This is a spin-off of my postings on affixes. I translated these to demonstrate that penetrating the English affixes (amongst other languages) and roots holds the key to generating a healthy quantity of Igbo words in every area of knowledge. As I indicated in the thread, I came up with a few affixes because I felt the Igbo equivalents were overburdened or insufficient. In this case I have come up a prefix for 'meter', 'ozen', because I find the Igbo equivalents overstretched and it wouldn't do any harm if we had a word - 'ozen' - dedicated to a number of scientific instruments. And I didn't want to borrow, 'meter' because the word is already borrowed. The remaining words here are all Igbo words. I arrived at translations by attaching their instruments to their functions for the most part (where length allowed). For instance I arrived at a word for 'ophthalmometer' by attaching the word 'ozen' to 'anya' to get 'ozenanya.' 1 absorptiometer ozennmiabanye 2 accelerometer ozenmeọsọ 3 acetimeter ozenaciti 4 acidimeter ozenmirilu 5 actinograph edenngbakọ 6 actinometer -

Impressive. .. did you invent the word "ozen" or it's an already established igbo word? 1 Like |

macof: I invented it, as I found/find, the existing Igbo words that would have fulfilled the native function for '-meter', overstretched. I decided to create a word that specifically denotes the equivalent of '-meter', hence my invention of the prefix '-ozen.' Where it occurs in this list, it denotes an instrument used in scientific contexts. And I didn't want to borrow over the word 'meter' because it is itself a borrowed word from Greek. It is an invention - 'ozen' - that bears a lot of good, and prevents the long descriptions, that would have characterized the rendering of these instruments into Igbo. Instead of definitions - like, 'ihe e ji e me ka....', that one finds in Igbo dictionaries - the prefix 'ozen-' allows a non-messy, compact, whole and elegant rendering of items that bear the suffix '-meter' into Igbo. That is the beauty of affixes, they curtail long, tedious usages of words that kill meaning. The English language borrowed these affixes for measurement, looking etc- '-gram', '-scope', '-meter', '-graph' etc - for economical usage of words. Once a person acclimatizes to the prefix '-ozen', the other half of the words - which are rendered in Igbo and where the real definitions are - absorbs in quickly and thus the Igbo language is enriched with hundreds of new native words. I have rendered the other English suffixes in this list - '-scope (nnene)' and '-graph (ndetu, ede') - in their Igbo equivalents. 2 Likes 1 Share |
