Iberian Rommany Glossary

Welcome to this unique, grounbreaking piece of research connected with the scientific study of language, i.e., linguistics!

Expansion of Prehistoric Europeans (Hamel E, Vennemann T, Foster P (2002) Scientific American, German, Italian, French, and Spanish editions). The Iberian peninsula (Spain and Portugal) owns its name to the Ebro river, which rises in Cantabria, the northern territory of the Iberian peninsula, and flows 930 kilometres into the Mediterranean Sea, almost enterely in a east-southest direction. The northern territory of the Iberian peninsula is considered the cradle of rational mankind by some educated scholars (Ribero-Meneses Jorge Mª). Cantabria has archeological sites from the Upper Paleolithic period, although the first signs of human occupation date from the Lower Paleolithic. The most significant site for cave paintings is in the cave of Altamira dating from about 37.000 BCE, and declared along with nine other Cantabrian caves as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. It’s worth noting that the adjective Cantabrigian, relating to Cambridge, or to Cambridge University derives from Cantabria! In Iberian Rommanyo Can’ is the sun’!

We align ourselves with the postulate that ancient Iberian Rommany could have probably been the rational mankind’s first language.

Therefore, several Iberian Rommany primary etyma would be remaining relics of the rational mankind’s first language.

Several Iberian Rommany primary etyma, e.g. chanisperó ‘spirit’, anaraniá ‘Amen; so be it/certain’, bichola ‘likeness’, presimelo ‘beginning’,… are of paramount linguistic importance because each one of them is that higher synthesis of unity and multiplicity itself, through which One is in All and All is in One. This impressive unique quality of theirs provides evidence/information that would support the statement that they would be remaninig relics of the rational mankind’s first language.

Basic glossary of Iberian Rommany terms, with helpful comments on them:

  • A
    • anaraniá/anariana ‘Amen; so be it, certain’.
      • very important etymon from which analogy and energy arise, that is, the analogy¦energy unity (Æi) of entities and species. From it ariise and derive important nouns, such as Maria, Ann, German Arznei ‘analogy¦energy unit’,…, Sanskrit nara ‘man’, Quechua runa ‘man’,… It also gives rise to verbs of motion such as Catalan anar or Spanish ir ‘to go’.
    • azimache ‘sign’
  • B
    • bedar/bedelar ‘to teach’
    • bichola ‘likeness, similitude’
    • bucaintú ‘captain’
  • C
    • caló ‘a Gypsy, a black’
    • can ‘sun’ , o can ‘the sun’
      • many topographic names carry the root can-, as such (Cantabria, Cannes, Canterbury, Cambridge, Canary Islands, Canaan, Canada, Arkansas, Kansas, Michoacán, Cancun, Camerun, Canton [Guangzhou], Camberra,…), or dissimilated as ken. kin, kon: Kensington, Kent, Kentucky, Kenya, Congo, Kinshasa, Hong-Kong,…
    • chachipen ‘truth’, literally ‘true tongue’.
    • chanelar ‘to know’
    • chanisperó ‘spirit’
    • chistelar ‘to begin’
    • chocoronó ‘a remedy’ [> Greek akos, panakos ‘panacea’; succour, SOS]
  • D
    • debel ‘God’
