ከ/ Kä [1]: The 11th letter in the Geez alphabet in the አበገደ/ Abegede order; its name is ካፍ/ Kaf, its number is twenty; when it is a numeral, it is called ከ ዕሥራ/ kä ʿəśra; ካያ/ kaya is twenty; or it means two tens; like the doubling of የ/ yä.

[2]: (ኩ ኪ ክሙ ክን) List of persons; pointing and making known; or a sign. It lists, points out, and distinguishes the five groups of near and very near men and women called አንተ/ ʾantä (youmasculine singular), አነ/ ʾanä (I), አንቲ/ ʾanti (youfeminine singular), አንትሙ/ ʾantəmu (youmasculine plural), አንትን/ ʾantənt (youfeminine plural) by saying ነበብከ näbäbkä ኩ/ ku ኪ/ ki ክሙ/ kəmu ክን/ kən (you read, I read, you readfeminine, you readplural masculine, you readplural feminine). But for አነ/ ʾanä (I), it does not enter into all the near lists except for the first; the ኩ/ y that was in ku is inherited; ነበብኩ/ näbäbku (I read) is ንባብየ/ nəbabiyä (my reading).

ከሃ/ Kähä፡ (ብ ከሃት) Yonder, over there; from there, in that place; it shows a separation of place, a slight distance; its meaning is like ህየ/ həyyä (there), its manner is like ለፌ/ läfe (from).

Flee from here to there. I will go there and pray. Scatter there. They went far away there. In this world and in the next, in the presence of God. Their ከሃ/ kähä (there).

(ዕር፳፩: ቍ፻፲፰). But some writings say ከሃክ ከሃከ/ kähak and kähakä instead of ከሃ/ kähä; it is a scribes error. “ነዋ ዝየ ወነዋ ከሃክ።” Behold here and behold yonder. “አስከ እትመየጥ ለፌ ወከሃከ።” Until I return to yonder and to there. “ተኃሥሦት እምጥንቃቄ ከሃክ።” Seek diligently from yonder. “ወዓዲ ዘእምዝ ከሃከ” And again, that which is from yonder (ሉቃ፲፯: ፳፫። ፫ነገ: ፳: ፵። ቄር).

But those who are blind in their knowledge call it the 30th part of an hour; one hour is equal to 30 ከንትሮስ/ käntrōs. “ዘያስተባሪ አክራመ በሐጋይ ወመፀወ በጸደይ ከንትሮሳቲሆሙ ዘገብረ በዘይትዔረይ” He who stores up his harvest in summer and his vintage in spring, his ከንትሮሳቲሆሙ/ käntrōsat are made in what is not fitting (መጽ: ምስ).

You stirred up the sea. Demons stir up many evils in his heart (ኢሳ፶፩: ፲፭። ሱቱ: ዕዝ፩: ፲፱። ፊልክ: ፴: ፴፯). ኮሰ/ Kōśä, ሖሰ/ ḥōśä, and ኆሠ/ ḥʷośä are of the same root; but their forms are different like their letters; this is known by their evidence; see their meanings in their respective places.

: To be done; to be completed, to be accomplished; of work, of prophecy, of command. “ዝ ኵሉ ይከውን ፍጡነ።” All this will happen quickly. “በከመ ነበብኩ ከማሁ ይከውን።” As I have spoken, so it will be. “እስመ በግብር ይከውን ዘነበበ ዮናስ ነቢይ” For what the prophet Jonah spoke came to pass in deed (ኢሳ፲፬: ፩: ፳፬። ጦቢ፲፬: ፰).

: To dwell, to live; to occupy a place; its mystery agrees with standing and sitting. “ኢይከውነከ ትዕጥን።” He dwelt in the Virgin Mary. “ኢይከውነነ ንደዮ ውስተ ቤተ መባእ።” Let the light of our God be upon us. “ዘኢይከውኖሙ ለበሊዕ” So that I may be in him (ውዳ: ማር፫። መዝ: ፹፱። ፊልጵ፫: ፱).

: To be fitting, to be suitable; to agree. “ኢይከውነከ ትዕጥን።” It is not fitting for you to offer incense. “ኢይከውነነ ንደዮ ውስተ ቤተ መባእ።” It is not lawful for us to put it into the treasury. “ዘኢይከውኖሙ ለበሊዕ” Which was not lawful for them to eat (፪ዜና: ፳፮: ፲፰። ማቴ፳፯: ፮። ሉቃ፮: ፬).

