[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: ...for starters here's some linguistic data comparing Fulani / Mdu Ntr... I - mi / ni you - on / un we - en / un they - be / bu (people) to be bad - bonude / boone bad - boni / bon death; to die - maayde;maayude / maati, moute, moout, mouti last year - rawanen / snouf; ronpe eye - yitere / eirti blessing - barka / baraka cow - nagge / naga father - baaba / baba ... the evidence is inexhaustible... [/QUOTE]Just to punch a hole in your rationale, I'll just demonstrate a few examples. Let's take say, "you" in ancient Egyptian. A number of words can mean "you" in ancient Egyptian: e.g.-- tn (m, dep.), ntk (m, indep.), tn (f or p, dep.), ntt (f, indep.) or nttn (p, indep.); not to leave out affixed counterparts like -- '-k' (m), '-t' (f), or '-tn' (p). As one can see, it is more complex than presented in the so-called "Fulani/Mdu ntr" list cited above. None of these are taken into account in Wally's "selective" list. Another example, let's take "I". Here too, number of derivatives come to attention: 'Wi/wy' (m, dep.), 'ink' (m, indep.), and affixed -- '-i'. The same can be demonstrated for several of the other terms listed. [/QB][/QUOTE]
