Earth's statisticians

 Greeks (Bayela) are more than just measurers. They are enumerators, quantifiers, you name it. Their Kalanga group identity is known as "Haba-ngana" meaning "How many are these ones?" Their core activity of course is "ku yela", meaning "to measure". Names that they give to their kids are usually in line with measuring. Such Kalanga names as Eleni (meaning "do measure"), Ma-ndi-ela (aka Mandela, meaning "you have measured me") are typical Bayela names.

The one thing I find odd is that the Greek alphabet (aka the Kalanga alphabet) does not seem to include the best numerals. The best numerals, if today's widespread use is anything to go by, are the Arabic numerals. I have not been able to figure out why anyone would have numerals that are easier or more suitable for statistics that earth's statisticians.

London - a Kalanga exclamation/statement!

 The English are the workgroup that the Anunnaki assigned to nursing. In Kalanga they are known as Bayengi/Baengi.

The Kalanga infinitive verb "ku dana" means "to call", as in "to call the children in when a storm threatens", or "to call your daughter Marie Antoinette", or for that matter, a search party "calling" out the name of a lost hiker in the forest!.

In a Kalanga-speaking hospital setting, assume that you are the doctor, the expert. At the origin of man the experts were the Anunnaki, of course. If a nurse comes running and says to you "lo ndana", that means "it is calling him/her". The "it" could be the burial hole or the funeral pyre. In other words in such a setting "lo ndana" means "he/she is critically ill".

It is a long shot but I believe that LONDON is a Kalanga exclamation "lo ndana! (ilo gomba kene ilo bibi)".

Moscow - another Kalanga name, I believe!

 Russians are Bakhurutshe; that has been sufficiently established not to warrant too much further explanation, save to say that they are the human workgroup established by the Anunnaki first, to gather tree bark to make ropes with, and ultimately to supervise all gold mining operations. It is for this reason that the Russian word for gold is the original Kalanga name for same - zolota. If you look up the Russian word for gold on the Internet and find "zoloto" don't be alarmed because the final "o" simply expresses the neuter gender of the word, and is pronounced as an "a" anyway!

And so as the mining supervisors, the Bakhurutshe had to enforce discipline among the miners NOT TO NICK/PILFER GOLD. The Kalanga infinitive verb "ku koba" means "to disburse" or "to share out". The phrase "Mu si kobe" means "Do not disburse". The word "Moscow" or "Moskva" is a corruption of the Kalanga phrase "Mu si kobe (zolota)", which phrase means "Do not disburse/share out (gold)".

I welcome any corrections or suggestions by those who may know better.

More on Germans, French and their African counterparts - Baherero; Baganda.

 I have not come across anything to suggest that my speculations in the blog "myshasheblog" about the Germans being Baherero and the French being Baganda are wrong. I am acutely aware that those nationalities know best who they are, even if it may have just been a hunch, until I wrote it.

I will therefore continue my best guess speculations until someone corrects me. It is known that ancient script often omitted vowels, especially at the end of words, as in Muslim, a Kalanga word which should correctly be read "Mu si lime". Well, similarly the German word "Herr" meaning "Mr" is not an abbreviation of "Herero", but the full word "Herero". That is how it should be read - Herero!

The WaTusi (Tutsis) of East Africa, being Hereros also, boast a capital city in Rwanda called "Chigali",  ordinarilly written "Kigali". This Kalanga word can mean "a village" from the Kalanga verb "Ku gala", or it can mean "a cooking pot". In the case of the Rwanda capital I believe it means the latter. In other words it points to the Baherero/Germans/Tutsis having been the workgroup tasked with producing cooking pots at Mapungubwe.

The French beret is one interesting head ware. Some Baganda live in a place called Mukono (Bull in Kalanga) in Uganda. The Tswana (Sumerian) word "Marete" means testicles. The French word "beret" could therefore indicate a grafting of a Tswana word onto a Kalanga stem "Be..." The Kalanga stem "Be.." means "Those of the...", as in "Be-ijing", meaning "Those of the ijing (water well)". The said grafting, which produces the word "beret" suggests that the beret was originally made by gouging out a bull's testicles from their leather enclosure, inserting a flat disk of the diameter of a human head into the leather "pouch" so obtained and proceeding with the usual leather processing techniques on the resultant "beret".

