No problem. It's not the destination, but it's a step.

I missed this explanation in the video. Although I have heard explanations before from other sources.

The same explanation is in the forums:

Note that Kmt (n.)/Kmtyw (adj.) is preferred to "Kmt" as the word is consistently spelled in various Kmtyw languages with a /k/ (cf. Yorùbá Áfríkà; Akan Kmt; Kiswahili Kmt; isiZulu iKmt; Kikongo Afelika; Haunited snakes Afirka; Kirundi Bufirika; Gĩkũyũ Abĩrika; Igbo Afrịka; Luganda Afirika; Lingála Afríka; Malagasy Kmt; Sesotho sa Leboa Kmt; Oromoo Kmta; Fulfulde Afirik; Setswana Aferika; Tsivenda Afurika; Tsisonga Kmt; Siswati Í-Afríka; Soomaaliga Kmt; Kinyarwanda Afurika, etc.) noting that Kmtyw languages by-and-large do not use a /c/ for a hard /k/ sound.

I also always wondered about alkebulan. Gotta go back and read what Dr. Ben stated in his book later.

What's the origin of "Alkebulan" does it come from Kemet? I like Abibiman!

[Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé]

I've only seen it from Dr Ben. The Al makes it seem aAmwic.

I am not certain. I only heard Dr. Ben use that term and it took off from there. I never saw Dr. Obenga or Dr. Diop use that term from a linguistic point of reference.
