I agree :
some times you learn more about the author.
 
What about :
Arabic &aqrub
Greek skorpion
 
One of the problem with Arabic is that voice is often indifferent
only locus and modus count.
Arabic is a problem for the orthodox methodology
using strict correspondances.
Arabic is somehow "fuzzy" and innovative.
These statements do not apply to Hebrew.
Hebrew is easier and more reliable.
There is no proto-Semitic available
 because most people just don't understand
the slighest bit about where Arabic stands.
 
Arabic [?] "glottal stop" is one of the form of H2.
And so are most glottalized emphatics of Semitic
excepted p? > PIE *b and t? fused with d > PIE *d
And k? fused with *g.
 
?ans "a man" = H2ner
Etc
Those who think H1 is [?] would better change their minds
as soon as possible.
They are on the wrong track.
