Instead of saying በለስ/ fig tree; ፍሬ በለስ/ fig fruit; በኵረ በለስ/ first fruits of figs; it says ዐጽቀ በለስ/ fig seed; በለሰ ማእረር/ bitter fig; it is a mistake: (ኤር፳፬: ፪). Again, it says በለስ/ figs instead of ስግላ/ Segla; see ሰግላ/ Segla. “ዕፀ በለስ።” Fig tree. “ተቃራሜ በለስ ሾላ” Competing fig trees, figs: (፪ዜና: ፱: ፳፯። ዓሞ፯: ፲፬).

፡ (ሥላሴ ቅኔ) “በለሰ ገነት ለአዳም ወሔዋን መቲሮተቶሙ መንክረ ልደት አምላከ መንገሌሆሙ ሰሐበ፤ ወገብርኤልሀ ዜናዌ ቀጸበ።” The fig tree of paradise for Adam and Eve, their covering, the miracle of birth, God drew their paths; and Gabriel seized the news. “እንተ ከመ ዝሰ ግብር እምከመ ለአዳም ተውህበ ፥ ወረከበት ሔዋን ዘኢተረክበ ፥ ካዕበ ይስሐብ ኀቤሆሙ አበ ፥ ለበለስ ይምትርዎ ካዕበ።” What was given to Adam was done like this, and Eve found what was not found, the Father draws to them again, they exchange the fig tree again.

በለዝ/ Belez: (ጽር ቦሎዝ። ዕብ ቦዐዝ) the name of a pillar; one of the two pillars that Solomon erected at the entrance of his temple, in his porch of peace, the left pillar on the north side. “ቦ ዕዘዝ ፥ ሎ ዕዘዝ ፥ ኀይሉ ወጽንዑ ዕዘዙ ለመቅደስ” Bo Ezez, Lo Ezez, means the strength and firmness of the temple; but the bilinguals call it ርትዕ/ righteousness: (፫ነገ: ፯ ፳፩).

It says ብልኅት/ Bilihit instead of በላኅ/ Bebelah; it does not sound right. An adjective that resembles its kind, short, long; large, black; wise, doctor; narrow, hungry; subtle, thin; all such have one way; except for many, one woman has no place. And since the adjective is ቱሲሕ/ Tusih inside ዘ/ Ze which has a third and sixth/ ሳድስ, ኀ”ጻሪ ነዋኂ ገዛፊ ጸላሚ ጠባቢ ረቃቂ፤ ወይም ንዉኅ ጥቡብ ርቁቅ ቅጡ” Hatsari Newahi Gezafi Tselami Tebabi Reqaqi; or Newuh Tubub Requq Qitun does not sound right.

It appears in past and prophetic contexts; “በዘወድአ ሞት ኵሎ” Bezewedea mot kullu. “በዘቀነዮሙ ሞት” Bezeqeneyomu mot; death finished everything with money; with their own money. “ወትሜህር በዘታስሕቶሙ” Wetemihir bezetasihitommu; with the money you taught them. “ገብሩ በዘያምዕዑኒ” Gebru bezeyamiuni; with the money they saddened me. When its used in secret, and not as like or about, it has no proof. በርሥኣኑ/ Berseanu; instead of saying እንዘ አልቦ/ enze albo, it says በዘረሥአ በዘአልቦ/ bezerese bezealbo; its a scribes error (ዘፍ፳፬: ፴፮። ፵: ፲፭).

[2]: (በ ዘ) Be remains standing; ze is an adjective and sufficient; or it becomes a relative pronoun. “ለምንት ትትናገር በዘይሰምዑ ሕዝብ” Lemint titnager bezeyesemu hizb; in the language that the people hear. “በዘርእየ ወበዘሰምዐ ሰማዕተ ይከውን።” Bezereye wabezeseme semate yekewun. In what he saw and heard; like the former, it implies money for what he saw and heard; its secret is as much as he saw and heard; because he saw and heard; what he saw and heard; having seen and heard; all these show the interpretation of በ/ be. “በዘአዶኒራም ዕፅ ወበዘአቤሴሎም እብን” Bezadoniram its wabezabeselom ibn; Adonirams wood, Absaloms stone; standing and relative. Sometimes, when ዘ/ ze is an adjective, በ/ be remains as an intensifier. “ነሥአ ሰይፈ በዘይቀትል።” Nesea seyfe bezeyiqet. Garment በዘያስተባሪ/ bezeyastebari; reason በዘያስተዋርድ/ bezeyastewared. See በ/ be and ዘ/ ze (ዕር፲፱: ቍ፸፬).

በዚኅ ኆት/ Bezihe hot: (በዝኀ ይበዝኅ ይብዛኅ) to increase; to multiply; to breed; to be heavy; to overflow; to strengthen (ዘፍ፯: ፳፪: ፳፰። ፰: ፲፯። ዘፀ፩: ፯). “ደንዐ ማይ ወበዝኀ።” The water was dammed and increased. “በዝኀ ድምፀ ሁከት” The sound of tumult increased (ዘፍ፯: ፲፰: ፲፱። ፩ነገ: ፲፬: ፲፱).

