[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Yom: [qb] ^^^ So what's EthioSemitic since it's word is Tsehay? Does it make it unrelated to all of those languages? You can't base your classification on one word. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] Can Yom or anyone else show examples of other similarities between Afroasiatic languages such as grammar?? [/qb][/QUOTE]Well, the general form for verbs is "a" + Root for "I," "t" + root for you (masculine, Feminine it's t- + Root + -i or something like that), y + root for third person s.m., t + root for 3rd p.s.f., "n-" + root for first person plural ("we"). I'm not sure what the plural forms of you and s/he are (I have an idea, but I'm not as certain). "-u" as a suffix is a generally common idea for plural conjugation, though, IIRC. Past tense verbs in proto-Semitic are -ku (I), -ta (you m.), -ti (you f.), and if I rememeber correctly, they're ku, ka, and ki for proto-Afro-Asiatic (as in Ge'ez). [/qb][/QUOTE]This is not proof. Provide examples from specific so-called Afro-Asiatic languages. . [/QB][/QUOTE]
