"Alefantis" does NOT mean "I love children" ( pizzagate )

submitted by Caeliger

Please, please stop repeating this garbage. It is so easily refuted and makes us look bad. Could we perhaps get some basic information on it in the extant sticky?

To this day I see LOADS of people still believing in this demonstrable falsehood.

They are right the word does not denote that James "loves" children, it simply denotes he has a directional tendency towards enfant as an object, reaches and obtains it, finally by the being at or near it Pedophile denotes the love of children. That makes James a Moribund, antiquated, moth ridden, at the end of his rope, deaths door.

ALEFANTIS Here is the etymology of the word. The root word is 'EFANT' which means "a child" From Old French enfant, from Latin īnfāns https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/efant

The 'al' Prefix is a latin derived alternative of 'ad'

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/al-#Latin Which means "a tendency toward"," ad denotes, first, the direction toward an object; then the reaching of or attaining to it; and finally, the being at or near it." https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/ad#Latin '-is ' a suffix forming compound adjectives

"Al-enfant-is"more specifically means "toward infants a tendency has (he she it) to move toward, be near and obtain. the word "pedophile" is from a greek word that means " love of children"

Its also curious that hardly any 'Alefantis' surnames exist in any derivation. The root word pertains to INFANTS.

Come on, this is a spurious hobby etymology. "Ad" is only ever rendered "al" in cases of assimilation, as your link states. "Efant" (which is Walloon and not French proper) does not start with an "i".

The name "Alefantis" (more commonly written "Alifantis") has hundreds of years of recorded history in southern Greece.

Here it is the walloon wki translates "efant" to children https://wa.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efant

Here is another site that translates polish "efant" to little infant http://littleefant.pl/ They are selling "efant" charm bracelets, little infant charm bracelets.

I've seen both versions. In fact, what prompted me to create this thread was a guy asserting that "Alefantis" means "I love children".

In either case, the argument is wrong (not entirely without merit as I have elaborated on in my comments here, but gravely warped).

Caeliger

Highly plausible in my judgement, but that still doesn't excuse misrepresenting the facts.

the thing about word meaning... is that his name is synonymous with infant "lover" now. If you don't believe it? ask Rick Santorum.

Caeliger

"Enfant" doesn't even mean "infant". They are cognates, yes, but that's it.

Caeliger

Nothing whatsoever (in French). "Alefantis" is a Greek surname. Perhaps you can find its meaning in some etymological dictionary.

... I see LOADS of people still believing in this demonstrable falsehood.

i have no idea what 'Alefantis' refers to, but do you actually expect anyone to auto-believe your comment with zero evidence?

How about you just look it up in a dictionary? People are so lazy nowadays. It would take like five seconds to falsify for anyone with an internet connection and a functioning brain.

xeemee

you made the statement - it's up to you to source it, not i

People are so lazy nowadays.

exactly

I'm not going to cite sources for basic translations. That's stupid. Seriously, no-one here took French in school?

"J'aime l'enfant" is french for "I love the child", don't say that this is a false info. Is it a coincidence ? Most likely. Does that mean it's stupid to think otherwise ? Probably as stupid as thinking that a pedophile ring is hidden inside a government..

You say it is easily refuted, how about proving it ?

Caeliger

Here's the proof: "James Alefantis" is not "j'aime l'enfant" (shocking, I know). Vaguely similar-looking =/= "is".

This whole thing is akin to claiming that "Merkel" means "miracle" in English. I support pizzagate fully and have been convinced that the elites are Satanic paedophiles for years, which is why I don't want something as easily falsifiable as this being used as an argument (unless it is also mentioned that we're really dealing with an "almost-anagram" or superficial orthographic similarity).

domzy

I honestly don't care if it's a codeword or not. the only thing i said about this is that "J'aime l'enfant" = "I love the child". I know that for a fact, my first language is french. Even if it's a hidden name, that is just irrelevant anyways. But saying it's stupid to think it might be, at the point where we are... I don't think anything can be totally put aside. Plus you didn't prove anything there.

Anyways, as i said, debating on a real or false anagram is totally irrelevant, we already know for a fact that this guy is related to pedophilia, no need to bash someone because they believe this. We better try to unite (for once) and just go after these sickos all together. Keep fighting :) !!

They may be forum sliding. Play it back at them. Instead of trying to extinguish the noise via direct complaint, how about redirecting them with more relevant data? Keep presenting more useful info. If people chattering about the name thing seem to be earnest contributors who have gotten misdirected, try to give them new leads. If they aren't earnest contributors, at least you're getting other leads into the forum.

Caeliger

No, it isn't. "James Alefantis" can at best be rendered "j'aime les afants" ("j'aime les enfants" is the French phrase). This is still a remarkable "coincidence" in and of itself, but we need to stick to the facts. An anagram of a word is not that word per se, and an "almost-anagram" is not an anagram.

Currently, some people are claiming that "Alefantis" means "I love children" (which is false) and others that "James Alefantis" means the same thing (which is also false, the fact being that one may form it as an almost-anagram with the letters constituting the name).
