And at this point I must acknowledge my possible mistake about Barwa being Ba-Ra. It seems most plausible that Barwa could infact be Ba-Rua, meaning "those who raise (cattle)". It makes sense that the Barwa called themselves by a name which is directly opposite that by which they referred to the people whose lands they invaded to graze their herds - Bakhwa.

ReplyDeleteDo you know the 'T' and 'R' are used interchangeably in Bantu languages? In Zulu and other central African languages the very same short statured people are known as Batwa, in Kalanga transliteration as Bathuwa. In the seRolong dialect they are refered to as Barwa. Typical changes in sound are 'rata-thato', 'ruta-thuto', 'rapela-thapelo' and 'rola-tholo' from whence the Rolong totem was derived, erroneously thought to mean Kudu-Thôlô. See the 'r' changes to 'th', pay special attention to the following.
ReplyDeleteThe Kalanga verb "ku thuwa" in Sotho languages is spelt 'go r(th)uwa/rua' from whence the noun Baruwi/rui is derived, and as such cannot be presented as a noun "Bathuwa" in Kalanga without a change in sound. This is clearly a made up word not informed by a language rule.
If indeed the term was dirived from something to do with cattle rearing, it is suppose to bear same meaning in the Chichewa, Zulu and other Bantu languages that identify this group as Batwa. Instead 'Khuwa, khwa, or kgwa' is an expression used to indicate the act of spitting. When an obeject or whale has been beached or anything that come from the sea, we say 'e Kgwelwe ke lewatle' from the verb khwa/kgwa. The first European settlers as such were given the name Mokgowa - Bakgowa/Bakhwa (with the deregotory term Lekgowa) to signify that they were "spat" by the sea (literally meaning they came via the sea). In tshiVhenda language they are refered to as Mukhuwa and (B)Makhuwa, the latter is commonly used by Batswana in general.
You obviously have done a lot of research on this. Therefore no one can say you are wrong. However, you and I are approaching history from different perspectives. My baseline is the arrival of the Anunnaki on earth, the time when all human history seems to have begun.
DeleteMy posts on forums.gov.bw as Zwidenkalanga under the forum "Social development", were put up before I was aware of the Anunnaki phenomenon. However, I was already aware of a rather strange order to human antiquity. In there you will find that I even attempted to explain why the totem of some Barolong is Tshipi; it all started at Mapungubwe.
I know and have read the translation of the Sumerian tablets by Zacharia Sitchin's Lost Book of Enki. Using Anu-nna-ki as a baseline is ok but remember the so called engineered humanoid by the time Anunnaki arrive was already walking on two legs and had massive facial hair which the book says made our ancestors to look like lions. So far there's no Homo-errectus simulation/modelling that matches this discription, deliberate perhaps? makes one wonder.
ReplyDeleteIt really makes sense that indeed the 1st one government ruler in Nibiru was Anu and therefore Nibiruans identified themselves as subjects of Anu, hence Nibiruans on Earth called themselves Anu-nna-ki meaning 'subjects of Anu that stay on earth' and their offsprings, especially those that where concieved after Anu's royal visit on Ki (Earth) where called Ba-anu meaning 'people of Anu'.
By removing the Annunaki's arrival as a baseline, one begins to understand why the hybrid humanoids speech evolved into inserting 't' or 'th' giving the name Ba'ntu which has ties with the name 'Lowe' that you have linked to 'ku wa' (amazing). Enki himself ended believing this to be some kind of interwoven destinies, that no matter what they did, the reality was that, they were also pawns in the creation story of Ki. Of interest is that the 1st creature the Anunnaki castaway encounted on earth was a water snake.
Unfortunately, I have not read any of Sitchin's books. Our local bookshops sell only the bible. They used to sell other books, but there was no business. Nobody reads; save perhaps the president!
DeleteYour writing is very informative, and revealing. I have always wondered why some Barolong have tholo (kudu) as their totem while others have "tshipi". I fully understand the origin of the tshipi totem, as I have written on forums.gov.bw. You have now (inadvertantly) revealed to me that infact ALL Barolong (including you) have "tshipi" as their totem, and this is how:
The "tholo" is not from "go rola" as you put it, but from the Kalanga "thulo".The Kalanga noun in turn comes from the phrase "ku thula tshipi", meaning "go thula tshipi". So, evidently in Kalanga tshipi can also be referred to as "thulo". And by the way, the word "tshipi" is Kalanga too. It means "where dig?" It comes from the verb "Ku tsha" meaning "to dig" and "pi?", meaning "where?". That was a common question posed by Bahumbe/(Ma)Tebele as they dug Gold for the Anunnaki in the mines of Francistown/Nyangabwe.
And now the Anunnaki, Motholong! You say the name unpacks to Anu-nna-ki, meaning "Anu's people who stay on earth". I beg to differ. You have probably heared the Shona phrase "Zwakanaka", which simply means "It's good". The verb "Ku naka" in Kalanga means to be good/beautiful. So the phrase "Anu-nnaki" simply means "Anu the good".
The linguistic rules governing ancient Kalanga were, by mordern standards, very loose. Whereas today a verb which ends in "-a" changes to a noun ending in "-i", such as "Ku ja" changing to "Baji", ancient Kalanga kept the "-a" end even for the noun. Examples abound - "i-ndiya" meaning India, from the verb "Ku diya"meaning "to teach"; Nkhwa from "Ku khwa" meaning "to dry"; Ntugwa (Motlokwa) from "Ku tugwa", meaning "to be offloaded" or in Sesotho "go rolwa".
You seem to think that Barwa are the people we call Basarwa in Botswana. They are not. I will write a lot more about the Basarwa in my blog "myikalanga.blogspot.com" in the near future.
Your writing is also informative, and revealing . I have advanced some of my research using it, except for your Kalaka-centric views which really messes up a good ground work. Unfortunately the above is based on a vacuum. Even though Sumerian linguistically is related to the Niger Congo languages, this affinities wont be satisfied by a single language (i.e Sekalaka) for they are multi layered.
DeleteAn, was the 1st one government ruler of Nibiru. His spouse/wife's name was An.Tu, their 1st born was named An.Ki and their middle son was named An.Ib. It is from the succession of An.Ib that An.U was born
An.u (named after his forefather An) was Nibiru's ruler when the An.u.nna.ki came to Earth. Ki is the Nibiruan name for Earth (firm ground), Ki.ngu is the Earth's Moon, Ki.engi was "Land of the lofty watchers" 1st region of "civilization" and Ki.shi was name for the 1st city of men where kingship began. Nibru.Ki was name for the Mission control centre on Earth, Unug.Ki was a city built for Anu's 1st royal visit. So using the Swati and Sotho-Tswana languages, one arrives at the underlying meaning of -nna.ki that is 'stay on earth or firm ground' from the Sotho-Tswana phrase 'nna fatshe' and its many variations
Bear in mind u cannot translate ancient text as if the language speakers were in par with 21st century language developments. It takes more sounds today to communicate than it did Aeons ago.
Coming to the Blacksmith of Ra, that is BaRolong. Ever wondered why the Rolong and their offshoots use the Ra preposition on their name & surnames? Do you know the relationship between Lead metal (Morodu) and smithing? The latter is the lost knowledge of the original Blacksmith but will try to elaborate on my next reply here or on your other blog
