Some years ago, I started compiling all the ancient inscriptions from Minorca to publish a corpus with archaeologist Joan C de Nicolás. I couldn’t imagine the surprises it would bring me. In the top, the Paleo-Amazigh personal names we published with Carles Múrcia:

Si França no pot fer-se càrrec del seu patrimoni arqueològic i artístic, un país més civilitzat hauria de preservar-lo perquè pugui arribar en condicions a les properes generacions. No és açò el que deien i diuen els espoliadors francesos, alemanys, britànics, etc.?

A 3,300 year-old Egyptian-Akkadian vocabulary from Amarna, with Egyptian words written in cuneiform

ši-na-aḫ=šnꜥ (unit of weight)
ši-na-aḫ-wu₄=šnꜥwj (dual of šnꜥ)
ḫa-am-tu₄ šu-nu-uḫ=ḫmtw šnꜥw (three šnꜥ)
…
na-ab-na-su=nꜣ bnšw (the doorposts)
DU-as-bu=tꜣ jsbt (the chair)
pa-ḫa-tu₄=pꜣ ḥꜥtj (the bed)
Copy of tablet fragment EA 368, with several lines of cuneiform script on both sides. Egyptian words are transliterated into cuneiform syllables, followed by a translation into Akkadian, which has been lost in many lines.

I’m constantly amazed by how much the Brill crew just doesn’t give a single solitary fuck about cover art. "Aramait", seriously?
bnuyaminim.bsky.social Benjamin Suchard @bnuyaminim.bsky.social · 26d
In awe at the size of this lad.
A tome of about 850 pages, Stefan Bruweleit's "The Verbal Systems of Aramaic", lies on a table. The cover is in Brill's HdO series's signature style, with green and white elements on a black background, as well as "in Aramaic" in the middle of the cover in yellow Estrangela Syriac script.

El mestre Joan Mesquida encara emprava el mètode de Baldiri Reixac (Girona, 1749) a Ciutadella de Menorca l’any 1831! I amb l’afegitó d’unes quartilles de lectoescriptura precioses.

Tl;dr: fascists are losers who demand to be taken seriously and they view sciences as a source of legitimacy, so they like to dress their BS ideas up to look sciencey and that's why when you look at fascism you will find pseudoscience.

Been reading about Elamite a bit more due to the UChicago debacle, and the wikipedia article (citing Ávarez-Mon et al 2018) says "The Acts of the Apostles (c. 80–90 AD) mentions the language as if it was still current. There are no later direct references". Elamite experts please weigh in, because..
Passage from page 6 of Gottheil's 1887 edition of Elias of Nisibis' Syriac grammar. 4 lines are highlighted yellow. They translate: "But the Hebrews, Syrians, Persians, Kushites, Elamites, Medes, Phoenecians, Alans, and Arabs, as well as other unknown to us, do not have enough letters to express the sounds that they write in their languages"

Don’t know who made this but thank you
Baudrillard’s 4 stages of simulacra applied to pumpkin spice Stage one (next to picture of pumpkin): Initially the sign (image or representation) is a reflection of basic reality Stage two (next to picture of pumpkin pie): the sign masks a basic reality. The image becomes a distortion of reality Stage three (next to Starbucks pumpkin spice latte): the sign marks the absence of basic reality. The image calls into question what the reality is and if it even exists Stage four (next to jug of pumpkin spice flavored coffee mate): the sign bears no relation to any reality whatsoever; it is it’s own pure simulacrum

What is the Jews' problem (ideologically speaking, according to Biale)? "The very rapidity with which the Jews have moved from powerlessness to power has produced a crisis of Jewish ideology"
namely: our political theories are all still responding to an ahistorical self-image of impotence.
The very rapidity with which the Jews have moved from powerlessness to power has produced a crisis of Jewish ide- ology. The ways in which Jews conceive of politics were developed in Eastern Europe at the turn of the century; the great ideologies of Zionism, Bundism, socialism, and liberal- ism were all responses to the increasing impotence of the Jews of Europe, an impotence that culminated in the Holo- caust. Although some of these ideologies no longer exist and others have changed drastically, they remain the vocabulary of Jewish politics. Today, these forms of discourse appear increasingly irrelevant in the light of the achievement of Jewish sovereignty in Israel and the relative political power of the Jewish Diaspora in the West, especially in the United States. In both Israel and the Diaspora, a new political lan- guage is only beginning to emerge, a language for under- standing both the possibilities and the limitations of Jewish political power in the modern world.

Necessit ajuda. I need some help.
Escriptura àrab molt esquemàtica? Schematic Arabic script?
Si és així, només podria ser del s. X al XIII. If so, must be 10th–13th c.
L'hauria de catalogar? Should I catalogue it?

6. I’ve always suspected a certain urge to make Phrygian look as orientalised as possible.

4. Phrygian is the closest relative to Greek and I think the shared triple-reflex of PIE laryngeals is probably the best evidence of that. Go read @cursach.bsky.social's book on Phrygian to learn more.

Unless you seek it out, most professors don't learn how to teach. It's not part of the job requirements. The idea is that you're an expert in your field and that's Enough.