በዚዝ ዞት/ Beziz zot: (በዘ ይበዝዝ ይብዝዝ። ዐረ ዕብ ባዛዝ) to scatter; to spread rumors.

በዝቶ ቶት/ Bezto tot: (በዘተ ይቤዝት ይበዝት) to multiply; to separate, to loosen; to gather work; to loosen. “እንዘ ትቤዝት ፀምረ” While she loosens the wool (ምሳ፳፱: ፴፩).

በዪል ሎት/ Beyil lot: (ቤለ ይበይል ይቢል፤ ወይም ቤለ ይቤ ይበል። ዐረ ቃል። ዕብ ንኡም፤ አማር) means; to say, to speak; to give a fruitful word, to agree; to read with the mouth, in a book; to read. ብሂል (bihil) has two aspects: clause and construction. In its clausal aspect, it attracts a clause, it interprets a noun. In its constructional aspect, it omits the connector; observe its construction in the construction. ብሂለ ይብሉ (bihile yibelu) they say a saying. እስመ ጼዴቅ ብሂል ጽድቅ ብሂል for a righteous saying is a saying of righteousness. ብህለ ካልአ (bihile kala) another saying; በከመ ብህልከ according to your saying. ዘብህልዎ አበዊነ which our fathers said. ከዊነ ውላጤ ዘብህሎ ቅዱስ አባ ወግሪስ the true birth which Saint Abba Wagris said. እሳት እንተ ብህላ እግዚእነ the fire which our Lord said. መሐለነ እይ (mehaleneyi) is its twin. Since the conjugation of ብህለ (bihile) and ክህለ (kihile) is the same, the h is sometimes missing in the second form but present in the third; however, in constructions, they distinguish ብህለ (bihile) from ክህለ (kihile) and say ይብህል (yibihil), which is not fitting. Secondly, in the conjugation of በዪል (beyil), instead of saying ቤለ ይበይል ይቢል or ቤለ ይቤ ይበል, like ሐባብ (habab) and old Geez, they confuse ብህለ (bihile) and ቤለ (bele), remove ቤለ (bele), and in its place insert ይቤ (yibe), giving the second form of ብህለ (bihile), ይብል (yibil), to ይቤ (yibe), thus incorrectly conjugating ይቤ (yibe) as ይቤ ይብል ይበል. Because of this, books use ይቤ ይብል ይበል (yibe yibil yibel) instead of ቤለ (bele) they do not use ብህለ (bihile) and ይብህል (yibihil) in the conjugation of ብሂል (bihil). Just as ሀሎ (halo) and የሀለወ (yehalewe) are twin parts, so too ይቤ (yibe), which comes from በዪል (beyil) and is the second form of ቤለ (bele), the double or twin prophetic clause of ይበይል (yibeyil) teachers, not knowing its prophetic nature, consider it a standing clause without a subject, root, or adjective, while some make it the first clause, considering it a double of ብህለ (bihile). Its being guttural in the fifth form is because of the e in the middle. Secondly, those who say ለን (len) are the impure of l; when they conjugate ብህለ (bihile), they say ብህየ ይብይ ይበይ, so we can say it entered through impure speech. Just as they say ይብል (yibil) as ይብይ (yibey), they might have said ይብይ (yibey) as ይቤ (yibe) otherwise, it would not have been found when gutturalized in the fifth form. Changing through impure speech is a habit of verbs; just as the impure of r, those who say ረን (ren) for r, made ሐለለ (halele) the second clause instead of ሐረረ (harere). In Amharic too, ለን (len) inherits it, especially in the third form: ቀታሊ (qetali), ከሃሊ (kehali), ሐባሊ (habali), ጠንቋሊ (tenqwali) killer, powerful, liar, sorcerer, and all similar forms. Its cutting off (of the n) is only for the distant masculine and feminine singular, the near masculine singular, and for I, we these five only. This is ቤለ ይቤ ይበል. ቤለት ትቤ ትበል. ቤልከ ትቤ በል. ቤልኩ እቤ እበል. ቤልነ ንቤ ንበል, showing its progression. But in the remaining five forms: ቤሉ ይቤሉ ይበሉ. ቤላ ይቤላ ይበላ. ቤልኪ ትቤሊ በሊ. ቤልክሙ ትቤሉ በሉ. ቤልክን ትቤላ በላ, thus it goes, matching its root with በዪል (beyil). That the root of በዪል (beyil) and the second form of ቤለ (bele), the brother of ይበይል (yibeyil), is a perfect prophetic clause, and not a standing first clause, is understood by three witnesses. First, because it progresses by adding n in the third form and the five plural forms, without ever being gutturalized. Second, because the ten origins of prophecy are only the four letters የተአነ (yetane) it progresses with these four, saying ይቤ ትቤ እቤ ንቤ. Third, because a standing clause does not have a second or third form; it is known by its imperative and its jussive. Understand; if it were a standing first clause or an imperative clause, its way would have been like ሀብ (hab) and ነዐ (nea) just as ሀብ (hab) and ነዐ (nea), without changing their root letters or adding any foreign letter at the end, conjugated in only four close forms as ሀብ ቡ ቢ ባ and ነዐ ንዑ ንዒ ንዓ, so too ይቤ (yibe), without changing its root letters or mixing l with ቤለ (bele) or ብህለ (bihile), would have conjugated in only four forms in the distant plural, as ይቤ ይቡ ይቢ ይባ. The explanation of ብሂል (bihil) has many aspects, so observe the rest in Rəba Qəmir and in construction in wax and gold (፪ኛና: ፲፱ኛ: ፳፪ኛ: ዕር። ፳፬: ፹፫: ፻፳፭ቍ).

