From the very first sentence of this work, it must be
made quite clear that the enclosed research and the
results it engendered would not have been possible
without, first, the voluminous documentation of
archaic terms collected and classified by Heinrich
Karl Brugsch in his “Dictionnaire Geographique de
l’Ancienne Egypte” (1879), the most serious and
complete set of information on ancient Nilotic
territories available to this date. Brugsch wrote his
dictionary in French, though he was German, to make
it “accessible to the greatest number of scholars
possible.” Had it not been compiled in the French
language, I would not have been able to utilize this
important work which illuminated a variety of
meanings,
Secondly, but on no lesser level, the comparative
aspect of the enclosed study would not have been
possible without the generous participation and
linguistic contribution of Professor Hassan Ouzzate
of the University of Ibn Zhor, Agadir, Morocco, in
regards to Amazigh roots and Modern Amazigh
(Tamazight.) I am indeed deeply grateful to both of
these scholars for guiding this research and giving it
the meaning it acquired, step by step.
