” ‘KHABS’ – a Re en Kamt (ancient Black Egyptian) word meaning ‘shine or sparkle like a star.
‘KHABISA’ – a Sesotho word meaning ‘decorate’, ‘make glitter’ “
– Itumeleng Makale, ‘The Dictionary of Intra-Afrikan Linguistic Commonalities’, Manuscript (Coming Soon)

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 NOT ‘khabs’, Budges transcription scheme has been long outdated.

Keep working, I began the same way

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!

dwA, brother, Abibitumi are in the works of creating the ‘Negro-Egyptian linguistics’ syllabus for the Afrikan language courses, it will be available soon. Keep working, also, they do have historical linguistic MOOC courses you can take which are 8 weeks, that can give an intermediate beginners breakdown that’s needed for this type of study, or enroll in a university program. Here is a historical linguistic course that can possibly assist you with having some type of formal knowledge of the methods that must be applied.

The model that established IE language family is the same type of model or method that can be applied to the language you are attempting to show relatedness with.