[2]: (ዐረ ጀውሀር። ዕብ ዔጼም) the root, foundation, source, origin, spring, location of everything; nature, existence, operation. "ጀውሀር” (jewhar) in Arabic, "ዔጼም” (etsem) in Hebrew; it can be nature and essence; it is like existence and quality; but in Geez language, "ባሕርይ” (bahri) is said to be a physical, perfect essence, but not just essence; and "አካል” (akal body, essence) is said to be a natural, living essence, but not just nature. The root of all creation on earth is water, earth, wind, fire; these four are called natures and qualities; just as "ባሕርይ” (bahri) comes from "ብሕረ” (bihre), so "ጠባይዕ” (tebai) comes from "ጠብዐ” (teba). Just as the sea, being told "to bring forth,” brought forth many creations; and since nature is a place of origin and bringing forth; it is called the origin of essence, name, existence, the source of work, the foundation of action; just as every clause, adjective, fragment, raw material comes from a seed, so is this. For a natural work that comes from nature, the working essences tool is nature; just as essence is called the worker, nature is not called the worker; just as a sickle is for reaping, not the reaper; even if you call it the worker, its mystery comes from its being a tool; the owner of the work is always the essence. ወአካላኒ (weakalani its worker, its fulfiller) እግዚአብሔር ውእቱ (igziabher wiitu is God) ውእቱ: (አረጋ: ድ፲፰). But a teacher who does not distinguish essence from nature, the agent from the act, by their names and methods; saying essence when they mean nature, and nature when they mean essence; corrupts the Geez language, the words of the scriptures, the tradition, interpretation, and mystery of the scholars. እስመ ብሂሎቱ ኀየሰ እመላእክት አኮ ዘይኤምር ኀበ ባሕርዪሁ ዘእምአብ For his saying was lower than the angels, he does not know about his nature which is from the Father; እስመ ባሕርየ መለኮቱ አኮ ዘኮነ ሥጋ አላ ተወልደ for the nature of His divinity did not become flesh, but was begotten; ወባሕቱ ይኤምር ኀበ ባሕርየ ሥጋዌሁ but he knows about the nature of His incarnation (አፈ: ድ፩። ዕብ: ፩: ፬). Since the Creators nature, unlike the creatures nature, does not descend from father to son, cannot be first, divided, or mixed, being one root, one origin; when the Son, in His distinct essence, took our nature and became perfect man; it was His essence that became man, not His nature, so it says, "did not become flesh.” Therefore, in the union, saying the only Son, one essence, one Son, we speak of two natures by contemplation. But those who say three hypostases interpret it according to their custom, saying that originally, before the union, or having changed, He did not become man; their custom is to say that His nature became man, thus becoming one nature. To divide the nature of the Trinity, which the holy scriptures and scholars said is one, and say it is three; and to mix the natures of the Son, which they said are two by contemplation, and say it is one; is a word of contention and deceitful envy; it is not a true interpretation or solution; even if it is right for the interpreter, it is left for the listener. To say He begets Him but does not precede or excel Him is because the nature is not divided; if His nature became man, then His Father and His Spirit would necessarily have become man, making the Trinity man; and if they say three hypostases, it necessarily makes them three gods; all of which is condemned and anathematized. Becoming man and putting on flesh completely and utterly can only be said of the essence, not of the nature. ናወግዝ እለ ይብሉ አው ይኄልዩ ከመ ሥሉስ ቅዱስ ዘውእቶሙ ሠለስቱ አካላት ተሠገዉ We anathematize those who say or think that the Holy Trinity, who are three hypostases, became incarnate; በብሂሎትሙ ከመ መለኮት ኵለንታሁ ዘንሬኢ ከመ ውእቱ በአብ ወወልድ ወመንፈስ ቅዱስ ተሠገወ in their saying that the whole divinity which we see is that which became incarnate in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. ወናወግዝ ዓዲ እለ ይብሉ ሠለሰተ መለኮተ እንተ ዘአብ ወወልድ ወመንፈስ ቅዱስ And again we anathematize those who say three divinities, that of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. ወለእመ ትቤ መለኮት ሞተ አንተ ትከውን ቀታሊሆሙ ለሥሉስ ቅዱስ And if you say the divinity died, you become the killer of the Holy Trinity; እስመ ባሕርየ ሥላሴ አሐዱ ውእቱ፤ ዘውእቱ መለኮት for the nature of the Trinity is one, which is divinity (ሃይ: አ: ዮሐ: ዘእስ: ወዘአን። አግና). For the rest of the mystery and explanation of nature, see the order of existence, quality, and divinity.

