Look, are you saying the name “Barack” means “bless” or “lightning”? Those are two different words, with different final consonants. If you say “bless,” then you are right, and that is exactly what I have been saying all along. If you say “lightning,” then you are wrong.
I don’t know about the other guy, I was just busting your hump.
Once again you commented, albeit to another poster...Whether in Hebrew or in Arabic--both Semitic languages--the root "B-R-K" means "to bless."
Once again at 28 I gave information showing that you were using the word wrongly and pointed out that your "root" argument was wrong..."which is where your word comes from."
I gave the phonetics, a counter argument disproving your assertion and then you started going off into a land unknown pushing your root argument all the way.
Then you asked...Are you saying that the name "Barack" is from the Semitic root "B-R-K," which means "bless" (and "kneel")? which wasn't what I was saying at all. Please note that I've never said what "the name" Barack means in any way whatsoever. I've only given well established definitions for words.
And then things gets interesting as you further state...If you are saying that the name "Barack" means "lightning," then you are mistaken, since that is a different word from a different root, "B-R-Q."
I've only given the meanings of certain words and countered you as to what the words mean and from where they come. You did something quite deceptive in that reply in that you've mixed replies in an effort to confuse. You went back to reply 8 where I linked two other words, not the word in contention, and have tried to paint me as ignorant. It isn't working, especially as I've now called you on it and anyone going back over this conversation can easily see what you've attempted to do.
