Thank you for your work, Tony. The translations and the transcripts help. Your videos are also a great source of Phoenician vocabulary. I am wondering, how close is Arabic to Phoenician?
@TheAncientScribes Thank you for your comment! Phoenician is very close to Hebrew and Arabic. Probably more to Hebrew than Arabic. All are semitic languages as you know!
excellent work my friend Tony :) here we can hear the typical cyprus dialect , which is neither punic , closer to the classic phoenician but it shares punic characteristics , the name Reshep survived in a lebanese place "Rashaf" also in south israel as a place name "arsuf", the name Resheph had many different pronounciations Raship, Reship, Reshep, Rashup, Arshep, Arshup :) excellent work again :)
@MrViTopol Thank you for your comment. What do you think about Aurum Harutz for Gold? Am I right in claiming that the origin of the Latin word for Gold is Phoenician?
@ahhc07 yes you're right in claiming the Phoenician origin for (Aurum) Gold in the Phoenician ''Harutz'' , which Harutz is also used in poetic Hebrew for gold. the same goes for the ''Greek'' ''Ayen[os]'' - Wine. which originates in Hebrew (or/and Phoenician) ''Yayin''... add to the list the ''Ocean[us]'' which comes directly from the Hebrew or Phoenician ''Agan'' - Bassein , 'Cup', 'Pond' even today is used in Hebrew for the Mediterannian sea. 'Agan' in Phonician was pronounced as ''Ageen'':)
@ahhc07 the Greek word for Gold is Hris[os], the direct borowing from the Hebrew and Phoenician 'Harutz' the Romans either distorted the Harutz or their Aurum is from the Hebrew/Phonician ''Or'' - ''Light''. there're NO Greek/Latin/English /German'' words ! From the Germanic messenger god ''Baldr'' who is none other than the Hebrew ''Baldar'' - Currier, to the Kreml[in] (correct one is Krem'l) - 'Kerem El' - 'Sacred ground of El'. to Brazil, being named ''Barzel'' for its iron ore riches etc :).

Maybe you could help me out ... what does CIS stand for in the context of classical studies? Thanks!

@Malkibaal Reshef in modern Hebrew is a sparkling flame, and a burning deadly wind. from the root 'Rashaf'' - ''to burn shooting out sparks''.