: To be sufficient; to be enough. You have gone around this mountain long enough. “ኮነከ ወኢትድግም።” It is enough for you, do not go further. “ይከውነክሙ ዐሪግ ውስተ ኢየሩሳሌም” You shall be old in Jerusalem (ዘዳ፪: ፫። ፫: ፳፮። ፫ነገ: ፲፪: ፳፰).

Essence and being are one; their mystery is nature. “እመሰኬ ከዊነ እግዚአብሔር ዘኢይትዌለጥ በከመ ይትዌለጥ ህላዌሆሙ ለፍጡራን ።” If I testify to the being of God which does not change as the existence of creatures changes. “እምከዊነ ካህን ይኄይስ ከዊነ ኖላዊ” The being of a shepherd is better than the being of a priest (ማር: ይሥ፴፫: ፫። ቅኔ).

Or to change completely into another nature, to become another kind; to be transformed and turned into another nature, to be called by another name; but its essence and sign remain, even if they share the work, without its existence being lost or diminished. “ነጸረት ብእሲተ ሎጥ ድኅሬሃ ወኮነት ሐውልተ ጼው።” Lots wife looked back and became a pillar of salt. “ወኮነት በትር አርዌ ምድር።” And the rod became a serpent. “ወኮነ ኵሉ ማይ ዘውስተ ተከዚ ደመ።” And all the water in the river became blood. “ጥዒሞ አንከረ ሊቀ ምርፋቅ ውእተ ማየ ዘኮነ ወይነ” When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, he was amazed (ዘፍ፲፱: ፳፮። ዘፀ፬: ፫። ፯: ፳። ዮሐ፪: ፱). To stand upright, to be firm; to be strong in its place, not to be shaken, of a pillar, of a column, of a statue; see ክዋኒት/ kʷānīt; its witness is itself.

ከዋኒም/ Käwānīm: (ዕብ አዳርኮኒም) Name of money; Persian money. ʾAdarkonim is plural. For singular, it is said ʾadarkon or ʾadarkmon; but the commentators on the Old Testament call it provisions, priestly garments (ዕዝ፰: ፳፯).

To be skillful; to know work, to be proficient in work; to create new things; to invent machines. See በልኀን/ bəlḫän and ጠበን/ ṭäbän; they are related to this. But the book says ኬነወ/ kēnäwwä or ተኬነወ/ täkēnäwwä instead of ኬነ/ kēnä; the ተ/ tä is superfluous. “ተኬነዉ ኵልክሙ እለ ትስሕቱ።” You are all skilled in error. “በተኬንዎ ምግባር።” By skilled conduct. “ዘዐቢይ በተኬንዎቱ ወኀያል በምግባሩ።” He who is great in his skill and mighty in his deeds. “ልብስ ብሩህ ዘኢተኬነዎ እደ ፅጓለ መሕያው” A bright garment that the hand of the living child did not make (ኢሳ፵፮: ፭። ጥበ፲፫: ፲። ቅዳ).

Some texts say አኬደ/ ʾakēdä instead of ኬደ/ kēdä, like in Amharic; it does not make sense. “ኢያከይዱ ወይነ ውስተ ምክያድ።” They shall not tread wine in the winepress. “ያከይዱ እክለ ወወይነ።” They shall tread grain and wine. “ተንሥኢ አኪዲዮሙ።” Arise, and thresh them. “ላሕም ዘያከይድ” An ox that treads (ኢሳ፲፮: ፲። ነሐ፲፫: ፲፭። ሚክ፬: ፲፫። ዘዳ፳፭: ፬).

ከደዋ/ Kädäwā: (ዕብ ካድኮድ) Pearl, name of a pearl; its color is like a pomegranate, like a ruby; that springs forth and sparkles. “ሠለስቱ አዕናቍ ዘወርቅ ወብሩር ወከደዋ።” Three necklaces of gold, silver, and pearl. “ወርቅ ወከደዋ ወብሩር ወካልኣን አዕናቍ ሀለዉ ይትረከቡ እስከ ዮም” Gold, pearl, silver, and other necklaces exist and are found until today (ታሪ: አኵ: ገ፺፭).

