I know this article.
the source I previously gave is a more developped and achieved stage of the same core idea.

Moscati, on whom I have been relying, makes no mention of the processes described above.

A.F :
Moscati, 1964, An introduction to the comparative grammar of semitic languages,
Harrassowitz, p74 :
"In the examination of bi-consonantal roots"
Moscati says the same, and most often goes even beyond to an extent
that is hardly acceptable.

Militarev's essay has convinced me of the basic soundness of his proposition; and I must say, I regret being convinced.
It makes PAA word formation chaotic in a way I have seen in no other major language family. Perhaps you will have to correct my ignorance again?

It is very much chaotic and this is why PAA and worse, Arabic, is hard to handle.
This time, you are making an important step in the right direction.
Keep on.

If Fournet had furnished such a link, much ink could have not been spilled.

Next time, I will appreciate if you listen to what I am telling you.
This could spare us a lot of time and energy.
I was right from the right start.
