A Basic Linguistic Lesson: The Difference between Etymology and Semantics

Words aren't simply tools for communication—they're weapons of conquest and subjugation. In this mind-expanding episode, linguistic scholars Yisrael Bay and Abdullah Bay unpack the crucial distinction between etymology (the historical origin of words) and semantics (their current meaning and usage), revealing how this difference has been weaponized to erase cultural identities.

The brothers deliver a masterclass in linguistic methodology, demonstrating how words evolve—or more accurately, how they're deliberately transformed—to serve political purposes. Using examples like the word "color" (which etymologically means "to cover or conceal" but semantically has become a racial classifier), they illustrate how language has been manipulated to strip people of their heritage, nationality, and sovereignty.

Most powerfully, Abdullah Bay explains how this linguistic manipulation constitutes cultural genocide under international law. When states like Spain, France, England, and later the United States reclassified Moors as "Negro," "black," or "colored" in official documents, they committed acts of subjugation by erasing cultural identity and national sovereignty. This subjugation cannot be addressed in U.S. courts but requires international legal remedies—a crucial distinction that has prevented many from seeking appropriate justice.

The presentation breaks down the dimensions of semantics, including how words change through narrowing, broadening, pejoration, and reappropriation. For example, "America" originally referred to indigenous peoples across North, Central, and South America but has been narrowed to mean only U.S. citizens. Understanding these mechanisms of linguistic manipulation provides tools for reclaiming authentic cultural identity.

Want to decolonize your language and reclaim your cultural heritage? Start by understanding the etymological roots of the words you use daily. As Philip K. Dick noted, "The basic tool for manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words"—and recognizing this manipulation is the first step toward liberation.

peace world. How you doing. It's your brother, mikey fever. Here's another episode of nyp talk show. Don't forget to like, share, comment, subscribe, super chats and all that good stuff. Hope everyone has a blessed, a blessed wednesday evening. We got our special guests, our guests Israel Bay and Abdullah Bay, and these brothers are about to give another great demonstration and they will be speaking about you know, linguistics, the difference between linguistics and etymology. So, brothers, go ahead, take the floor. Man, all right.

Speaker 2: 0:43

Peace, peace, peace everyone. Today's topic is a basic linguistic lesson the difference between etymology and semantics.

Speaker 1: 0:52

Mm-hmm, definitely. Oh, you got the presentation you want to put up.

Speaker 2: 0:59

Yeah, is it the screen sharing?

Speaker 1: 1:01

Yeah, definitely, I got you right now. Hold on there, it goes. Boom, was it the screen sharing? Yeah, definitely, I got you right now. Hold on there, it goes.

Speaker 2: 1:07

Boom. So this is from my lesson etymology of the, my linguistic lesson etymology of the word guide, a basic lesson on the linguistic methodology of reconstruction of words and historical sound changes. We can't address the tongue without addressing the brain and don't forget this is the hypoglossal nerve that connects the tongue to the brain. The tongue functions such as eating, swallowing, speaking, singing. So we want to reconnect this hypoglossal nerve by Word Step Study Group. By Word Step Study Group, yisrael Bay. Founder and teacher Contact info Facebook page Yisrael Bay. You can find me on Facebook type in Yisrael Bay Facebook page. Also Word Step Study Group YouTube channel at Word Step Study Group and email Step Study Group 333 at Gmail dot com. So some quotes, a couple of quotes. The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words. Philip K Dick.

Speaker 1: 2:26

Got you Power, philip K Dick Got you Powerful, very powerful.

Speaker 2: 2:29

The true sense meaning of a word must not be ignored, or the ignorant will indeed create a world of nonsense. And also grammar must not be ignored, or your tongue shall be against you. Yisrael Bey, those are my quotes right there. Preface to the book. A preface to the book. The author intends to advance the general public to the next level of word comprehension and speech development by introducing a proper methodological way of studying, slash teaching, some of the most basic and fundamental elements of linguistics, eg phonology, morphology, etymology and semantics. The reader will become conscious of the way sounds are produced and how sounds and letters are conveyed into different language families of Indo-European origins, ie English words of the Germanic language transliterated into or from French words of the italic language family Powerful, powerful, powerful.

Speaker 2: 3:31

Yes, the table of contents acknowledgements. First, brother Taj Tariq Bay's comment on my linguistic lesson, nyp Talk. Ron Brown captures the essence of my linguistic lesson, NYP Talk. Mikey Fever comments during my linguistic lesson. Bro Brock Ewing gives positive feedback on my linguistic lesson.

Speaker 2: 3:52

Chapter one conversation between Yusuf El and Israel Bay. Page one conversation between Yusuf El and Israel Bay. Part one Conversation between Yusuf El and Israel Bay. Part two A basic lesson on the linguistic methodology of sales shift and trans, and translation versus transliteration. Uh, supporting evidence, slash, findings of fact. Etymology of the word Jesus. Israel Bay's rebuttal to use of L's claims.

