[QUOTE]Originally posted by Asar Imhotep: [QB] To finish my commentary in regards to the Hebrews. This is taken from my response to another poster on another forum, but applies to this discussion as well: [QUOTE] We also have to remember that Apiru is a generic term. Here linguistics provides some insight as to how to properly interpret the word “Hebrew.” The first thing you have to know is common sound shifts. For our purpose, here is what you need to memorize: b > p > f, and r > l When trying to figure out a possible etymology for a word, always read the source material for context, and compare to other related languages. This way you don’t fall into the trap of folk etymology. In the Bible, EBER is the name of the ancestor of the ben-ey ‘Eber’ “sons of Eber.” These are the ‘iber-iym, “the Hebrews” (Gen. 10:21, 24; 11”14-17). This name for Eber is comparable to the wandering Fulani of west Africa known as ABORE in Nigeria, and BORORO in Chad; FULA in Senegal/Gambia; PEUL in Guinea; PULO in Senegal/Gambia (Ful-be plural). The b-r/p-l/p-r/f-l root can be found in many African languages and proves that Hebrew is not an ethnic designation, but a title given to a people, by other people. Observe: Abar (Hebrew): cross over, trespass, pass on, pass by abo’r suwfah: wind whistling by boro (Twi): to trespass boro-fo: passer-by, alien, European puro (Bachama): to exceed afara (Yoruba): bridge ibara: ford ibara-(mu): across (the nose) eburu: shor cut (across an area) afere: breeze The Hebrews got their name because, them being nomads, they were always seen “passing by” the cities of Canaan, for example, in mass: never settling. The -b-r root means “pass on, pass by” in Judges 19:12b, 18a and in Ruth 4:1. “We shall not turn aside into a city of strangers who are not part of ben-ey yisera’el. No. We will ‘aBar until Gibe’ah [Judg. 19:12] For 4 millennium the -b-r have been in and out of Africa as far as the Western savannah (= Hebrew sefelah). Your Fula-ni (-ni is a suffix denoting ethnic group/people) are descendants of the ben-ey ‘Eber. The Pula are the relics of the Apiru. We have to remember that the Fulani phenotype is atypical of West Africa, and why researchers ultimately give an east African origin for them. The “Hebrews” were everywhere in ancient times. Dr. GJK Campbell-Dunn (a linguist) has even discussed the Fulani in Minoa in ancient times in his book Who Were The Minoans: An African Answer. The Fulani, in regards to their association with the Moors and their role in the slave trade, exhibit the same behavior as discussed among the baKame (Egyptians) of the Apiru, and the sons of Eber’s own testimony in the Old Testament. They were invaders and raiders and never had a “homeland.” The Israelites are the branch of the Apiru/Fula that settled in Canaan. In Fulfulde “sire” is cognate with Yoruba “sile,” Hebrew “saluwy” (settled). Once they “saluw’y” in Canaan did they become Israelites. The very language is Canaanite. Isaiah the Israelite prophet refers to the Hebrew as sefat kena’an “the speech of Canaan” (Isa. 19:18), because the iber-iym adopted sefat kena’an when they invaded Canaan. When these same iber’iym went into West Africa, they adopted the West Atlantic languages and why the Fula-ni languages are considered Niger-Congo, not Afro-Asiatic. If you want to start understanding the Hebrews, look into the Fulani first. There is your African connection. [/QUOTE]This may lend some evidence that the Afri (Aourigha) people (from which the name Africa came) may have been given this name because they were semi-nomadic. The word could possibly mean "a passer by." I am still doing some investigation. [/QB][/QUOTE]
