[QUOTE]Originally posted by Supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Yom: Forget the semantics, though.[/QUOTE]I am glad that you are convinced that your attack on the idea of "Proto-Arabic" is semantics on your end, without material. You did so, because you don't like the "Arabic" part which would posit its origin in Arabia, specifically south Arabia. It could even be said that that author's term is even more valid, in that Sabean script would have had to gone through intermediary developments into its final state. Hence, the predecessor of Sabean cannot be South Arabian script in itself; it will have been [b]proto[/b]-South Arabian/Sabean script. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: He makes it clear that the Tihama pottery was related to the C-Group and Kerma people. This supports the movement of some of the groups into the Horn from this region.[/QUOTE]I'll relay the same question to you as I have done earlier: What set of parameters do you use to attribute origin of "cultural complex" to a specific group of people? [QUOTE]Clyde: Daniels has a fine book and Fattowich provides great evidence on the rise of civilization in Ethiopia, but if we are to use these two sources to gage the origin of literacy on the Horn, it would appear that Sabaean originated in Ethiopia and not Yemen. [/QUOTE]I haven't seen anything from any of the sources you mentioned, supporting [b]non[/b]-Sabean origins of "Epigraphic [b]South Arabian[/b] [not Ethiopian]" script. If anything, it appears from Daniels' note, that a south Arabian origin of the Sabean script is favored. I haven't seen mention by Fattovich either, of an Ethiopic origin for ESA/Sabean script. If they did, it has not come to my attention. Please provide the said sources making specific claims to this end. [/QB][/QUOTE]
