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 NOT ‘khabs’, Budges transcription scheme has been long outdated.

I can’t keep working the same way when the opportunity for improvement has just presented itself. I respect knowledge especially coupled with correct application. I uphold the sanctity of precision and correctness. You’re a great Linguist. Being your student would be my greatest delight and honour. You earned my unreserved respect when I watched your whole presentation on ancient Afrikan origins of the term ‘Black’ as conceptualized by our Ancestors as a form of identity llong before coming into contact with kraKKKas our enemies. Teach me!
