[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] I'm all for using the indigenous words as much as possible. To that end YNTYW/jwntiw needs the anglo phoneme Antiu, "hillmen," to replace troglodyte, "hole dweller," which like the word nomad refers to living conditions not to ethnicity. Anybody anywhere in the world can be a troglodyte, like the former Hole Jews of the Libyan Djebels who have no relation to Herodotus' Aithiopian Troglodytes (c. 450 BCE) of the Western Desert "hunted" by the Garamantes nor Breasted's Troglodytes (c. 2500 BCE) in the Eastern Desert employed by the Kmtyw as miners, bowmen, etc. I don't object to the term Jew. Its an invalid anachronism to refer to Jews before there was a state of Judah. It's incorrect and imprecise to substitute Jew for Aamu, Retennu, Hyksos, Haribu, and whatnot, as sloppy and enthusiast "scholars" do. Each of the foregoing have their own precise meaning that need to be stuck to if we're to retain any clarity when discussing either of them, that is unless we want to be as intentionally obscurist as we accuse others of being in their blanket usage of the term "Nubia/Nubian."
