Subject: Re: [tied] Early Indo-European loanwords preserved in Finnish
I found the term Semito-Hamitic telling. By 1970 or
so, popular encyclopedias such as Funk & Wagnalls were
already using Afro-Asiatic or Afrasian and explaining
how outdated S-H was.
==================
What is supposed to be wrong with
Semito-Hamitic
or Chamito-sémitique ?
Personally, I think the "symmetrical"
Afro-Asiatic from "Indo-European"
is not better,
The symmetry crumbles when
PIE becomes part of CS.