ባሕተወ/ Bahtewe: he became alone; he separated; he was isolated. “ኢባሕተወ መለኮቱ እምትስብእቱ ወኢትስብእቱ እመለኮቱ” His divinity was not separated from His humanity, nor His humanity from His divinity (መጽ ፣ መስ). He grieved, he wept; he feared, he worried; because of being alone. “ምናሴ ኀሠሠ ገጸ አግዚአብሔር ወባሕተወ በሕቁ እምቅድመ ገጹ ለአምላከ አበዊሁ ወጸለየ” Manasseh sought the face of God and humbled himself greatly before the face of the God of his fathers and prayed (ዲድ: ፯። ፪ዜና: ፴፫: ፲፪). Instead of ባሕተወ/ bahtewe, it says ተባሕተወ/ tebahtewe; like instead of agele, teagele. Their meaning is the same; it does not change. “ወአመ ወለዶ ኢተባሕተወ አቡሁ ሎቱ።” And when He begot Him, His Father was not separated from Him. “አመ ይትባሐቶ ወይትባአስ ምስለ ጎልያድ።” When he was alone and fought with Goliath. “እለ ይትባሐተዉ ውስተ አድባር ወየዐይሉ ውስተ ገዳማት” Those who are alone in the mountains and live in the deserts (ቅዳ: ግሩ። መዝ: ፻፶፩። አፈ: ተ: ፲).

ባሕቱ/ Bahtu: alone; but; yet, however, but rather. When it is but, it is a major usage; like akonu and daimu, it comes before and after. “በዝንቱ ባሕቱ፤ ብቻ።” In this bahtu; alone. “ባሕቱ ዘንተ ረከብኩ።” I found only this. “መበለተ ባሕቱ ኢታውስብ” A widow should not think only of herself; but (ዘፍ፴፬: ፲፭። መክ፯: ፴። ዘሌ፳፩: ፲፬). The usage for alone was bahtu only; but in the book, daimu is rarely found in its place. The reason it is missing is because the respondent and finisher used bahtus place; Do not fear, only believe. And whoever is weak, only faith justifies him. “እሉኑ ዳእሙ ደቂቅከ እያሉ ስላገቡት ነው።” It is because they used it saying, These are only your children. See the meaning of ዳእሙ/ daimu (ዕር፲፱: ቍ፹፩).

ባሕቲት/ Bahtit: (ዕብ ልባድ) alone; solitude; aloneness; purity; goodness. It can be an adjective and an adverb; bahtitu ta tomu ton; it conjugates up to ten saying bahtitiye; but without listing them, it is not found in the sixth order; like lel and like bahtu. “ኖኅ ባሕቲቱ።” Noah alone. “ኀጢአት ባሕቲታ።” Sin alone. “ለከ ለባሕቲትከ።” For you alone. “እሉ ባሕቲቶሙ።” These alone. “አነ ባሕቲትየ።” I alone. “ኪያሁ ባሕቲቶ።” He alone. “ባሕቲቶ ዘበልዐ እስመ ይመውት ባሕቲቶ።” He who eats alone, for he will die alone (ኩፋ: ፭። ውዳ: ፮። መዝ: ፶። ዮሐ፲፯: ፳። ኢዮ፩: ፲፭። ማቴ፬: ፲። ቅኔ). “በፈቃደ ባሕቲቱ፤ በራሱ በብቻው ፈቃድ።” By the will of bahtitu; by his own will alone. “በባሕቲቶሙ ተስእልዎ፤ ብቻቸውን በኾኑ ጊዜ፤ ኹነው።” They asked Him in bahtitom; when they were alone; they became. “ሠሐቀት በባሕቲታ፤ በራሷ፤ በሰውነቷ።” She laughed in bahtita; by herself; in her body. But the Hebrew says biqirba. Only in her belly, in her heart, in her thought; meaning without teeth meeting, without lips parting. Aqemon inte bahtiton; for themselves alone; each by themselves; alone; ለ/ le iye ን/ n is the meaning of inte (ፍ: ነ: ፮። ማር፬: ፲። ዘፍ፲፰: ፲፪። ፳፩: ፳፰).