Speaker 2: 4:20

And then chapter two, indo-european languages, tools of linguistics. Sound chart and language chart. The morphology of words using transliteration. Comparative linguistics, examples, number one and two Indo-European family language chart. Indo-european language tree. Transliterations of the word God, transliterations of the word mother. The Indo-Europeans and historical linguistics. Chapter 3, etymology versus semantics, which is what I'll be reading today. The core principle of etymology and semantics, etymology and vocabulary, page 13. And etymology and vocabulary, pages 14 and 15, those out of Brother Abdullah's book. Etymology and vocabulary. Pages 14 and 15 goes out of Brother Abdullah's book. Etymology and vocabulary. Yeah, yeah, etymology and vocabulary. Semantic studies did the meaning of the word evolve or devolve In chapter four. Sounds of linguistic symbols. International phonetic alphabet vowels the technical name and traditional name for vowels. International phonetic alphabet consonants. English consonant sound and IPA symbols the technical name for consonants. Linguistic symbols and their sound function theta and F. Where do they go? Elements of phonology, epithesis and elision. Final question and answer and hypoglossal nerve. So let's get into today's lesson.

Speaker 1: 5:52

I want to say this before we go any further when this book is released, I need to get me a copy oh, yeah, indeed, I have to give you a copy.

Speaker 2: 6:02

Yeah, that's on my to do list.

Speaker 1: 6:03

Trust me, I have to. It's a copy. Yeah, that's on my to-do list. Trust me, I have to. It's an arsenal right there, go ahead.

Speaker 2: 6:10

So the core principle of etymology and semantics Etymology examines the original behavior or function of a word before its social application evolution, while semantics examines the behavior or function of a word after its social application devolution. Etymology the core principle of etymology, the core principle of etymology is historical linguistic development. Historical linguistic development is the evolution as well as the devolution of a word within different languages through phonology, ie transliterations and sound shifts, and through morphology, ie translations and prefixes, suffixes, infixes, circumfixes and superfixes. Semantics the core principle of semantics, the core principle of semantics is compositionality, a complex expression derived from the meanings of its individual parts and how they are combined. This principle explains how people can understand black vernacular, english or slang. Example word plus object plus concept equals reality. Word plus concept plus object equals reality.

Speaker 1: 7:18

so I have a question before you. So my bad god before you know, pardon, pardon the intrusion. I have one. One question, though, before you go any further how does etymology help us understand the history of words?

Speaker 2: 7:36

So etymology itself means the historical. It's the true, actual, original and historical meaning of a word and also the development of a word.

Speaker 1: 7:51

So it goes through.

Speaker 2: 7:53

it takes you back through the languages. It shows you which language, the time, the year and the language. Right so the time on the timeline, you'll see what year the link, that word entered a certain language and what it actually meant when it entered into that language okay, gotcha.

Speaker 1: 8:10

So can two words have different etymologies, but but be similar in semantics. Is that possible? Say it again, bro can two words have historical etymologies, but but be different? Yeah, etymological roots yes, etymological roots but be different in semantics. Correct, yes yes, all right, got you. You may continue. My bad, bro, mm-hmm.

Speaker 2: 8:36

All right. So we have the word apple and then we have the object, the fruit which we call an apple today, object, the fruit in which we uh call an apple today, uh, and then the concept in our mind the reality is, you know that fruit is called an apple. So when we say the word apple, this is the object, that this the image that appears in one's mind, in our minds, today. So a more detailed breakdown on etymology and semantics is on the next page. Etymology and vocabulary, page 13 by professor abdullah l. To leave mosey bay, See http. Mores and masonryorg For this book. You can find this book at mores and masonryorg. Etymology and aid in reading and dictionary study skills.

Speaker 2: 9:27

Etymology is derived from the Greek root etym. E-t-y-m meaning history, origin, true or real, and log L-O-G meaning study, science, word theory. Etymology is an indispensable discipline used as a foundation for other fields of study. Webster's New International Dictionary of the English Language 1921 edition, defines etymology as the origin or derivation of a word as shown by its analysis into elements, by pointing out the root or primitive upon which it is formed or by referring to it, or by referring it to an earlier form in its parent language. Also an account setting forth such origin or derivation, often with facts bearing upon the words, relationships, the formal history of a word. And then we have semantics. Semantics is the field of study that reveals how words gain connotative meanings and become, through European social engineering, the common understanding, ordinary meaning, plain meaning and the established meaning place connotative meanings in dictionaries and, over a period of time, the etymological slash, original meanings and applications of words are de-emphasized and eventually lose their true essence in the general public. Because the general populace has not taught the etymology of words, the people are conditioned through European social engineering to accept the connotative and distorted meanings as being the true, real and original meanings.

