What is Hellenism?

You get plenty of definitions about this word; it’s been labeled: an “esthetic movement”, “the Greek people and their culture”, “the academic study of ancient Greece”, or even “the proper use of the Greek language”.

 

Studying the definition of this word is worth considering since is only by refuting doing that it could be used on developing a far fetched propaganda, whose Hellenism is the foundation.  The strange thing is that you never get a definition what Hellenism really is: an ideology.

 

The Hellenism embodies a hypothesis (now on “widely accepted”) for the natural connection between mysterious Ancient Greek race and  today’s population of the so called Modern Greeks.   This ideology was created around 18-19th century with the sole purpose: developing a new national conscience over people who were living in a territory “academically” described by some western scholars as the land of the “Ancient Greeks”.  

 

The unusual thing with it, is that this ideology was never been created by its own people (the so called Hellenes) elite, as expected to be. This was created from foreigners, and the Francophile puppet Adamantios Korais, motivated by Great Powers interest especially by British and French.  Like any other ideology Hellenism has been used as a far fetched propaganda without absolutely any ground but very powerfully supported by different subjects, whose interest was spreading this tale.

 

No common so-called Hellene knew about their ancestry, until they were taught about this. A forgotten history of an almost mythical race, was carefully picked, elaborated to be credible and then written by the foreigners. The people living in modern Greece were literally told what they didn’t know they were. These people were told to embrace the new artificially created reality, to forget their present that was anything, but Hellenic. This population composed from people of many ethnically origins like Albanian, Vlach, Slavic, Turkish etc were taught (sometime forcibly) how to speak the language based on the so-called Koine (which means common Greek[???]), a semi-artificial supposedly ancient language, spoken only by  some high ranking Christian Church clergy and a small minority of Christian educated.  

 

Choosing the character of newly created nation was done along with the establishment of the Modern Greece state territories, which would coincide as much as possible the spooky Ancient Hellene’s  ones.

So everything was set to match those in the past:

1. the name (Hellenes)
2. the language
3. the territories

The creators of this ideology knew that the appearance (name, imposed language, territories) somehow communicates the essence (the ethnicity), so once the Hellenic national conscience created among these people the mission was completed.  Using people’s ignorance, absence of other nation’s states, and supported by the local orthodox clergy, France and England successfully completed the transition from one reality to a false one, which would suit their political interest. Thus Modern Ellada was created to be a continuation of the phantomlike Ancient Greece, even though nobody heard from it and its inhabitant since long ago.

 

Thus despite the very big 2500 years historical gap to join artificially two very different realities, the creators of this tale found the way of giving this tale a credible appearance. This was made possible through the language. The teaching of the ‘church language’ aka Hellenic, was made compulsory in the school system after the independence.  Once the language started being spoken, the evolved Hellenism claimed: our Greek language

had to be no more inferior version of the ancient language. Thus they created the ‘monster’ Katharevousa a perfect imitation of the Attic language mixed with thousand of newly coined words. This language remained official until 1976 and heavily influented the spoken language which was a monster ‘per se’.

 

But coming up with the new nation from the ground zero resulted in not an easy task, the experiment called “Hellenic national conscience” was not easy to be perceived by the common people, who not only were ethnically different from the intended one, but also were belonging to different religious groups. The “Greekness” concept was nevertheless fitting some brainwashed orthodox community interest, but was completely disfavorable for the Muslims. To surpass this problem, the “Greeks” and their allies have choosen to fight against everyone religiously different from them. Thus they employed a warlike race: Sulliotes, the brigand orthodox Albanian tribe. These people were the first ones who embraced the Hellenism ideology.  Providing military support to them, England and France were aiming the creation of a new ally state, which they could place against Ottomans.  Sulliotes were the first claiming themselves (Filiki Eteria-Nichola Mavrocordatos): ‘a race purely Hellenic’ (????).

 

It’s obvious that ethnically the Filiki Eteria wasn’t composed from people of a Hellenic descent, but what was forging their ideals in one alone was the religion, the orthodoxy.

From Albanian to Romanian, from Slavic to Turkish they were all orthodox fighting for the creation of an orthodox state.  None of the participants was Greek by descend, they simply couldn’t be, the word ‘Hellenes’ was newly coined, based on a phantomatic idealized past.  These people, in a status of self-hypnosis, claimed they were a race of pure Hellenes.

 

How was that possible?

Wasn’t the Hellenic race (if it ever existed), a race dying off at least 2000 years ago?

Why was the Albanian-Greek dictionary created then? Why did they need it for?

How come some people of “pure Hellenic blood” and “pure Hellenic tongue” need  to learn a ““foreign”” language like Albanian?

 

 

 

 

Marko Boçari’s Greek-Albanian Dictionary

 

Were they really of ‘pure Hellenic blood’ descending?

It might be easy for them to believe in their own lies, but it’s just a story of low credibility for us, thinking it comes from people’s mouth who coined the word xenophobia.  These people must not forget that the “Filiki Etaria” initiation level was called αδελφοποιητοί (brothers) in the newly adopted language (Greek), but along with that these people were using the word βλάμηδες (vllamides), which is the Hellenized plural of the Albanian word Vllam (brother) in their mother tongue.

 

The truth is that most of the so-called Hellenes didn’t know how to speak Greek. Their natural language was Albanian. That’s why the dictionary was serving for.

Now the question is: Do they have the right to create a national ideology like most other nations do?   This sort of question could be placed for any national ideology, but the Hellenism is the most notorious non-realistic among them.

 

Hellenism as ideology being not solid at all, because it is based only on mythical accounts, tends to discriminate anything other than Hellenic, other people histories and interests.  They must understand that even if the Hellenism ever existed, now it’s not its time.  Hellenism is not theirs (Modern Greeks); the Hellenism belongs to the Ancient Hellenes, if they ever existed, to start with.

