The word/HkA/** (as characterized in the Egyptian lexicons) signifies "enchantment, engage, enchantment spell, supernatural impact, entrance, be beguiled" or frequently "expressions of energy." Bilolo compares the Egyptian word/HkA/with the Tshiluba-Bantu word/cianda/and contends for a reinterpretation of "science, information, power and specialist." Only in specific settings are we to interpret the term/cianda/as "magic."
He doesn't extend or give a breakdown of how the word/cianda/compares to Egyptian/HkA/. It is my point in this concise note to do only that.
The word/HkA/in the Egyptian is an extended type of the word/kA/which signifies "to state"; subsequently the extended importance of "expressions of energy." A variation type of the word is given as/Axw/"control, enchantment, mysterious words, helpful learning, authority" by method for metathesis. As we would already be able to see, we can better comprehend why/cianda/"science, high science, learning and specialist" fits into this more prominent diagram of/HkA/.
In any case, knowing the underlying foundations of words causes us to better clarify what's happening. The base of the word/HkA/and/kA/is really/A/which gets from/ - r-/signifying "mouth, articulations" > rA "word, saying, expression" > rw/rAy "words, platitudes, expressions." The k-in/kA/is a prefix and the H-in/HkA/is additionally an attach. We note additionally in Egyptian/rr/"enchantment word." When the m-prefix is included we get the word/mdw/(r>d) "talk, address (somebody), discourse, word, supplication, to counsel, to banter, to contend, to challenge, a MAGIC WORD" (Yoruba odu "ambiguous expression"). [see additionally/mdt/"matter, discourse, words, supplication, talk, (composed) words, talk, question, message, affair"].
There is yet another variation, a doublet to be correct, of this word in Egyptian given as/Dd/"articulation, words, to order, to affirm, to look after, say, talk, discuss, express (discourse), recount (spell), tell (to), expect, mean (something)."The [D] sound in Egyptian got from [k] by method for palatalization. The [d] in the C2 position gets from [r] or [l]. At the end of the day,/Dd/is only an argumentative variety of the word/kA/"to state." See Proto-Bantu *-ded-"talk"; *-jad-L "talk, give counsel"; *-jad-L "spread"; *-búud-"talk, talk, say, tell"; *-búud-id-"talk, report"; *-búud-"ask (question)" (Egyptian bdH "request, ask, to ask for, appeal to God for, petitions"): (l>d).
This root in Egyptian is the word/eela/in Tshiluba which signifies "to send away, get out or go out from the self (a sound, a thought, word,object ...), issue, express, speak." at the end of the day, this root is related with anything that ways out from the self: a thought, sound, word or protest. In Tshiluba this root progresses toward becoming cila "cry, shout out"; diyi "voice, word, arrange, act" [l+i>di] (Egyptian iri "act, do"); kalele(a) "make a correspondence yelling boisterously"; lubila "call, cry" (kwela lubila "yell, a call")"; mulunga "wail" (kwela mulunga "shout"); mulengu "woodwind"; aalula "say,explain, detail." Various joins give the root somewhat extraordinary semantic augmentations.
The Egyptian word/kA/[k-l] "to state" is related with Tshiluba akula "oral"; - aakula "talk, talk, articulate, express"; mwakulu "dialect." We can confirm this connection by the common homonym in Egyptian/HqA/"oversee, ruler, manage over"; TshiLuba - aakwila "control over, represent."
The word/cianda/given prior is a variation of this root/eela/where the govern [n+l>nd]. The ci-in cianda is a prefix. The word mwandà "business" is a variation of this term. One behaviors business (generally) "by listening in on others' conversations" in the commercial center; arranging bargains/costs. This word is a variation of maalu "learning, science(s), train, business, things, occasions, issues" > bwalu "business, cause, reason, about, blame, trouble." This word progresses toward becoming maadu "business, science, history" (Egyptian mdw; Yoruba odu).
In Egypt 'learning' was related with 'great discourse' and the capacity to 'conjure' by sound the spirit(s) behind marvels (accordingly why you needed to "know" the names of the divine beings in Egyptian philosophy). This was a science and not "enchantment" as explained in present day Egyptological examinations. Enchantment accept that one can infringe upon the laws of nature and one can't do that. These demonstrations,/HkA/, was the result of consistent perceptions of the laws of nature (/mdw nTr/). It took thinking ahead and reason and this is the reason we have the related Egyptian term/kA/"virtuoso, to plot, to design." Someone with a logical personality is regularly alluded to as a "virtuoso." Remember the root/eela/alludes to what "leaves" the self, including "thought, thoughts" (the proof of one's virtuoso).
This is the reason contrasting Egyptian with inward African dialects is imperative to the comprehension of Egyptian thoughts and ideas. They are as yet alive today in Black Africa in the regular dialects and traditions. More can be said (an entire book as a general rule), yet this was intended to be a short note.