ባሕታዊ/ Bahtawi: one who lives alone; hermit, bachelor; lonely exile; poor relative. “እስመ ባሕታዊ ወነዳይ አነ።” For I am a hermit and poor. “ከመ ዖፍ ባሕታዊ።” Like a lonely bird. “ርድአኒ ለተ ለባሕታዊት።” Help me, the lonely one. “ተሣሀልኮሙ ለክልኤ ባሕታውያን” Have mercy on the two hermits (መዝ: ፳፬። ፻፩። አስቴ፬: ፲፯። ጦቢ፰: ፲፯። መዝ: ፷፮). anchorite, monk; secluded; from the world and people. Living separated from wild animals in the wilderness, in the bushes, in the ravines, in the caves; like Elijah and John from the ancient people; like Paul and Anthony from the later people. Paul lived in the desert for 80 years without seeing a person; therefore, he is called the chief of hermits (ስንክ: የካ፪). “ባሕታዊ ዘሞቅሐ ርእሶ በጾማዕቱ።” A hermit who burns his head with his fasting. “መነኮስ ባሕታዊ።” Monk, hermit. “ወነበረ ሐቅለ ምስለ አራዊት” And he was in the wilderness with the wild beasts (ፈ: መ: ፫: ፯። ስንክ: ታኅ፳፫። ማር፩: ፲፫).

ባሕትዎ ተባሕትዎ/ Bahtiwo Tebahitiwo: to be alone, lonely; solitude. “ወፂእ እማኅበር ወተባሕትዎ ውስተ በኣት” He went out from the assembly and was alone in the house (ፊልክ: ፵፬).

ባህን ባህናን/ Bahin Bahinan: dust; dirt; grime.

ባህንኖ ኖት/ Bahinno Not: (ባህነነ ይባሀንን ይባህንን) to become nothing, to be wasted; to vanish; to dwindle; to decrease; to perish, to be ruined; to be in vain. But the book says ተባህነነ/ tebahinene instead of ባህነነ/ bahinene; it is not right. “ይኄይሰኒ መዊት እምይትባሀነነኒ ምዝጋናየ” It is better for me to die than to have anyone deprive me of my boasting (፩ቆሮ: ፱: ፲፭። ስንክ: መስ፭).

: to be startled; to be agitated; to wake up suddenly from sleep (ዐማርኛ).

ባሉጥ/ Balut: (ዐረ በሉጥ። ሱር ባሉጣ) name of a tree; strong, hard, longlived tree; lives for many thousands of years; its strength surpasses all trees; its wood and charcoal are sold at a high price. The Amharic word ዐብየ ብሎ በለጠ (abeye bilo belete) he surpassed by saying father comes from this; see Dirs and Balan. Its longevity can be known from the fact that the one that existed in Abrahams time still exists today without drying up, without moving, without being pruned. Today, since it is old, three trunks with its appearance have grown from its roots, which everyone goes and sees. Joseph also says in history that it was the first one that existed from ancient times, from creation. “ዐሠርቱ ወክልኤቱ ዕፀወ ባሉጥ” Twelve and ten balut trees (ስንክ: ጥቅ፳። ሆሴ: ፲፫). But the Hebrew calls the tree አሎን/ alon and only its fruit ባሉጥ/ balut.

[2]: (ብ አብላቅ። ጽር ፕላኬስ: stone tablet; board, table, slate. “ወአልቦ ዘሀሎ ውስተ ይእቲ ታቦት ዘእንበለ ክልኤቱ አብላቅ ዘአንበረ ሙሴ በደብረ ኰሬብ” And there was nothing in that ark except the two stone tablets that Moses placed on Mount Horeb (፪፳ዜና: ፭: ፩).

ባላን/ Balan: (ጽር ባላኖስ። ዕብ አሎን። ዐረ በሉጥ: name of a tree. See Dirs and Balut; it is one with this; but the elders call it acacia. “ታሕተ ዕፀ ባላን” Under the balan tree (ዘፍ፴፭: ፰። መሳ፱: ፮። ኩፋ: ፲፫).

ባማ/ Bama (ዕብራ: name of a place; high place; elevated hill; mountain, hill; idol temple built on a mountain; place of idols; burial place. Bama is not said for the holy, but for the impure; its plural is bamot. What is the high place to which you go. “ምንት ውእቱ ባማ ዘተሐውሩ አንትሙ ህየ፤ ወተሰምየ ስሙ ባማ” So its name is called Bama (ሕዝ፳: ፴፱).

ባሲላዊ/ Basilawi (ጽር ባሲሌፍስ: royal; of the kings lineage. “ባሲላውያን” Basilians (ቀሌ).

ባሲልያ/ Basilya: kingdom; lordship, kingship. But the book says ፋሲልያሱ/ Fasilyasu instead of ባሲልያሱ/ Basilyasu; su is a suffix from. See አምንስቲቲን/ Amnistitin.

ባስልዮስ/ Baslyos: a persons name; meaning king, royal.

