Home, House, from Semitic Languages "bayt" ܒܝܬ

  


The word "home" in Allamej is the radical bayt, whose pronunciation is very close to the Semitic words بيت (Arabic), ቤተ (Amharic), ܒܝܬ (Assyrian Aramaic), and בית (Hebrew), with roots going back to Babylonian times. It is an important and sometimes sacred word in the sister Abrahamic cultures such as Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.

Bayt is very commonly used in these cultures. For example, the city of Bethlehem, usually pronounced Bayt (or Bet) Leĥem, may mean "house of bread" or "house of meat," or according to some historians, the house of Leĥem or Laĥmu, an old Babylonian god of fertility. The word is also used to name places and temples.

პəβϱɩ̆ : Words

  Basic syllabic words in Allamej are morphemes, which means they carry fundamental meanings. These morphemes can be seen as the building blocks of the language's structure. Allamej is an agglutinative language, meaning that modifying morphemes typically come before the morphemes they modify.  Each syllable is structured with a vocalic nucleus and must end either in consonant or semi consonant ( y or w), as in the model:  (C)+(S)[V](S)+[C/S*] C = Consonant  S = Semi Consonant  V = Vowel  [ ] = Every meaning syllable must contain  ( ) = Every meaning syllable may contain, but not necessarily * A syllable cant contain two consonants or two semi consonants directly in contact Examples:  ɧɩ̇ϱ̆  - biw :   life   ɧɩɩ̆β - bayt :   home  Ꙇҽɀ̈ - hez :   being  აҽɀ̈ - nez :   not being  ሪҽɀ̈ - kez :   doubt of being  ɧ̇əƧ -  vol :   wish  ሪ̆ϱɧ̇ -  guv ...

Voices from the Future

  1.The time had come, 2.Three language spirits came together,  3.They were not segregated by the languages of humanity, 4.But by the spiritual justice of themselves,  5.Which were three, 6.And in the same way, one in their inner truth.  7.The shape of knowledge had been changed, For the future spirits speak to the old humanity.