Speaker 2: 11:06

Denotation is derived from the Latin word denotere meaning to mark completely. Denotation is the state of using an object or symbol to signify, indicate, mark or designate a word. The objects or symbols used as markers for words are the reference. Objects or symbols used as markers for words are the reference. That is to say that to denote is to tie a word to its objects or symbol. The word chair denotes a piece of furniture having a seat, legs, back and often arms.

Speaker 2: 11:41

It must be made clear that etymology is not the study of words. This oversight will render a huge misconception into the study of etymology. It is important to emphasize that etymology is the study of the history, origin and true meaning of words. Further, it is proper to note that there is a clear distinction between the study of the true meanings of words and the study of the meaning of words. Semantics is science that deals with the meaning of words. Let's examine the word nice as a way to comprehend the importance of distinguishing the difference between the study of the true meaning of words and the study of words. The etymology of the word nice means not known, stupid and ignorant. This meaning is found in the etymological brackets in dictionaries Latin Nessius, Ne, N-E, Nat plus Sire, S-C-I-R-E. Meaning to know the meaning that the general public uses for the word nice are the connotations for the word. These meanings are found in the entry level section of dictionaries.

Speaker 1: 12:47

The entry level section have a list of various definitions that are numbered you know, hearing you demonstrate this, read this presentation right when you guys come on here. The only thing, that's the only quotes that's ringing in my mind right now is malcolm saying you've been had, you've been bamboozled, run amok. Because I'm like it's through the power of language, as Abdullah Bay say, we've been subjugated to as like fifth class citizens and such the value dehumanize is through the power of, not only through religion and the forced brutality of slavery, but through language itself. So I'm like, I'm just amazed it's going. That's why I'm like wow, wow, wow.

Speaker 1: 13:34

You may continue, girl, I'm bad.

Speaker 2: 13:35

Okay, so yeah, this is etymology vocabulary, pages 14 through 15 by Professor Abdul-Aziz Mosey-Bey. Again, more than masonryorg, etymology reveals how the connotative meanings of words become. The general public accepted and established new meanings. Connotative meanings are placed in dictionaries and, over a period of time, the original meanings and applications of words are de-emphasized and eventually loses their true essence in the general public. Thus, since general populace has not taught the foundation of words, it is socialized into accepting connotative meanings as being the true, real and original meanings. The students of etymology, in using the original meaning of words as their foundation, will be able to determine if a word has been given new meaning. The etymology of the word slave reveals that the new meaning interjected into the social fabric of society is far from its original and true meaning. The entry-level meanings for the word slave contradict its etymological meaning. The meaning displayed in the brackets, the original meaning of the word dollar, is completely different from that used by the general brackets. The original meaning of the word dollar is completely different from that used by the general public. The true meaning for the word consider has an astronomical usage. The origin and historical development of a linguistic form of words are shown by determining its basic elements earliest known use, changes in form and meaning, tracing its transmission from one language to another, identifying its cognates in other languages, reconstructing its ancestral form where possible, explaining the changes words have undergone, the variations of form and spelling from its first appearance in the language to the present time, and all its different meanings and shades of meanings Down into the semantic studies. Once again, the basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. He who controls the meaning of words controls those who must use the words. Philip K Dick.

Speaker 2: 15:57

Semantics provides a crucial theoretical framework for translation. Translation is fundamentally and deeply intertwined with semantics. The primary purpose of translation is to accurately convey meaning from a source language to a target language. A translator who only focuses on literal, word-for-word substitution will fail to produce an accurate translation, because they are ignoring the semantic contextual background of the text. So what is the difference between etymology and semantics? Etymology tells us where a word came from, along with its original and true sense meaning, while semantics tells us how a word acquires new meanings of different contexts Etymology Etymology is the study of the origin and historical development of words.

Speaker 2: 16:46

It traces how a word was formed, what it originally means and how it entered a language, often through borrowing from other languages, eg. Latin, greek, old english. It reveals the actual, true or original meaning of a word and invokes the following questions when did the word come from? What were its earlier forms in older languages? How has its spelling or meaning changed?

Speaker 2: 17:12

Below we will trace the word color back to its linguistic roots To uncover its original and true sense meaning. So, example the etymology of the word color comes from Latin Colos, meaning a covering. Modern English color. We have in modern English the word color Going back in time, middle English, colour. British spelling is still this way C-O-L-O-U-R. Old English, hugh H-I-W or Hugh H-I-E-W or Hugh H-U-E. Anglo French Colour C-U-L-U-R and colour C-O-U-L-O-U-R. Old French. Color complexion, appearance Latin colos, meaning a covering. So in Old French the word color means complexion and appearance. But that comes from Latin and in Latin the word is colosos, c-o-l-o-s, meaning a covering. The Proto-Indo-European Pie root of the word color Is keldash, k-e-l-dash, meaning to cover, conceal or save. So etymology Traces the word color from modern English Back through French to Latin, showing how the word Acquired a new meaning through phonetics and morphology. Wow, wow.

Speaker 1: 18:42

So we, basically the people, are basically speaking a language that's not even authentic. It's just been broken down as they talk.

