Though I’ve lived and worked with Sama for quite sometime, I still admit to understanding little about their practices that involve the ancestors (mag’mbo’). I was in a discussion about it once though where they were connecting the placenta with the ancestors that they revere. The idea from my understanding is that once a year the mbo’ require a sacrifice that involves returning to the land you were born and offering a financial offering that is usually dropped in the ocean. Returning to the land you were born would make sense along the lines that it is the place where your placenta was disposed of. Sama Deya according to my wife would be horrified at the idea of putting the placenta in the ocean. For them it has to be buried, but it is definitely clear that in the Sama worldview much importance is put on the placenta and its connection to the spirit world. March 15, 2013 at 7:23 am Reply • Erik Abrahamsson Hi, thanks for you comment! Yes, the placenta plays an important role in Sama cosmology, throughout Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia … In Wakatobi I met the translator of the movie “The Mirror Never Lies”, a Sama man called Sadar, and he told me that it is still practise to put the placenta into the ocean after giving birth – and this is part of a ritual (the word “thrown” is probably wrong in this context, it should rather be “put into the ocean”). The practice to throw the placenta into the sea might be foreign for most Sama in Malaysia and Philippines, but we must keep in mind that the Sama group in southern Indonesia has been separated from their northern relatives for at least 100 years.

When fishing, the men and women paddled together, however only the men fished while the women performed all related tasks such as cleaning and drying the fish and collecting the eggs. In home construction, men performed all the wood work, digging and carpentry while the women performed the task of thatching the straw roof and cutting the straw with bone sickles made from bear shoulder blades. The women prepare the whole fish supply, except fermented fish and dog food, which is left to the men. The women perform all the tasks of gathering seeds, berries and fireweed, which is used as a type of tea. From grass they construct mats, bags, baskets and boxes for storage and transportation.

(from Hall of Maat, Jim Stinehart)

"Isn’t the connection to Amarna obvious? The Hebrews were trying to gain favor with Akhenaten by praising younger sons as deserving of the finer inheritance, just as Akhenaten was a younger son who ended up being Pharaoh. The reason why the Hebrews were trying to gain favor with Akhenaten in Year 14 is that they wanted Akhenaten to remove Yapaxu from power in the Ayalon Valley. The Hebrews shrewdly decided that the way to try to get Akhenaten to change his mind about Yapaxu, whom Akhenaten had officially named as the new princeling ruler in Gezer of the Ayalon Valley, was to focus on the fact that Yapaxu was a firstborn son, whereas his younger brother (who unlike Yapaxu did not hate tent-dwellers) would make a much better ruler of the Ayalon Valley.

T-h-a-t is why 7 of 7 firstborn sons in the Patriarchal narratives get the shaft and properly so: Haran, Lot, Ishmael, Esau, Reuben, Er, Manasseh."

Note that the valley of Ayalon/Ajalon is where Joshua stopped the sun, noted in the book of Jasher.

South China pots precede Jomon pots, but first in SE Asia
Croatian fired clay figures preceded both, but no pots there...idols/dolls?

1st pots were from punt poles (sticks used as spears, walking/wading sticks, coracle punt poles) used to poke coals (& to burn wet/greenwood faster), because the tips burned, they were poked in water/mud/clay first, this produced a poker=bottle (b=p, k=t, r=l) which if left in the fire would burn the wooden pole but leave the clay bottle. Once this was understood, fired pots of coiled clay (wrapped/draped/robed/corona/crown), firmed by hand then with piece of flat wood (tapa/blade/paddle/spatula used also to scrape shellfish off rocks).

... presence of ochre/hematite/iron o(ch)re in the clay produced colors and extremely thin layer of iron metal/glaze. This simple activity over numerous generations evolved into ceramic crafts and then metallurgy, and the sap in the clay-covered poker cooked (without oxygen) to make/bake a super-glue used to haft weapons, a primitive reduction furnace.

Later punt poles (with rope loop hanging from end) were used to leash/lasso swimming dogs/horses, then from horseback

Pariarch age = Amarna age (Egypt)
The original intent in the mid-14th century BCE was “Asenath” = aSA nTr = ‘$ NT = “Fertile [thanks to] God”, with aSA nTr coming straight out of lines 48 and 49 of Akhenaten’s Great Hymn. But from the late 7th century BCE until the present day, that Amarna Age name has been neutered into supposedly being a 7th century BCE format name with innocuous 7th century BCE content: “Belonging to God”. The deliberate reason for that consistent neutering of this name, and for the deliberate neutering of Joseph’s Egyptian name and the name “Potipherah” as well, was precisely to avoid any connection to the reviled Amarna Age.(HoM JS)

Joseph’s Egyptian wife, Asenath
At the beginning of lines 48 and 49 of the Great Hymn we see aSA …nTr [where lower case a is Egyptian aleph, capital S is Egyptian shin/$, and capital A is Egyptian aleph]. The original cuneiform signs were likely A - $A - NA - TE. From the name pa-xa-na-te in the Amarna Letters, we know that the final R in nTr was silent by New Kingdom times That fits the character of Joseph’s wife perfectly, as she bears Joseph two fine sons before the Hebrews move to Egypt, and per Genesis 48: 6 many more fine sons thereafter. Joseph’s Egyptian wife was aSA/fertile, thanks to nTr/God: aSA nTr – ‘$ NT = “Asenath”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacquer

