bantu terms for boat). I don't have enough data to verify these claims, but consider it plausible. --- from Sci.lang: > On Thursday, April 5, 2018 at 2:27:28 AM UTC-4, Helmut Richter wrote: > > [...] > > > > The simplest and most plausible explanation is that in the local > > language Kumzari this kind of boat has always been called "mashua" and > > the word has been exported to East Africa.

No. A Kumzari-speaking community in an Omanian exclave at the strait of Hormuz with only by few thousands of speakers. Thus an Iranian language spoken 30 miles away from Persia – remarkable but not miraculous. They brought the word to East Africa, where it was borrowed into Swahili. The Kumzari may have been too few to have travelled to East Africa in noticeable numbers. In this case, it is possible that Arabic-speaking mainland Omanis, for instance from Muscat, have borrowed the word into their dialect before exporting it to East Africa. -- [/QB][/QUOTE]