 

The neo-Hellenism can not represent a continuation of the Classical one, it simply uses the name as a cover for the diabolic purposes of its creators.  Both tend to influence upon and against other people and cultures but the Neo-Hellenism is completely different from Classical one which used to be an ‘ideology’ of the esthetics, at least among art’ historians .  The Neo-Hellenism is the ideology of assimilation, changing the ethnic affiliation using the most unscrupulous methods. The ultimate aim of the Hellenism is the creation of the Greek homogeneous nation. They are trying to homogenise in one alone the ethnic mixture of the Greek population (with different backgrounds), because of the panic from a possible discovery of their non-Hellenic roots, and the falsity of the Hellenic account.

Nowdays the “”purity”" of the race is being ”guaranteed” by the hand of the Greek Government in cooperation with Orthodox Church . Greece is now the only country in Europe with not-claimed ethnic minorities(!!!). 

 

The Neo-Hellenism must not be its continuation, because otherwise anyone of them would nomore represent the values we believed on.  The Modern Greeks are not descendent of the Ancient ones; theirs is a tale, a beautiful one, but unfortunately not true.

Everything culturally valuable the Modern Greeks possess cannot compete with those of the Ancient Hellenes (if they really represent the ancient population of that land). They don’t possess that cultural potential, which was so obvious and radiant at the ancient inhabitant of their land, if they really have been called Hellenes. The cultural heritage of the Modern Greeks today  totally belongs to their neighbours especially to the Albanians. 

    

The eagerness of the Modern Greeks for new territories, encouraged few centuries ago from the Great Powers based on the Hellenism ideology shows the opposite of this gleamy culture.  The truth is that their intention is not capturing of new territories,but  they are desperate to preserve those ones already acquired at the time of the excessive refreinless greed of taking somebody’s else possession (After the independence)

  

Now is the time for them to face the pure truth that not longer than two centuries ago their Albanian (and other minorities) grandparents consciously believed on the tale of  Ancient Greeks, finding it very suitable for their hate against muslim population.

 

The Hellenism was spiritually created by the network of Greek-speaking merchants – (Thessalonica, Smyrna, Constantinople, & inland) and Orthodox clergy but academically supported by western scholars. Schools were established teaching Greek language, and the “”Greek character and culture”” under Turkish rule with their strange tolerance.

But a creation of the Greek state wasn’t an issue, at that time.

The main internal reason for the creation of the new state was the Greek speaking merchant class aspiration for a greater share of political power.

It was through this Greek speaking merchant class that the Turkish Muslim World was making all the trade affairs especially with the western countries. But since these “”Greeks”” was paying most of their commercial profits as a tax toward the Ottoman Empire, that made them hostile against the empire.

This merchant class (the core of the Greek nation) would have needed an ideological foundation, a sense of nationhood to share a greater political powers and possibly to create an independent state. That was the reason why Hellenism was created.

The creation of the new nation was fully supported by the Great Powers, so when the Greek revolution broke out in 1821, the first thing the “”Greeks”” did was to address the European states and Russia, proclaiming the independence of the phantasmatical Greek nation, and the creation of the new state to become inherent even before military victories made it apparent. It’s a fact that on the ground no military victories brought about Greek independence.

The “””Greek’”” ethnicity was illusory, phantasmatical, non-existent, but ironically they had Great Powers support. That was the reason it was made a fact despite the fact that militarily Sultan overpowered them in most of the cases. It was the politics blowing the winds in the Hellenism favour not a real renaissance of the Hellenic consciousness

On the other hand the interest of the Greek speaking merchants, orthodox intellectuals and Orthodox Church became diabolically alter in a movement for nationalism. It took an international character which gradually won over the ottoman possibility to hold the status quo. That movement was helped by Albanian Ali Pasha’s rebellion against Sultan. The “”Greeks”” took advantage of the Ali Pasha tolerance towards them and their activities, and so they joined forces with completely different purposes between them.

Sultan overpowered Ali Pasha and the “” Greeks””, but the Great Powers had decided on independence & they simply imposed it and with it the symbiotic ideology Hellenism.

Since then much ink has been spilled, writing about the Hellenism claiming it an ideal cultural movement, but it’s not, at least not the modern one. The Hellenism now is merely a chauvinistic movement. The reasons are not far to seek and the memories of the atrocities caused from the people who fought in the name of this ideology are still fresh. They start on the 19-th century which is the crucial starting point for the Hellenic nation. Although the roots of the Hellenic nations don’t go beyond that time, considerable efforts is made to develop the “ancient Hellenic” ethnogennesis theory ever since.

But now it’s the time to disclose the true character of the Hellenism. The Hellenism is the ideology of the newest race in the Balkan: the Greeks.

Although the conviction among most of  today’s scholars that the Modern Greek language represent some kind of a ‘undiluted’ dialect of the Ancient one, nobody amongst them is disclosing evidences about the ways this language followed up to reach the mouth of the Modern Greek speakers. The truth is that it came through all the ‘paths’ but the family hearth. Through many millenniums, from Peloponnesus to Danube and wider, it was another language which has never stopped to be spoken in the family hearth, this is now called Albanian language and it’s eventually the same with the so called Ancient “”Greek””, which for my opinion was the language of the Pelasgians.

 If the Hellenism its a term used to represent the Greeks and their language then Hellenism is not Ancient at all, because the Greeks are a new nation and their tongue is an artificial imaginative recreation of  the ancient and medieval language, and it is the main component on the efforts to manipulate the history.    

