Topic: Old South Arabian

  
 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Arabia
Arabia is the cradle of Islam and, in all probability, the primitive home of the Semitic race.
The term Arab itself, as the name of a particular country and nation, is found only in later Old Testament writings, i.e.
In the Acts of the Apostles (ii, 11) we even read of the presence of Arabians on the day of Pentecost, and Arabs were quite numerous in the Parthian Empire and around Edessa.

 Aksum - Chs. 4-5. by Dr. Stuart Munro-Hay.
Until relatively recently South Arabian artefacts found in Ethiopia were interpreted as the material signs left behind by a superior colonial occupation force, with political supremacy over the indigenes — an interpretation still maintained by Michels (1988).
More South Arabian inscriptions, recently brought to notice by Christian Robin, (whose dating of the South Arabian eras, and general historical scheme (1981) we have followed here) come from the Yemeni site of al-Mis`al.
Muslim states arose in the Dahlak islands and on the coasts, and in later times became a grave danger to the Christian state.

 Aksum - Chs. 11-16. by Dr. Stuart Munro-Hay.
In the sixth century Arabian war, the historian Procopius says that the Ethiopian army sent by Kaleb to the Yemen to punish the usurper Abreha and his supporters for the deposition of Sumyafa` Ashwa` consisted of three thousand men; a figure the more convincing for its relative modesty.
The `monotheistic' inscription; there have been many speculations about the form of the dedication of this inscription, some authors attributing it to a monotheism not specifically Christian.
The Periplus (Huntingford 1980: 20) notes that ships anchored cautiously at the island of Oreine since, in the past, the anchorage which was to become Adulis' harbour, Gabaza, had proved dangerous because of raids from the local people.

 Yemen Old Splendour Tours
It is bounded on the north by Saudi Arabia and bounded on the south by the Arab sea and Aden Gulf, to the east lies omen and to the west is the red sea.
Yemen has many islands along its coasts on the red sea and Arab sea.
Other said Yemen was named so because it lies to the right of Alqaba, Arabs feel optimistic because the right side is a sign of good omen, some of the Yemeni people still use the word, Alsham to mean the left side, and the word, Yemen' to mean the south.

 Humanity as the Image of God
The meaning of the image cannot be satisfactorily deduced from the Old Testament, because Old Testament in general was strongly opposed to the use of images and no rationale for images can be found in its pages.
In addition to the numerous anthropomorphisms, whose theological signiÞcance is not entirely unambiguous, the Old Testament provides us with some more direct statements concerning Yahweh's 'form'.
The king has been created by the god to be his image.

Then the hunter begins to shout with a loud voice: “The Old Man has been killed”.
Werner Daum, a German expert on South Arabian language and popular South Arabic religion, has found this out, as we have just seen in the file “Ancient Arabia and its Religion”, Volume 1: South Arabia’s religion is pre-Islamic.
And Islam also forbids it, to make such images.

Yet despite the triumph of Islam, Jews continued to exist in the Arabian peninsula for a long time.
Muhammad and his followers also inherited the local name for Yathrib, "Al-Medina." And in 629 they moved against another Jewish population, that of the oasis of Khaybar north of Medina, and expelled it from its homes, too.
It is a non-Arabic word that, while occurring in both Aramaic and Hebrew (accented on the middle syllable in the former and on the last syllable in the latter), almost certainly derives in this case from Aramaic.

Very often one finds the form of an oath ‘by the Ançab’ or ‘by the blood, that is flowing over the Ançab’.
This name has been unlawfully given to the false Babylonian Messiah, to Dumu-zid (Tammuz).

Finally, one should be virtually able to translate antediluvian texts, that is to say texts from Atlantis.
More, you should know that Hebrew (and Arabian) roots are mostly 3-consonant-letters roots: with 22 or 28 original letters (6 letters seem to have been forgotten in Hebrew, but remain in Arabic or Greek alphabets), you can obtain 28*28*28 = 21952 roots: that is enough for describing subtle variations of life.

 Alumqa'a Yeha - Ethiopia: Travels of a Youth
The Christians just took some stones from the back wall to create an opening formed like a cross.
Later excavation and archeological speculation now is conjecturing that this may not be a temple but rather a mausoleum similar to a smaller one in the South Arabian motherland.
The temple sitting on this hill was dedicated to the moon god, Alumqa.

 Proto-Semitic Language and Culture. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. 2000
Central Semitic is further subdivided into the South Arabian inscriptional languages; classical, medieval, and modern forms of Arabic; and the Northwest Semitic languages, which include Hebrew and Aramaic.
The earliest branching, which includes most of the known Semitic languages, is called West Semitic; the part that remained after this branching, East Semitic, essentially includes only Akkadian.
West Semitic comprises three branches: the modern South Arabian languages; the ancient and modern languages of Ethiopia; and Central Semitic.

In one of them Punic comes under West Semetic somewhere between North and South Arabian and Ugaritic under Canaanite which is also called NorthCentral.
Phoenician page proposed "Phoenician was one of the northwestern Semitic languages, those languages that include Amorite and Ugaritic, in addition to the Canaanite languages that include Phoenician, Hebrew and Aramaic." As you can see he seperates Amorite from Canaanite and replaces it with Punic.
Thankyou for that Ben, including the above there are now four different classifications I know of.

 Out of the Dust - FARMS JBMS
Alma 16:5 says that Zoram, the chief captain over the armies of the Nephites at that time, “had two sons, Lehi and Aha.” Formerly the personal name Aha had not been known from the Bible or other Hebrew-language sources, but this new information documents that the name was in use long before Lehi’s day.
Moreover, there is good reason to believe that “the place which was called Nahom” (1 Nephi 16:34) lay within the population which wrote and spoke a dialect of Old South Arabian.
Those scripts, preserved first in personal names and spells, date from the seventh century B.C. Old South Arabian is particularly interesting because it was spoken and written not many hundred miles from the area where Lehi and his party reached the Indian Ocean and built their vessel to sail off to America.

The Qatabanian inscriptions from the Aylward collection were studied by Professor Alfred Beeston within a few months of his death, and the results published in the paper mentioned above, a copy of which is available on request.
He also contributed the comprehensive entry on Qataban in The Encyclopaedia of Islam.
The excavation of Qataban began in 1950 under the auspices of the American Foundation for the Study of Man. Efforts were concentrated on the walled city of Timnao and its burial ground at H*eid bin oAqîl where the present examples were discovered.

Architectural inscriptions, inserted in façades were often done using a negative engraving method, that is, the spaces were cut out so that the letters projected.
South Arabia adopted in the first half of the 1st millennium B. the semitic alphabet that had originated about 1000 B. in Syrias coastal regions.
In South Arabia it assumed a beautifully geometric form, especially well suited to stone inscription.

 AllRefer.com - Ethiopic (Language And Linguistics) - Encyclopedia
Because Ethiopic is close to Old South Arabian lexically and grammatically, it has been suggested that its speakers originally came from S Arabia, whence they apparently began to migrate to Ethiopia in the first millennium
Although the script used for Ethiopic and other Semitic tongues of Ethiopia is syllabic rather than alphabetic, it seems to be derived from the alphabetic South Semitic writing of the Old South Arabian inscriptions, to which it shows many similarities.
Ethiopic (also called Geez or classical Ethiopic) ceased to be a spoken tongue in Ethiopia some time before the 14th cent.

Situated some 400 km South of the Arabian Peninsula lies the Socotra Archipelago under the administration of the Aden Governorate of the Republic of Yemen.
Located at the eastern end of the group it is more than 130km long from east to west, and 40km from north to south, with a spine of spectacular 1,500m mountains along its length.
