Introduction
An ancient language form that
originated in the North African area of our most ancient civilizations has
been studied by Nyland (2001). He found that
many words used to describe names of places and things in Slavic languages
seem to be closely related to the ancient language, which Nyland called Saharan, and which later was predated by the Igbo Language of West
Africa. Fortuitously, the Basque
Language is a close relative to the original Saharan. Following is a discussion of this
relationship: Some
linguists have suggested that elements of Basque words can be detected in
many East European names and words. In the following analysis of a number of
Ukrainian, Russian and Polish names Nyland
(2001) searched for the Basque element and found that all Slavic names are
agglutinated using Basque vowel-consonant-vowel (VCV) roots with frequent use
of VCCV endings and with the vowels interlocking. This form of word
agglutination was done with the "VCV
vowel interlocking formula". For more information, see the Ogam Script and book "Linguistic Archaeology". NAMES ENDING IN "SKI"
A large number
of names end in -ski, so let us look at the suffix "-ski", an
ending common to Polish, Ukrainian, Serbian and Russian family names. The
suffix "-ski" can have many meanings in Basque. The reader must
keep in mind that the English "s" in Basque is spelled as
"z" while the letter "s" in Basque is pronounced as a
soft "sh". This means that the Slavic suffix "-ski" may
have originated from "-ski or -zki". These two suffixes have a
number of meanings in Basque: aski revenge, sufficient, frequently azki N.A. eski stairs, ladder, to offer ezki linden tree, irritable, small bell, belltower, bellringer iski pin, needle case, weapon, joke, mockery izki shrimp, letter of alphabet, to write oski shoes, cobbler, coward, afraid ozki susceptible to the cold uski N.A. uzki anus, get lost!, remains, leftovers
Some examples of -ski names: The "v" in Slavic names is always represented by a
"b" in Basque, the "c" by a "k".
Gzovski, .g.-.zo-ob.-.ski, .g. ega egarri strong desire .zo azo -azo to bring about, to make happen ob. oba obakuntza improvement .ski aski askietsi sufficient, adequate He has a strong desire to bring
about adequate improvements. Khmelnitsky, Bogdan, .bo-og.-.da.-an. .k.-.h.-.me-el.-.ni-it.-.ski, .bo abo aboskatu to proclaim og. oga ogasun property, land .da ada adarkadura ramification an. ana anaiguda civil war .k. ako akordio agreement .h. oho

of the civil war. The honorable agreement is a tribute to the many
negotiations (achieving) the laying down of weapons. Orlovski, or.-.lo-ob.-.ski, or. ora oraindanik from
now on .lo alo alokairu salary ob. oba obakuntza improvement .ski aski askiki

adequately improved. Pavlovski,
.pa-ab.-.lo-ob.-.ski, .pa opa opa izan longing for ab. aba abadune opportunity .lo alo alokairu salary, earn money ob. oba obakuntza betterment, improvement .ski aski ask sufficient, enough I am longing for an opportunity

usually meaningless) .p. ape apellaniz pasture .re ere erreka stream eze eze ezeizabarrena under the fir trees al. ale aleketa grain

under the firs we offered them grain in abundance. Sekuterski

improvement .ski aski aski enough, satisfactory Gracefully making excuses (and showing)
satisfactory improvement. It is safe to assume that all -ski names have such
sentences written in them, although not all yield
their hidden sentence as readily as the ones above did. The ending
"-itch" can also have several meanings. In Basque the sharp
"sch" is written as "x", which spelling will be used
here: itxa to await, to hope, to trust, expectation, sea itxe N.A. itxi to shut in, to close, to abandon, to denounce, to permit itxo to wait, waiting room itxu aspect, appearance, absurd, similar, to simulate,
hypocrite, imposter, pretense, to transform Adamovitch,

decent burial. 'alo' could also stand for alogereko (mercenary): Come let's give the mercenary a
decent burial. Another common ending is -ko which may come from:
Macarenko, .ma-aka-are-en.-.ko,

WHO MADE UP THESE NAMES?
The people
themselves could not have invented these
names. The system of agglutination is exactly the same as was used by the Benedictines and their grammarians
in western Europe. It is well known that there was close cooperation between
the eastern and western Christian churches in the 10th and 11th centuries,
especially between the Pannonhalma Benedictines in Hungary and the monks from
the Tyniec monastery in Poland and Kiev. The Kiev monastery of Pesherska
Lavra was established in 1040, a few decades after these other two
monasteries and the required linguists were apparently sent from there to
Kiev to train the monks in the use of the Basque Language. Pesherska Lavra The early
cooperation is still remembered because in the summer of 1996 the head of the
Russian Christian church planned to attend, with the Roman Catholic Pope, the
1000-year celebrations at Pannonhalma. Unfortunately, illness prevented the
historic meeting from happening. There was probably no longer a source of
educated Saharan/Basque speakers in Russia, so either these
specialists were recruited in Liguria (northern Italy) and Euskadi (northern
Spain) and sent east, or the linguists worked from Basque
dictionaries, without being able to speak the language. Possibly some of both
happened. |
