Re: [hrl_2] Re: Family words came first for early humans - New Scientist

Dear friends,

Greetings. The word ABA meaning "father" is a variation of ancient
Turkish APA meaning "father". In ancient Turkish "Sky-God" (GÖK
TANRI) was also called "APA TANRI" meaning "father god".

The root word "AM" meaning "mother" is also the Turkish name for the
genital of all mothers. Thus, the root words "AM/AMA" meaning
"mother" is pure Turkish. Additionally "MAMA" meaning "mother" is
also from Turkish "MEME" meaning mother's "breast" which is the
"mother" to all children. The name "MAMMALIAN" or "MAMALIAN"
referring to all milk feeding "mammals" is from the Turkish word
"MEME-LI-EN" where Turkish infix -LI means "with" and suffix -EN/AN is
the ancient Turkish plurality suffix making the word to mean "living
beings with breast". Thus in present day Turkish, the word "MAMALIAN"
would be "MEMELILER" meaning mamals. Indo-European and Semitic words
using the root words AMA, MAMA, MEME are unquestionably sourced from
Turkish language.

It is indeed infantile on the part of those who explain such
words as Turkish ATA, ANA, APA, AMA, etc, as "child's language".
This so-called "linguistic" explanation is indeed a silly concoction
inorder to deny the fact that these words are from Turkish language.
It is a game designed to put down Turkish. In an ancient Turkish
speaking world, these words would have been common to many peoples.

Related to these basic family words please read my paper at URL:

Best wishes to all,
