[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundjata: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [qb] Mind you the interview is seven years older than the report and is evidence of Ehret's current about face. Unless Egyptic and Berber are proto-Semitic then North Erythraic is certainly not proto-Semitic. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundjata: [qb] In the 2009 paper it doesn't seem that they are contradicting that scenario. He doesn't regard Proto-Semitic and this "North Erythraic" as mutually exclusive in the interview. [/qb][/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]I guess my point was in reference to this: [i]"Conceivably, with a fuller utilization of grains, they're making bread. We can reconstruct a word for "flatbread," like Ethiopian injira. This is [b]before proto-Semitic divided into Ethiopian and ancient Egyptian languages[/b]. So, maybe, the grindstone increases how fully you use the land. This is the kind of thing we need to see more evidence for. We need to get people arguing about this.[/i]" ^He seems to be using the term interchangably with "pre-proto-Semitic" as referred to in the 2004 article you cited in another thread and in 2009, he calls it "ancestral Semitic". Hence, I honestly don't see where he does an 'about face' if he has never suggested that Semitic proper, differentiated in Africa. [/QB][/QUOTE]
