Abstract

In this paper, the "Inter-Inversion and Language DNA (LDNA) Theory" is presented. Each Arabic letter has its symmetric letter in a DNA-like combination. The theory is very important in philology, the words' meanings, and development of a new language and/or dialect. It is a negative dimensional (D-) word-from-word approach (given a new term: lexical topology). The Language DNA (LDNA) process can be added, as the eighth process, to the previous list of the basic processes by which new words are created, and consequently, it is the compromising eighth source of the language. The inverted word gives the similar meaning of the original word. Some of the meanings are well-known, whereas the others were either used in the past and lost because of the natural selection law or were never known but might be used in the future. Additionally, it enriches the meaning of the word and may give extended negative dimensional meaning of the interpreted text.
