About the Berber surname

Berber means in the Byblical langauge a Goose,so Berber people in the Maghreb,especially the
Beraber in narrow sense ,and also the Beriberi, may be the successors of the people of Genze-Rik,
king of the Wandals ,of the Hasding dynasty or tribe ,called Ruk-Ganzu Ndori in Rwanda ,
Andruga by the Ma'di ,and Chinggis ,that is King-Geese by Mongols ,ruling until about 162 AD,
that would correspond to 474 of the Seleucid aera of begin in 312 BC,and this is the correct number
as to Genserik,I believe ,to 1227 of the Northern aera of begin in 1065 BC ,and to 1549 of the one
currently used ,of begin in 1387 BC .

Ruga-Nzu alias And'-Ruga may also be identical with Ruga ,or Rua ,king of the Hun ,until about 438
according to a Parthian aera of begin in 274 BC,used paralel for some years with the Seleucid one ,
and with Andreas ( Anda-Rewa ) ,king of Hungaria ,after whom Rwanda itself may be named .
As it is known ,he was involved in battles labelled as cruzades ,in the Nile valley .
He was also Alexander ,king of Georgia ,until 1511 of the younger old European aera of begin in 1349 BC ,
that also has been dropped after the unification of the different calendars used by peoples of different
cultural and historical background,and of different political goals ,in the early 1600s ,according to the
current counting ,at least in Europe .
In Peru of the Holy Land he was known either as Sinche Roca, the equivalent of Alexander ( Sancho )
used there ,or later also as Ruminyawi ,that would correspond to Rau Mihnea of Romania .

He thus appears to have been the chief of Hasding ,that is of Hasid or Husid or Hussite movement
at that time ,named after Iesus ( Jens-Hus ) ,that is Iohannes of Gischala ,titled also Khristos after a
maternal ancestor of his ,Iohannes Hyrkanos,who was called K'ist in the Caucas ,and also Lunt-Ater ,
that is Goose-Father in Ugra .
His parents apparently were ,nominally,as they say,Olympia alias Mariammé ,daughter of Héródés,
and Ióséph ,called also Lébi ,son nominally of Ióséph ,Héródés" brother ,or rather of the same Héródés
from the wife of his deceased brother .
Gischala also implies the name of a goose,which is Gisca in Romanian .

Hyrkania at the Hyrkanian ,now called Caspian see,is approximately the same as Kazahstan ,so Hyrkan
was called by Arabians Yak-Qazah .
He might indeed have ruled in Kazahstan and in parts of Tibet,the home of the Yak ,and at the ancestors
of Yakut people of Siberia .
This territory originally was occupied by the sons of A'ad-a-Yam-Ma ,called also Arga-Wa-Shaya,
ancestor of Adyami or ShiCawi people ,who originally are the Boar race .
Later the children of his brother ,the Sunna ancestor ,also entered the region ,and mixed with their wild
relatives,first at least territorrially,but later ,at the emerge of the mutant nobility from both parties ,effectually too .
Both brothers were the sons of A-Wat-Sek-Ha-Qa ,that is the first Skytha ( Sek-Qa-ya-A-Wat-Ha ) ,
who was called Huni in the ancient Aigypt .
Sons of Awa-Sharra-'Ale arrived at the Himalaya in about 1666 BC ,after leaving Aigypt ,where they had
stayed for 430 years ,and after wandering for another 40 years in the "desert" ,which might have been
Europe and Eurasia,or even that of Qazahstan .

Berber peoples ,speakers of the original Berber language are successors of the people of A'ad-a-Yamma's
kingdom and of his family ,originating from Central Asia ,Tubet ,Turkestan ,and other nearby regions .
In majority ,their ancestors did not appear to have come with Genzerik ,only some 500 years ago,
but much earlier ,but this might have the occasion Berber demonym prevailed over the others ,
for example Adjami and ShiCawi ,because of the reason described above .
It is also similar to Barbar ,which might have been used to anyone of no Hellén culture and descent,
including the Wild Boars too .

Wandala people in Mandara regiion may also be in some sense of Wandal origin ,In a dialect spoken
by them YAEKE means ,just as YEKE in Mongolian ,big ,so this is one evidence that supports the connection
of Mongol and Wandal peoples and of their rulers .There may be many more .
