[QUOTE]Originally posted by Asar Imhotep: [QB] Again, when you learn the basics of Linguistics, you will see where Archdeacon Lucas got many things wrong in his work, including the concept of ran-i. Ran means to remember, it is not used for name. I have already demonstrated that. This is the next book you need to purchase: Yoruba Names: Their structure and their meanings by Modupe Oduyoye. Dr. Lucas was not a linguist. Modupe is and a native speaker. This is what you quoted in regards to Obatala: [QUOTE] MDU NTR: ALA_WA = EXALTED ONE YORUBA: OBAT_ALA, FATHER OF ALL THE ORISHAS AND ALL OF HUMANITY YORUBA: OLU_WA = OUR GOD ARABIC: ALLAH = GOD [/QUOTE]What was incorrect was your association of ALLAH with Yoruba ALA. One means God the other is White Light. We can make an argument that RA, AL and ALA (Yoruba) are cognate based on light. But not TALA and ALLAH without explanation of the /t/ and the fact that ALLAH is AL-Ilah (the God). Yoruba OLU (lord, master, God) is Cognate with ALA/ALLAH. And OLUWA is "head" and is ORUWO in the Ijebu dialect. The Cognate in Hebrew is 'lwh (God). It does not break down into "our god." It is based off the same root as ORI (head), Ras (Semitic - head), ORISA (head, God), hry (Egyptian, upper, headman). [/QB][/QUOTE]
