Some Features of Proto-Arabic Phonemes and the Tenets of the Comparative Method
Seiten 5 - 26
DOI https://doi.org/10.13173/zeitarabling.54.0005
The article investigates instances of phoneme mergers in Proto-Arabic. This process, which has so far remained unnoticed, has resulted in a certain number of triliteral roots having biliteral variants. The possibility and phonological circumstances of these mergers are an internal source of information about the phonological system of Proto-Arabic and Proto-Semitic. They also raise the issue of how to apply the basic tenet of phonetic correspondences in such a situation.
