What does Kalanga mean?

Kalanga language is essentially a composite language. It is composed of many monosyllable terms, presumably from the "proto-language", whatever that is. The Kalanga infinitive form of the verb "TO RESEMBLE" is "KU NGA", as we have noted on numerous occassions. By using the verb "nga" as suffix, we have revealed the source of the Kalanga words wenga (parrot); chimanga (maize cob); pknga/mbnga (dog). The said objects respectively RESEMBLE (lu)wi meaning Anunnaki; chima meaning rocket; i-pke meaning the god Anubis.

One would therefore wonder if the word "Kalanga" itself is not similarly composed; that is, if the word "Kalanga" is not composed of the words "Kala" with the suffix "nga" appended. In fact the word "Kalanga" unpacks to three ancient words: Ka, meaning spirit/life; la meaning water/liquid/chemical; and nga, meaning resemble. So, the word "Kalanga" means "resembling living water/liquid/chemical". It can also be translated as "resembling a liquid with a spirit".

The meaning of Kalanga as decoded above strongly suggests that the original (speaking) human spoke Kalanga. That is not all.The gods described in the ancient Sumerian tablets and Egyptian writings seem to have had Kalanga names as I will show in future posts.

If they did not live here on earth, then who did?

I have just been watching a National Geographic documentary on the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. The crater that the impact left in the Yucatan Peninsula is called Chixculub, and is said to have been named after a nearby town in Mexico.

To me this is just about all the proof one needs to show that there have been ancient Kalanga-speaking beings on this earth whose technological skills far surpassed our own. The word Chixculub is a corruption of the Kalanga "Chithu-loba" or "Chithu cha loba", meaning "Something hit". Now, how would the ancient Mayans have known that "something hit" the Yucatan peninsula, unless they had the scientific know-how to detect the crater under the sea! And yet some people still refuse to believe that ancient astronauts lived among our ancestors.

Is the earth going to stop rotating?

If you have ever watched Tom and Jerry, Road Runner, or any similar cartoon show, you will be familiar with the inclination of the characters when they start running, and when they come to a "dead stop" later in the chase. These opposite direction inclines, although extrememly exagerated, are dictated by the laws of inertia.

Imagine that you are in a stationary satellite high above the south pole. To you, the earth rotates in a clockwise direction.The map of Antarctica suggests that the then fluid continent was formed when the rotation of the earth slowed down, rather than when it accelerated!  Perhaps scientifically this is to be expected, but if the earth's rotation ever slowed down, what is going to prevent it stopping altogether?

Lalibela - Ethiopia

It seems to me that the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela provided an ideal environment in which to hide the Anunnaki shems (rockets). If, as seems likely, the churches were hewn by the Anunnaki, and one of them is called Biet-Lehem, I am confused about which preceded the other - Lalibela or "the Holy Land".

Internet Access Problems

It may be a while before my next post - there's not much one can do with 20 - 30 kbps coming down a Huawei 3G wireless modem.

Whatever the reason for the constriction, I think it will take some time to undo.

What national language?

The discourse around the teaching of Ikalanga language has been shrouded in a haze of lies and deceit. Why this is so is quite simple to explain. People who would not deserve the privileges they currently enjoy were merit to be the only criterion for advancement, now feel threatened by new exposes concerning the true status of languages spoken in Botswana, and are therefore lashing out wildly in all directions in an attempt to save their ill-gotten privileges.

What we are saying is that Setswana is not, has never been, the national language of Botswana. The national language of Botswana, post-Independence is English. The declaration by the Setswana speakers that Setswana is the national language is a fraud; it never reflected the reality on the ground before the Europeans arrived in Southern Africa. It does not reflect the reality even now, despite close to 50 years of forcing Setswana down the throats of the population and manipulating statistics to justify the fraud.

In the Telegraph newspaper of October 16th Dr. Otlogetswe writes in his column, The Linguist Chair:

 “Science is a systematic enterprise based on observation, testable explanations & claims and reproducible experiments. Glaring observable occurrences have been seriously and repeatedly ignored.”

He continues further down in the same article:

“Botswana has a very small population and has a high linguistic diversity. The country has 28 languages spoken by about 2 million people. Setswana as the national language is spoken by over 80 % of the country as either a first, second or .....”

An incident that obviously qualifies as “science” according to Dr. Otlogetswe’s definition, and that seriously questions his statistics happened last week. I went into an Election registration booth. A Kalanga-born-and-speaking girl assisted me. I spoke in Kalanga, but she answered back in Setswana. When I switched to English, she answered back in English. I never said anything in Setswana language in that office. At the end of my registration she handed me the record of the exercise. I was shocked to find that she had recorded that the “interview” had been conducted in Setswana! I asked her why she had written that and her answer was that they had been instructed that for all “locals” they should write Setswana language!

You see, these are the blatant lies that the Setswana speakers tell the world about the linguistic diversity of our country. The compulsion upon our people to learn Setswana language robs our kids of the chance to develop their English language skills. It denies them the chance to broaden their world view. It creates intellectually stunted beings.

What we are saying to the Tswana speakers is that if such stunting is the price we have to pay for having a “national” language other than English, let that “national” language be the language we speak from birth – Ikalanga. Keep the Setswana language that you speak from birth as your national language; we don’t need it.

And who are the Hottentots?

There is nothing derogatory about the word Hottentots.The word refers to the inhabitants of the Cape colony of South Africa.The name does not originate from the Cape colonists either. The word "Hottentot" is equivalent to "Nguni".

Recall that the Nguni, among whom we normally count the Xhosa, the Zulu, the Swazi, were responsible for mending enclosures with branches during the Anunnaki days. Such enclosures consisted in the main, of cattle-holding pans.

Well, the correct spelling of the Kalanga word "Hottentot" is "Wute-ntota" which unpacks as follows:

Wute: a plural of "likuta" meaning "enclosure" or "fence".
Ntota: a mender. It derives from the verb KU TOTA, meaning TO MEND.

So, "Hottentots" is just a misspelling of who they really are; nothing derogatory at all!