In considering whether the Modern Greek language is a natural descendant of the Ancient one, I have complete confidence in replying in the negative. I have many reasons thinking this.

Althought Modern Greek language is often credited or it often ‘credits' itself, being a Hellenic dialect continuously spoken in the Greek family hearths, generation after generation, it doesn't look to me it really happened. It was another place where this language has been continuously spoken: the Church.

Yes it's been spoken from a limited number of middle class orthodox believers Ottoman families ,  of some high ranking Christian Church clergy and a very small minority of Christian educated [in the best case since the Byzantine Church artificially adopted the Koine (and not the Attic, like some people like to say) language for liturgic purposes. Other than that no one spoke Greek before Greece was a country .

The Koine itself was a semi artificial language, and was spread to the East mostly for liturgics and political and comercial purposes, and never represented the original language of the Hellenes, like it never represented the Hellenes themselves.

The exorbitant fantasy of the theory in which the Modern Greeks are (mostly self-claimed) the descendent of the Delphi religious group (Hellenes), unfortunately is matching no evidence at all.

I have noticed that the theory of the linear descent from Ancient Hellenes  is told and pathetically defended by some people who pretend to be Hellenes, but by all the definition cannot be Hellenes, at least linguistically and genetically.

The similarity between Modern Greek and written Ancient Greek language is considered a mere fact that the former one is just a dialect of the Hellenic. So they believe or try to convince us that besides speaking the Hellenic language, they are the Hellenes themselves. I believe even they would have a difficult time proving both things at once, and I noticed the futility of this excessive fanaticism is pulling unpurposely the two ideas in opposite directions. Another way of phrasing it would be that the excessive propaganda of Greek nationalism-racism has not the same impact as 200 years ago, in the time of western philhellenes.

I cannot, of course, bring on table an entire ‘ocean' of proofs against this theory, but I will flood it with the ‘water' of an entire ‘sea' of evidences.

The second thing to observe in this regard is that we must look beyond the border of the "Greek world". There is a nation there often ignored, neglected where we might find the ‘key', answering the unsolved questions of what we are looking for. This country is called Albania, their people being called Albanians.

May be these people represent now the ruins of a splendid civilization, but their language stands above with all the splendor of the ancient times. This language is called Albanian, the language of the people with perhaps most unknown history in Europe. 

It's always been  used by the Albanians, generation after generation the word: te parët tanë, which literally means: OUR FOREFATHERS, predecessors, ancestors.

Linguistically, it is the definite plural of the i pare that means first. We all know that this numeral which may show itself as a noun, adjective or adverb has an astonishing similarity in all European languages. But the difference between Albanian word i pari=ancestor:

English (3 entries.)	Shqip (3 hyrje.)
first	i/e parë (tr. shq. i pari)

 

English (2 entries.)	Shqip (2 hyrje.)
ancestors (plural of ancestor)	të parët
ancestor	Paraardhës,paraardhëse, i pari

 from the ancient Greek word is only on the suffix

For example: Prepayment, Premedical, and Prehistoric

Now the word prehistoric itself, which is used to describe the events before the known history, is not exactly the same with the word ancient, because not everything ancient is prehistoric, the opposite is true.

In Albanian the word ancient is translated:

English (3 entries.)	Shqip (3 hyrje.)
ancient	i/e lashtë

This adjective derives from the verb lash= left behind

English (9 entries.)	Shqip (9 hyrje.)
leave (p.t., p.p. left)	lë (kr. thj., pj. lashë, lënë)

Lets have a look at the Ancient ""Greek"" adjective:

Like easily been seen the word is  πα-λαί  and it is pronounced pale

The word πα-λαί  (pale) is a compound "" Greek"" word from the Albanian:  para(before) and i lash(left).

English (Only one entry.)	Shqip (Vetëm një hyrje.)
earlier	{më) parë

 It's been explained before, that the word pare of the Albanian language, has already some very similar cognates in other European languages, but contrary to them, it has an originator verb which in the other languages doesn't exist, the verb PRIN:

English (2 entries.)	Shqip (2 hyrje.)
lead (p.t., p.p. led)	prij (kr. thj., pj. priva, prirë)

  Which when used for the predecessors makes

English (Only one entry.)	Shqip (Vetëm një hyrje.)
predecessor	paraprirës / paraprirëse, paraardhës / paraardhëse

Do we have this word in the Ancient Hellenic?

Yes we do:

This word in Albanian has many derivates and among those is the word PRINES=prijës,

English (3 entries.)	Shqip (3 hyrje.)
leader	prijës / prijëse

And princ which has its cognate in English, and almost in every European language:

English (Only one entry.)	Shqip (Vetëm një hyrje.)
prince	princ {m}

 I will let the ‘well-known' linguists to decide why an Albanian noun which conspicuously is derived from an unical Albanian verb having the European cognates so identical to it.

But the semantic of the Ancient Greek word is even more interesting.

 Its obvious that leader=prince, but for some people to know is the fact that the word egjemon derives from an Albanian verb e gjëmon=to follow.

For the first word Leader the semantic is: following, finding ( e gjëmon= follows.)

