[Archived]Oera Linda Book and the Great Flood

Right, I shoul be more specific. The OLB does not mention any activity of the Romans with regard to people living in the Gaulic and Germanic regions (inluding the Frisians and the occupation of Britannia). The only reference to the Romans are the Punic wars. In the OLB it all happened before the Romans passed the Alps, which Otharus seems not to understand. I just wonder, why the old Frisians did not claim the foundation of Rome as a Frisian city like they did with Athens.

But the OLB DOES mention exactly that:

From Sandbach's translation:

The Romans, moreover, live at enmity with the Phœnicians; and their priests, who wish to assume the sole government of the world, cannot bear the sight of the Gauls. First they took from the Phœnicians Marseilles—then all the countries lying to the south, the west, and the north, as well as the southern part of Britain—and they have always driven away the Phœnician priests, that is the Gauls, of whom thousands have sought refuge in North Britain.

Simple.

Because they didn't.

Also, why would they? Rome was built by troops (Far Krekalanders) who had returned from Troy - it was never Frisian.

Just a simple line for those who still doubt, that the OLB has been written by J.H. Halbertsma, or even think that the OLB is authentic medieaval prose:

You convinced me, but it happened long before Hannibal surpassed the Alps and Caesar tried to conquer the Germani, Batavii and Frisii, beyond the present scope of the OLB.

Yes, i'll try my best. Maybe in relation with the text below from OLB: Gosa's Advice

Unless we attach again the guts to the words, meaning not talking about Liberty as Liber-ties (something where -tig books are being written) but the rebeluous spirit to break free from bondage (we have accomplished on material level, now on spiritual -> by means of the common 'sense', wat zin heeft het, the is-sens, dat maakt sense).

...

Lat-in as the opposite twisted letters of Ni-tal, which means a 'new language' in Dietsch (ny tael). But so far was clear i think :-)

For me the true meaning behind this view is that the Latin/Greek/All other Babylonian languages are indeed new languages, and intentionaly brought to live to bring people in chaos by means of disrupting the words in use from their original meaning leaving a language with meaningless words and thus meaningless talks in the truth sense about the history of mankind.

Mostly done in late middleages by unpious Monks paid by the wicked rulers of the people (even now, even now people just believe what they are being told or what is written down by authority)

...

The same as we are talking french when children are not considered to follow our conversation, the inventors of Latin knew more about it's deceitfull compositions than their fellowman.

And said f.e. to the people that Aristoteles was an ancient sage from Greece. While in fact it was a contemporary and pedantic entity to give ancient background for a new and twisted worldvision. Many people have a clue about the impossible 'intellectual' but materialistic inspired truths coming from 'it', few have a clue that the name is pronounced as 'Erwisthetalles' (beter) and that this really makes sense as it says 'He knew it all, better than the rest' -> so better live according our sage's views and all that follows :-)

...

Unless we attach again the guts to the words, meaning not talking about Liberty as Liber-ties (something where -tig books are being written) but the rebeluous spirit to break free from bondage (we have accomplished on material level, now on spiritual -> by means of the common 'sense', wat zin heeft het, the is-sens, dat maakt sense).

Very interesting!

This material is hard to explain, but I think I see what you mean and I basically agree.

There is no better proof than 1:1.

So what is your proof?

Jean de La Fontaine (1621 - 1695) wrote a fable about a frog, that wanted to be as big as an ox, and blew up himself.

With your logic, I just 'proved' that La Fontaine wrote the OLB.

You just demonstrated wonderfully how desperately weak the hoax-theory 'proof' actually is.

I already said things don't add up: the time line is wrong. What the OLB says about the Romans is anachronistic.

+++

EDIT:

The only additions to the OLB family chronicle after 558 BC (Book of Adela's followers) BC are the letters from Hidde (1256 AD) and from Liko (803 AD) at the start of the OLB as we know it.

If we asssume nothing has been added after 558 BC to the narrative itself, we have a problem.

If we assume members of the OLB family did add to the chronicle/narrative itself but without mentioning they did (anonymous) it could explain some things, like certain events and the insertion of modern-looking words or even the use of the more modern Old Frisian language as we know it from around the 13th century AD.

And the last case, however, would tell us that the OLB wasn't just copied over and over again, but rewritten (with additions) in a more modern language everytime it was copied.

OLB: Toads (POGA) blow up themselves, frogs (FORSKA) say "work, work".

In fact, the fragment is interesting, because it points to the solution of a mystery that 'official' etymology never explained:

The etymology of "pochen" (dutch for 'to bluff'), the origin of the word 'poker'.

