Digging tswana roots

The rule of a time, times, and half a time

Per my still-expanding, not-yet-published Dictionary of Protolanguage Terms, the English word ‘time’ – tima in Old English (OE) – relates to tema (rate/extent of progress) in Setswana. Germanic languages (e.g. Dutch) chose tid/tiyt as their name for ‘time’, which term I relate to teta (waiting period) in Setswana. Indeed, my cutting-edge discoveries indicate that Sotho-Tswana is very close to an original language spoken by all in the Neolithic era (BC 10200-3500). My Dictionary thus boasts 400-plus Bantu words indisputably cognate with Indo-European, contrary to current linguistics which denies any such link.

Even more surprising, I have retranslated three well-known Sumerian epics according to a Sotho-Tswana unlocking key (yet Sumerian is ‘the earliest written language’) revealing a different, wittier, far more coherent messages from the ancient scribes. Why Sotho-Tswana in particular? Ill-understood aspects of its ‘mythology’, I have shown, dovetail with those of Mesopotamia indicating that the Sotho-Tswana group was certainly amongst the Kutheans (Goo-tia in Setswana: ‘Strong Ones’) that reportedly left Egypt with the ‘god’ Nergal – my ‘Scorpion King’ – in order to aid the ‘goddess’ Inana in her famous war against Marduk, the ‘god’ of Babylon (see The Wars of Gods and Men by Zecharia Sitchin).

Congratulations Anicia Gaothuse!

The contest had 10 beautiful young girls as finalists and unfortunately only one could wear the crown.The judges picked Anicia Gaothuse.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