This word Leader derives from the verb lead:

Which itself derives from the Albanian verb

English (5 entries.)	Shqip (5 hyrje.)
find (p.t., p.p. found)	gjej (kr. thj., pj. gjeta, gjetur)

 

That's why Leader in Albanian is a person who leads=find the way

English (3 entries.)	Shqip (3 hyrje.)
leader	prijës / prijëse
leader	udhëheqës / udhëheqëse

 

English (5 entries.)	Shqip (5 hyrje.)
bring close, bring closer	afroj, qas (kr. thj., pj. qasa, qasur)
close up (verb)	afroj, afrohem
near (verb)	afroj, afrohem

 

of the tate = father (king throne)

English (4 entries.)	Shqip (4 hyrje.)
father	atë {m}, tatë {f}, baba {m}

This in plural makes:

English (4 entries.)	Shqip (4 hyrje.)
fathers	atër{m}, etër {m},  baballarë {m}

 And in Ancient """Greek"""

English (2 entries.)	Shqip (2 hyrje.)
Forefather	i pari, i lashti

 Has spoken it before:

English (4 entries.)	Shqip (4 hyrje.)
before	para, para se, përpara se

 

English (Only one entry.)	Shqip (Vetëm një hyrje.)
precede	paraprij (kr. thj., pj. parapriva, paraprirë

 

 μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος,
the rage of Achilles the son of Peleus sings goddess

The word μῆνιν(anger, madness) is  (mēnin), fury, rage, or wrath, madness.

This word for some ‘strange' reasons is fully present in Albanian in every dialect.

English (6 entries.)	Shqip (6 hyrje.)
anger (noun)	mëri {f}, tr.sh. mëria {f}
anger (noun)	zemërim {m}
rage (noun)	zemërim {m}
madness	çmenduri {f}

Lets make a table of this word in its declension in the two main Albanian dialects:

Case/Definite	English	Tosk/Alb	Gheg Alb
Nominal	the anger	meria	mënia
Genitive		i/e/te/se mërisë	i/e/te/se mënisë
Dative		mërisë	mënise
Accusative		mërinë	mënin-ë
Ablative		prej mërisë	prej mënisë

Rhotacism - Gheg has n where Tosk has r.

This is exactly the word μῆνιν, which comes to us after thousands of years untouched in its accusative case of the noun. 

The other synonim zëmërim is just the a compound word zë(sieze, take)+mëria(anger).

The word mënia is not a Greek loan in Albanian. It's a basic word in Albanian and exactly the word menja(mendja):

English (11 entries.)	Shqip (11 hyrje.)
mind (noun)	mendje {f} , tr.sh mendja {f}

and beside the noun mendja comes in a full "set" of important speech parts in the Albanian language, like verb, adjective, adverb etc

English (5 entries.)	Shqip (5 hyrje.)
think (p.t., p.p. thought)	mendoj, mendohem

Everyone knows that the madness, anger, rage is a mental state when the people loose their mind:

out of one's mind	i/e çmendur
anger (noun)	mëri, zemërim {m}

This is the time when the angry person memorizes the event. 

This is the reason why in Albanian is said vuri ne menje(mendje)-memorized

That's why in Ancient Greek is been used the same word as in Albanian today:

The Albanian word mendja is used by some "Ancient" "Greek" individuals naming some of their babies Mentor (Μέντωρ / Méntōr) which in Albanian means smart, intelligent and capable to be a teacher and adviser:

English (4 entries.)	Shqip (4 hyrje.)
smart	i/e mençur

And derives from an other Albanian adjective:

English (2 entries.)	Shqip (2 hyrje.)
pensive	i/e menduar
thoughtful	i/e menduar, i/e mendueshëm

There is no doubt that Μέντωρ=mendur=menduar, like is out of any doubt that the antonym is crazy=ç-mendur=ç-menduar.

English (6 entries.)	Shqip (6 hyrje.)
crazy	i/e çmendur

This is the word who named Mars -the God of madness in War the counterpart of the ""Greek" God Ἄρης [á.rὲεs]. Mars is portrayed as a mad warrior God eager for quarrel and squabble. That's why in Albanian is used:

English (6 entries.)	Shqip (6 hyrje.)
crazy	i/e marrë
crazy	i/e marrosur
insanity	çmenduri {f}, marrëzi {f}

Which literally means taken from the basic Albanian verb marr=take.

Now I am not saying anymore that it's still a mere insanity to believe in Hellenic continuity to the Modern Greeks, but this is a theory without ground, with a false foundation:

English (2 entries.)	Shqip (2 hyrje.)
foundation	themelim {m}
foundation	themel {m} (shumës themele)

Without base:

English (4 entries.)	Shqip (4 hyrje.)
base (noun)	bazë {f}
base (verb)	bazohem (kr. thj.,. u bazova, )

The "tyrannical" idea that every nation is now living in its own paternal ancient homeland its not realistic at all especially in regards to the Modern Greeks, who are a large multinational comunity without a Hellenic core in them, who have existed and exist only inside nationalistic fantasy. The ""overwhelming mere fact"" of their long Hellenic history brought from Greek propaganda, is  apparently  based on false foundation. Their descendace from the mythic Ancient Hellenes is a proveably unproveable theory

Zeus10 13.oct.2008

 

 

Many people have tried to explain the meaning of the word Pelasgoi or Pelasgian. We already know the inhabitant of Pelasgia ( Argos capital) were called Danaioi(Argives)  were named after their king Danaus.

 

In the historical sources, the Danuna are known by many different names such as Denyen, Danunites, Danaoi, Danaus, Danaids, Dene, Danai, Danaian.

These were the same people who attacked Troy and wrongly considered by the historiography as Hellenes(Greeks).

Danaus, or Danaos ( Δαναός), was a mythological character, twin brother of Aegyptus and son of Achiroe and Belus, a mythical king of Egypt. The myth of Danaus is a foundation legend of Argos, one of the foremost Mycenaean cities of the Peloponnesus. In Homer's Iliad, "Danaans" ("tribe of Danaus") and "Argives" commonly designate the “””””Greek””””” forces opposed to the Trojans.

 

 

 

Evidently Argeoi, Pelasgjoi, Danaidai, Mykenaoi, Argives, Pelasgos, Pelasgjikos, Pelasgjia, Argolis are interchangeable for each other. They represent the same people and land, the Pelasgians of Peloponnesus originally from Egypt. 

