sorry.

>Ancient Egypt: pharoh

nope.

"Pharoah" is the Hebrew pronounciation of PER-AA, which means "the Great House."

...which would be like referring to President Bush as "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue".

>Ancient Incas: The ruler of the Inca Empire (quechua: Qhapaq Inka) used the title of Sapa (the only one)

aka "the Unique One".

> and Apu (divinity).

honestly, I've never heard of that one....but it sounds rather like "apnu" (aka Anubis, psychompomp(sp) of the dead).

My apologies, my friend.

The point of my asking was not to do a crossword puzzle or write a report....it was instead to demonstrate that there are some concepts which have no exact translation (like the Ancient Egyptian neteru, which were divine beings, yet not "gods" as we call them nowadays).

ie, a reply to -

Actually there is/was a tribe in Africa that doesn't have a word for the concept of 'should'. You either do something or you don't, I believe was how it was explained.

Anyways.

New Post Re: Griffinmoon'aiji "It is of great importance that you accomplish this task or grave consequences will occur."

might be a translation of "you should do this" without the word should.

Any concept can be translated from one language into another, however, on may use a very much longer sentence in one if the vocabulary is not conducive to the task. For instance, try discussing building an igloo in the most common language of the pigmy tribe, or a desert to a Polynesian [all beach and no ocean].

One young African girl, upon her first time drinking water with ice in it, cried that it was 'hot!' She had never seen ice before nor had she ever felt cold. Try discussing "Finity's End" with a pre-Colombian Inca. I am sure he would think you were discussing gods and demons. And that Pell was some vast island over the waters.

Those are examples from the same species. I am sure between species, it would take a lot longer sentences, but still be possible to explain alien concepts.

We weren't discussing philosophical concepts. We were discussing body parts.

*eg*

Try explaining "Christianity" without using the words "God" or "Godhead". (you don't have to if you don't want to; its an example)

Have fun. 


(despite what modern shows and movies claim, Hathor, Ra, Anubis and the others of Ancient Egypt were not gods -- they were neteru)

And he wanted to help us; so he sent bébé-jésu who grew and taught people how to live to be happy. Bad Tonton-macoutes killed him by hanging him on a tree. Papa-nou sent his light on the dead Jésu and Jésu came alive again. If we listen to his words and do what he says, we can live with him above the clouds after we die."

Reply New Post Re: Griffinmoon'aiji I have this odd itch of wanting to speak the native tongue of any foreigner I'm in company with--whether I know the language or not! I haven't managed to get any of it pinned down to examine & I'd never make an out-loud attempt but its most peculiar to hear odd words in my head.