ባሦር/ Basor: (ዕብ ባሣር። ሱር ቤስራ) flesh; part of the flesh. “ወገብረ ለርእሱ ባሦረ ግሩመ ወለብሰ እምኔሃ ለድንግል” And He made for Himself a wonderful flesh and clothed the Virgin with it (ቀሌ). But the Arab says በሸር/ besher እብን እልበሸር/ ibni ilbesher meaning man, son of man.

ባርኮ ኮት/ Barko Kot: (ባረከ ይባርክ ይባርክ) to give thanks; to offer thanks with kneeling or while kneeling. ባርኮ/ Barko and በሪክ/ Berik are all one root in the Semitic languages; for the ancient people, the forefathers, the former prophets, and priests used to bow down and kneel when they called upon, prayed to, and praised the name of the Creator; so bareke shows all the methods. “ይባርክዎ ኵሉ ግብረ እግዚ ለእግዚ።” Let all the works of the Lord bless the Lord. “ወባረኩ ዘ ቡራኬ።” And they blessed the blessing. “ባርኩ ለስሙ በኵሉ ጊዜ” Bless His name at all times (ዳን፫: ፶፯ – ፹፰። ዘፀ፲፭: ፩። ሢራ፴፱: ፴፭).

ባርዮ ዮት/ Baryo Yot: (ባረየ ይባሪ ይባሪ። ዐረ በረይ) to change, to replace; to alternate, to exchange, to transpose. To rule, to make a slave. But the books say አስተባረየ/ astebareye instead of ባረየ/ bareye. “ያስተባሪ ክረምተ በሐጋይ ወመፀወ በጸደይ።” He who alternates winter with summer and harvest with spring. “ኀምስተ ዐራዘ በዘያስተባሪ።” Five cubits in the alternating one. “ያስተባሪ ወርኅ ምልአተ ወሕጸተ ዐውደ ብርሃኑ።” The alternating month, the fullness and waning of its light circle. “ይዕጥኑ በአስተባርዮ እደው።” They offer incense with alternating hands. “ከመ ዘያስተባሪ የማኖ ልዑል” Like the one who alternates the right hand of the Most High (መጽ: ምስ። ዘፍ፵፭: ፳፪። አርጋ: ፩። ግንዘ። መዝ: ፸፮).

ባባህ/ Babah: (ዐረ። ቅብጥ ፓዎፒ፤ ፖፔ፤ ፋዎፊ) name of a month; the second month of the Copts, October. Since the word is Coptic and the letter is Arabic, ፐ/ pe has changed to በ/ be. “ግበሩ በዓለ በመንፈቀ ባባህ” Celebrate the feast in the middle of Babah (አቡሻ: ፰). But in Hebrew, it means daughter of the eye, pupil of the eye, iris.

ባቤል/ Babel: (ዐረ አባቢል) name of a bird; a mythical bird like the phoenix; that does not exist among creatures; that has never existed or been created; which the Muslims talk about and mention in their writing called Sur; or which Babylon used to worship. “አዕዋፈ ባቢል ዘውእቱ አጎርጋናት ሠለስቱ ምእት” Birds of Babil, which are three hundred gorgons (አዋል).

