[QUOTE]Originally posted by Evergreen: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Supercar: [qb] [QUOTE]Provide a "citation" that supports your claim. I'm not denying or accepting it; I'm questioning it...[/qb][/QUOTE]Evergreen Quotes: Diakonoff The Earliest Semitic Society Journal of Semitic Studies 43/2:209-219 1998 "Of working implements, only two prove to be CAA (COMMON AFRASIAN): *ma-nga 'sickle'...and *mar- 'hoe'..." "The term *mar does exist in the sense of 'hoe' also in Sumerian, but, since it is attested in Semitic, Kushitic, Egyptian and Chadic, it is CERTAINLY borrowed into Sumerian from Semitic, not vice versa." "Referring to the presence of a term for 'sickle', one should not conclude that CAA was the language of an agricultural population. The sickle was already known to the highly developed Mesolithic Natufian culture of Palestine(c. tenth millennium BCE), and the still more ancient cultures in the Nile Valley. " "With regard to locating the origin of Proto-Semitic, a nearly complete absence of all the most important CS (COMMON SEMITIC)cultural terms in the African branches of the Afrasian linguistic macrofamily comples me to abandon my former conjectured location of it somewhere in Africa." "It is quite evident that the cultural ties between Proto-Semitic and the African branches of the Afrasian macrofamily must have been severed at a very early date indeed. However, the grammatical structure of CS (especially in the verb) is obviously close to that of Common Berbero-Libyan (CBL), as well as to Bedauye....The same grammatical isoglosses are somewhat more feebly felt between Semitic and (the other?) Kushitic languages." "As possible homelands for them I would propose the following: FIRST, the region between Palestine and the Nile Delta, where I suggest the homeland of the Semitic languages should be located..." "The original homeland of the Egyptian branch of Afrasian should probably be sought, naturally, in the Nile Valley; not to the north of present-day Upper Egypt, however, but rather to the south - in the region of the so-called el-Kab culture."