Speaker 2: 18:49

Wow, wow. I mean, the language is authentic, the words are authentic, it's just people are using the semantic meanings of words, the new acquired meaning of words and that comprehending the original meaning of the word I'm sorry.

Speaker 1: 19:05

I mean my mind is blown as listeners watch like wow so we have a example.

Speaker 2: 19:14

the word color originally means to cover, hide, conceal. That's etymology, but it's new implied meaning. Semantics primarily refers to the visual perceptual properties of an object, Chroma spectrums, ie white, black, brown, yellow, red, etc. Brown, yellow, red, etc. So the semantics of the word color, the literal meaning, the visual perceptual property, chroma spectrums red, blue, green, etc. Figure of speech slash metaphorical meanings. So these are the figure of speech slash metaphorical meanings Racial slash ethnic identity, people of color. Emotional vividness His story had a lot of color. Meaning vivid, detail or flair. Political meaning show your true colors. Meaning reveal true intentions. Physics slash light refers to how different wavelengths of light are perceived Real quick for the audience.

Speaker 3: 20:27

So we can make that the audience is very clear that when Israel has up here racial, slash, ethnic identity, that is people of color. That is not he's not saying Israel is not. He's not saying that the term people of color is a racial or ethnic identity. That is how it's been used. Color is a racial or ethnic identity. That is how it's been used. It's been people of color, colored people, colors, figure of speech. So it has been misclassified as ethnic identity. So he's showing it's modern, it's current use that the people relate They'll say, yeah, my ethnicity, yeah, people of color, that's my ethnicity. Yeah, it's my ethnicity, people of color, you know. So it's not ethnicity.

Speaker 3: 21:35

And he gave the etymology hide, conceal, illegal meaning, fake, artificial, not real, an appearance, a pretext, a simulacum, simulants, artificial, having nothing to do with skin tone, pigmentation, hue or complexion. So he's showing how this is a cultural erasal. This is a cultural erasal. This is culture genocide. You have culture genocide and you have what's going on in Palestine that's called physical. What's going on in Palestine is physical genocide. You have culture genocide. So we have this so color.

Speaker 3: 22:39

How they that the United States classifying our people in their record in their government structure as people of color, black and Negro. That is an act of subjugation in international law. In international law, when a state ie France, ie United States, ie England or ie Portugal, when a state takes a foreign people, a conquered population, and placed in their place that conquered, redefined and reclassified that conquered population in their government records, whatever they redefine them For with us, it's been for the United States for over 20 years. For over 20 years, united States has committed, has redefined and reclassified us and their government structure as black, negro, colored, african American. That is an act of subjugation, a cultural erasure of a people, a cultural identity, erasing our cultural identity, slash nationality, slash national identity and thereby removing our sovereignty. So it's not. It's what was the motive and what is the result? What's the motive of the act? So we have the act, we have the motive of the act, the act subjugated act, and what's the result of it?

Speaker 3: 24:36

That is not to be addressed in this state. That is not to be addressed in United States courts. United States courts do not United States Supreme Court. United States Supreme Court, united States District Courts do not have the jurisdiction. That's the wrong venue. It's international court because we are a foreign people. It would be a political question, doctrine. We're not going to go to the United States Supreme Court, the United States Supreme Court make a ruling against the United States on the subjugation of a people. They can't hear it. That's a political question, doctrine, because you're dealing with a subjugation of a people. You're dealing with war. That's of a foreign people. It's international world court. People. It's international world court.

Speaker 1: 25:34

Hold on, abdullah, you are unpacking a lot there. I'm still in the middle of this, while speaking to you guys, trying to wrap my head around all that he's saying, because I have heard the term etymology, how to use it, the usage of it, but he goes so deep into it where he's saying how it's timestamp we know the root of the word etymology than the semantics Timestamp how it's timestamp like. We know the root of the word etymology than the semantics time stamp, the definition, the context, how it changes. But when you just, like you said, when you go back to the etymology of it and what you were saying, how we lost, we were stripped of this through the social construct of went from nationhood down to people of color, it's like time stamping, like damn. So it's the words that we became again fifth class citizens. It's the words and their quote, unquote legal system you said fifth class citizen.

Speaker 3: 26:27

No, it's not fifth class citizen. Alright, let's, we gotta take it to the international law. Alright, we have to apply international legal process. It's called subjugation, not fifth class citizen. Once you say fifth class citizen thank you for saying that. I can clear everything up. When you say it's fifth class citizen, now you take it out of its proper venue, international law right, because it's subjugation. Subjugation is international law. When you say fifth-class citizen, you weaken the argument. Now you place it within the United States venue, you place it within the United States jurisdiction because you said it's fifth class citizen.

