I do not know either C.V. but my back does not ails me anymore!?!All languages looks like one of them C.V.!That's a right answer,correct one.Regards.

Hi brothers!All consonants exist.We solved it 2500-2800 years before.Reason was a trading.Demotic has had too much signs for it.Trading products needed simple way of record& marking.That's why only consonants are on inscriptions from jars.They are product code=bar code of ancient merchants.

Originally posted by theMacedonian2 Explain to me the antropology of the word   Phoinikos...(Macedonian flag for commencing an attack)

I don't undertand your question at all.

Φοίνικος is the possesive form of the dorian word Φοινιξ (ξ + ο becomes κ in dorian languages) which is a palm tree.

E.g Ο καρπός του φοίνικος = The fruit of the palm tree

Originally posted by Anton [QUOTE=Brainstorm] BTW, what does first word (prior to doron) mean?

Anton this is omega not O. It has different uses in Greek even though they sound both like an O.

I posted a complete etymology of the word ΚΛΕΙΤΑΙ and other forms on page 10.

Explain to me the antropology of the word

Originally posted by Brainstorm Originally posted by theMacedonian2 As anton said "Dar" is mentioned in all slavic languages. I belive that Russians or Polish would not have borrowed such a basic word from the ancient Greeks. Unless ofcorse you give me a theory of how something so basic could reach and be used by the russians. Because if we wore talking about some scientific term, a tool a wepeon then ok, it makes scence, but if u say that something so everyday got imported then... it sounds a bit funny. Did you see any DAR written on artifact found in Macedonia?? I saw only ΔΩΡΟΝ. So,since you believe that it would be funny this word to be borrowed because it was so basic...then you believe Macedonians didn't borrow it from Greeks.It was their word too. Isn't ?

But no, let him speak as he wishes, and you remind yourselfs that he has seperated himself equaly from our custums and language."^* � ^ Quintus Curtius Rufus, "De Rebus Gestis Alexandri Macedonis", VI,10. * My own loose translation... sorry again

Originally posted by theMacedonian2 Im not implying that the ancient Macedonians used slavic language, but I imply that they DID NOT use a Greek Language... I also belive that slavic language is the closest to an ancient language that belonged to a peoples that originated from the balkans and asia minor... and that Macedonian, Epiran and Thrakian languages wore derivates from it. But this isn the place I belive to mention the Palazgians. As anton said "Dar" is mentioned in all slavic languages. I belive that Russians or Polish would not have borrowed such a basic word from the ancient Greeks. Unless ofcorse you give me a theory of how something so basic could reach and be used by the russians. Because if we wore talking about some scientific term, a tool a wepeon then ok, it makes scence, but if u say that something so everyday got imported then... it sounds a bit funny.

You've just lost it.

The fact that it is an ISO language characterized as Greek language means that the majority of experts agree it is. And tell me a good reason why Greeks can read Macedonian inscriptions, even those before they adopted attic?
