I support "nut rage" South Korean lady

If someone like the South Korean executive Ms Cho, had been on the South Korean ferry, she would have forced it back into port when she found out that the captain was not at the wheel. Three hundred South Korean children would be alive today!

Panama

Very few people have the honor to be remembered beyond a thousand years; and yet memories of the things people say and do can live practically for ever. This leads to a situation where, with passage of time, peoples' deeds and words become "orphans", to use a common word-processing concept.  When this happens we assign our current "widows" to the orphans so formed and everybody is happy again. A lot of the pronouncements attributed to Churchill, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed were not said by them, but by different (earlier, or even later) people altogether.

Last week I was watching TV when it was said that the name Panama originates from Christopher Columbus reaching Panama, thinking that he had reached Asia and so stopping there. While it is highly plausible that the events described led to the naming of Panama, it is highly unlikely that Christopher Columbus was the actor in the drama.

The word Panama seems to be a corruption of the Kalanga phrase "Pa nda ma", meaning "where I have stopped". If that is indeed the origin of the name Panama, as legend seems to confirm, then the words were said not by Christopher Columbus but by the Anunnaki god Toth himself. Toth (or Ningishzidda) was sent away from Egypt to America by his father Enki, to make way for his brother Marduk/Ra. The conclusion we can draw from this is that his influence did not extend westwards, all the way to Asia!

India

There is little to say about India, because India is an un-corrupted Kalanga word. If there is any corruption, it is in the difference between the sounds "ya" and "a". Surely, the two sounds are interchangeable?

The Kalanga verb "KU DIYA" means "TO TEACH". (I submit that "KU DIA" is another way of writing the same verb). A teacher is therefore "Ndiya" or Ndiyi". Ancient Kalanga, like Nguni, used the prefix "i-" as part of the noun. Therefore "i-ndiya" or "i-ndia" or for that matter "i-ndiyi" means "teacher". In mordern Kalanga "i-ndia" is a sentence, meaning "it's a teacher".

This strongly suggests that the Anunnaki used Indians as the "gurus" that the latter still are today.

Maybe not so wrong, after all!

I made a claim which I later retracted, that the Chinese are "Ba-Chena", meaning "Whites" in Kalanga language. My reason for retraction was that originally, all humans were of one colour anyway, and that human groups were named solely according to what they did in society. That remains my conviction.

However, some human groups were dressed in a manner appropriate for what they did. Such were the Chinese, who were responsible for producing and handling drinking water, and whom the Anunnaki consequently dressed in white.  As a result the Kalanga word for "white" was derived from the word for Chinese, and not vice versa.

The Kalanga verb for "To dig" is "Ku tsha". Unfortunately I cannot think of any English word with the sound "tsh-". It is an aspired "ts" as in "Bots". The Anunnaki word for "water/rain" is "ina". On Mars, "ina" (plural - mana) meant "frozen carbon dioxide" which rained from heaven. On earth the same word was used to refer to water/rain. And so the Chinese became "Ba-Tsha-ina", meaning "water diggers".

Chinese languages, and Bushman languages have a lot in common, and they all refer to water as "Tshaa or tshae" or something similar. As time passed, some human groups dropped the "tsha" from the name for Chinese, leaving only "Ba-ina". Interestingly, "Ba-ina" is the Russian word for "war"!

The Kalanga word for "white" is "chena". The Kalanga truncated the full phrase "che-ina" meaning "the water one", that is "the water person/practitioner". Therefore the Kalanga word for "white" was derived from the colour of Chinese working uniform. Yes, this means I was wrong for suggesting that the source of the chicken is the egg, rather than the egg being the source of the chicken; I mean the chicken being the source of... whatever!

In previous posts I have identified the Anunnaki prefix - "bel-"  as meaning "to dig". I still stand by that. However it seems that "bel-" was used more in reference to mining and stone masonry than to simply digging into the ground for water. There was, nonetheless a confusion in the use of the two words - "tsha" and "bel-". The German name "Berlin" which is said to mean "swamp" may be testimony to this confusion - "Bel-ina ?".

Even for me, who understand ZERO Chinese, the trace of Kalanga language in China is unmistakable. If you speak Kalanga, and ever watched a Chinese panda bear eating bamboo, you would realise that the bear couldn't have been called anything else but a PANDA. The Kalanga word "panda" means just that - crunching something hard. In the case of pain, it means "throbbing" as in a "throbbing head-ache".

Jerusalem

This week's entry in the column "Digging Tswana Roots" by I.M. Leteane of Pitoronet.com, together with this week's entry in the column "This Earth my Brother" by Benson C. Saili in the WeekEndPost newspaper, seem most appropriate, given the current unrest in Jerusalem.

I have been reminded of an anomaly pointed out to me on the Internet. The Bible, at 2 Chronicles, Chapter 14, verse 9 states:

"And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand; and three hundred chariots; and came unto Maresshah."

Most significantly, verse 15 states:

"They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem."

Now, my question is this:
How did they by-pass Egypt, to get from Ethiopia to Jerusalem ?. At the very least they should have negotiated a military  path past "Upper Egypt", before embarking on the journey back to Jerusalem. We know how long that journey, accross the Red Sea, had taken Moses to complete - 40 years or so in the Wilderness.

Please shed some light, will you!

I was wrong!

Deep in the ancient past I wrote that the Chinese are "Ba-Chena", meaning "Whites". Obviously I was wrong. All human groups were initially named according to what they did, and not what they looked like, for the simple reason that we ALL looked alike!

Only later when beliefs emerged to divide humanity, were groups then named accordingly. Ba-Ra, meaning "Ra's followers" were such a group.

The Chinese are a hard nut to crack. I can't see what link if any there is between the Chinese and the city of Berlin. Yet Kalanga language suggets that there may well be. It's something to do with "rain" or "water" - "ina" in Kalanga. It seems that the Chinese may have been the group responsible for digging for water. I can't work it out. I have been at it for years but the solution eludes me.

"Peaceful and transparent" elections.

A report in today's The Botswana Gazette newspaper caught my eye. It's reported that the African Union Election Observation Mission (AUEOM) preliminary statement has declared the just ended Botswana general elections peaceful and transparent. The report quotes the leader of the mission, former Malawi President Joyce Banda as saying:

"...The mission recommends the counting and posting of results at the polling stations in order to avoid logistical and operational challenges in the transfer of election material and counting of votes".

In a 2012 post entitled "Motion on Direct Presidential Election is a waste of time" in the blog Nkalangaunozwida, I recommended something similar in item number 4:

4. Voting should continue to be by secret ballot, but NO BALLOT BOX should be allowed to move until the election officials, including party representatives, have counted AND publicly announced the votes contained therein.
