ACADEMICS, fittingly, is mythical. Greek academia is attributed to a weak folk etymology, to the
name of a grove of trees where Plato taught. In other words there was no meaningful etymology for English ACADEMY or Dutch academie, and something had to be made up to mean an ACADEMY, an institute of intellectual advancement. קדם QeeDaiM is to HEAD OFF or advance. See “PRECEDE.” קדימה QaDeeYMaH is AHEAD; קדמה QeeDMaH is progress or HEADWAY, as קדקד QaDQoaD is a head. קדם QaDeM in Edenic is about advancement, progress, HEADING forward HEAD first. Hindi kadama कदम is a step (forward). Qadam, step, in Kazakh (Turkic) echoes קדם QaDahM, advance, go forward.
“Foreward” in Maltese is quddiem; in Telugu it is reversed to the nasalized (added N) ముందుకు munduku.
Too many Humanities ACADEMICS, Soft Scientists, seem more interested in getting tenure with a previous generation’s mistaken theories. Sadly, the modern ACADEMIC system breeds more sycophants than original scholars. Reluctance to seek word roots before the illiterate Greeks borrowed an Alphabet from Semites, or in writings older than the Indo-Europeans in Ice Age caves does not advance our knowledge of language. (But let’s admit that many French cave wall paintings are pretty.)