The term lacquer originates from the Sanskrit word laksha (लक्ष) meaning "one hundred thousand", which was used for both the Lac insect (because of their enormous number) and the scarlet resinous secretion it produces that was used as wood finish in ancient India and neighbouring areas.[1] In terms of modern products, lac-based finishes are referred to as shellac, while lacquer refers to other polymers dissolved in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as nitrocellulose, and later acrylic compounds dissolved in lacquer thinner, a mixture of several solvents typically containing butyl acetate and xylene or toluene. While both lacquer and shellac are traditional finishes, lacquer is more durable than shellac.
The archaic French word lacre "a kind of sealing wax", from Portuguese lacre, unexplained variant of lacca "resinous substance", from Arabic lakk, from Persian lak, the verb lac meaning "to cover or coat with laqueur".[2] The root of the word is the Sanskrit word laksha (लक्ष) meaning "one hundred thousand", which was used for both the Lac insect (because of their enormous number) and the scarlet resinous secretion it produces that was used as wood finish in ancient India and neighbouring areas.[1][3] Lac resin was once imported in sizeable quantity into Europe from India along with Eastern woods.[4][5] The modern Hindustani word lakh (लाख, لاکھ), meaning "hundred thousand
prehistoric lacquerwares have been unearthed in China dating back to the Neolithic period and objects with lacquer coating in Japan from the late Jōmon period.[7] The earliest extant lacquer object, a red wooden bowl,[8] was unearthed at a Hemudu culture (ca. 5000-4500 BCE) site in China

These lacquers produce very hard, durable finishes that are both beautiful and very resistant to damage by water, acid, alkali or abrasion. The active ingredient of the resin is urushiol, a mixture of various phenols suspended in water, plus a few proteins. The resin is derived from a tree indigenous to China, species Toxicodendron vernicifluum, commonly known as the Lacquer Tree.
The process of lacquer application in India is different from that which is followed in China and Japan.[citation needed] There are two types of lacquer: one obtained from the T. vernicifluum tree and the other from an insect. In India the insect lac was once used from which a red dye was first extracted, later what was left of the insect was a grease that was used for lacquering objects. The fresh resin from the T. vernicifluum trees causes urushiol-induced contact dermatitis and great care is required in its use. The Chinese treated the allergic reaction with shell-fish

DDeden said...

Raw lacquer can be "coloured" by the addition of small amounts of iron oxides, giving red or black depending on the oxide. There is some evidence that its use is even older than 8,000 years from archaeological digs in China. Later, pigments were added to make colours. It is used not only as a finish, but mixed with ground fired and unfired clays applied to a mould with layers of hemp cloth, it can produce objects without need for another core like wood. The process is called "kanshitsu" in Japan. Advanced decorative techniques using additional materials such as gold and silver powders and flakes ("makie") were refined to very high standards in Japan also after having been introduced from China. In the lacquering of the Chinese musical instrument, the guqin, the lacquer is mixed with deer horn powder (or ceramic powder) to give it more strength so it can stand up to the fingering.

DDeden said...

The prefix "gu-" (meaning "ancient") was later added for clarification. Thus, the instrument is called "guqin" today (a zither)

Lacquers using acrylic resin, a synthetic polymer, were developed in the 1950s. Acrylic resin is colourless, transparent thermoplastic, obtained by the polymerization of derivatives of acrylic acid. Acrylic is also used in enamel paints, which have the advantage of not needing to be buffed to obtain a shine. Enamels, however, are slow drying. The advantage of acrylic lacquer is its exceptionally fast drying time. The use of lacquers in automobile finishes was discontinued when tougher, more durable, weather- and chemical-resistant two-component polyurethane coatings were developed. The system usually consists of a primer, colour coat and clear topcoat, commonly known as clear coat finishes.

Varnish is a transparent, hard, protective finish or film primarily used in wood finishing but also for other materials. Varnish is traditionally a combination of a drying oil, a resin, and a thinner or solvent. Varnish finishes are usually glossy but may be designed to produce satin or semi-gloss sheens by the addition of "flatting" agents. Varnish has little or no colour, is transparent, and has no added pigment, as opposed to paints or wood stains, which contain pigment and generally range from opaque to translucent.

Again, you do not understand Egyptian, /Dd/ ("speaks/says") is pronounced roughly as 'Zjed', with a /D/ having the quality of /z/ combined with a soft /j/. However, it never has been the same vocalisation as the tsade.

What you have to understand is intercultural communication in ancient times: people approximated sounds of other languages, as near as possible, to their own but never achieved a total 1:1 correspondence.

This is seen clearly, for example, in the rendering of Amenhotep's throne name, /Nb-mAat-ra/, "Ra is the Lord of Ma'at", which is pronounced in Akkadian as "Nib-mu-huru-riya," because that was as close as possible for Akkadian to render the Egyptian name.

So, one culture's language will never translate directly into another culture's language. So, the sounds /Dd/ and tsade are similar, but not (and never will be) exact, so please quit trying to say that Schulman, Redford, etc. don't know what they are talking about, and that it's "impossible."

It is thoroughly possible, especially when you consider (as Schulman does) that the other names in the story (Asenath = /ns-N.t/ and Potipara = /pA-di(w)-pA-Ra/ "the one whom the Sungod Re has given") are known as regularly used ONLY during the first millennium BCE.

Thus, what Schulman is saying, and which you have not understood (apparently), is that the name of Dd-NN-iw.f-anx does not exist during the Amarna period: it doesn't come into use for the Hebrew writer to even consider using Dd-NN-iw.f-anx as a name for Joseph until the first millennium BCE, which means this is not a name contemporaneous with the Amarna period.


As I have shown, it is possible be that /Dd/ = tsade, based upon one culture's interpreting another culture's language.

Carlos likes reversals (chachi -> chicha) I seldom accept them as valid, too much wishful thinking.
I suspect that cloak links to shawl/caul, clock links to bell (Malay pukul = beat/peal) and also perhaps to clogging/clipclop, while cloaca is tube that snakes & clogs.
