The Ethiosemitic languages seem to be the only ones to apply/have applied “mälək” and “aməlak” exclusively in reference to deities, as other Semitic languages utilise(d) words that share their shared root, “mlk”, to solely refer to kings and/or princes. What are your thoughts?

Evidence that the word mälək was also once a word for king can be found in the Gəʿəz name for the Biblical character of Melchizedek, referred to in Gəʿəz as “Mäləkä Ṣedeḳ/መልከ፡ጼዴቅ”.

How did the broken plural form of “mälək/መልክ”, a Geʽez/#Gəʿəz/#ግዕዝ term that originally meant “king”, become the singular form of the word for deity, “aməlak/#አምላክ”? Could it have been because newly-evangelised #Aksum|ite Christians struggled to break an old habit?

In the library of Qeddus Yosēf Church in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, this is one of several of books that were donated to the church by Zawditu, Empress of Ethiopia, who was born on April 29, 1876 CE and died on April 2, 1930 CE.

This Gospel book opens with a photograph of Crown Prince Tafari Makonnen, who would go on to become Emperor Ḫāyla Śellāsē.

The book, printed by Tafari Makonnen Printing Press, also contains commentary on the Gospels and several full-page miniatures. The book's forward is attributed to Prince Tafari Makonnen.

EMML 899 is one of several books purchased by Zawditu, Empress of Ethiopia, and given by her to Qeddus Yosēf Church in Addis Ababa: vhmml.org/readingRoom/view/202730

I am proud to support Hamere Berhan's upcoming exhibition and in their endeavour to keep the Ethiopian manuscript culture alive. Hamere Berhan is the last workshop in Ethiopia that is working hard to preserve the art of traditional manuscript making and icon painting.

The education of Ethiopians on their ethnohistorical background is very important in the modern day, and to encourage them to see the land through the paradigms of the many ethnic groups that inhabit our country is a very ideal place to start in deconstructing ethnic strife.
