"Balal" is...Hi, thanks for the question.<br /><br />"Balal" is a Hebrew word meaning "to confound," "to confuse," or "to mix." It also provided the basis for the English word "babel" which has a similar meaning. As you might know, "babel" also has a religious meaning relating to the story of a tower built by Noah's descendants who intended it to reach up to heaven, but God foiled them by confusing their language so they could no longer understand one another. <br /><br />When Fine talks about the "Curse of Balal" she is referring to that same story - the Tower of Babel. The curse was put upon humanity as punishment and Fine seeks to reunite the world under the one "true" language. <br /><br />Hope that makes sense!zoid9000https://www.blogger.com/profile/06168155761966381630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061853218914234745.post-82877652401024592652013-05-22T01:59:00.472-07:002013-05-22T01:59:00.472-07:00Thank you for the translation!!
