Topic: Is the Egyptian word NTR(god) from Nut/Neith + Ra? Posted: 11-Aug-2016 at 19:24 |

Yup 40 plus years ago I was interested....long before neo revisionists or unqualified and trained novices and theorists were promulgating various theorems. Or banding about theories of alien influences. None of which is to say I reject out of hand or.... the possibility of diffusion and or assimilation thru exploration and communication, exchanges of culture etc.
Even given the technical capabilities and abilities to promote such exchange as recognized and accepted by mainstream academia today...of the contextual eras in question.
I'm no longer interested in it.
But I am in whether or not I catch some nice brown trout tomorrow.
So carry on admirably but I am finished here.

Tho the 'method' teaches us that we should seek contextual primary evidentiary sources that can be confirmed as consistent with others wherever possible... in many cases they must include oral. As there may be insufficient direct primary to verify.
Which is to say, and it's my final word on this matter, countless Hopi believe what has been asserted.
Stay inquisitive. |
And I failed to remember to add... that if you discount oral traditions and the beliefs of thousands as adequate academic sources or proofs....that...remains your prerogative. But just as easily as you might reject that or them...they will do the same to you.

Does merely asserting "In

" meet a reasonable burden of proving that Anu Naki means Ant People? If so, how?

Yup I'm aware of all that. Been teaching and have taught at various academic levels that the "Burden of Proof" rule of reason is a staple. However at this point it's been made clear by the original initiator of the claim. He didn't have the time presently to find an academic source that might still not meet with your concurrence or approval.
Consequently the advice rendered previous still stands.

Here is what I found:
Anu = Red Ant
...
The 12 phratries and their dependent clans as represented in the East Mesa villages are as follows:
1. Ala-Lengya ( Horn-flute) phratry: Ala (Horn), Pangwa (Mountain
sheep), Sowiinwa (Deer), Chubio (Antelope ), Chaizra ( Elk), Lehu (Seed
grass), Shiwanu (Ant), Anu (Red-ant), Tokoamu (Black-ant), Wukoanu
(Great-ant) Leliotu (Tiny-ant), Shakwalengya (Blue flute), Masilengya
(Drab or All-colors flute).
Naki = Want - See also Neki = Think - From Uto Azetecan root words.
Consequently, what we have (thus far) for a genuine transliteration in
regard to the Hopi "Anu Naki" are the terms: Red Ant, Want or Think,
which still cannot be qualified as meaning the phrase Ant Friends, yet. |

A claim I've read is that the word Ant is Anu and the word Friends is Naki, so Ant Friends is Anu Naki. But I didn't read it in scholarship.

Arthur, Don't feel bad about posting here or discussing with opposite POVs. I can see several different theories. Some I have come across among Egyptologists: NTR = birthing, giving life. (Like Natalis in Latin, or Nurture in English) NTR = Nature, element, principle (Like Natura in Latin) NTR = purifying (Like Natron in Latin and in Egyptian) NTR = something high up (like the "God most High" in the Old Testament) That NTR is related to the goddesses Nut("sky/heavens" that has the heavenly waters)/Nunet(heavenly "waters")/Neith(who is the unseen heavens and the heavenly waters) is my own theory. For example, the gods are often equated with the stars in Egyptian myths. And the stars themselves are celestial and heavenly. When the blessed dead die, they go to heaven and become "neteru" (gods, plural of NTRU). So this means they are heavenly too in a sense. Copts dropped the R in NTR and called it Noute, which reminds me of Nut (heavens, pronounced Newt). It's as if the R was not essential and they associated NTR most with Nut, the heavens. The best avenue for more exploration of the subject I see would be to see what words in the related Chadic/Cush-ite, and Berber languages have NTR, mean "God", or mean any of those five things and also have NT in them or mean "god".

NZ's mandatory fluoridation is not fair because it only forces it on the disadvantaged/some and not on the advantaged/everyone.

Red Clay, I googled it and found that Hopi legends talk about the Ant People helping them. What I didn't find though is a claim in an academic scholarly authoritative source (eg. peer reviewed journal, dictionary, or for that matter Hopi website) saying that Ant People = "Annunaki" in Hopi. I did find New Age-type website claiming that, and even one website claiming that the Hopi word was Anasazi (a word that actually means enemies' ancestors).

On the subject of the poll, it's never happened before. I'm looking for a glitch now.
Our software is old and creaky, glitches are not unexpected.

I probably could, if I had time. However I thought that was a common historical fact.
