David

Hello Jane955,

I didn't want to move to far off topic over on the David talk page, so I thought I'd ask here. You say that "Uriah" means "ruler" or "leader" in the Yevusi language. But where does this idea come from. As far as I know, nothing written in Yevusi (if there ever was a Yevusi language) has been preserved. So how could we know what the names mean? Is this based on some kind of theory about Uriah being related to the Hurrian ewir? Alephb (talk) 13:58, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello Alephb, Moshe Yahalom majored in archaeology & biblical studies. He wrote a series of books called "The secular bible". I took this from Yahalom's book that is titled: "King David myth or History?". He also explains the meaning of important names such as Uriah. It is important to see the words spelled in Hebrew. Basically to answer your question, the biblical writers (years later) made a mistake with the nikud (punctuation), but the letters mean "Leader" in Yevusit.--Jane955 (talk) 18:39, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

I found the answer to your second question on page13. Yevusit* was a “lost language” at the time when the scribes added punctuation to the text.

According to archaeology, it is known that the meaning of the word Evri* or Ervai in Yevusit is ruler, King or leader. So, even though it is a lost language the meaning of this word is known to archaeologists.

כאן הוא קורה לשפה חורית במקום יבוסית*

אֶוְרִי או אִרְוִי*

TransJordan

"Under the terms of the McMahon-Hussein correspondence and Sykes-Picot agreements, Transjordan was to be part of an Arab state or confederation of Arab states. In 1918, the British military retreated from Trans-Jordan, in an indication of their political ideas about the future of the territory, which according to their position was designated to be part of the Arab Syrian state."

This is about transjordan (today's Jordan), the region East of the Jordan river. The British were to oversee the transition from Ottoman control to Jewish control in the region west of the Jordan river. MAP --Jane955 (talk) 17:01, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

You aren't bothered by a page that says only Christians are open to the facts? Zero 14:26, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

I didn't notice that. I added the link for the maps.--Jane955 (talk) 15:09, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Canvassing

"I asked editors from the Hebrew page to help here" — this sort of thing is not allowed. You expect editors of the Hebrew wiki to be more sympathetic to your point of view, so you asked them for help. Please read WP:CANVAS for the type of notifications that are acceptable.

Stop deleting talk page comments

Per WP:ARCHIVENOTDELETE " do not delete the content, even your own". You have done this more than once, even after being reverted and informed of this. - Galatz גאליץ 13:07, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

It does not contribute to the page. I feel like I am talking to myself since I am the only person working on this page. Its ridiculous. At this point it might be better to delete the page, unless some Israeli editors join. Galatz, who hired you to be the Misplaced Pages police?--Jane955 (talk) 14:04, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
