Essential The Root Random Thoughts

adding on to my previous post in this thread
I'd simply add that this final -T < *-k may also come from a fossilized "human" suffix like in Mandé languages : -ce /che/. And ultimately, it traces its etymology back to the primo-lexeme ke 'wood, tree'. If you're right, the word bAk "servant" should be reanalized as bA- "arm" (Hausa bara "servant") and -k being the non-palatalized form of the human prefix (still existent in many African languages). Finally, roots you provide with final n (Dinka ran as compared to Nuer ram) are evidence that there were a lost final -t, which is required to explain the change from -m to -n: -mt > -nt > -n.
got something planned for this section soon

One thing that's starting to irritate me is black people and their criticism of those of us in the diaspora who want to give Africa a chance.
Zuckerberg and everybody's mama trying to get something going over there and here we have jive turkeys telling us 'aint nothing over there for ya' blah, blah, blah you're better off with this olde english and fried chicken nikka...
They're always trying to paint this picture of us wanting to flee or trying to escape with no plan, just running away from the plantation with no understanding of the climate we're in, it's really an insult. These idiots don't think we realize there's a cavalry out there to get us or a white supremacist post in every town. Had maroons took their advice they'd picked cotton until they died. Instead of thinking we're always trying to run away from our problems I wish they'd stop being so simple minded for a minute and consider we may actually be trying to 'solve' our problems.
I'm so tired of hearing them speak, it's a spit in the face to the maafa.

Might have to get on this wave here.
made a ill connection recently as it pertains to the Dogon Tribe

Below is a picture out of the book African Fractals: Modern Computing and Indigenous Design (1999: 107) by Dr. Ron Eglash. The symbol that represents God Nyame among the Akan is that of a stylized fist in between two ram’s horns, which make a spiral. As I have noted elsewhere, Nyame and Amma of the Dogon are the same deity. I also argue that Nyame and Amma is equivalent to the god Imn “Amen” in ancient Egypt. These are three dialectical variations of the same name. This name is rooted in a word for “hand” and the “action of the hand.”
[ [ It is said: “Amma’s clavicle resembles the form of the yu,” for “Amma holds life, therefore millet”; it is white, for “Amma is all white” (amma pili vo). The word amma means: to hold firmly, to embrace strongly and keep in the same place. “One calls Amma’s name all day long, one calls him when the day begins; he is Hogon (chief) of the scheme, Hogon of wasters; Amma arranges the scheme of things after he had wasted. Amma one is space fourteen (-fold). To pronounce the name of Amma is to preserve all space. The name of Amma is preservation and safe keeping of all things.” (Griaule & Dieterlen, 1986: 82) (bolded emphasis mine)
] ]
In other words, the name Amma literally means “to hold firmly,” and this is used to mean “preservation and safe keeping of all things.” The Dogon are telling us that Amma is the force that keeps things in order, that keeps things together. This is reaffirmed in ancient Egyptian with the terms:
Am "seizer" (Horus as a lion (at Edfu), the king) [Wb 1, 10.7-8; Wilson, Ptol. Lexikon 9]
Amm "to seize; to grasp" [Wb 1, 10.17-21]
Amm "grip; grasp" [Wb 1, 10.22]
Amm.t "grip; grasp" [Wb 1, 11.1]
D49 glyph "closed fist"
Dogon:
Jamsay (dialect) ámáŋá “hold (baby, sack) in one’s arms.”
Nanga (dialect) émbí "hold (something) by pinching it (with tweezers, etc.)"
Walo (dialect) ámbí "hold (e.g. bag, child) against one's chest."
Egyptian:
mj "take" [Wb 2, 36.1-2; EAG § 611; GEG § 336; Wilson, Ptol. Lexikon, 410]
mn “take” [Wb 2, 60.1-4; Allen, Inflection, 658; GEG § 336; Wilson, Ptol. Lexikon, 410; KoptHWb 6]
jmn "right hand" [Wb 1, 85.11-14]
jmn "to fashion, to create" [Wb 1. 83.4]
mnn “to be twisted” (ram horns as part of crowns) [Wb 2, 81.25] {compare with image below of Gye Nyame}
Nyame, Amma, and Jmn are conceived in the same way in all three traditions and this is because they share the same lexeme and are represented by the same iconography (fists + ram/ram’s horns). A deity’s function and a people’s understanding of that deity is based on the name associated with the deity. The deity is his name and if you don’t understand the language, the basic make-up of the semantics of the lexemes, then it is impossible for you to get what the Egyptians were conveying. If you aren’t a native speaker, well versed in the language, then you have to “study” systematically to get it. There is no intuition that will tell you these things.

What's up with some of these 'pro' blacks on the coli...
It's like they get full of the haterade and start talking out of their proverbial backside.
I think negroes are actually going mad out here it's the truth... how in the big ol' world do you rep the NOI and the 5 but muster the audacity to go after and hate on Hoteps?
That's like a mass murderer trying to preach to a cat burglar on a code of ethics.
Half of these people have to be taking something stout... just hard to believe otherwise.

You know, everywhere you go people state that mAa.t means "justice, truth, order, and balance." However, when I look at all of my dictionaries, they never define mAa.t as "balance." I wonder why? Now, mAa.t has a dialectical variant /mxA/ "balance, level." But we never see the mAa.t form rendered "balance, level." We should note that the graphemes <a> and <x> interchange, or I should say, correspond to each other. So what you are seeing is metathesis on the syllables with the same m- prefix. Morning randomness.
To show that <a> and <x> correspond:
Aa.y “power, might, potency, strength”
Ax.w “power” (of God), “mastery” (over work)
m.Aa “water”
w.Ax “body of water” (in the Netherworld)
Aaa “to gibber, to speak” (foreign language)
Ax.w “spells; magical creative power”; “power (of god), magic, magical words, useful knowledge, mastery”
m.Aa.w “vessel”
Ax.t “a libation vessel”
m.Aa “place”
ra "storehouse, chamber, barracks" (Budge, 419a)
Ax.yt “a room” (storeroom?)
ra "weapon, tool, working-instrument, arms, armour" (Budge, 419a)
Ax.w “(unknown)” [glyph has a knife determinative] (Vygus, 2012: 2244) Z7 - G25 - J1 - T30
m.Aa.w “products, offerings, tribute, gifts”;
Ax.wt “property, goods, possessions, thing, supplies”
Keep in mind as well that /r/ and /A/ interchange in ciKam as well.
should note that a cognate in Kikongo does mean balance: i.e., Kikongo ki.nenga "balance"; lunga "balance" [IsiZulu lunga "balance"]. Middle-Egyptian /A/ corresponds with Bantu /l/ and /n/. Note as well that M-E /a/ corresponds with Bantu /ng/, /g/, and /k/.