[2]: (ጥሬ ዘር) A servant letter of a name; an affix of the root letter; being added to an adjective and a root, it is spoken of as a beginning. The main foreign letters are these four: አ, መ, ተ, ነ (a, me, te, ne) ametenä; since only their first form (ግእዝ giiz) is spoken, their second, fourth, sixth, and seventh forms, except for ne, are not distinct. አ (a) becoming a habit of making and causing to be done, enters in the first clause and immediately becomes foreign to the root. (Proof: ርእየ (riye he saw) → አርአየ (araye he showed) → አርኣያ (araya appearance). ከለለ (kelele he surrounded) → አከለለ (akelele he crowned) → አክሊል (eklil crown). መሰለ (mesele he resembled) → አምሰለ (amsele he likened) → አምሳል (amsal likeness). ሰትዐ (seta he drank) → አስትዐ (asta he gave to drink) → አስትዓ (asta drink). ገዝአ (geza he ruled) → አግዝአ (agza he caused to rule) → እግዚእ (igzi lord). ለትሐ (leteha he sent) → አልትሐ (alteha he caused to send) → እልታሕ (iltah sending). ነገደ (negede he journeyed) → አንገደ (angede he caused to journey) → እንግዳ (ingida guest) and the like. When መ (me) is foreign: ቀደሰ (qedese he sanctified) → መቅደስ (meqdes sanctuary). ነበረ (nebere he lived) → መንበር (menber throne). ደበለ (debele he added) → መድበል (medbel addition). ሙ (mu: ውሕዘ (wuhize he flowed) → ሙሓዝ (muhaz flow). ወፅአ (wetsa he went out) → ሙፃእ (mutsa going out). ወረደ (werede he descended) → ሙራድ (murad descent). ማ (ma: አመረ (amere he knew) → ማእምር (maimr knowledge). ሒበ (hibe he gave) → ማሕየብ (mahyeb giving). ሐረጸ (haretse he chose) → ማሕረጽ (mahrets choice). ም (mi: ገብረ (gebre he did) → ምግባር (migbar deed). ሖረ (hore he went) → ምሕዋር (mihwar going). ቆመ (qome he stood) → ምቅዋም (miqwam standing). ሞ (mo: ወሠረ (wesere he founded) → ሞሠርት (mosert foundation). ወፈጠ (wefete he created) → ሞፈጥ (mofet creation). ወፀፈ (wetsefe he wrote) → ሞፀፍ (motsef writing). Since ሙ (mu) and ሞ (mo) being second and seventh forms is due to ወ (we) being gutturalized, they are not found except in verbs beginning with ወ (we). ተ (te) also becoming a habit of being done and being done reciprocally, enters in the first clause and, like አ (a), immediately becomes foreign to the root; this clearly explains that every root form comes from a similar, not dissimilar, clause. (Proof: ገሠጸ (gesetse he rebuked) → ተገሠጸ (tegesetse he was rebuked) → ተግሣጽ (tegsats rebuke). ወለጠ (welete he adhered) → ተወለጠ (tewelete it adhered) → ተውላጥ (teulat adherence). ሜጠ (mete he measured) → ተመይጠ (temeyte he was measured) → ተምያጥ (temyat measure). ፈጸመ (fetseme he completed) → ተፈጸመ (tefetseme he was completed) → ተፍጻሜ (teftsame completion). ቀረመ (qereme/ ቀሠመ qeseme he bound/ he swore) → ተቀርመ (teqerme/ ተቀሥመ teqesme he was bound/ he swore) → ተቅራም (teqram/ ተቅሣም teqsam bond/ oath) and the like. ታ (ta: ሐጸ (hatse he hid) → ተሓጸ (tehatse he was hidden) → ታሕጻጽ (tahtsats hiding place). ኀሠ (hese he thought) → ተኀሠ (tehese he was thought about) → ታኅሣሥ (tahsas December). ኀመሰ (hamese he was hot) → ተኀመሰ (tehamese he was heated) → ታኅማስ (tahmas August). ት (ti: መክሐ (mekihe he boasted) → ተመክሐ (temekihe he boasted himself) → ትምክሕት (timkihit boast). ሠለሰ (selese he made three) → ተሠለሰ (teselese it became three) → ትሥልስት (tislist Trinity). ሠገወ (segewe he became flesh) → ተሠገወ (tesegewe he became incarnate) → ትሥጉት (tisgut Incarnation). ደመረ (demere he added) → ተደመረ (tedemere it was added) → ትድምርት (tidmirt addition). ወፈየ (wefeye he entrusted) → ተወፈየ (tewefeye it was entrusted) → ትውፊት (tiwfit tradition) and the like. When ነ (ne) is foreign; except for verbs beginning with በነ (bene), it enters verbs in the reduplicated word, remaining distinct from አ (a) and becoming the beginning of the root. (Proof: በልበለ (belbele it flamed) → አንበልበለ (anbelbele it blazed) → ነበልባብ (nebelbab flame). በስበሰ (besbese it decayed) → አንበስበሰ (anbesbese it caused to decay) → ነበስባስ (nebesbas decay). ጐድጐደ (godgode it thundered) → አንጐድጐደ (angodgode it thundered) → ነጐድጓድ (negodgwad thunder). ገርገረ (gergere/ ጐርጐረ gor gore it rattled/ it roared) → አንገርገረ (angergere/ አንጐርጐረ angorgore it caused to rattle/ it caused to roar) → ነገርጋር (negergar/ ነጐርጓር negorgwar rattling/ roaring). ቀጥቀጠ (qetqete/ ቀልቀለ qelqele he crushed/ he stirred) → አንቀጥቀጠ (anqetqete/ አንቀልቀለ anqelqele he caused to crush/ he caused to stir) → ነቀጥቃጥ (neqetqat/ ነቀልቃል neqelqal crushing/ stirring) and the like. አን (an) and አስተ (aste) enter due to habit and become foreign to the root and adjective; አን (an), becoming እንዳለ (indale as it is) and እን (in) when entering a verb in the reduplicated word: በስበሰ (besbese it decayed) → አንበስበሰ (anbesbese it caused to decay) → አንበሳ (anbesa lion). ገለገ (gelege he served) → አንገለገ (angelege he ministered) → እንግልጋ (ingilga service). ሶሰወ (soswe he crept) → አንሶሰወ (ansoswe it swarmed) → እንስሳ (insisa animal). ጎገወ (gogewe he bent down) → አንጎገወ (angogewe he caused to bend down) → እንጉግው (ingugw bending down). ጌገየ (gegeye he erred) → አንጌገየ (angegeye he caused to err) → እንጌግይ (ingegeyi error) and the like. See the rest with አን (an) and እን (in) it is explained from there. When አስተ (aste) becomes እስት (istit) and enters: ነፍሰ (nefese he breathed) → አንፈሰ (anfese he inhaled) → አስተንፈሰ (astenefese he caused to breathe) → እስትንፋስ (istinfas breath). ገብአ (geba he entered) → አግብአ (agba he brought in) → አስተጋብአ (astegaba he gathered together) → እስትጉቡእ (istigubu gathering). ረከበ (rekebe he found) → አርከበ (arkebe he caused to find) → አስተርከበ (asterkebe he caused to be found) → እስትርኩብ (istirukub finding) and the like. መ (me) also enters where አስተ (aste) enters, with አን (an) being gutturalized; this shows all the rest, such as አስተፍሥሐ (astefsiha) → መስተፍሥሕ (mestefsih), አስተመክሐ (astemekiha) → መስተመክሕ (mestemekih), አስተስረየ (astesreye) → መስተስርይ (mestesiryi) / ምስትስራይ (mistisirayi).