[2]: Entirety; it surrounded, it encompassed; all, all.

ኵለንታዊ/ Kʷəläntawī፡ (ዊት) Inner and outer, of soul and body, perfect humanity, perfect understanding, perfect intellect. “ኀደገት ግብራቲሁ ለዝ ዓለም ወመጽአት ምስለ ኵለንታዊታ ለኀበ ዓለም ካልእ፤ ልብ ሳይቀራት” She left her deeds of this world and came with her whole being to another world, without losing her mind (ፊልክ: ፫).

ኵሉ/ Kʷəllū: All, everything; it surrounded, it encompassed.

(ኵላ ኵሎሙ ኵሎን) All, the whole; its entirety, the complete; not even one missing. “ኵሉ ዓለም፤ ኵላ ምድር፤ ኵሎሙ ዕደው፤ ኵሎን አንስት።” All the world; all the earth; all his hands; all the women. “ኵሉ ቀላያት፤ ኵሉ ዕፀው፤ ኵሉ አሕዛብ።” All the rivers; all the trees; all the nations. Since ሉ/ lu is a distant possessive pronoun, the multiplication of ኵልሁ/ kʷəllū does not agree with the possessive pronouns for the near ones except for the distant ones; and in the accusative case, they do not change from lu except for ላ/ la and ሎ/ lō. Furthermore, instead of saying ኵሉ ፥ ላ ፥ ሎሙ ፥ ሎን/ kʷəllū, lā, lōmu, lōn, one can multiply only ኵል/ kʷəll like one to ten, saying ኵልሁ ልሃ ፥ ልሆሙ ሆን / kʷəlhu, lhā, lhōmu, hōn. Since one and all are one in mystery, instead of saying አሐዱ አሐዱ/ ʾaḥādu ʾaḥādu, it says ኵሉ ኵሉ/ kʷəllū kʷəllū; or combining it, it says ኵሉ አሐዱ / kʷəllū ʾaḥādu, meaning not even one is missing (ስንክ: ሐም፳፯). Except for the vocative, ኹሉ/ kʷəllū as an adjective and possessive pronoun is sufficient for all plural nouns that have internal plurality; for more than one, and even for one, from two to a thousand, divided or undivided, it is said for many and for few. “ኵሉ ሕዝብ፤ ኵሉ ፍጥረት፤ ኵሉ ነፍስ ይሴብሖ፤ ቅጽል።” All the people; all creation; let every soul praise him; adjective. “ኵልክሙ ተዐልዉኒ፤ እመሂ ኵሎሙ ዐለዉከ፤ ወኵሎሙ ሰማዕተ ኮኑ፤ ዐጸፋ።” You all have seen me; even if all of them have seen you; and all became witnesses; possessive pronoun. “ኵሉ ላንድ መነገሩ ባንድነቱ ውስጥ ብዙ ክፍላት ብዙ ሕዋሳት ስላሉ ነው፤ ኵሉ ሕንጻ፤ ኵሉ መሌሊት፤ ኵሉ ሥጋሁ፤” All has passed away; Lord of all; and all will perish like a garment; sufficient. ኵሉ/ Kʷəllū is said for one because in its oneness there are many parts, many members; all the building; all the night; all his flesh; and the like. But the Geez book, in a scribes error, says, In him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (ቆላ፪: ፱). The example of the Greek; and all that is taken from the Greek; for it says, For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and not all his Godhead. ኵሉ / Kʷəllū is not said in any language for only one that does not have internal plurality and does not agree to be divided; and that which has the fullness of the Godhead is perfect grace. And this reading does not agree with full of grace and truth, but with the Word became flesh and dwelt among us; it is very far (ዮሐ፩: ፲፬). ከለሜዳ ኬልቄዶን / Kälämēdā Kēlqēdōn.

Also in the accusative case, except for ኵልየ/ kʷəllyä, ኹሉ/ kʷəllū inherits ል/ lə, ለ/ lä in the five. “ዕቀብ ኵልነ።” Keep us all. “ከመ ትቅትል ኵልነ” So that you may kill us all (ሊጦም። ዘፀ፲፮: ፫).

