These are my main sources: the books "The Aramaeans: Their Ancient History, Culture, Religion" and "Studies in Aramaic Inscriptions and Onomastics"

I also know through years of experience the transformation pattern of Greek words through Latin into English

This reaction is priceless grin grin. Like pouring salt on a couple of pesky little earthworms


PS. And yes, in case you don't know, historical linguistics is one of the Auxilary Sciences used to advance historical research. My use of etymology is very valid.

Olu317:
Contrary to the long epistle on the etymology of Aramian Aramean , you dont understand which is a name derived from the land of Or; in Iraq enclave and beyond in Near East during the antiquity era. Interestingly it means,‘ bright/light', in Semtic language of the classic Hebrew in the land of Aram grin. While it became anglicised word to identify it with inhabitants as the demonym! The transliteration is ‘awra m'. Olodo lasan


Ora mi yan is a name that was formed out of Ora; a Yoruba word that grew out of ‘Oor ra'(one who brightens), Yorubas God, who is called Ora. In the manner which Oo ba( one who lord over, king,father,lord of the house etc) is identified with.Plainly Ora is another name that is identified with the ancient name of ele ( mighty one), in Yoruba religion and history. This eternal personality is the one known as Ora-mfe ; signifying the thundering light/brightness that controlls Ara( thunder) and Ninuife/Nileife.

Plainly Ora mi ( chosen breath of brightness of God ) is a limited to the actual meaning but can still be a bit inline with the Yoruba's word for God. So, get off from your nonsensical theories and read good books and go to Ileife to know people, royal bloodlinue who still attach Ora either as prefix or suffix to their names. Ora mee Iyah Ora mi yah ( brightness of the terrestrial power (birdlike ~ Igunnugu) of God. I'll advice some one on this platform to go study more so as to know the true history of Yoruba beyond this nonsensical theories you don't understand . In fact,you don't even know Ba is only classic Hebrew word. While Baba is an Arabic word, Indus word, East European word. And they are not Yoruba's. Does it mean Yoruba don't own any word in her lexicons but loaned every spoken daily words grin angry ? Olodo them them who repeat class over and over again. Help yourself with all dictionaries you can lay your hands on!

Sort this out with MetaPhysical because according to him
Aramean is a corrupted form of Oranmiyan

You both don't even have the same "clues"
Your clues are just all over the place like a babies diarrhea... No coordination, no consistency, no relevance

But of course, after all each of you are using your individual imagination so it will always come out with unmatchable "clues"

We find that Idums are always associated with Edoms. There is a neighbor of the Edoms called Nabatas.

Respectively these are Idumeans, Edomites and Nabateans.

You are not teaching anything new by injecting Greek/Latin name identifiers into your "methodology".

We already know Hausa have identifiers ending in -wa. Larabawa, Yarabawa, Hausawa, Nupawa. So to pull up a distracting "methodology" trying to teach why Adamawa carries the wa suffix is a show of indolence and sign of a compromised intelligence.


Perharps you have also read from me in either one of the Yoruba threads or a Bini/Edo thread that -

1. Idu is central to Ife and would have been used in ancient times as a geo-locator for the presence of an Orisha or its shrine.

2. When we go away from Ife Idu transforms and becomes Ado, Ido, Idi, Edo, Odo, and so on depending on the properties, gender and character of Idu that is imbibed.

3. There are many culturally indigeneous names in Yoruba that also repeat and mirrored in Holy scriptures and as well in the lands in which these scriptures took root.

4. Anywhere you read about Idumeans mention is also made of Edomites and their neighbors Nabateans....and from them came the people of Ad, who were the forebears of Arabs.

5. From above you should see even in history that there is an interlink between Idu, Edo and Ado.

6. Who were the Nabatas, or Nabateans?

Their origin is unknown but their name Nabata is an attribute of their association with water.

7. The Yoruba L when it occurs in AfroAsia it becoms N. This where Noa became Lua (as in Omoluabi). Lamurudu became Nimrod. Similarly, Labata became Nabata.

