Talk:Subartu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I believe the taboo that was imposed on Kurdistan, culture, language for long time has contibuted to the creation of many mystries in mesopotamia and anatolia when it comes to ancient people, languages and their legacy.Perhaps, it is time for scholars and specialists to take advantage of the security, stability and freedom exist in Iraqi Kurdistan to explore these issues including archeological sites that dat back to thousands of years.Among these issues that need to be explored, the relation of Sumerian to Kurds' ancestors, since they are believed to have originally decended from mountains.A huge Kurdish tribe is still carrying the name Zebari, or t-subari in Iraqi Kurdistan. maybe it deserves some background checking by specialists. When you read some ancient anatolian vocabularies it is not hard to find out the almost exact word in modern Kurdish such as: da -give -da in Kurdish, daru-tree- dar, diu-god-diew,genu-knee-ejnu,gwana-woman-kabani or kavani,hasta-bone-hasti,kes-person-kes, khwen-kill-khewn means blood,krodi or kerd-heart-cerg,lohai-to pour-lihi means flood,phargui or parkui-clean-pak,phrokhu or bherg-high-berz,ser- top-ser,sta-stand-westa, these are only some words. I am sure a specialists will find better common ground between Kurdish and ancient anatolian languages such as Hittie and Luwian if compared to older Kurdish texts. Eamad J. Mazouri