Speaker 3: 27:16

When you say subjugation, it now falls out of the United States venue, united States jurisdiction, into the international jurisdiction, because when you're saying subjugation, you're talking about a state, ie United States or France or Germany. That is what violating another state China or France, china or Germany against a state. So in this case, subjugating meaning putting a people, erasing their, stripping them of their cultural identity, slash nationality, alright, so it's not. It's not just a people stripping them of their cultural identity, slash nationality, all right. So it's not. It's not just a people, it's a people who belong to a foreign state that is outside the United States courts to hear. So it's very important that we understanding thank you, mike understanding the proper application of law, the operational law, so our original status will let us know what remedy to apply. We have our original status. See that Morse flag. Our original status, that's our mother. That's our original status Belonging to our mother. All right, I'm rocking the park. That's our original status, that's our current status. Our current status, the status that we've had as a people for the past 200 years, is that being subjugated on the United States. The United States forced us into their legal system. That's another action. You have cultural erasal. You have the erasal of cultural identity slash nationality. That's one act of subjugation. Now another act of subjugation, known in international law as acquisition of the nationality through subjugation, is taking forcing a conquered people into their legal when. The United States forced us into their legal system. That's another act of subjugation. All right. So a third act of subjugation is placing that force-conquered people into a new citizenship category framework. That's a third act of subjugation that falls into not United States courts.

Speaker 3: 29:42

You don't go with it, my brothers and sisters. We don't write anything to bring this argument to United States courts. It's a political question, doctrine. They won't hear it because you're dealing with United States subjugating. You're talking dealing with United States subjugating. You're talking about arguing United States subjugating a people, thereby removing their sovereignty. That is outside of the jurisdiction of the United States court. It's a political question, doctrine. They won't hear it. It falls alive within the world court. Mike, mike, mike, Mike, mike, mike. That political question, we're like hamster bro, we. What I'm saying is we. We conscious, morris, hear me out, conscious Morris. We're spending a lot of time, a lot of resources, a lot of time, a lot of resources down the wrong area.

Speaker 1: 30:50

No, I respect what you're saying. Can I one thing before I do a little bit? Correct me if I'm wrong, because you know this whole Moors paradigm? When they get into the law, you know it's always you got some naysayers. But I'd like to know when did that take place when they subjugated us through the language? Was it in Carpenter's Hall, as they say?

Speaker 3: 31:09

No, no, let me. I'll give you that, but let me first. When you say naysayers, you don't have to say any names, that's just I'm going to. This is for the audience. Naysayers can be all right. This is for the audience because it's clear. In order for someone to challenge me, you can only challenge me with evidence by saying that's not so, that's nothing, that's not a challenge, that's not a naysayer. So let's put, let's put audience. When someone says Abdullah doesn't know what he's talking about, that's not a naysayer, that means nothing. With the evidence to prove that Abdullah doesn't know what he's talking about. Come on, my brothers and sisters, come on Evidence, finding of facts, not Israel's talking trash. Israel doesn't know what he's talking about. That means nothing. We got to elevate Mike. We have to elevate the audience.

Speaker 1: 32:22

I agree with you we must elevate the audience. We have to elevate the audience. I agree with you, we must elevate the audience.

Speaker 3: 32:26

We have to elevate the audience. We have to build critical thinking. No, no, I'm saying I want you to. This is good, mike, because I want to take opportunity for a teachable moment for the audience, because there's a lot of that going on. So, what they say, what does that mean? Like, what we have to do is teach the audience to analyze everything, every word, every phrase, everything. But they don't have to. Israel's teaching them the tools. This is the skill in which you do it. Israel's presenting it. They need to get Israel's book.

Speaker 1: 33:00

That's what I want to copy, because I'm like this is the skill.

Speaker 3: 33:03

He's teaching the skills on how to do it.

Speaker 1: 33:05

As he's speaking, I'm like reconstructing things in my mind, Like it's like got neurons going like hold up. It's like it shifts everything. It deconstructs like the conceptions that we've been given. Thank you, I like that Deconstructs go and then I'm like, oh shoot, so it's taking you back into like a walk through time and that's why I was like when you mentioned that thing about being subjugated to the nation, I'm like I did hear something in passing through the years that have taken place, when they removed, when they were calling you more to call you a Negro into a Black, and I'm like I believe that's something that took place in, like they say, Carpenter's Hall.

Speaker 3: 33:44

No, no, they didn't start with Carpenter's Hall. So that's what's going to kick off. Right, here we go See, once you start Carpenter's Hall, all right, you're going to lose. You're going to lose because Carp. So now you're.

Speaker 3: 33:59

So what about Primatica, the Pope Philip II, pope Philip II of Spain, the Primatica, which is an edict. The Primatica of 1567 is an edict from Pope, from King Philip II of Spain, forbidding the Moors to wear their culture headdress to speak Arabic. Our culture identity, the race of our culture identity, that's 1567. What about Côte Noire? Côte Noire, the French Côte Noire of 1685 applied in the Caribbean. The French Côte Noire of 1724 applied in Louisiana Territory. What about the Aciente de Negro, the Spaniards?