They inhabited a vast territory, mainly Peloponnesus and Epirus. That was the situation before the arriving of the real “Greeks” the Hellenes (Dorians). It’s logical that these Hellenes were just next to the Pelasgians (Danaoi, Argives, and Achaeans) before, and then subdued them. In other words they were neighbors to each other.

Being so, it’s normal that they could have been called our neighbor, by the Hellenes.

Let’s look at the word neighbor:

 

It’s evident that pelas means neighbor, and

 

 

gjë or gja means land.

 

Thus PELASGIA literally means the land adjacent ours, or the neighbor land.

So Pelasgians are the neighbor of the Hellenes (Dorians or Heraclites, an Illyric nation)

Like we can see pelas is not the first correspondent word for the neighbor. The exact correspondent word is GEITON which is pronounced gjiton.

This pronunciation is totally the same with the Albanian word:

 

 

The natural question would be: “Is the above word a loan from Greek”?

 

No. The Albanian word gjiton derives from the adverb ngjitur (in the Gheg dialect ngjit which means near, close by, adjacent to and/or from the adjective e ngjitur which is the same thing.

 

 

The very source of this word is the Albanian verb ngjis:

 

 

Do we have the correspondent word in ancient “Greek”. Yes we do

 

 

 

The word εγγύς is pronounced engjis.

Its obvious that the source of the word is the Albanian verb e ngjis which forms the place adverb ngjitur or ngjit(in gheg) or ngjitun(in gheg).

 

 

What is a neighbor?

Neighbor:

n.

1. One who lives near or next to another.

2. A person, place, or thing adjacent to or located near another.

v.tr.

To lie close to or border directly on.

v.intr.

To live or be situated close by.

adj.

Situated or living near another

 

The Ancient Greek language is always seen as a separate branch of IE languages.

That is not true. The truth is as the following:

1. The Ancient Greek is not the language of the Hellenes
2. The Ancient Greek is the language of the Pelasgians.
3. The Ancient Greek is the language of the Pelasgian group of Egypt.
4. Hellenes have spoken originally an Illyrian dialect.
5. Ancient Greek (Pelasgian language) and Illyrian language have the same source (probably the later could be the source of the former).
6. Most of the Hellenes lost their original language.
7. The language of the literature(Attic, Ionic) is a conventional one its not the spoken language.
8. Unlike most of the beliefs that language of the Hellenes evolved in the today Modern Hellenic, I strongly believe that the later one is artificial bastard imitation and morphologically unable to explain the former.
9. Graicoi is not the same with Hellenes, Aristotle is definitely wrong.
10. Graicoi are a mix Semitic-Thracian tribe while Hellenes an Arian migration.
11. Hellenes represent the vanguard of the south Illyrian tribes returning back in the Peloponnesus which was their land before the invasion of the Egyptian Pelasgians.

What  is the language used to write the following pages? The Greek?

Lets translate one of them:

32> E si perendoi Dielli e u err, prune te ai gjithe te semuret e dhe te dhamnshurit.

Zeus10, May 10. 2008

 

Since Ventris “”deciphered”” the Mycenian Scripts nobody was interested anymore for developing some thorough study in the already “known” languages like for ex. Ancient “”Greek””.

Now people who study  the grammar and orthography of the Ancient Greek language is very familiar with certain signs placed over the initial vowel in different words. The linguists already know the meaning of them like ā or ă placed over alfa. According to the linguists they show either a long vowel or a short one. They “explain” also some other strange marks(diacritic marks) meaning: “the signs placed above the initial vowel indicate the presence of an aspirated sound or the absence of an additional sound”. They are called breathings. In other words breathings always occur over the first vowel sound of a word, and are either hard or soft.

 

They are indicated by either a ' or a ` over the first vowel. The former (hard) indicated an aspirated vowel (in other words, pronounce the word as if it began with an English "h" sound. The latter (soft) means there is no "h" sound, and simply pronounce the word as written (Oxcord University Press. ISBN 0-19-514956-4)

Lets look at them:   

 

῾

Aspirate or rough breathing: a sign placed over an initial vowel or initial rho to indicate an initial h-sound

ἥλιος ὁδός

 

Thus among the scientists is very popular the thought that because of that mark the above words are pronounced helios and hodos. To justify that they give the following explanation:

 

In the old Attic alphabet Η or heta represented the h-sound. In the Ionic alphabet, the same symbol represented a vowel, eta, because the Ionic dialect had lost aspirations and had no need for heta.

 

This explanation could be true but it proves exactly the opposite, that because the lost of aspiration the initial vowel doesn’t need an additional aspirated h-sound. It might indicate the presence of another voiceless consonant  before the vowel but never of the h-sound.

Unlike the Attic Greek the Ionic and Aeolic the aspirated h-sound before the initial is totally missing and so they don’t need to insert the sign in writing anymore because it doesn’t correspond the speaking.

I think that the sign doesn’t show the presence of  aspirant h-sound but the presence of the semi-vowel ‘j’.

Thus

not helios~~~~~~~~~~~but~~~jelios

not hodhos~~~~~~~~~~but~~~jodhos

not hyllos~~~~~~~~~~~but~~~jyllos

not hellen~~~~~~~~~~~but~~~jellen

 

For example the albanian verb jap=give

 

 

Even today in Cam dialect(old Thesprotian language):

 instead of Helen they use (J)elin, instead of (h)Yll(star) they use (j)ill.

 

Worthy to mention that the Ancient “”Greek”” word for the Horse:

 

is not pronounced hipos despite the fact that it derives from albanian verb të hipësh.

