1.3 Kaaps

1.3 Kaaps Copyright © 26.12.2024 by Peter Snyders G

Suppose you speak Kaaps – or whatever language you speak - and you meet up with someone who speaks isiXhosa. How are you going to communicate if you do not know anything about isiXhosa and the Xhosa have also never heard Kaaps? (This is what happened when the Dutch and the Khoikhoi first met.) Use your experience.

Stay blessed and never forget that you are the source of your abundance.

Pointers: 

The words underlined are worth Googling. Add to this list Science and Spirituality; Science and Non-duality; Suprememastertv.com;

If you can pick up CTV (Cape Town TV), tune in for the Science and Non-duality (SAND) talk on Sundays.

You are going to need the best book on Kora (the name of the Khoikhoi language during the early Cape). Download this book at https://sahistory.org.za/archive/kora-lost-khoisan-language-early-cape-and-gariep-menan-du-plessis.

Read the first five pages of Chapter Three (3). 

On the second page (of Chapter 3), you will find something which most – if not all – linguists miss. This will be the root of our task about communication. Every contribution you make will enhance the root. Remember, there is nothing wrong with spontaneous music! It will also give us the first rules of why we speak the way we do. For those of you who do not have enough data to download the whole book, Kora, we will attach Chapter 3 a few days after this post. 

Also, look at the Kora words used as examples of the vowels. Or look at the dictionaries. 

It is out of this communication that a pidgin language (also called a trading language) is born. This is where Kaaps has its origin.

For the Spiritual System we are using, you can search: The Six Indian Philosophies. After mentally scanning this download, search for Nyaya (School of Philosophy). To get an idea of the scientific method you are using, casually read up on Perception and get a rough idea of Inference, in Nyaya, for now. 

The Masters of spiritual practice always said that their teaching is Spiritual Science. Now that our science has recognised and embraced this, and Western scientists even now say that Buddha Gautama is the greatest scientist, we, too, are convinced that the Spiritual Masters are the greatest authorities on truth. Please expect such references to become a regular practice. 

This closes our Introduction to Kaaps. Next, we will look at how the Dutch and Kora parents produced the child, Pidgin-Kaaps. The Khoisan did not start speaking Pidgin-Kaaps with Jan van Riebeeck. We create the situation with Van Riebeeck because we have access to this. 

There were Dutch stranded at Mouille Point for four months. The Khoisan in the area would have assisted them. There were many meetings with Dutch, English, with Portuguese, French, and Danish to a lesser degree. We will handle Before Van Riebeeck when the current attachments end. Janssen, Proot, and their team were stranded for a year at Milnerton. The Khoisan assisted them in several ways and learned some of the Dutch language (Hollands), which they adapted and entered into their pidgin.

We are using the scientific system, where we leave out everything not needed. This way, we can know what happened during those other meetings of the Khoisan with the Dutch. In this way, all pidgins have their beginning.