Many books use the accusative and genitive interchangeably, saying በኵለሄ ፥ እንተ ኵለሄ፥/ bäkʷälehē, ʾəntä kʷälehē, ውስተ ኵለሄ/ wəstä kʷälehē; and sometimes, it even appears inappropriately as “ላዕለ ምድር ኵልሄ “laʿlä mədər kʷəlhē; see the explanation of this.

ኵስሕ/ Kʷəsəḥ: dung, animal droppings, excrement that comes out of the stomach, the residue of food. “ከመ ይብልዑ ኵስሖሙ።” So that they may eat their dung. “ኵስሐ ርግብ።” Doves dung. “ኵስሐ አፍራስ ወእንስሳ” Dung of horses and animals (ኢሳ፮: ፲፪። ፬ነገ: ፮: ፳፭። ዮሴፍ).

Because ከራድዮን/ Karādyōn and ካራድርዮን/ Kārādrəyōn are similar, it says ከራድዮን/ Karādyōn instead of ካራድርዮን/ Kārādrəyōn (ዘዳ፲፬: ፲፰).

Often, without needing interpretation or meaning, it remains as an embellishment and adornment of reading, like ከመ/ kämä. “ምንትኬ ሰብእ ዘይጸንሖ እሳት” What kind of man is he whom fire consumes? “ምንትኬ ዘአሜሃ ዐውያት” What kind are those cries then? (አንክሮ). “ንግባእኬ ኀበ ጥ ነ።” Let us go then to Ṭənä. “ውእቱኬ” Is it he? “አንትሙኬ።” Is it you? “ዝኬ ውእቱ፤ ዝኬ እፎ፤ ይህ ነዋ፤ ይህሳ” This is it; how is this? this is it!; this then (አጋኖ). “ወይንኬ አልቦሙ፤ የላቸውም እኮ” They have no wine then; they do not have it (ምልጃ). “ርእዩ እመ ይዌልጡ አሕዛብ አማልክቲሆሙ፤ እንዘኬ ኢኮኑ አማልክተ፤ እንኳን” See if the nations have exchanged their gods; while they were not gods; indeed (ኤር፪: ፲፪). “አንዳንድ ጊዜም በዋዌ ፈንታ፤ ኵሉኬ ዕፅ ዘኢይፈሪ።” Sometimes it comes in place of wa; indeed every tree that does not bear fruit. This one opened one of them. Even the Law… it is found entering out of place. Sometimes it becomes ማ/ mā; and this is when it enters into a narrative and imperative clause. “ነዐኬ በልኬ፤ ናማ በልማ” Come then, say to me; come to us, say to us (ዕር፳: ቍ፺፱).

፡ Name of a city; located in Asia Minor in the country of Turkey; near Constantinople; in the year ፬፻፶፩ after the birth [of Christ], the Greek King Marcian and his wife Pulcheria gathered ፮፻፴፮ bishops, three hundred times two, because of the supremacy of their kingdom, and established a great council greater than all councils; where those like Ibas and Theodoret entered, who had previously been condemned with Nestorius in Ephesus, and later, after their death, Vigilius, the descendant, cursed and excommunicated them with their books at the Council of Constantinople; where Dioscorus, the Archbishop of Alexandria, and Macarius, and other teachers, and four bishops who came from Syria and Armenia were added, and these six were separated. See the reason in the history of the church; the history is divided into two parts: the first is of Egypt, Syria, and Armenia; the second is of Greece and Rome. The history of the Greeks does not agree with the words of the ቅዳሴውና ከድርሳኑ/ Qəddase and the dərsan (homily) written by Dioscorus, it is like eye and dust; and to know this, the Ethiopian Catholics, having refined the fruit of the Qəddase with the scholars of Rome and having obtained permission from the Pope, celebrate it because it is free from falsehood, error, and obscenity. They have only changed its name in the title, calling it አኰቴተ ቍርባን ዘቅዱስ ዲዮስቆሮስ/ ʾAkʷōtētä Qʷərbān Zäqədūs Diyōsqōrōs (Praise of the Offering of Saint Dioscorus) instead of ዲዮናስዮስ/ Dionysius; and this Qəddase was composed and written while he was in Gangra; just as it is found written in Geez, it is also found in other languages, in Syriac, Armenian, Greek, and Latin. Seeing is better than hearing; so examine the Qəddase from beginning to end; you will find it saying One Person, Two Natures. Secondly, in the ሃይማኖተ አበው / Haymānōtä ʾAbāw (Faith of the Fathers), to explain why Dioscorus was separated, a short excerpt or message from his own book is brought, which speaks of the meaning of Person, Nature, and Hypostasis, in the Dərsan of Baba Benyamin, where it says, And again he said, Dioscorus, the faithful head of the bishops of Alexandria, in his letter which he wrote to Berthir while he was in Gangra, said, “ይቤ፤ አንሰ ረከብኩ ነገረ እንዘ ኣነብብ መጻሕፍቲከ ዘፈኖከ ሊተ ምስለ ሰበእ መትሕላን እለ ኢኮነ ፍጹማነ ወአልቦሙ አእምሮ ጥዩቀ፤” I found a matter while reading your books which you sent to me with unreliable men who were not perfect and had no profound understanding; examine it from the beginning to the end. And it is said that the reason for writing the letter was that the Copts, having quarreled in the Orthodox tradition and become two factions, wrote their own book; and a man named Berthir, having added his own book, sent it with two monks.