8. In Yoruba, Abata is swamp. Those that dwell in marshy grounds are Labata.

9. In my familiarity of historical accounts I have never read anywhere that history declared it could not find a people's origin....as it did with the Nabateans.

10. Is it remotely possible that Yorubas had two epochs of migration, one in which from Ife we went out and settled the fertile crescent, to be called Idumeans, Edomites, Nabateans; and a return after the founding of Ad, Arabs, Koreish, back to Ife where we are now known as Yoruba and people of Adamu Orisha?

I see the burn has subsided and you are calmer now

Oh and I didn't intend to teach you something new. This isn't the first time I would be hitting your head with lectures like these... I was reminding you who I am
And why you need to take history seriously around historians since you want to do a historians job. I might clown sometimes but this entire situation is not a joke

Here you are again with more claims. Do you have evidence for them? Or just how did you even reach this conclusion? What was your method? Did you check the etymology of these words, did you consider the available historical narratives? Are there recorded contacts between the Yoruba and the Nabateans and Edomites?
Have you familiarised yourself with who these people were?
Did you check for archaeological findings? Did you bother to include distance and the millions of people between Yorùbáland and the Middle East in your thoughts before reaching this Conclusion of back and forth migration? Or what are your sources?

Try doing so and filter your claims... Take out those weak ones that scrumble when you scrutinize them yourself

I am always unbiased. You are just too emotional and can't stand questions


And I asked you earlier if you knew the historical narrative about Oranmiyan that earned him the name Oranmiyan in the first place? You never answered

Reserve your solicitation for someone else. Everything I say in that post Ive said many times before.

I have also told you many times before now that history is behind oral records and art records. History goes to oral source to collect information it uses to produce knowledge. The information I share with you are also found in arts, in occults, in words, in religion and even in myths.

You are too small and academically insufficient to be abreast of me on the topic of root and origin of Yoruba, return here with a phd in history, I will still be ahead bringing you new ideas, and you will be in same position lamenting lack of methodology.

Do provide your source on such oral accounts and evidence of arts, religious practice and the rest

And you still haven't answered the question on Oranmiyan.

But im not an historian. Im not telling history. Im telling the past accounts of my phenomenal ancestors and their achievements as represented in symbolism, in arts, in words, in language, worship, war, priesthood and so on.

What do you want to know about Oranmiyan? You are stuck on the Aramean concept.

In Yoruba Oranmiyan himself would have either been a titular label or an attribute of his legend.

We dont say Lamidi when we refer to Alaafin. Just Alaafin alone and people know who you are talking about.

We dont say Adeyeye when we want to mention Ooni.

Do you think Oranmiyan was the given name to the Yoruba legend?

Try to think....dont just open mouth and spew anything out. Act like a Yoruba, even if you are not one. Stop speaking and revealing yourself as a pseudo-Yoruba.

You try your best to push a historical claim of monumental proportions affecting all of west African and Middle Eastern history

Yes you are no historian obviously but you don't seem to let that sink in. You want to do the work of historians but don't want to do the actual "work"

You are telling this and that, good.. Now provide evidence of what you are telling me or give me your source

Are you not stuck on the concept? We both know there is no claim that you will ever drop, no matter that evidence provided to show you that it is wrong.
Days from now you will post Aramean is Oranmiyan again
But good enough, apparently you don't know the historical narrative that makes the name Oranmiyan relevant to Odede (yes, Odede is his actual name)
And as far as the foundation of Oyo is concerned there is only one Oranmiyan and only one Oranmiyan is known anywhere in the world that is in Yorùbáland
There are no entire groups of people named after Oranmiyan in the middle East...I have demonstrated that already

There was never a time I wasn't thinking, or just spewing anything out.. That's what you and your band do.. You don't think, you only imagine.. Very different things
If I say something I can defend it

And again with this old gimmick of calling a person who is far more Yoruba than you a fake Yoruba grin grin

The reality on Yoruba history is that there were two groups whose language are intertwine in Yoruba language which are Hebrew and Arabic words. These two were the speakers that are basis for Yoruba language and settlement. While Hebrew didn't influence Yoruba but they were the major migrants that inhabit the land in Ileife with their inscription that is called Opa Oranmiyan,which the reason that they established ‘Ba' dynasty.

