Just a little
phrase in English: " He is a man, he is !"
This little phrase we will now represent in a combination of three different languages .
The first and fourth word, "he", we will translate into Latin, the central word "man" into
Hebrew, the other two will remain in English.
So what do we see ?
LATIN | ENGLISH | HEBREW | LATIN | ENGLISH |
| | | | |
I S | I S | I S H , | I S | I S ! |
He | is | a Man , | he | is ! |
This second little phrase of a few words shows us how near to each other are the three languages
we have used here.
One and the same root , "Y S", the same origin in three groups of languages, gives :
IS | English | the verbal form (of "to be"), | used for a man |
IS | Latin | the pronoun ( he ), | used for a man |
ISH | Hebrew | the noun ( a man ), | used for a man |
This is one more example of the kinship between European and Semitic languages. In the realm of pronouns the next figure shows more of this.
