[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [b] No,Egyptians had many names for nomadic desert people everything from Bedu to Shansu to Namu. Aamu was a generic term that reffered to most foregin Asiatic people. This also included sedentary populations. ''Coastal Libyans......Lebu'' Lebu could mean either Tehennu or Tamhou. Another term was Meshwesh that also included both Tehennu and Tamhou. ''Arabia....................Aribi; Deshret'' Arab is not an ancient Kemetic word. It's a term that means to wander or move around reffering to nomadic bedouin tribes across the so-called Middle East. Desert means red land reffering to the non-fertile red part of the country of Egypt. '' ''Ethiopia.................Ethaush; Ethosh (frontier;boundary;border)'' No equivalent Coptic word for this ezist. Show me a Sahidic or Boharic Coptic term for the so-called word you are using. Ethiopia comes from the Greek term burnt face people or Aethiopies. [/b][/QUOTE] All of these terms are, except "Ethiopia" are to be found in Budge's dictionary. Oamu as you have yourself confirmed referred to Asiatics, which is what I said. There are a whole bunch of terms for nomads, I know. Lebu, literally means "by the coast" Deshret means "red; evil; etc." and is not relegated strictly to the desert, or the "red land." The coptic words, I discovered, inadvertently, in researching the Canaan discussion, in a bible dictionary. I'll look it up and source it. It is stated, conventionally, that the term Ethiopia is as you stated. I disagree with its etymology. [/QB][/QUOTE]
