I disclose a surprising source linked to my discovery of Sotho-Tswana as unearthing not only Sumerian, Akkadian as detailed in my book The Lord's Secret Timetable, free chapters of which is available at my Linkedin page, but elements of the "mythical" Babel language Therein I properly retranslate the famous Enuma Elish epic. "Kala" in Sotho-Tswana is "branch", and relates to se-kala ("branch-like in Sotho-Tswana, thus a [measuring]scale, a branch-like instrument). "Fate" is "tree" in Sotho but literally meaning "that which digs into the ground", and relates etymologically to haaatse/faatshe meaning "on the ground below"--thus "hades" in Greek. The full name is thus "branches of a tree". In the Tswana sister language "tree" is "thare" (tah-ree) which pronounces somewhat "tree". I have dozens and dozens of other Greek words unravelled by Sotho-Tswana in my yet-unpublished Dictionary of Protolanguage Terms. Hope you take this seriously!
