What I've read suggests that it's actually derived (as Kinahna in the Ancient Egyptian language, that's what they called it in the Amarna Letters) from the proto-Semitic root knʿ, meaning 'low' - as in 'lowland' - contrasting with Aram (modern-day Syria, that original name being derived from Aramu, meaning 'high'). An alternative theory is that the name came from kinahhu, the Akkadian word for purple cloth, the luxury good which Phoenician merchants were most famous for. The Hebrew word for 'merchant' is socher and the Aramaic equivalent was sachar, while in Arabic it's singl. tajir and pl. tajirun (some conection to ancient Akkadian tamkaru/tamkarum, in turn derived from the probable proto-Semitic root mkr, is suspected). None of these sound like they'd lend themselves to anything sounding like Canaan.
What you & this author are probably thinking of were the Phoenicians, who were a Canaanite people (as in, all Phoenicians were Canaanites, but not all Canaanites were Phoenicians) famous for their sailing & trading expertise. They founded a lot of colonies across the Mediterranean, eventually competing with the Greeks in doing so, with Carthage being the most famed example of such. They were also stalwart supporters of Moloch (the bull-headed baby sacrifice demon), with conclusive evidence having been found of their Carthaginian descendants also roasting children for Moloch, and the original Jezebel was a Phoenician princess (from Tyre, the greatest of their city-states) as was the mythical Carthaginian queen and lover of the Roman ancestor Aeneas, Dido.
Other than the Phoenicians, the Canaanite peoples (defined as the pre-Judaic natives of modern-day Israel, so tribes like the Amorites, Ammonites, Moabites, etc.) were not generally known as great traders, so it's a rather dubious theory that any word for 'merchant' would've been applied to the rest of their kind. If anything the Egyptians and Hittites both found them to be a very unruly people prone to banditry and rebellion, not enterprising or pleasant merchants, and a possible origin for the very name Hebrew - the word Habiru/'Apiru - refers to brigands and other malcontents on the fringe of society who resisted the rule of the outside great empires, basically the original terrorists.
Maybe it's because he's continuing to act like a retard, even admitting ITT his "source" is little more than "trust me, bro".
Im not sure, but the website i linked , said so and it looks legit enough
If the OP alone was getting downvoted then maybe there would be something to wonder about, but the retarded comments made by the OP ITT and others which are also then downvoted suggest it's more consistent behaviour from both him and those reacting to it.
if you find enemies in your path then you are going the correct way
my source is a Christian history website. Its funny because if they said something bad about muslims i feel like people wouldn't be questioning it or demanding better sources. But whenever something makes jews look bad suddenly it needs to be hyper scrutinized and fact checked.

No.Fucking.Shit.
You get that’s why I made the comment right?
Sax said yesterday, and I quote:
Looks like maybe the people throwing around accusations of forum sliding, vote manipulation, and brigading might have decided to escalate against you?
I don’t really get the sentiment behind the rest of your comment -
if you find enemies in your path then you are going the correct way
This is how Darwin awards are earned.
Yeah it’s also how Medals of Honor are earned, but again, I don’t get what you’re trying to say here - hopefully not “don’t call out people who give ideological cover for forum sliding”
Except it’s not highly relavent that you assume the only way he could get downvotes soon after posting is by a coordinated “anti-telia” campaign - realistically the people most likely to downvote his posts as low effort / forum sliding are the same people who browse via /new - there’s practically zero point in downvoting posts once they’re on the front page.
The only thing relavent to the discussion here, and why I pinged you, is the blatant low effort shit posting getting treated as such, no need for you to provide ideological cover for forum sliders by invoking “escalations” by unnamed shadowy figures
Sure, just ignore the context in which I made the comment.
You know what? I take back everything I've ever said about you.
You're just a small-minded, manipulative asshole. Fuck you. You've gotten as bad and single-minded as Imp1 ever was, to the point that the few constructive posts you make are completely overwhelmed by your sperg outs where you just make shit up whole cloth to argue with as you move the goalposts from field to court to rink and back again.
Lmao cool story bro, by sperg outs you mean about a year ago when I correctly pointed out that Telia was using alts and sockpuppets to forum slide this place? And then I get pushback from retards like you who still a year later provide cover for these shills? Wowzers you got me i guess
You know what? I take back everything I've ever said about you.
You hated conpro so you stopped posting there. and you hate me. can you just admit you don't like me because my opinions are similar to the opinions of conpro. ?
I loved ConPro which is why I posted there for years, but the exact same things which killed that community are being brought here by dirty refugees refusing to assimilate, and they’ll eventually kill this community too - even if they don’t think that’s what they’re doing
I have no problem with you at all beyond your seeming total inability to be just introspective enough to ask yourself “is this worth posting?” - well that and your use of alts like (at a minimum) u/yoisi - i get the whole “fuck overbearing mods” thing, but it’s just deceptive af to use multiple accounts like you have in the past - though at least in the last few months you’ve been sticking to one at a time (seemingly)
The other day you literally just posted a picture of the new pope with nothing to it beyond “look at his nose”. That’s so fucking weak - and im part of the camp that’s 100% convinced the Catholic Church has long been subverted. You could have posted his pro refugee tweets, or his criticisms of trump, or atleast anything containing something approaching substance ffs
Canannite has wares if you have coin
The Canannite: What are ya buyin?
To who? In what language did canaanite mean merchant or trader? Are you alluding to the Curse of Ham here?
Im not sure, but the website i linked , said so and it looks legit enough
Are you not actually embarrassed by saying that?

This can’t be a coincidence - two threads in a row?!? Im sorry for doubting you I take it all back

I notice you didn't bother to quote my next reply to you which provided the context you lacked when you made your reply.
So I guess you're not actually interested in having an informed discussion, you just want to selectively quote things to manipulate people's opinions.

Go back to KiA 1 if you miss it so much.
