Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Ancient Egyptian/Wolof

That is a question for Diop but my guess is that the intent here is to capture sound.

Are you comparing ancient or contemporary Egyptian here?

Abdul Salau stated that hieroglyphs lacked vowels?  The Egyptian words you present have vowels.

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Ancient Egyptian/Wolof

 

Wolof
Lad = ask
Egyptian
Nad= ask


Wolof
nah= protect
Egyptian
lah= protect

Wolof
tefnit= spit out
Egyptian
tefnwt:  The goddess born of Ra's spittle

Etc.

"Origin of the ancient Egyptians "p .27-51.
Unesco's General History of Africa. Vol. 2

Correspondence between verb forms, phonetic correspondences and so are given by the scholar, Diop. So to make his point,  Dr.Salau has to do more.

I have just learnt from Dr. Keita that the Distinguished Professor Christopher Ehret, UCLA, is giving the Huggins Lectures on the Africanity of Ancient Egypt Nov. 7, 2019 at Harvard University. 4.00p
Barker Center, 12 Quincy Street