 

 

but j’ipos which is the short form of the Albanian ia(ja) ipësh.

the verb hip in Albanian is the synonim of the word kaloj.

ja hipi=ja kaloj=kërcej= jump on

 

 

 

 

 

The other sign which is the  mirror sign of the above and according them:

 

᾿

Smooth breathing: a sign placed over an initial vowel to indicate the absence of aspiration; hence, no additional sound

ἄνεμος

 

…to indicate the absence of an additional sound  ??????

 

If so why does the writter need to insert an extra sign above the vowel when simply could let without it?

Because the sign doesn’t mean absence of aspirated sound but the presence of something else.

                                                                                         

To answer this question lets look at the following short dictionary:

 

 

 

What we easily understand is that ἄ indicates un or without. That means that ἄ is privative preposition equivalent to the English un(without).

 

Now lets have a look to the Albanian language:

 

 

I think, the sign above a indicates exactly the voiceless p before the word.

Now at the end lets look at a very familiar word in modern greek:

up(english)-------- (ε)πάνω

 

In ancient Greek we have :

 

 

It obvios that ἄνω is pronounced pano and this adverb derives from the participle of the Albanian verb see(seen) which is parë or panë(gheg dialect).

 

rhotacism - Gheg has n where Tosk has r

 

 

The reason why the word up in Ancient “”Greek”” derives from the word panë(seen) has to do with the simple fact that the objects which are in higher positions are usually easily visible because there is no other things in betwen to ostacle the sight.

 

In  the Gheg dialect which is the mother-language of the An.Greek(Pelasgians) language  the verb inflection  is different from the standart language:

Standart                                                 Gheg                                                Standart

une shoh   (I see)                                 une phana                                         une pashe      (I saw)

ti sheh        (you see)                             ti   phane                                           ti    pe            (you saw)

ai sheh        (he sees)                            ai  phani                                            ai   pa            (he saw)

In Gheg Albanian the root of the word remains the same.

ἄνω is the Albanian word  i/e panë which means visible.

 

 

φ in Ancient “Greek” represented [pʰ]

 

This is the reason why the Albanian word for invisible i/e papʰare

 

 

 is the same with Ancient Greek word.

 

 

After these undeniable facts about orthography, phonetic and grammar of the Ancient “”Greek”” we must say:

Most of Ancient “”Greek”” words are compound words formed from simple primitive words which are inherited and still alive in an  “”another”” language, in the Albanian language.

Why never heard of that?

BECAUSE:

The ancient history of Europe and Mediteranien is ‘pruned’  from other nations leaving only Greeks and Romans.

This ‘haircut’ of  the history shows only Greeko-Roman look, thus you are led to believe in wrong false things and stories. I hope people who offered us this tabloid didn’t make that on purpose but only because of their ignorance and prejudice. I know they didn’t because they believed the Modern Greeks are the descendents of the ancient ones. Please God forgive them even if they call my study very revisionistic.

It has always been an interesting case in the scholars works, studying  words with an unical meaning, whose cognates in other languages do not  exist, even inside the same language families.

Let see one of them . The word ‘qeleshe’ in albanian is unical, like it is unical the object it represents.

 

 Different types of the Albanian 'qeleshe'

 

What a qeleshe is?

A qeleshe is a traditional skull cap, which is worn by Albanian men, usually from northern highlands of Albania or Kosovo and particularly in the Arberesh villages in Italy. The cap is made from one single piece of woolen felt, usually white, that is molded to the shape of the head. The name qeleshe comes from the Albanian word for wool which is lesh. It has a conical shape that resembles an egg shell cut in half. Sometimes this is worn along with a bandana tied around the head.

 

Ulisse or Odysseus

The independence of Albania.

The truth is that only the last part of the the word “qeleshe” means wool= lesh. The prefix ‘qe’ (Restrictive clause or defining) is a noun forming element which together with ‘lesh’ literatelly means:’ that is made using/from wool’. In a short form the word might be pronounced q’leshe In other albanian dialects the word can be pronounced çeleshe. Therefore we don’t find any fondamental difference just a moving within the same consonant group k>c>ç>q .

The clause ‘q’ is usually followed by a verb. For ex. q’bëj, q’ec, q’shkoj etc.  The vowel ‘ë’ is dropped following the phonetic rules of  albanian language but the correct form would be qe bej(that I do),  qe eci(that I walk), etc.

English (90 entries)	Shqip (90 hyrje.)

that

që

Do we find qeleshe  somewhere else used by other nationalities beside Albanians. In some Ancient Greek pictures/statues is very visible the presence of qeleshe covering  the heads of some ancient “greek” heroes.

The "Greeks" PATROCLES and ACHILES.

Telling the truth we do not KNOW the name of the hat(in ancient greek) on the head of Patrocles and Oddisseus.

The ""Greek"" Odysseus.

So lets look at something we already know.

The verb ‘know’ in Attic dialect is οἶδα.  But also is another synonim in  ancient greek   (γι) - γνοέω=know.

 γνώσκω (gnôskô)----- know

English--------------------------Ancient Greek------------------Albanian

(to) know------------------------(γι) γνος------------------------- (e, te) njoh

know (p.t., p.p. knew, known)

njoh (kr. thj., pj. njoha, njohur)

Its out of dispute that the root of this word in together English, Albanian, and Acient Greek is the  [{kno~ /gno]. In Albanian the cluster *gn is equal to ‘nj’ for example:

bagna-------------------banja

lazagna----------------lazanja

Spagna-----------------Spanja  etc.

 

The cluster gn is typical in Ancient Greek and Latin/Neolatin languages.

We have in greek another word which is exactly the oppossite of 'know'-  ἀγνοέω- not perceive, be ignorant, be unaware of.

