Download or read book Sukun written by Kazim Daniel and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kazim Ali is a poet, novelist, and essayist whose work explores themes of identity, migration, and the intersections of cultural and spiritual traditions. His poetry is known for its lyrical and expressive language, as well as its exploration of themes such as love, loss, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. "Sukun" means serenity or calm, and a sukun is also a form of punctuation in Arabic orthography that denotes a pause over a consonant. This Sukun draws a generous selection from Kazim's six previous full-length collections, and includes 35 new poems. It allows us to trace Ali's passions and concerns, and take the measure of his art: the close attention to the spiritual and the visceral, and the deep language play that is both musical and plain spoken. [sample poem] The Fifth Planet Come, early summer in the mountains, and come, strawberry moon, and carry me softly in the silver canoe on wires to the summit, where in that way of late night useless talk, the bright dark asks me, "What is the thing you are most afraid of?" and I already know which lie I will tell. There were six of us huddled there in the cold, leaning on the rocks lingering in the dark where I do not like to linger, looking up at the sharp round pinnacle of light discussing what shapes we saw—rabbit, man, goddess—but that brightness for me was haunted by no thing, no shadow at all in the lumens. What am I, what am I, I kept throwing out to the hustling silence. No light comes from the moon, he's just got good positioning and I suppose that's the answer, that's what I'm most afraid of, that I'm a mirror, that I have no light of my own, that I hang in empty space in faithful orbit around a god or father neither of Whom will ever see me whole. I keep squinting to try to see Jupiter which the newspaper said would be found near the moon but it's nowhere, they must have lied. Or like god, there is too much reflection, headsplitting and profane, scraping up every shadow, too much light for anyone to see.

Download or read book The Sun Rises written by Stuart Blackburn and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-03-02 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the centre of this study is a shaman's chant performed during a three-week long feast in the eastern Himalayas. The book includes a translation of this 12-hour text chanted in Apatani, a Tibeto-Burman language, and a description of the events that surround it, especially ritual exchanges with ceremonial friends, in which fertility is celebrated. The shaman's social role, performance and ritual language are also described. Although complex feasts, like this one among Apatanis, have been described in northeast India and upland Southeast Asia for more than a century, this is the first book to present a full translation of the accompanying chant and to integrate it into the interpretation of the social significance of the total event.
Download or read book A Historical Dictionary of Yukaghir written by Irina Nikolaeva and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-12-22 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Historical Dictionary of Yukaghir has two main purposes. First, it is intended as a relatively complete source of information on the lexicon of Yukaghir. Tundra and Kolyma Yukaghir are closely related, highly endangered languages spoken in the extreme North-East of Siberia. No modern comprehensive lexicographic description of these languages is available for the international linguistic community. The dictionary presents all known varieties of Yukaghir in comparative format. Some of the materials included come from published sources, others were obtained by the author through fieldwork and are published for the first time. The dictionary also contains examples of now extinct early forms of Yukaghir, which began to be recorded in the late 17th century. Second, the dictionary provides a first reconstruction of the common ancestor of all known Yukaghir varieties. The proto-Yukaghir stems are established based on internal reconstruction, comparison between various Yukaghir idioms, and external data. Although the dictionary does not attempt to provide etymologies for all Yukaghir words, it includes possible cognates of some Yukaghir stems from other languages, mainly Uralic and Altaic. Since Yukaghir forms are not only cited in their modern shape but are reconstructed, the dictionary will provide a foundation for future etymological work and contribute to investigating the genetic affiliation of Yukaghir, usually classified as isolated. The book will also be useful for linguists interested in the distant genetic relations between language families and the reconstruction of the ethnic and linguistic situation in prehistoric northern Asia.

Book excerpt: This study of an oral tradition in northeast India is the first of its kind in this part of the eastern Himalayas. A comparative analysis reveals parallel stories in an area stretching from central Arunachal Pradesh into upland Southeast Asia and southwest China. The subject of the volume, the Apatanis, are a small population of Tibeto-Burman speakers who live in a narrow valley halfway between Tibet and Assam.

Download or read book The astonishing language of the Creator written by Nurul Kabir and published by Nurul Kabir. This book was released on 2020-02-14 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book for the first time in human history I show definite proof that the script of the Arabic language is the Divine language. In this language word meanings are given by meanings hidden in the shape of the individual alphabets and they draw a picture of the word in question. This built-in picture dictionary enormously simplifies language learning by beginners. The definitions of the words are provided on a scientific basis and this principle extends to words for atom or butterfly which depict the structure of the atom or butterfly’s life-cycle, unbelievable as it may sound. The findings of this book imply that the theories of language development in humans based on mimicry of animal sounds are incorrect and that Arabic can be learned in a simpler and efficient way. The book also describes the difference between lughatul Arabia or the present day Modern Standard Arabic and Lisanun Arabiun which is the true Divine language of the Creator as described in the Qur'an. The intelligent single letter meanings in words, built-in picture dictionary, and scientific explanations will make it easier for learning the language of the Creator and knowing Divine secrets and directions both in science and religion.

Book excerpt: Pertemuan tanpa diduga di alam maya membuatkan hubungan Minah Spanar dan Mat Skru bertambah erat. Sehari tidak berchatting terasa dunia seakan tidak ceria walaupun mereka tidak pernah bersua muka. Spanar sering berkongsi rasa dan cerita dengan Skru tanpa sebarang curiga. Skru yang bertindak sebagai pendengar dan penasihat membuatkan jiwa Spanar sentiasa tenang. Setiap kali dilanda rindu, kepada Skru, dia meluahkan semuanya. Sikap Skru membuatkan Spanar mengingati Amin, lelaki yang dikenalinya tujuh tahun yang lalu. Dia pernah ada rasa sayang pada Amin, namun mereka terpaksa berpisah kerana perbezaan taraf. Akhirnya, Amin pergi akibat rasa terhina. Dan selama itu jugalah, dia menjadi penunggu yang cukup setia. Sesungguhnya, perpisahan itu amat menyakitkan. Alangkah indahnya jika selepas perpisahan, wujudnya pertemuan. Pasti tiada insan yang merana dan tiada jiwa yang menderita. Dia ingat lagi pesan Amin; “Amin harap Reen semai ikatan hubungan kita dengan baja kejujuran dan keikhlasan supaya bercambah benih kasih dan sayang. Amin doakan kejayaan Reen. Ada jodoh kita akan bertemu kembali…”
