We are not linguists, language, literacy, literary specialists or experts or those kinds of folks in this community generally speaking. We're usually normal, average, common sorts of fellows and folks, and that's part of the reason it hasn't and doesn't matter so much, but there is a few things that can be said about it.

The term “resp.” is an "English" abbreviation which is not English, so does not appear in dictionaries. It seems to be quite often used by native German speakers when writing in English, when they want to use respectively as a conjunction and not as an adverb. In German, instead of bzw., a writer can also use respektive as a conjunction; this explains the mistake. “resp.” is used in Billy Meier’s original German source text, probably to make translating easier.<sup>[citation needed]</sup> Translators have probably been muddled / confused as to how to present it, and therefore sometimes opt to retain it and incorporate it into the English translation and sometimes use i.e and e.g instead. Translators occasionally end a sentence with respectively when there has been an ordered list.

'''Q: Why is - used between two words often and what does it mean?'''

Initially appearing to be a common mistake, however “resp.” is used in Billy Meier’s original German source text, so translators have probably been muddled / confused as to how to present it, and translators have therefore tended to opt to retain it and incorporate it into the English translation.

A: It is a way of joining the two words to create a new meaning. Specifically targeting a defined meaning, e.g. fine-coffee, it's now a variation of coffee which is it's own. In English this may not be possible, perhaps a language person could weigh in and give a better answer. In German it is possible to add words together to create new words, finecoffee, so the translations on FutureofMankind use a - where they've joined words together.</small></small>

Apparently the abbreviation viz. for videlicet, should be used if the writer intends it to mean "namely", but it may sometimes mean that too. As we know in English the rule for using the word “respectively” is that it means "in the order given", “in the order described”, "in this arrangement", "by this sequence" etc. In other words if you list, or mention two or more things, you are then able to end the sentence with "respectively", as a means of encouraging the reader / person (if a vocal exchange) to maintain the proportions and sequencing given by you.

−
With translations, and that is just how it is with the available translations of Billy Meier works. Occasionally "respectively" is placed before the end or even mid list. It may be used as an instruction like for example “you need a spanner resp. a tool, in the tool box” where it's being used to recommend or imply; "go and get it", "do it now at that location", where then the word "respectfully" would probably work better. It might also be being used when it has nothing to do with an ordered listing. I mean you wouldn't say “I have a cat and a dog respectively” would you. You might say something like “I like my cat, dog, rabbit, hamster respectively” perhaps. “It’s a feline i.e a cat”. “My cat behaves like other animals sometimes e.g like a rabbit and a dog, when I think about it that way”.

Sequencing is important; If you smile before someone opens the door for you and then relax your face, the door opener is likely to smile back and hold it open wider. If however you alter the sequencing but do all the same things, in a different order; relax your face then walk through the opened door then later smile, then the results will sit differently.

Traditionally we have all as Billy Meier readers approached it all calmly and in a non-judgemental way, appreciated them and what they've explained, and not challenged them for how the language is used. We've appreciated that they are not native speakers and respected that fact and because we've discovered that it's all made sense even when it has not been immediately clear. We can see by the included German text and comparing it, what is meant. Translations also take a long time and that is another reason we have been chilled about it.

Several writing and presentation techniques, methods and styles have also been explained to Billy by the [[Plejaren]], that is to say, Billy has been personally taught by them and received an education by them. Which makes the situation different too.

The FutureofMankind is a dialogue between English and German, because German is the language the works are originally presented in. You may be loosely aware as an English speaker or reader, that in English there is several methods of expressing and explaining the same thing. One way might pass through the German route of wording, another way passes through the French way and another way you may occasionally with a UK speaker find them speaking Latin. Well, from their Swiss German side as writers, their in-road to communicating with us, is by using the German way of using English. Which is nice, we're communicating together. It may mean that it seems they are avoiding certain vernaculars in common use in English because of the way it translates. There is probably a better explanation you can find about that relationship on Google. At any rate the FutureofMankind is going along with the methods of translating where it as close to the original as possible, even if that means by all accounts bad English grammar and sentence structuring. We want to know what was said the way it was said.</small></small>

"We are only here in order to fulfil our mission and the prevention of the catastrophe and to prepare you for your difficult assignment as prophet. For further things, like help with evolution and so forth, other forms of life from your own universe are responsible, who will initially called themselves Pleiadians. Already for millennia, they supervise the Earth and keep those space-faring races in check who wish evil for you Earth humans and want to gain control over Earth humanity with the employment of religion and all the related deceptions, hallucinations, and trickery with which they buoy up the Earth humans with false promises."
Asket, February 1953


Introduction

Eduard Meier first communicated with extraterrestrials from 1942 to 1953 with Sfath, an older gentlemen from Erra (Pleiades / Plejaren).

Translations

Translation FAQ [Show/Hide]

The translation effort tends to be voluntary (few exceptions),[5] which unfortunately tends to often be forgotten, under-appreciated or is simply not known to new readers. It requires devotion and translation skill by individuals all over the world and developing the skills necessary to translate to a professional comprehensive standard takes time and dedication. Without this voluntary free of charge work effort, individuals in the English speaking world and Anglosphere,[6] as it is for the other languages, would have only poorly translated texts; we wish therefore to express our gratitude and appreciation to them, we are all very thankful to those few individuals who have put in that effort, thank you for all the work, time and effort.