 

This word, like easily noticed is formed from ἀ (a negative prefix)+gnoeo(know, first person).

  

The verb ‘know’ in Ancient Greek is one of the noun components in the word  foreigner(stranger)= Ξεῖνo [ ξένο(ksenos)].

 

Let see the definition for the foreigner(stranger).

A stranger is a not known person or a phenomenon, or  a person that we do not know .

The word ksenophobia= kseno(stranger)+ phobia(fear)=fear from people you don't know, is the best example.

From the image above is understandable that ἀ performs the same function like the ξ(Ξξ  like X in "Matrix ξ comes from κ+σ, or γ+σ, or χ+σ ) changing to a negative meaning the verb know.

The consonant ξ is considered a double consonant formed from the smoth κ and the spirant σ (ς).

Therefore the word ξένο is pronounced kseno.

kseno= ks(a negative double consonant)+ e(conjucture article)+ no(the primitive root for ‘know’)

MEANING

kseno=stranger~ a person (I/we/you) do not know.

In Albanian

do not know=që se njoh.

The short form in albanian is

do not know= q’se njoh~ q’s’njoh

Now let replace ‘njoh’ with the primitive root no=know. The result would be

do not know= q’seno.

We explained some paragraphs above that the evolution of the smoth consonant k in albanian is like this

k(voiceless  velar plosive)>*c>ç>q (Voiceless palatal plosive). {for ex. ancient greek ὦ κύον =k^eon=qën(alb)}

 

So the final result after a series of etymological transformations would be

ξένο(ancient greek)= do not know(eng)=k’seno(alb)~qe se njoh

 

A thorough etymological investigation of one word alone, although asking a lot of work and attention, clearly showed that Ancient Greek language is 'genetically’ strongly  connected with Albanian.

The people are interested to know the ethymology of the words sometime, or anytime if you are a person who likes the languages and their origin. So it’s natural to open an Etimology Dictionary(usually to take the wrong information). So did we, being interested for the word ethnic, we opened the ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY:

 

ethno-

comb. form of Gk. ethnos "people, nation, class" (see ethnic), used to form modern compounds such as ethnology (1842, by J.S. Mill) and ethnocentric, 1900, which was a technical term in social sciences until it began to be more widely used in the second half of the 20th century.

 

Felt a little bit surprised, because we found nowhere an etymological explanation of the word ethnos(which we already know the meaning, just asked for etymology of the word) we continued our search. So far so good,

 

ethnic

c.1375, from Scottish, "heathen, pagan," and having that sense first in Eng., from Gk. ta ethne, used in Septuagint translation to render Heb. goyim, pl. of goy "nation," especially of non-Israelites, hence "Gentile nation." Ta ethne is from Gk. ethnos "band of people living together, nation, people," prop. “people of one's own kind,” from PIE *swedh-no-, suffixed form of base *s(w)e- (see idiom). Sense of "peculiar to a race or nation" is 1851, return to the word's original meaning; that of "different cultural groups" is 1935; and that of "racial, cultural or national minority group" is Amer.Eng. 1945. Ethnicity is from 1953; ethnic cleansing is from 1991.

 

At this point we are stunned. Ethnos –according to the “proffesional linguists”-derives from PIE *swedh-no-, suffixed form of base *s(w)e.

This ridiculous explanation, like the most of them in the Etymology WORLD (especially those related with “Greek” origin) made us performing a research for the origin of the word ethnos or ta ethne.

 

We all know that historically all the ethnic groups, all the nations, all the tribes have a common predecessor  or a common father.

Since the word ethne comes from the Ancient “Greek” World(or better saying Pelasgian) we have to show some examples from this World.

 

The tribe of HERACLIDES was called so because of Heracles(Hercules) their FATHER.

The tribe of AECIDES was called this way because of Aecus(of Aegina) their father, their founder

The tribe of DORIANS was called this form because of Dorus, their founder and predecessor.

 

The examples are infinite, and we all know the importance of the FATHER during the creation of the ethnic group, the tribe, the race, the nation in the most of IE tribes. The father is at the same time the LIDER and the GENETIC creator.  His sperm is the GENETIC code biologocially descended in the all incoming generations.

Since we are talking about the Ancient “Greeks” lets have a look to the Ancient Greek-English Dictionary to confirm what we said above:

 

 

 

It is obvious that the English words race, tribe, nation correspond to the “Greek” words genos, ethnos, sperma.

The last one denotes the biological relation  of the male, or the father founder with the tribe itself. Let see now how do the Europians today pronounce FATHER, in their respective languages:

atë(alb)

πατέρας(new greek)

father(eng)

отец(Russian)

padre(ital)

vater(german)

vader(dutch)

pater(mycenian)

padre(Spanish)

 

It is very understandable that the ROOT of this word for all the Europian languages is AT(e). In some of them we have a transformation from t –d but this is very normal since d is the voiced correspondent of the voiceless consonant t.

 

 

 

Also another small difference from language to language is the using of o instead of a in some of them. The truth is that in all of them are using similar vowel 

 

ɔ/ɑ

Open-mid back rounded vowel

pawed 2

 

or 

ɑ/ɑ

Open back unrounded vowel

bra

 

which actually dont make any essential leksical difference.

 

Even within Albanian language we have ɔt(gheg) or ât or at(tosk) those two vowels are used to replace each –other in the two main dialects,

 

Standard form	Tosk form	Gheg form	Translation
Shqipëri	Shqipëri	Shqypni/  Shqipni	Albania
një	një	nji / njâ/ njo	a/one
nëntë	nëntë	nândë/nant/non	nine
është	është	âsht /osht/ â	is
bëj	bëj	bâj/boj	do
emër	emër	êmën	name
pjekuri	pjekuri	pjekuni	maturity

 

 

The Albanian atë is very close to the primitive IE root at, not saying it is eventually the same.