Speaker 3: 34:50

So we can't start with Carpenter Hall. So there, because you got to bring Spain in, you got to bring Portugal in. You got to bring England, slash Great Britain in. You got to bring Portugal in. You got to bring England, slash Great Britain in. You got to bring France in. United States has maintained our cultural erasal, our race of our cultural identity, nationality, the subjugation, the cultural erasal of the climatica, climatica of 1567. Showing you it didn't begin with the United States. The United States had maintained it. Yes, they maintained the subjugation they fought, yes, but it didn't begin with corporate. We can't start with 1775.

Speaker 1: 35:36

I got you To listeners and viewers. Take notes, because that's what I'm doing right now. This is important because that's what I'm doing right now.

Speaker 3: 35:42

This is important because that's what I was just writing down. Yeah, I just wanted to bring this, provide a lot of clarity here. So, thank you, mike, and this is why I was presenting the tools. Yeah, definitely, this is the tools of deconstructing. Deconstructing that Spanish and French and that social engineering mind that was caused by the Spanish and the Spain and France and England, that's Great Britain and Portugal.

Speaker 3: 36:15

So Israel and I, we know saying the Europeans is not good enough. We can't, that doesn't, you can't. We got to teach them not to say European. We have to identify the kingdom by name. European, that's not a sovereign, that's not a, that doesn't. European doesn't identify a kingdom, doesn't identify a national sovereignty. So we have to say Spain and Portugal and France and United States. We have to identify the name of the sovereign state and we have to do that so that people we want people to model us, we want them to model us. If we say Europeans, then they're going to say Europeans. They're going to say you know, this is loose to say an African, the same thing that loose stuff, or American or European, basically the continents.

Speaker 2: 37:14

The names of the continents are not the names of the nations they specified straight, deep.

Speaker 3: 37:19

Yes.

Speaker 1: 37:19

I like that and that's the power of linguistics and the research context Got you. I was connecting that, go ahead.

Speaker 3: 37:30

You're doing a wonderful job, brother.

Speaker 2: 37:32

All right, appreciate it. So Emotion or Vividness? His story had a. I already read that. Yeah, I read that. Physics light refers to different wavelengths of light, how light is perceived. We have the contextual variations. Colorblind literal can't distinguish colors. Metaphorical claims of racial impartiality. Colored language could mean vulgar language or emotionally charged speech. Emotionally charged speech.

Speaker 2: 38:02

Semantics analyzes how the word color is used in various contexts, its literal versus figurative meanings and the background or associations it carries. So five key differences of etymology and semantics. Etymology comes under historical linguistics. Semantics comes under theoretical linguistics and philosophy of language. Semantics comes under theoretical linguistics and philosophy of language. Etymology looks at the actual and original. Etymology looks at the actual, original and historical meaning of a word. Semantics looks at the new meaning of a word as it functions in society today. They often overlap, but etymology explains where a word came from, while semantics explains what it means now and how that meaning may change in the future. Connection between the two, etymology and semantics. Etymology and semantics are often related. For example, knowing that the word color comes from Latin kolos, a covering, might enrich your understanding of metaphorical meanings like add color to a story, ie cover with details.

Speaker 2: 39:09

Three aspects slash dimensions of semantics. Number one dimension of linguistic units. This dimension focuses on the levels or units of language that carry meaning. Meaning arises at various linguistic levels, from the smallest units to the largest structures. Why it matters Understanding meaning requires looking at how different units contribute individually and collectively. Dimension of form meaning this dimension studies the relationship between linguistic expressions and how their meanings are conveyed. Form, sound spelling, syntax and meaning are closely linked but distinct. Why it matters? Comprehendance semantics involves analyzing how specific forms express specific meanings and how changes in form, eg tense, voice affect meaning. Dimension of space-time this dimension deals with how meaning relates to context, particularly in terms of space, location and time. Temporal reference Meaning can vary depending on when and where something is said, as well as who is speaking. Why it matters Meaning is often context dependent. Understanding semantics requires considering these spatial, the spatial and temporal factors. Spatial and temporal factors the elements of the three dimensions of semantics. So the dimension of linguistic units. Phonemes the elements of the dimension of linguistic units. Phonemes the elements of the dimension of linguistic units.

Speaker 2: 40:48

Phonemes, morphemes and syntagma. Phonemes are the minimum units Of distinctive sound features. Phonology Example C-H-S-H-P-H, d-j-e-j, z-e-j, a-e, the sound A and the F. Morphemes are the minimal Meaningful units. Lexicology Example Substantive equals prefix, sub-root-base word stay-in. The suffix-ive Syntagma refers to a sequence of linguistic elements, eg words or morphemes, which are combined according to the rules of syntax To form larger units of meaning.

