... make some comments on Lord Walsingham's letter (WORKSHOP 5:1 , p. 38). It must seem to many that, in these days of highly-trained specialists, speaking a language (one's own) is the one thing an ordinary mortal can do without a long apprenticeship, and that this somehow qualifies the speaker to pronounce on matters linguistic. But this is a mistaken belief; it leads to obvious nonsenses like those of Horapollo and the amateur philologists of centuries ago (not to mention the self-styled "scholars" whose speculations still swell the lists of the less discriminating publishers). Your correspondent has fallen prey to most of the temptations laid in the path of the unwary ...
212. Forum [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... for "UR" is very rare although it is attested one other time to my knowledge. If one reads Urdamane- the closest Egyptian equivalent would be Rudamun who reigned in contemporary terms about 757-754 B.C . although the exact length of his reign is unknown.(3 ) This then becomes a historical issue rather than a strictly linguistic one.

I will answer any questions that anyone has on the reading and other literature on the alternative readings suggested in the past should anyone be interested in pursuing the matter further.

... an important tribal elder his testimony would be of value. Ayab may well correspond to Joab - the literation is very similar and the meaning essentially identical .. . Aya is father or Yah[weh] is father. It would be interesting to be able to determine if Aya was a legitimate early variation of Yahweh (both might be linguistically derived from Ea). Finally, what of Tadua? This is another Hurrian name, meaning "beloved of deity". It is the Hurrian equivalent of David, which is often thought to be a throne name or dynastic name. At the time this letter was written, David is presented as being at Hebron. Hebron was ...

... of the selfish gene' concept, his unique and persuasive version of how evolution, through natural selection, works. According to Dawkins, modern physics has taken the place of God - as the watchmaker'. Archaeology and Language: The Puzzle of Indo-European Origins by Colin Renfrew. Jonathan Cape, 1987. Renfrew overturns many cherished beliefs of linguists, especially those pertaining to the origins of the Indo-European peoples.

Presence of the Past by Rupert Sheldrake. Collins, 1988. From the same stable as the theory ...

218. The Scars of Evolution: What Our Bodies Tell Us About Human Origins [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... shall do my ceremonial tongue-clucking over a few minor but undeniable flaws that I noticed in this book: On page 65, the author remarks on the frequency of skin cancer among the Celtic races'. Biologically, of course, there isn't even one Celtic race, much less a plurality of them. And, inasmuch as Celts are a linguistic rather than a genetic group, it is hard to see what would make speakers of Gaelic or Breton more susceptible than speakers of English or French to malignant melanoma. On p. 137, the word valvular' (in a context referring to the opening and closing of nostrils) is misprinted as vascular'. On p. 146 ...
