The Role of ROP in the Origins of the Refime

The term 'Refiam' from the ancient Near East, connected to giants in the Bible, has its root 'ROP' possibly derived from an Akkadian word for prince or ruler. The Akkadian 'ROP' also alludes to dead ancestor kings. This term is also found in Phoenician literature, associated with funerary cults and veneration of long-dead ancestor God kings. The linguistic connections between Refiam and older languages like Akkadian and Sumerian suggest a diffusion of words among ancient cultural groups like Proto-Indo-European or Proto-Semitic.