Since his walk was in darkness and on a narrow path, it is found as በዐለ ይቤዕል/ beale yibeil; as it says ይቤዕል/ yibeil. Secondly, instead of ብዕለ/ bile, it says ተብዕለ/ tebile; it does not make sense. “እለ ይትበዐላ ደርገ” Those who marry a second time (ስንክ: ሐም፳፯).

ቦ/ Bo: existential particle. There is; he lived; he was; he became.

When bo and botu are explained in detail, they are only for one, not for many. This shows that it goes on saying, he has, there is for him, it is upon him. Botu, separated from bo, becomes in him or by him. ዘቦቱ ኵሉ ኮነ/ All that came into being through him; all that was created through him; or by whom it was created. ኵሉ ዘየአምን ቦቱ/ All who believe in him; all in whom he believes. Whether it says in him or by him, the meaning is the same. It is for both evil and good.

ቦሁ ቦኑ/ Bohu Bonu: (ቦ ሁ፤ ቦ ኑ) ቦ/ Bo is an existential particle; ሁ/ Hu and ኑ / Nu are interrogative words; when connected, it means do we have. or is there.. “ቦሁ ኀበ ይሴወሩ እምኔየ።” Bohu where can they hide from me. “ቦሁ ዘተርፈ ኀቤከ።” Bohu what is left with you. “ቦኑ ረኣይ ዝየ፤ እወ ቦ” Bonu see here; yes, there is (ኤር፳፫: ፳፬። ዓሞ፮: ፲። ፩ነገ: ፱: ፲፩). Secondly, in colloquial Amharic, it means indeed. or really., making a question a category, showing investigation, accusation, and rebuke. Colloquial Amharic means; without ቦሁ/ Bo losing its particle status; when it enters like ቦሁ ዘሰአልኩክሙ/ Bohu ze sealkukumu; ቦኑ ዘዐመፅኩክሙ/ Bonu ze ametsekukumu, it means indeed, have we asked you. Have we sinned against you., so it is. But when the particle is different, its meaning is only indeed; therefore, it enters into all questions; because indeed itself is a question. “ቦኑ በኣተ ፈያት ውእቱ ቤትየ።” Bonu is it a den of robbers, my house. “ቦኑ፤ለባሕቲቶሙ ለአይሁድ እግዚ።” Bonu; is the Lord only for the Jews. “ቦኑ አባእክሙ ሊተ መሥዋዕተ ወቍርባነ።” Bonu have you brought me sacrifices and offerings. But if it says ዘአባእክሙ/ ze abaekumu (that you brought), it means we have; when bonu is added, it emphasizes it (ኤር፯: ፲፩። ሮሜ፫: ፳፱። ግብ፯: ፵፪).

ቦቀ/ Boqe: (ይበውቅ ይቡቅ፤ በዊቅ። ዐረብ በወቀ) he blew, struck, shouted; with the mouth, with breath.

ቦክ/ Bok [1]: (ዕብ ቡኽ) bewike; to be wasted, to wander about; to be worn out; to stagger; of a traveler, of a sick person. But the commentators call it a bodily wound. “መጽአከ ሕማም ወገሰሰከ ቦክ” Pain came upon you and made you stagger (ኢዮ፬: ፭). Instead of ክዳም ገዚፍ/ kidam gezif (thick covering), it says ክዳነ ቦክ/ kidane bok (covering of bok) it is wrong. But the Hebrew says ማክቤር/ makber; it means a thick covering, a night garment like a buluko (፬ነገ: ፰: ፲፭).

[2]: Bok; to be wasted; በዊክ/ bewik.

ቦዝ/ Boz: particle of negligence; its reading is careless, its word is lazy, it does not bind things. ቀቲሎ ባሪኮ ቀዲሶ/ Qetilo bariko qediso and the like. They tied the strings of the harp, name of one. Like saying Boz is foolish. The name of a great light that white people call ባውዛ/ Bauza agrees with ቦዝ/ Boz and ቤዝ/ Bez.