ክርስቶስ/ Kərstōs፡ (ጽር ኽሪስቶስ) Name of office; anointed, the anointed one; like Aaron and like David, chosen, anointed, ordained, and reigned. Anointing is for three offices: to be a priest, king, and prophet. The person who ordains these three is first chosen from the people; secondly, he is anointed with holy oil by a priest or prophet; and when he is anointed, he receives the grace, authority, and ability to perform the work of his office; this is for everyone (ዘፀ፳፬: ፯። ዘሌ፬: ፫። ፩ነገ: ፲፮: ፲፩ –፲፫። ፫ነገ: ፩: ፴፱). But for our Lord and Savior, the Incarnate Word, since his Anointer and Ordainer is the Creator and not an earthly creature, he has no physical anointing; instead of oil, the Holy Spirit is called his anointing. “ኢየሱስ ዘእምናዝሬት ዘቀብዖ እግዚአብሔር መንፈሰ ቅዱሰ ወኀይለ” Jesus of Nazareth, whom God anointed with the Holy Spirit and power (ግብ፲: ፴፰. As for being chosen from the people, having taken our nature, it is said, Behold my servant whom I have chosen...and I will exalt my chosen one from my people (ኢሳ፵፪: ፩። መዝ: ፹፰)።. As for being ordained by anointing, receiving the Holy Spirit to become priest, king, prophet, apostle; Christ is called the Second Adam, full of grace, the first of grace, the firstborn of all creation (ኢሳ፲፩: ፪). Just as Jesus Emmanuel is the name of his calling that came forth through the Incarnation, so too Christ is the name of his anointing. The Word, who by his nature has anointing and office and does not need a second birth, is called the firstborn and the first in name to be the Second Adam for the children of Adam and Eve who need to be born again; but the same Word, in his Sonship being Son and in his Anointedness being the Anointed Christian, having become man and been anointed, is called Christ (ዳን፬: ፳፭። ማቴ፩: ፲፮). “ኢይጽሕቅ ቅብዐተ በህላዌሁ፤ አላ በሥምረቱ ተሠጊዎ ነሥአ ቅብዐተ።” He does not need anointing in his being; but by his will, having condescended, he took anointing. For he was anointed through his incarnation (ቄር). “ወተሰምየ ክርስቶስሀ በእንተ ዘተቀብዐ ምስሌነ ከመ ሰብእ ከመ ቃለ ዳዊት ዘይቤ በእንተ ክርስቶስ፤ አፍቀርከ ጽድቀ ወዐመፃ ጸላእከ፤ በእንተ ዝ ቀብዐከ እግዚ አምላክከ በዘይተ ፍሥሓ እምኵሎሙ እሊኣከ እለ እሙንቱ ሱቱፋኒከ፤ ወለሊሁ ውእቱ መንፈስ ቅዱስ” And he was called your Christ because he was anointed with us as a man, as the word of David said concerning ChristYou have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness ¹ beyond all your companions who are your partakers; and that oil is the Holy Spirit (Faith of the Fathers, Cyril). He interpreted the Holy Spirit, which is called the oil of gladness, because wealth and anointing belong to him. But those who say the Son is the Anointing while calling the Holy Spirit oil confuse and mix the mystery of the Incarnate and the Anointed, saying that Christ means the One who is one Person from two Persons, one Nature from two Natures, the Glorified Unity through the Incarnation, and they interpret anointed as incarnated without grammar, without language, without order, without reason; see Anointed and Unity. The Incarnate Word, in his Incarnation, was not anointed with the Holy Spirit, was not filled with the gifts of the Spirit, did not receive grace, was not ordained to priesthood and kingship by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and the glory of his humanity was not glorified—to say this is as false as saying heaven is not heaven and earth is not earth; and these people do not know the name of Christ and teach what is not fitting. “እለሰ የአምኑ ርቱዐ ይሜህሩ ከመ በሥጋሁ ተቀብዐ።” But those who believe rightly teach that he was anointed in his flesh. “እስመ ክርስቶስ ብሂል ቅቡዕ ብሂል።” For Christ means anointed. “ወእፎ ይሰመይ ክርስቶስ ዘኢተቀብዐ” And Saint Cyril rebuked them, saying, How is he called Christ if he was not anointed? And the Apostle also rebuked them (፩: ዮሐ: ፪: ፳፪). Just as in the Old and New Testaments and among the Fathers, it is not said that oil anointed oil, so too the Son himself, being the Anointing himself, was not said to have been anointed by the Son; to say the Son is the Anointing according to the tradition of Nestorius makes the Incarnation a dwelling, and makes the Son, who is Unity, into two, and bestows the name Christ only upon the flesh, taking the Word out of being called Christ and Messiah. Since Anointing and the Anointed, the Dweller and the Dwelling, the Substance and the Accident, the Spirit and the Word are two kinds of words and two distinct Persons, different in name and action, they cannot be called one or referred to by one name in any language, let alone in Geez; it is like licking with the nose or marrying two heads in one hat. The Son, being one Person, one Child through the Incarnation, perfect God and perfect Man, having unity with the Father in being the Anointer and with us in being the Anointed, is called Anointer and Anointed, but is not called Anointing like the Holy Spirit; and the Father should not be called Anointing.

