Re: [tied] The Semites and their reeds

Glen,

If you go to the Contents page of the American Heritage Dictionary online,

http://www.bartleby.com/61/

you'll find links to an article on Proto-Semitic (a competent one, by John Huehnergard) and to a handy list of Semitic roots like that of IE ones. If your access to academic libraries is limited, you'll find it useful.

Cheers,

Piotr