Do you know that Hebrew: Benas is Yoruba Binusi ? Meaning: angry at ! Yoruba root word developed from bilateral and trilateral, which were the reason the title you mentioned as Baale Baale are also cognates both in Hebrew and Arabic. Take for instance, Insha Allah and Yoruba's, ni ashe ela? Believe, these two phrase mean the same.

Although some words in Arabic mean different things in Yoruba lexicons, while the transliteration and translation by English speakers of researchers of ancient Hebrew blunders too on some meaning,while they were trying to generate ancient Yoruba's cum Hebrew ancestors language.

I don't actually take that guy serious because he is basically deficient mentally as regarding what is been juxtaposed here on protolanguage and place of Origin of Yoruba ancestors .Someone who hardly even knew what's ‘Methodology' is, on research work, books . A desperate man who is probably assimilated Yoruba man whose views are all retrogressive.

Re: Yoruba Hebrew Heritage by Olu317(m): 4:16pm On Jan 01, 2020
Yoruba language has what is called homonym.
So, I am familiar with different meaning of ‘Ba' . Here are some other meaning of ‘Ba', without diacritics as follows:

1. Ba: bend,bent

2. Ba: to plait

3. Ba: to perch

4. Ba: to lurk

5. Ba: to overtake

6. Ba: with

7. Ba: Against

8: Ba: roost

9. Ba: aux.verb should, would

10. Ba: overtake

11. Ba: to find at a place

12 . Ba : to hit a mark

13. Ba : to germinate

14. Ba: to strain through sieve

15 .Ba: to ask beforehand

16. Ba:Father

17. Ba: king

18: Ba: respect; pay homage


Lastly, a good Yoruba dictionary of 18th century and early 19th and mid 19th century will help anyone to understand some Yoruba lexicon better.
Re: Yoruba Hebrew Heritage by nlPoster: 5:05pm On Jan 01, 2020
You should notice Yoruba itself has "ba" included.

This context sounds more like "to meet" ie indigenes of a place.

Yo- Oru- Ba has been defined by different scholars which such interpretation can either be true or false. But to be able to interprete language;word, to it near perfection,then one must be a linguist who has vast knowledge on ethnography of these people and any of the ancient pictograms, hieroglyphs, papyrus, cuneiform etc to able to understand protolanguage.

Though at times, there is no crime being a maven or bookworm who studied to ascertain the status of an interpreter which I find no offence in.But one must be able to consider the difference between Teacher's language and loaned language in a community such spoken language exist. , it is important to emphasis here, such people's work will need pass through litmus test to accept any research work as such!

Between now and the last time I was active here, I have gotten my next book to 140 pages to be precise.

The beauty of knowing is in writing. I'm proud of this feat. My target is 250 pages, two books (probably one by mid this year). It's a tall order.

Changing the status quo is a great warfare. You never get tired on preservation of keen insights that comes your way.

It beats the imaginations that western education got you so blind, making you another "happy distance slave" whose appropriation of English language is bought as "education".

Unknown to you, your education is another form of slavery to foreign "organised history" at the expense of your innate gift for a degree guaranteeing a meal for your trouble each month till you fizzle out of use.

Tell us your contributions to education. What subject have you coined?? That's what you lack as typified in your posts here. You have no innate quest and respects no quests. Hence a toxin to others in their personal quest.

By now, you should be proud writing in your traditional Yoruba alphabet, on a platform invented by your gods as a man from the "all sufficient race" who is proud to have taken nothing from any other race of man from creation.
