A language which developed to communicate concept and to convey intelligent and expressive thought. There is nothing on earth remotely like the holy writings. And they should be respected for what they are, and should be studied appropriately. I am being discouraged from further comment so I shall bid you adieu. Regards. | |

Deriving a word from other existing words may lead to completely wrong conclusions: In German language there are hundreds of words (like "Hühnerauge") having a literal meaning but whose literal meaning is completely different from the actual one. | |

This is a learned work which collates all known references in antiquity and establishes what an ancient word actually means. Comparisons are made to ensure that inflected words are derived from common roots within their conjugation and declension. This is a necessary process to understand the holy writings. | |
