"Also, you previously stated that 'ophir' is derived from the word 'Fura', now, if you were truly proud of YOUR heritage, would you not be using that indigenous name rather than the semitic (mongrelised) version?

If I were to use your logic- if I may call it that for arguement's sake- then this is how I would refer to place names in my country:

2. Haarari for Harare
3. Casambezi for the Zambezi River
This whole thing about being truly proud of my heritage smacks of the same mirror-mirror-one-the-wall-who's-the-blackest-of-us-all which I have always found to be of tongues and minds not.