Speaker 2: 41:52

Example correct Equals the more is wearing a fez. Incorrect Fez a the wearing is more. That's what we're dealing with the order of the words, the ranging of the words, dimension, dimension of form meaning. The elements of dimension of form meaning. You have lexical morphology, lexical semantics, syntactic morphology and syntactic semantics. Lexical morphology is the study of how words are formed in a language using morphemes. Example morphemes in the word subjugate igum i-u-g-U-M Is the root word, sub is the prefix and ate-A-T-E Is the suffix. Lexical Semantics Is the study of how and why one word Acquires different meanings and how those meanings will be the same Synonym, opposite Synonymy, opposite. Dang, pardon me, will be the same the same synonymy, opposite Antonymy, antonymy, polysemy, polysemy, etc. Example synonymy personal, private meaning the same Antonymy. Antonyms the opposite free and subjugated Polysemy. The word head can refer to a body part, a position in an organization or the top of an object.

Speaker 1: 43:56

What's that? I'm calling you black. Oh my god, now I see. I see what you guys. I can barely hear you. Mike, I said calling the semantics, the definitions, the context of the words, so basically calling you black. I see why it's like a misnomer, like don't call me, it's not the same because it doesn't tie to any cultural identity, nationality, kingdom, clan, tribe, empire.

Speaker 3: 44:33

It doesn't identify a pedigree, genealogy, consecuity, ancestry, lineage, parentage, lineage, parentage, national origin, descent, national flag, national coat of arms, a body of land, a nation state. So I just want to be very clear, for that that doesn't identify. All right, yes, so what? I just wanted to be very, I wanted to be comprehensive in that. Why history record? They can't show you primary sources, treaties, war records, amity records, shipping logs where there was a name of a kingdom, tribe, empire, a merit, a caliphate, with B-L-A-C-K, with the primary sources treaties, diplomatic correspondence, letters from between kingdoms and actual primary sources. So when it's the naysayers, I'm just saying we got to the naysayers. Bring the evidence, bring evidence, bring documentary evidence.

Speaker 2: 46:10

Yeah where they basing their nays in right, yeah, the nays.

Speaker 3: 46:14

Where they basing their nays in?

Speaker 1: 46:18

I love how he's breaking it down, cause now I'm understanding it more. Cause, you know, for years we've been hearing about the mores, mores, mores, right, and they just say don't call me black nationality. But now this right here is putting in proper perspective why not to call me black? It's, this isn't a language you're removing it's. You're doing a genocide, cultural genocide, to me. Legally, you're removing my sovereignty of self, of my identity, and you're subjugating me to a I don't want to say citizen, but you're subjugating me to less than a human, basically. So I got it. You're stripping me of everything, and don't mean they did it to all.

Speaker 2: 46:54

They're doing it to us all, yeah.

Speaker 1: 46:56

Yeah.

Speaker 3: 46:57

Now what you want to say, mike, I know you're saying all right, now, nationality is a collective identity, that's a collective identity. So when you're speaking if you were, you know, if you were to speak to someone, if you were speaking to a uh, a englishman or irish or scottish, you know you would want to say my people, my people. You don't. You say me. It's not because you're talking about those, you're talking about a nation of people. Because when you say me, if you're talking to a coworker, family member, whoever, and you personalize it by saying me, right, that gives them a misconception. All right that you want to place it. You want to convey the proper understanding. That is a collective identity. Nationality equals collective national identity, not individual. Got you All right? That's why, yes, so there's no me or I, it's. You know my people.

Speaker 1: 48:12

Got you.

Speaker 3: 48:13

You know, Got you. All right.

Speaker 2: 48:18

So, yes, so we got a syntactic morphology. But syntactic morphology is the study of how words or their meaningful units, morphemes, interact with syntax sentence structure, especially how grammatical elements like tense, case or agreement are expressed through morphology. Example she walks versus they walk, he gave her a book versus he gave the girl a book, the child is crying versus the children are crying, and she sang versus she sings. Syntactic semantics is the study of how sentence structure influences the meaning of words, even when using the same words. Example the dog bit the man versus the man bit the dog. Only Zara studied with a mirror versus Zara only studied with the mirror. Flying planes can be dangerous and flying planes can be dangerous, so that's the same. He saw the man with the telescope and he saw the man with the telescope and he saw the man with the telescope. So the flying planes can be dangerous, meaning the one actually piloting the plane flying can be dangerous and also saying just planes in the air flying themselves can be dangerous. And then he saw the man with the telescope. He can see the man. The man that he's looking at could have his own telescope. He saw the man with a telescope. He can see the man, the man that he's looking at could have his own telescope. He saw the man with the telescope, or he could be looking at the man through his telescope and he saw the man with the telescope. So that's the syntactic semantics Dimension of space-time. Synchronic slash.

