[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [QB] [QUOTE] AlTakruri wrote: Quoting the Greek Scriptures is a poor method for elucidating a Hebrew word, nor do Pharaonic Egyptic and Canaanitic Hebrew enjoy a parent child relationship.[/QUOTE]They definitely do have this relationship. I am not talking about a 'paternal' kinship, rather that Pharaonic Egyptian is the older of the two languages and has also heavily influenced the later Hebrew... [QUOTE] Djehuti wrote: Why is it so hard to accept that the Hebrew Amen is different from the Egyptian Amen. True that Egyptian 'amen' means hiddden, so why say "hidden" at the end of prayer? It makes no sense. Rather the Hebrew meaning sounds more accurate.[/QUOTE]It isn't hard to accept simply because the Hebrew 'Amen' [i]is[/i] derived from the Mdu Ntr: Here's an example of how this works; In the Mdu Ntr (and in Coptic), the words "Kushi", "Ekushi", "Thoshi", "Ethoshi" ALL mean essentially the same thing "frontiersman, Kushite, foreign Blacks, One who lives beyond our border, etc." Whether or not these terms were derived from the great Kingdom of Kush or it was the Kememou's description of those on Kemet's frontier/border is a question of 'the chicken or the egg.' (the same can be said of the word "Noub", were the peoples of this area named after the designation for it, or the area named after the peoples' own self-description?) The term "Kushi" entered the Hebrew language and even today, it means "Negro", and it is said to be [b]derived[/b] because of the ancient Hebrew respect for this civilization (Kushite). There are other words, many, that are derived from the Mdu Ntr and used in Hebrew; ie., Hmom = hot, Shem = small, little, Kem = black, and so on. [b]Amen is a name for God, just as one of the oldest Mdu Ntr words for God is "Yah", a word probably used before the pyramid age! Would one be puzzled that the later Hebrews would use the word "Yahweh" for God?...[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