ኰብስ ኮብስ/ Kʷäbs kʷäbs: ኰብሽ/ Kʷäbš; name of a disease; that inflates and swells the body; that destroys and cramps; a body with cramps and weakness. Excessive drunkenness brings trembling and loss of heart; and ወኰብሰ/ kʷäbs and sudden death and consummation (ፍ: ነ: ፶).

ኮቶሊካ/ Kōtōlīkā: (ጽር: ካቶሊኮስ) Catholic, of the Catholic Church. Catholic faith; which is apostolic. “ወያክብርዎ በስም ዐቢይ ዘኮቶሊካ፤ ዘውእቱ ስመ ሊቃናት” And they honor him with the great name of Catholic; which is the name of the bishops (አትና አዋል። ፍ: ነ: ፬).

ኮቶሊክ/ Kōtōlik: (ጽር ካቶሊክ) Name of the church; universal; of all, that is above all.

ኮነ/ Kōnä: To be, to become; to exist. Being the beginning of a matter, it attracts like the verse ይቤ/ yəbē (he said), becoming the heading of a reading. “ወኮነ እምድኅረ ሞተ ሙሴ፤ ተናገሮ እግዚ ለኢያሱ።” And it came to pass after the death of Moses; the Lord spoke to Joshua. “ወኮነ እምድኅረ ሞተ ሳኦል፤ ተመይጠ ዳዊት እምቀትለ ዐማሌቅ።” And it came to pass after the death of Saul; David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites. “ወኮነ በውእቱ መዋዕል፤ ወፅአ ትእዛዝ እምኀበ ቄሳር ንጉሥ” And it came to pass in those days; a decree went out from Caesar the king (ኢያ፩: ፩። ፪ነገ: ፩: ፩። ሉቃ፫: ፩). Secondly, when it is placed on a prophetic verse, its mystery and meaning become firm. To say “ኮነ ያፈቅር፤ ኮነ ይጐይይ፤ ኮነ ይትመዐዕ” kōnä yaʾəfäqqər, kōnä yəgʷäyyəy, kōnä yətmäʿäʿ, means he used to love or he will love, it makes it seem like it happened. Also, the phrase “ዐጸደ ወይን ኮነ ለሰሎሞን” ʿaṣädä wäyn kōnä läsälōmōn (Solomon had a vineyard) is said to have a firm ኮነ/ kōnä; and even if ኮነ/ kōnä is omitted and it is said “ሎቱ ለሰሎሞ” lōtu läsälōmōn (Solomon had), it means he had, he possessed. Thirdly, the negative of his adultery, in which I do not agree, is resolved by multiplying the negatives with ʾīnā, ʾākō, and the existing form; because the speaker and the respondent have placed them out of order. As for me, I was not him “አንሰ ኢኮንኩ ኪያሁ” (ʾīkōnku kīyāhu). It is not good to take the childrens bread and give it to the dogs “ኢኮነ ሠናየ ነሢአ ኅብስተ ውሉድ ወውሂብ ለከለባት።” (ʾīkōnä śänäʾye näsīʾa ḫəbstä wəlūd wäwəhīb läkäläbāt). It