” ‘KHABS’ – a Re en Kamt (ancient Black Egyptian) word meaning ‘shine or sparkle like a star.
‘KHABISA’ – a Sesotho word meaning ‘decorate’, ‘make glitter’ “

Though this looks convincing, this would not be the proper method of comparative linguistics, this may be a borrowing, it may be chance, and the capitalizations or capitalized letters pose other problematic issues. The proper transliteration would be < xAbs > NOT ‘khabs’, Budges transcription scheme has been long outdated.

“Are we saying having western/aKKKademic educational qualifications conferred on you is a sine qua non for you to have these Afrikan-Centred titles invoked to you as simply replacement titles?