  1. Did Halbertsma also mention "POGA" or a word similar to that?
    The word might be related to boha (=Dutch poeha - pochen, snoeven, druk- of dikdoenerij). OLB Page 239: Nu zal men zien, waarop al dat boha uitgeloopen is. - Hjud skil maen sjan hwêr vppa al thaet bâ hêi ûthlâpen is.
    Een niet meer bekend woord in het Oera Linda Boek is boha (= boeha, meer bekend als poeha - drukdoenerij, drukte om niets, ophef, enz.) in de zin: Nu zal men zien, waarop al dat boha uitgeloopen is. Het woord wordt niet door J.G. Ottema vertaald of uitgelegd. Het komt voor in het verouderde spreekwoord 'Het is beter, eens een groot boha te maken, dan alle dagen met gevouwen handen te liggen' (ca. 1860). Het woord boha brengt ons in elk geval bij Joost Halbertsma. Op 10 juli 1822 schreef hij in Vaderlandsche Letteroefeningen: 'Het Vriesche geyen stemt in klank en beteekenis overeen met het IJslandsche gèyen, blaffen, uitlagchen, bespotten; en, wat hier alles afdoet, de Zuidhoekers gebruiken het in die beteekenis: te Warns althans zegt men nog, wat he'st' ien gegey! 'wat hebt gij een gepoch, gesnork of gelach! wat maakt gij daar een boha over!' Joost Halbertsma zal wel niet de enige zijn geweest, die het woord boha gebruikte, maar diens relatie met de volkstaal in het Oera Linda Boek valt wel zeker te leggen.

Nl. vorsch, old Eng. frosk, currently bastardised in frog, Sf. frósk, Lf. froásk

...

AHA! Now you're contradicting yourself.

You have stated before that Halbertsma loved old-English and he obviously loved Frisian.

He did not think much of Dutch (Hollandic or Netherlandic).

In your quote, Halbertsma mentions varieties in language for "frog":

Old-english: frosk, bastardised into frog

City-Frisian: frósk

Land-Frisian: froásk

(not mentioned; German: frosch)

Dutch: vorsch

Note that (19th century) Dutch ('Netherlandic') is the only variety where R is placed after O!

Also note that the Oldfrisian dictionaries from 1786, 1832 and 1840 did not include "frosk" or "forsk".

Now look at the spelling in OLB: "FORSKA".

This spelling suggests that the Dutch spelling is more authentic than Old-english, German and (both city- and land-) Frisian.

This (using Knul's own 'logic') is proof against Halbertsma's supposed involvement in the supposed creation of the OLB.

Could be, but the OLB spelling "BÁHÉI" does not suggest this.

POG = bag, bladder

POGA, POGGA = blow up, bluff (dutch: pochen), exaggerate

POHA, BOHA = exaggeration

Most probably related too: "pokken" (pox).

pock

O.E. pocc "pustule," from P.Gmc. *puh(h)- "to swell up, blow up" (cf. Du. pok, Low Ger. poche), from PIE root *bhu- "to swell, to blow."

http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=pocks&searchmode=none

The OLB "POGA" is a frog. I had to think of the Latin "bucca" or the Spanish "boca" meaning 'mouth'. A wide mouth (think about this: "to have a big mouth" or to bluff) is one of the typical characteristics of a frog (and of a toad).

The OLB "POGA" is a frog.

So what would be the difference between POGA (in other fragment spelled as POGGA) and FORSKA?

IMO it makes more sense that POGA means toads (padden) here.

Sandbach used "toad", not "frog" for his translation of POGA.

Poga blêsath hjara selva vppa, aend hja ne mügath nawet than krupa.

The toad blows himself out, but he can only crawl.

And that is actually toad behaviour: a frog will jump off when threatened, a toad will inflate itself because it can't jump like a frog and is quite slow.

So POGA = toad, FORSKA = frog ('Du: 'vors').

I told you before that Halbertsma wrote the OLB in DUTCH and then tranlated it into Oldfrisian using both Dutch and Frisian words and expresions. No contradiction at all. By the way pod, podde, pogge and poge are modern Frisian words for Dutch pad..That the Dutch spelling would be more authentic is purely nonsens. Did you ever hear about the liquidae l and r ?

Following your train of thoughts, I imagine Halbertsma translating his Dutch version into (a reconstruction of) Oldfrisian.

You have argued before that he was a Frisian nationalist who loved Old-english.

Now why would he spell FORSK (like Dutch 'vorsch') and not FROSK, as in Frisian and Old-english?

There are many more examples in the OLB where words are more similar to Dutch, when an obvious Frisian version was also available. Within your 'theory', this does not make sense at all.