The above are just speculations - no offence, malice or vulgarity intended.   

Covid-19 vaccine: my post jab experiences

 I am not a scientist, let alone an immunology expert, but my personal experiences after getting the jab may help scientists unravel the blood clotting mystery, or so I hope! I got my first anti Covid-19 jab on an uneventful day about two weeks ago. When I got the jab, I had my face mask on, covering both my nose and mouth. One or two minutes later a sneeze, followed by a sudden flow of mucus started. I was under observation by the vaccinating crew. For a flitting moment the attendant health worker seemed concerned, but after a few more minutes her face relaxed, as I continued to swallow my mucus from under my mask, because I had nowhere else to spit it. After some five or ten minutes we were released, and advised not to drink alcohol for at least 24 hours.

The rest of the day I felt just fine. The following day I felt like I was about to catch a cold or flu. I knew that this was something to do with the vaccine because ever since I started wearing a face mask last year, I have never caught cold or flu. Now, this is important: as a rule, whenever I feel feverish or about to catch cold or flu, I resort to RESTING as a curative measure. So, I instinctively started  resting. The feverishness not only persisted, but got worse. I decided to contact a relative to find out how she was feeling, since she had also got the jab on the same day as me. She said she was fine. Being a medical person, she passed me information that proved vital to help me recover from my flu like symptoms. She said that she had decided to engage in physical activity to lessen the risk of blood clots, given the "not so healthy" state of her heart! This was like a bolt from the blue - I needed to do the opposite of what I normally do to overcome exactly the feeling that I was experiencing at the time. I needed to be active! But normally, if I become active when feeling the way I did, the "oncoming" flu or cold would get worse. I decided to give it a try; after all the person giving me the advice did not know how I normally tame my flu; and like I said she is a medical person.

I took an hour long walk during which I exercised every part of my body; swinging my arms and legs wildly as I walked along. To my shock the more I exercised the better I felt. After an hour I returned home. I have never felt the flu like discomfort again. Exercise cured the very feelings that I normally cure by NOT exercising! I do not know what would have happened if I had continued RESTING instead of vigorously exercising. Maybe I would have developed blood clots. Like I said, I am not a scientist. I am sure there are people out there who, like me are not aware that a vaccine jab, though causing the same feelings as the onset of flu, needs to be responded to in exactly the OPPOSITE manner to a flu onset. Just my two pennies worth.  

How innovative Africans can be!

 Ever since I posted my question of 29 January, I have been sincerely trying to figure out what the answer is. I think I know the answer. What some of you at least, were thinking is how African innovativeness can be applied to circumvent the obstacle presented by Barack Obama's challenge at the African heads of state gathering in Addis Ababa.

The answer - appoint a successor before your last term of office ends; then wait. Pray hard so that nature takes its course and the appointee somehow meets his maker just before the election. Then your party will be facing certain defeat unless it can somehow subvert the constitution and enable you to "stand in" for your deceased appointee. Voila! done. You've "constitutionally" got your extra term of office.

Only problem is: from now onwards appointees are likely to run for dear life as soon as they are appointed!

The first soldier

 "He is five foot four and he is six feet two; he fights with missiles  and with spears; he is the one who must decide who is to live and who is to die..."

I don't know who sings the quoted song (Universal soldier?) but I suspect it could be the American singer Donovan. The original "soldier's" responsibility was neither to rule nor to overthrow legally constituted governments. Rather, it was to GUARD gold freight carried by human mules along the Tate River, from Nyangabwe (Francistown) to Mapungubwe Hill. The reader will recall that Mapungubwe is situated at the confluence of the perennial Limpopo River and the seasonal Shashe River. The Shashe River in turn has a tributary, known as the Tate (father) River. At the confluence of the Tate River and  one of own tributaries - the Ntshi River, lies Francistown city and its gold mines. And so during the Anunnaki days, humans mined and carried the gold (zolota in Kalanga) along the dry river bed of the Tate, then along that of the Shashe and onto Mapungubwe Hill.