was not for you to know the times and the seasons “ኢኮለ ለክሙ ታእምሩ መዋዕለ ወአዝማነ።” (ʾīkōlä läkəmu tāʾəməru mäwāʿəl wäʾäzmānä). You were merchants and travelers “ኦኮንክሙ ነግደ ወፈላሴ።” (ʾōkōnkəmu nägdä wäfälāse). It is not good; not for you; not you; or it means “ኢሠናይ፤ ኢለክሙ፤ ኢአንትሙ፤ ወይም አኮ አንትሙ ነገድ ወፈላሲ” ʾākō ʾäntəmu nägäd wäfälāsi (you are not merchants and travelers) አኮና ኢ/ ʾākō and ʾī are one. Kōnä in Geez attracts when it finds a substitute and a complement; sometimes it also attracts län instead of Geez. And its fruit will be for food, and its leaves for healing (ሕዝ፵፯: ፲፪). There are those who count the resolutions of ኮነ/ kōnä as 30; their evidence is not convincing; much of it is fiction. ኮነና ሀሎ/ Kōnä and hālō (to be, to exist) are somewhat the same in Arabic and Hebrew; Arabic says kāna and means he was, he existed; and Hebrew also says hāyāh and means he was, he existed; so the method of resolving kōnä is numerous because of this. Furthermore, instead of saying “ኮነኒ ኮነነ በቍዐኒ አከለኒ” kōnänī kōnänä bäqʷäʿanī ʾakälänī (he became me, he became us, he satisfied me, he fed me), it says ኮንየ/ kōniyä, which is a translators and scribes error. “ስእነት ብሂለ ኮንየ፤ እሳት ወማይ ኢይብሉ ኮንየ” Śəʾənnät bəhīlä kōniyä; fire and water do not say kōniyä (ምሳ፳፬: ፵) (ዕር፱: ቍ፸፯። ዕር፳፯: ቍ፻፷፰).

(ኢሳ፫: ፲፫። ማቴ፯: ፩። ፩ጴጥ: ፪: ፳፫። ኢዮ፰: ፫).

፡ To work, to punish, to torment. “ኰነንዎ ኵነኔዐቢየ።” They condemned him with a great condemnation. “በብዙኅ ኵነኔ እምድኅረ ኰነንዎ።” After they condemned him with much condemnation. “ወኰነና ለኀጢአትበነፍስቱ” And he condemned sin in his flesh (ስንክ: መስ፲፩። ነሐ፲፩። ሮሜ፷: ፫).

Its name is derived from the combination of ከወወ/ käwwäwä (to surround) and ከበበ/ käbäbä (to encircle) therefore, it says ኮከብ/ kokäb instead of ኮከው/ kokäw. “ኣበዝኅ ዘርዐከ ከመ ኮከበ ሰማይ።” I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven. “ኮከብ እምኮከብ ይኄይስክብሩ።” Star differs from star in glory. “አሰርገወ ሰማየ በከዋክብት።” He adorned the sky with stars. “ከዋክብተ ሰማይ።” Stars of heaven. “ለወርኅ ወለከዋክብት ዘአኰነኖሙ ሌሊተ” For the moon and for the stars that he ordained for the night (ኵፋ: ፳፬። ፩ቆሮ: ፲፭: ፵፩። ድጓ። ኤር፲፱: ፲፫። መዝ: ፻፴፭).
