This may come as a shock to you, but the Hebrews were also a Black people.
I never said that Ophir is derived from the word "Fura". What I did state is that this is how the name has been retained in the language known as Shona today. The Shona language is relatively recent, the word Shona itself does not appear in records until the last 150 years or so.
If we are to argue about the phonetics, then we would have to deal with the problem of rendering a script that was hitherto written with no vowels in to the Latin alphabet that we are using now.
I use the word Ophir because we all know what I am talking about.
As for what I am; I am a Rastafarian.