Speaker 2: 50:03

Descriptive semantics is the study that analyzes the structure and usage of a language as it exists at a particular time, focusing on aspects such as grammar, pronunciation and meaning, without considering historical changes such as sound shifts. This usually deals with the present Example showing how the word more can mean either a people, nationality or a type of land, natural landscape. The difference depends on context, not spelling. Diachronic slash. Historical semantics is the study that analyzes the historical structure and usage of a language and how it changes through time, with consideration of its historical shifts and origins. Example showing how the word more referred to all dark skinned Swahili people as used from the 8th century to the early 19th century, but now only refers to the-skinned Muslims of medieval Iberia.

Speaker 2: 51:17

Semantic changes Different elements and processes of semantic change. Narrowing Narrowing is when a word's meaning becomes more specific or restricted through time. Example the word America originally referred to the Coppertone Aboriginal and Indigenous people of North, central and South America, but its use has been restricted to refer to only the citizens of the United States of America. Broadening is when a word's meaning expands to encompass a wider range of reference or concepts than before. Example the word negro and black were used as descriptive words, adjectives to describe inanimate objects, but its usage broadened into a noun sense and now refers to the subjugated moors, who are classified as negr and blacks in the United States Census Bureau Pejoration.

Speaker 2: 52:12

Pejoration is when a word's meaning shifts to become more negative or unfavorable through time. Example the original meaning of the word sin is full moon in ancient Sumerian and Akkadian. Of the word sin is full moon in ancient Sumerian and Akkadian. And the pejorative meaning of the word sin is moral evil in modern English. Amelioration is when a word's meaning shifts to become more positive or favorable through time. Example the word knight K-N-I-G-H-T through time. Example the word knight K-N-I-G-H-T. The word knight was used in reference to a servant, but is now used in reference to a heroic warrior.

Speaker 2: 52:59

Reappropriation is when a group takes back a term that was once used in a negative way and uses it positively or with pride.

Speaker 2: 53:02

Example the word black is used to strip the moors of their identity, ie to dehumanize, denationalize and subjugate, but has been reappropriated by the people classified as Negro, black and colored in the United States Census Bureau. Reclamation is a word that was previously used to reduce the ranking or status of a people. Dehumanization is a word that was previously used to reduce the ranking or status of a people and is reappropriated and used by such people in a positive way. Example the word black, when referring to people, was slash, is used to subjugate, denationalize and dehumanize the Moors. But today the Moors, while in a subjugated status, have been systematically conditioned to reclaim the word Black to mean strong and beautiful. Substitution is the process of replacing a word or phrase with another word or phrase without changing the overall meaning of the sentence, as long as both expressions refer to the same entity or idea. Example number one today the moors are under subjugation of the united states. Number two the people classified as black in the united states census bureau are under subjugation of the United States.

Speaker 1: 54:27

Wow, oh my.

Speaker 2: 54:28

God.

Speaker 1: 54:29

You guys got to come back and do another part, man, because not only like I'm sitting here, I'm just like going through it, like I'm piecing things together, I'm like the power of language. It's like again, because we're so accustomed to hearing the brutality of slavery, the brainwashing, the conditioning and such, but they don't understand through language and the misuse of words and lack of education, where they got you at as well.

Speaker 1: 54:54

And the law, ignorance of the law. So I see what you're doing with this. You're reconstructing that so we can understand language law better. You know how to navigate within this jungle out here. So I got you man.

Speaker 2: 55:10

When it comes to law and civics. You got to read.

Speaker 3: 55:14

And Mike, this jungle is our subjugation, under the United States, all right, so that's identified the jungle. We, under the United States, all right, so that's so. That's identified the jungle. We have the United States. United States acquired territorial sovereignty from conquering powers France, spain and Great Britain so that's England, all right, through treaties. Do that? Do those treaties? United States acquired territorial sovereignty over our lands. United States continued the subjugation started by France and Spain and Portugal, continued our racial, of our cultural identity, nationality and our subjugation. United States forced us into their legal framework, which is, and our subjugation. The United States forced us into their legal framework, which is the act of subjugation, and placed us into a new citizen category. That's the jungle. That's the jungle of conquest, colonization France and Spanish, spanish and French and Portuguese, english, dutch conquest, subjugation, colonization that is now being maintained by the United States. That has been maintained by the United States over 200 years. That's the jungle. I want to identify with specificity the jungle of which you allude.

Speaker 1: 56:38

I got you my brothers. I appreciate you, ishmael. I appreciate you, abdullah, for coming out. You guys got to come back. I appreciate you, ishmael. I appreciate you, abdullah, for coming out. You guys got to come back. I'm looking for that book and I'm definitely going to look into both of the work you guys do like books and such, because this right here got me like my mind is like what happened to me just now, but it's beautiful though, and I see it's very informative and uplifting.

Speaker 1: 57:02

I appreciate you guys for coming out. I got to get ready to jump on the second show.

Speaker 3: 57:06

Second show yeah, we're aware, all right, peace, peace everyone.

Speaker 1: 57:11

Peace Until two weeks from now. Peace, all right. Definitely I'm going to be there for that one All right All right what.

Speaker 3: 57:23

Thank you.
