~ ወ/ we ~

ወ/ Wä [1]: The sixth letter in the Geez alphabet, in the order of አልፍ ቤት/ ʾälf bēt (a, b, g, d) and አበገደ/ ʾäbägädä. Its name is wāwē; its number is six; when it is a numeral, ወ is six; six is called sədəst tu. But the Hebrews consider six as a category and, adding a dot on top of it, they call it six thousand. The meaning of sixth is that its mystery considers Friday and the creation of Friday as a category; it also shows the incarnate Word, the second Adam, and the mystery of the cross; see the meaning of ዋዌ/ wāwē.

[2]: (ሂ: ኒ: ዓዲ) Minor usage. Connecting, joining, dividing; associating. ም And ና; with; ቸልታ ዘተረስዐ/ negligence, forgotten; concluding intention; the total of numbers; from; at the time of; even, although; but; completely; indeed; beautifying; perhaps. When it is and, it is used in everything; he ate and drank, he heard and saw. When it is with, it is used with nouns; Peter and Paul; James and John. When it is used with three names, the first is and, the second is with; Paul and Silas and Timothy. When it is used with many names, it becomes simply and; or it becomes the totality, as in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He arose and left his garment; he was baptized and saved himself; negligence, he left his garment and saved himself. When it is forgotten, it is resolved in reverse; the and becomes the connection where it fell; where it did not fall, it is negligence; let him enter and see; he entered, became ill, and died; he became ill; he went and came; he went and came. Peter was crucified, and so was Andrew; Paul was given a prison, and others were also prisoners; intention; this is when it finishes the former after. When it finishes the latter before, it says, Heaven and earth will pass away; it means both heaven will pass away, and the earth will pass away; it can also be resolved generally as heaven and earth will pass away; but in the unattached form, they say together. The twelve; the seven and the five; the three hundred and eighteen; total. One thousand and two hundred from and. And his birth and his rising; at the time of. He did not give him an inheritance, not even a foots length; even, although. Cyril was justified, but Nestorius was not justified; but. It can also be rather; its mystery is the same; saying, He ate, but did not drink, it means he did not drink. What shall we eat, and what shall we drink? indeed. He went and passed; he wrote and wrote; completely. What makes it completely is the union of those verses, the unity of meaning, but its mystery and profession do not depart from being a connector. When it is beautifying, it is used like from in the third verse; Hear me, and I will tell you; draw near to me, and I will comfort you; do not do evil, and evil will not find you. When it is perhaps; What will you give me, and I will bring him to you? Since ወ is a complete letter, its method and resolution are many; for the rest, see the verbal usage and the history of the letter in the minor usage. Secondly, being a verbal usage, it makes all letters second and seventh. The root of the second and seventh is ወ; see the history of the letter to see how its root is. In Amharic also, it becomes like the ወ/ w of a foreign root; ጠመደ/ ṭämmädä (to tie) ወጥመድ/ wäṭməd (knot). ነበረ/ Näbbärä (to be) ወንበር/ wänbär (chair). ሰፋ/ Säfa (to sew) ወስፌ/ wäsfē (needle). ነፋ/ Näffa (to blow) ወስፌ/ wänfīt (sieve). ዐገመ/ ʿAgämä (to bind) ዋገምት/ wāgämt (promise) and the like.

To waver, to doubt; to be confused; to flutter; of the mind, of the foot, of the tongue; see lōläwä. But the book says täwälawälä instead of wälwälä; since in Amharic ṭäräṭärä and täṭäraṭṭärä (to doubt) are the same, it has made the Geez like the Amharic. The foolish who waver. A weakling who wavers. “አእጋር እለ ይትወላወላ ለገቢረ እከይ።” Feet that waver to do evil. “ላህበ ነድ እንዘ ይትወላወል ወያንሶሱ ውስቴቶሙ” A fiery tongue while it wavers and sets fire within them (አፈ: ተ፳፫። አርጋ። ምሳ፮: ፲፰። ጥበ፲፱: ፳).

ወልድ/ Wäld: (ብ አውላድ፤ ውሉድ ደቂቅ) Son; male, boy. “ድንግል ትፀንስ ወትወልድ ወልደ።” A virgin will conceive and give birth to a son. “ኢያእመራ እስከ አመ ወለደት ወልደ ዘበኵራ።” He did not know her until she had given birth to her firstborn son. “ሀበኒ ውሉደ፤ ወእመ አኮ እመውት” Give me children; otherwise I will die (ማቴ፩: ፳፫: ፳፭። ዘፍ፴: ፩). Its name is neutral; it is said for both grown and not grown. But being called wäld is in two ways; by nature, by action, or by grace; action and grace are one. Instead of saying ውላድ አውላድ/ wəlād ʾawlād like the Arabs, saying ውሉድ/ wəlūd meaning children is customary like ደቂቅ/ däqīq; but the reading and meaning are not considered wrong; see አንስት/ ʾänəsət and ቢጽ/ bīṣə ፀር/ ṣär; this is also like that.

To intertwine, to braid, to lock; of thread, of a braid; its mystery is the same, it does not depart from companionship. ወሸባ/ Wäšäbā (to intertwine) is derived from this.

