INDECLINABLE `ABBA’ IN CLASSICAL GREEK AND MATRILINEAL CATHEXIS IN SEMITIC CORPUS

The noun ἀββᾱ in classical Greek is derived from Aramaic. It means father. This is the sacronsanct indeclinable noun in Greek. This can be contrasted with the maternal current in Semtic languages such as in Arabic, where the indeclinable (mabani) has no such patristic bias.

The object oriented nature of the declensions in Semitic Corpus lends them to a matrixial borderspace manipulation as Bracha Ettinger points out. There occurs an encapsulation within the language of multiple facets of the same instantiation of meaning, or absence thereof. Trauma of loss, and grief are carried over into the creation of meaning. This happens multiple times through repetition. Thus the Object Oriented nature of the Semitic Corpus is precipitated in their pragmatics.
