Nama Anda kurang umum atau sering salah disebut? Bacakan saja nama Anda sesuai ejaan fonetik abjad versi NATO berikut ini. Biasanya CS Call Center, Hotel, Airline dll sering menggunakannya. Memang sih ada sebagian orang yang tidak tahu ejaan fonetik seperti ini. Seperti kejadian beberapa tahun lalu saat saya menelepon salah satu RS di Penang, resepsionisnya kebingungan saat kubacakan nama pasien. “Apa itu Tango, India, Alfa ….dst “, tanyanya bingung.

…this is usa military alfabet and has no linguistic value. it’s a means of spelling out words when
sender or transmitter are weak or there is interference, e.g., alfa bravo echo=abe.
send me, if you please, words in your language
for: water, stone, fire, house, red, god and goddess, mountain, wind, dragon. thank you.

I speak Indonesian..
water = air, stone = batu, fire = api, house = rumah, red = merah, god = Tuhan / Dewa, goddes=Dewi, mountain = gunung, wind = angin, dragon = naga.
tq

…you know, atekku, air in your language is
interesting, our air, in english, comes from,
ailia(N)=ally(work for another, which is
a scottish word also of 3 syllables. the scots
are the sea people of the 4th millenium, the
terminus of polynesian expansion which gave
hawaii/auia(Nauatl/4water) its name, plus
tahiti/otaihti/otatl(N). auia(N)=have(happy),
and, otatl/thick walking cane. how do you say,
cane? anyway, ailia(N)=air(English),ally(E).
now, air and water are the same words in
nauatl, with this difference, water has an
extra, a, e.g., ilhuicatl(N)=sky/himmel(ger),
and, ilhuica(a)tl(N)=the sea/ce atl/seattle.
then, ilpia(N)=to tie(knot), which is, ilhuicatl/
pia(N)=skyknot, and is the word, hilpan(gothic)/
elpomai(gk)/help(E). i believe the 4k sea age
started in indonesia/se asia.
i sent you nauatl roots for the words you sent
me but perhaps you didn’t get them. let us
just continue on. best, carlos.