But the book says አውሥአ/ ʾawśʾa instead of ወሥአ/ wäśʾa; it is not wrong. “ኢታውሥእ ሕሡመ በአፉከ።” Do not utter a harsh word with your mouth. “ሙሴ ያወሥእ ወእግዚ ይሰጠዎ።” Moses answered, and the Lord gave him. “ወአውሥኡ ኵሉ ሕዝብ በይእቲ ስብሐት።” And all the people answered with that glory. “ከመ ታወሥእዎሙ ቃለ ለእለ ይሴአሉክሙ በእንተ ዛቲ” So that you may give an answer to those who ask you about this (ኢሳ፶፰: ፲፫። አርጋ: ፮። ዮዲ፲፭: ፲፬። ፩ጴጥ: ፫: ፲፭).

Secondly, it can be a word of wish and desire, of wonder; (Poem and dirge about the destruction of Gondar) Tewodros came with his eyes wide open; oh, a small bush to hide in. After I followed him around and around, not seeing him; oh, did Gondar remain due to satisfaction or pride? Thirdly, it can be a word of lamentation, of calling; (ግጥም/ poem፤ የበለው እኅት ተማርካ በመተማ ሳለች) ጐዣም አፋፉ ላይ የሚጣራው ማነው፤ ወንድሜ እንደ ኾነ፤ ወይ በለው ወይ በለው። Who is calling on the edge of Gojjam; if it is my brother; ወይ በለው/ oh Bäläw, ወይ በለው/ oh Bäläw.

ውስት ውስቴት ውስተ/ Wəst wəstēt wəstä: (ውስጥ ውሳጤ ውስጠ) Subtle usage; it can mean in, middle, with, to; its meaning in, its mystery does not leave the inside; በ/ bä (in) and ʾእም/ əm (from) agree with it.

In contrast to ውሳጢት/ wəssāṭīt, it lists ውስቴቱ ታ/ wəstētu and tā; and wännā and yā inherit; ጠና/ ṭännā and ተም / täm also inherit; therefore, what was ውስጠ/ wəsṭä is called ውስተ/ wəstä.

The Amharic meaning he understood from ለበወ/ läbbäwä (he understood) comes from this.

Look at ዝኩ/ zəkunə, ዝስኩ/ zəsku, ዝክቱ/ zəktūn; they are the opposite of this. When it is an article, it means; is, was, existed; became; up to ንሕነ/ nəḥnə; all are like this. ውእቱ/ Wəʾətu and ቦ/ bō, ሎ/ lō, ኮነ/ kon, ሀሎ / hälō are companions, they inherit each other; this is known by In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ውእቱ/ Wəʾətu becomes both pronoun and article at once; He who descended is the same as he who ascended. Secondly, by changing the verb, it addresses the distant as near, the near as distant; the singular as plural, the plural as singular; the masculine as feminine, the feminine as masculine. “አንተ ውእቱ ዘይገብር ኵሎ፤ አምላክ ውእቱ ዘለብሰ ሥጋ።” You are the one who does everything; God is the one who clothed himself in flesh. “ማርያም ይእቲ ኪሩቤል፤ ወኪሩቤል እሙንቱ ማርያም ለ በ እምጸዊረ አምሳክ።” Mary is the cherubim; and the cherubim are Mary because of the difficulty of understanding. The first two bring the subject; the latter two reveal the action. But by changing the subject, it addresses each on its own; or it becomes interchangeable. “እመ አምላክ ማርያም ይእቲ፤ ማርያም እመ አምላክ ይእቲ።” Mother of God is Mary; Mary is the Mother of God. “ድንግል ዘተናገራ ኢሳይያስ ማርያም ይእቲ፤ ማርያም ዘተናገራ ኢሳይያስ ድንግል ይእቲ፤ እብን ዘወሀቦ ሰይጣን ለእግዚእነ ኅብስት ውእቱ፤ ኅብስት ዘወሀቦ ሰይጣን ለእግዚእነ እብን ውእቱ።” The virgin whom Isaiah spoke of is Mary; Mary whom Isaiah spoke of is the virgin; The stone that Satan gave to our Lord is bread; The bread that Satan gave to our Lord is stone. When an adjective is far from its noun, it is called interchangeable; an interchangeable adjective also interprets action, thing, nature, and brings the subject, as we said before; being both subject and adjective, it becomes interchangeable when its connector is dropped. Thirdly, in grammar, with every word that agrees in root and adjective, it binds secretly without being sweet or spoken; especially in poetic reading. “ተሠግዎቱ ለቃል ወተጸልቦቱ በሥጋ ያድኅን ዓለመ ወይቤዙ ሰብአ።” The incarnation of the Word and his suffering in the flesh save the world and redeem mankind. “ዘተሰቅለ በቀራንዮ ሥግው አምላከ ጽድቅ ወአኮ ብእሲ ዕሩቅ፤ የውእቱ መመርመሪያ ያድኅንና ይቤዙ፤ አምላክ ጽድቅ” He who was crucified on Golgotha is the incarnate God of righteousness and not a mere man; the test of wəʾətu is that it saves and redeems; they are the God of righteousness.