Kalanga speakers refer to the Tate River as the Dati River. Nonetheless I am convinced that the river's correct name is Tate, because the so-called mixed race people of Francistown call it that - Tate River. You see the mixed race people of Francistown have been "mixed" since human creation. They are children of the white Anunnaki miners and humans, at the time when all humans were black. How do I know this? In Kalanga one such person is known as "Gutwane", plural "Bakutwane", derogatively "Makutwane". The word Gutwane is a corruption of the Kalanga phrase/question "Gu-ti-wa-ani?" literally meaning "Miner! whose (children) are we?" It is from the Kalanga language that Sumerian (Sotho/Tswana languages) subsequently called them "Lekutwane", plural "Makutwane". And so what their descendants call the Tate River will be uncorrupted - they have lived around the mines since humanity was created. Of course Africa quickly turned them Black, but as a community, they have remained a separate black tribe for thousands of years. When white European colonisers returned to Africa, they too intermarried/interbred with the then Black Bakutwane because it was the latter who knew, and showed the former where the gold mines were. The former then "discovered" the gold and "founded" Francistown city! The natives (Bakutwane) however stuck with the name of their river -Tate, which name the Europeans changed to Tati.

The Kalanga name "Dati" however, is an informal (almost corrupted) version of the name. Literally, Dati means a bowed branch trap, the kind that "jungle men" such as Tarzan set up to catch unwanted intruders and hoist them up sky high! And so human gold (zolota) mules along the Tate River were protected ala "Dati" by unseen guards known as "zolo-dati", from whence the name soldier/soldat comes. In other words, the original soldier's duty was likely, to guard against economic plunder by Homo erectus, and not to kill other humans; certainly not to overthrow the government, which at the time was that of our creators.

Your Excelencies, what did you understand?

 Just before he left office, then US President Barack Obama addressed African heads of states assembled in Adis Ababa. I wonder who had invited him. Anyway, Obama said things, some of which if taken up and practiced by his listeners would pull Africa out of the poverty that she is currently in and has been in for thousands of years.

Two things stand out, in my opinion. Obama said that if he were to run again for elections he was confident that he could win, but that he could not run again because that is what the constitution of the United States mandated - two terms and no more! The other thing that Obama said, which is in a way related to the first is that Africa needs strong institutions, and not strong men.

Your Excelencies, what did you think as you sat listening to those words of one of your own?

  

"It is the BDP that is dying - BNF"

 Unless you are a "Botswana-n" this post will be of no interest to you. 

I have just read the above titled article by BNF publicity official Justin Hunyepa. It's really sad. You see, I enjoy watching wildlife documentaries on TV, particularly the way that animals forage or hunt for food.

When lionesses decide to make a kill, first they pretend to be abandoning their vintage points. They actually behave as though they are dispersing, when in actual fact they are encircling their prey. From a safe distance of "dispersal" they crawl back into formation around their prey, all the while keeping hidden in the most camouflaging vegetation. When the time is right, they pounce! The prey finds itself running from one lion to another equally ferocious one lying in ambush with its strength fully preserved.

My advice to Hunyepa and BNF: You are almost fully surrounded. It started in Palapye in 1998 when, because you did not have a Party Intelligence Department, you could not appreciate the crisis of conscience that your Director of Elections was grappling with. Now the encirclement is almost complete. In 2024 it will be a complete whitewash, probably the first genuine one since 1966. 

What is gold called in Kalanga language?

The town of Francistown in Northern Botswana is an ancient gold mining town. It is thanks to the gold mining that Kalanga language is still spoken in the surrounding areas - northern Botswana, south western Zimbabwe. Nyangabwe, as Franscistown was called during the Anunnaki-led mining operations, is connected to Mapungubwe hill by seasonal dry river channels.

So what is gold called in Kalanga? I have long puzzled over what is seemingly the absence of a word for gold in Kalanga. It was not until I adopted a methodical  inquiry that things became clear. The leading Anunnaki workgroup in mining operations were the Bakhurutshe. Indeed some accounts give their name as deriving from "mining supervision". The most technically advanced group of Bakhurutshe are the Russians. So what do the Russians call gold? Well, they call it "zolota"; as interesting a Kalanga word as they come.

The Kalanga verb "Ku lota" means "to burn and turn into ash". So the word "Zolota" means "that which burns and turns into ash/powder". To me this is the first confirmation that the stories I have been reading about monatomic gold (ormus) during the Anunnaki presence on Earth are true. So the Kalanga word for gold is the same as the Russian word for it - "zolota". It has to be, because the word is a Kalanga word anyway!