 

 

The word at in Albanian, derives from the interjection ta-ta ~ tat at of the child babble and easily can be considered onomatopeic. The same story is with the preffix pa which is viewed in some of the IE languages word beginning including Ancient Greek:

 

 

The greek word is patër and includes the pa as well.

Like we said above, it is the child babble pa-pa-pa which determines the 'birth' of the word father.

The same thing we could say for ba-ba which is another synonim for father in Albanian language. 

Now let see how does the plural of AT is in Albanian

 

Standard form	Tosk form	Gheg form	Translation
Shqipëri	Shqipëri	Shqypni/  Shqipni	Albania
atë	atë	âtë	father
etër-atër	etër(atër)	etën	fathers

 

Fragment Albanian passport 1935

 

We explained above that nation or ethnos or patër (anc. Greek) is the people who are descended from a common father, or better saying common FATHERS, and it appears almost the same with the Albanian word etën with the only difference that we have  e/ë instead of h.

Now let explain why does occur this “”difference””.

 

In the old Attic alphabet Η or heta represented the h-sound. In the Ionic alphabet, the same symbol represented a vowel, eta, because the Ionic dialect had lost aspirations and had no need for heta. When the Ionic alphabet was adopted in Athens (2nd half of the 5th cent. B.C.E.), the h-sound was no longer represented in writing.

 

After this explanation is obvious that the “””greek””” word ethn(ΕΘΝ-ΟΣ) is eventually the Albanian word etën which  completely describes what ethnos means and why in albanian the homeland is called ATDHE which means AT(father) + DHE(land), The land of the father/fathers.

Inside the veins of Ancient Greeks flows the Albanian blood and vice-verca, the ethnos of the Helenes who spoke eventually the Pelasgian language are the Albanians today. The amnesia{Ἀμνησία~a-menja-zi(alb)-eshte mendja keq} is slowly fading out, because the Fathers are calling from antiquity: Do not forget the history. Do not forget us.

 

 

 

 

The confusion created in certain terminology especially those used in theology and religion is leading the linguists  in the wrong direction sometime. One of them is the word GOD.

 

God Our Saviour (No. 198) 

The identity of the Saviour is often confused among Christians. The Bible seems to identify both God and Christ as Saviour     What about the Ancient “Greeks”??

 

Sotër (“”””Greek””” σωτήρ initial capitalised, Σωτήρ fully capitalised, ΣΩΤΗΡ = saviour) may be used as:

                   as a title of God: Poseidon Soter

                   any heroized leaders of Hellenistic dynasties, see hero cult

                   as a title of liberators : Ptolemy I Soter Antiochus I Soter Demetrius I Soter Menander

                   a title of Jesus, most particularly in the Pope Soter

 

Therefore the word sotër(zotër) in Ancient Greek , doesn’t mean simply saviour. It means God, Deity, Lord, King etc

 

What about the Albanian?

 

What a huge coincidence!!!

 

Therefore in Albanian it means exactly the same thing/s like the Ancient Greek, with only the difference that Z is used instead of S, which of course doesn’t make a mayor difference, since those are equivalent consonants:

 

Voiceless consonant (surd)	Voiced equivalent
[s] (sip)	[z] (zip)

 

The noun ZOT himself in Albanian derives from the verb zotëroj

 

English (5 entries.)	Shqip (5 hyrje.)
dominate	zotëroj, mbizotëroj
master (verb)	zotëroj
own (verb)	zotëroj
possess	zotëroj
control (verb)	zotëroj

 

 

Let look at the word GOD in the dictionary:

 

 

 

How does the God is seen in the ancient times from the """"""Greeks""""""?

 

The God has been seen as an instructor, a counseler, a divine voice, a speaker of the divine counsel, of the Nature Laws.

 

Who is the most ancient God of the Divine counsel?

Her name was :

 

 

 

In “””Greek “”” mythology, Hesiod mentions Themis (Greek: Θέμις). Themis (meaning "law of nature" rather than "human ordinance"), she "of good counsel," was the embodiment of divine order, law and custom

 

In this role, she was the divine voice (themistes) who first instructed mankind in the primal laws of justice and morality, such as the precepts of piety, the rules of hospitality, good governance, conduct of assembly, and pious offerings to the gods.

And of course these instructions/ counseles/ advises/ suggestions is given speaking, saying, reading.

 

 

 

So the the God in Ancient ““Greek”” is seen as a teacher who teachs/says the rules to the humans

Her instructions were SPOKEN,  by SPEECH, or SAYING

 

 

The verb inflection in Albanian is :

 

I say- them                       we say-- themi

you say – thua                      you say-- thoni

 he/she says- thote            they say- thone

 

And the participle becomes thënë

In other tenses the inflection is even more radical but always we can find the th in the steam usually followed by a, e, o, or u and then by m, t, or n or even s.

God , a Being with perfect knowledge on all things - is willing to communicate and transmit His knowledge

This word  is the reason why the God in Ancient “Greek” is called Theos because he is somebody who talks/speaks/teachs to the human the laws of the nature.

 

This word is the reason why the most ancient God of the Egyptians is called THOTI,

 

THOT the GOD of the Wisdom and Writing

 

 

This verb in its participle is the reason that Athena ( Ἀθηνᾶ, Athēnâ, or Ἀθήνη, Athḗnē) which is the correspondant God of the Wisdom

 

Athene the God of Wisdom , Philosophy  Speech

 

as  Philosophy who was delivering to the humans her Wisdom and the LAWS of the Nature and Philosophy through her SPEECH:
