Maggie & Ashur,

You're actually both correct. You're each giving only one part of the meaning of this word.

The root of the word you are looking for is (read right to left): r-m-g (resh-meem-gamal). From this root we get words like gmeera and goomra. Goomra is a hot coal. A slight change of pronunciation as we sometimes do and we get "komer," which is the same thing and is a legitimate different pronunciation used in complement in Urmia dialect which is the closest surviving dialect to Ancient Assyrian (Akkadian). In Arabic, it is jamer (a hard "j" like "jack").

So to say one is gmeera can mean many things. Robert Paine Smith (listing all the derivatives from this root) says it can (1) mean "to destroy someone from off the earth." *Notice this one is where we get the idea of hot coals raining upon someone or fire raining down upon somebody to where it consumes and destroys him.* (2) Used correctly, it can mean "making an end." (3) Used correctly (in the respective form), it can mean "to heat over red hot coals." (4) To be accomplished, to come to pass (as prayers, dreams). (5) To fail, be destroyed. (6) To accomplish. (7) To do away with, destroy. (8) A perfect making, perfect, perfection.

So it can mean many things. It can mean one is perfected in his/her work, one is engulfed in fire, etc. Let's say there's a person who has a "sanat" (which is also our word) and this person has worked in that profession perfecting his craft/work, then he is gmeera. Let's say ones hands have become callous from hard work or his hands or entire body can withstand hard work, that's person is gmeera or his hands are gmeere.

Gmeera is not only swadaya (i.e. Urmia dialect) but is used in Ninewa language (Aramaic), the "Aramaic" of the western Assyrians (Ashuroyo), those in Hakkari, and those in Urmia. As I stated above, Arabic (which was developed by Assyrians) uses the same word just pronounced differently. There is no real "Arabic" except for the original Nabatean. The language of the original Qur`an is 100% Assyrian. It was not written in Nabatean. It was also not originally written in today's modern-day Arabic which is only 500 years old and is a simplified version of the Qur`anic one.

The key to everything is language. No political party or anything can unite the way language can. Language is the most powerful weapon. Period.


KHAYA ASHUR,

Don
