Under the Lens
The English word PORTMANTEAU is defined as, "[French porte-manteau, from porter to carry + manteau mantle]. Chiefly British, a traveling bag or
case, originally one adopted for use on horseback; now, especially a suitcase." [Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 1947,
p. 774].
This etymology is a
bogus one and its attribution of the origin of this word to "French"
is deceptive and misinformative. The source of the word is Turkish
language and culture.
The word PORTMANTEAU, when rearranged letter-by-letter as "MEN-AT-TORPA-U", is the
restructured, Anglicized, disguised and distorted Turkish expression "MEN AT TORBA" (MEN
AT TORBASI, HEYBE) meaning "I am a travel
bag for horseback". The proper
Turkish name for a bag that goes onto a horse is "HEYBE" which is a double-bag made
of piled Turkish carpet embellished with hand-woven
designs and is meant to hang at the rear of the saddle.
The Turkish word MEN means "I am", AT means "horse" and TORBA means "bag". The last word U (O) meaning "it is" has been used as an additional wrapping
and it is not needed for concept definition. Thus, someone who is trained to
usurp Turkish expressions and anagrammatize them into English as "English
words", took the concept of the Turkish traveling bag of HEYBE and redefined it with the Turkish
expression "MEN-AT-TORPA O" and
anagrammatized it into PORTMANTEAU and then deceptively
attributed it to the French language. This way, a stolen Turkish text, after
being restructured, is sold to the world as being French in origin and adopted
into English. This is deception at its zenith point!
This kind of
stealing from the Turanian civilization has been going on from at least the times
of the Babylonians who stole almost everything from the Turko-Sumerian
civilization, and additionally by the kabal priests of Greeks, Romans and
Semites who stole most everything from the ancient Turanian
civilizations.
