Arnaud, you never fail to amaze me with what you know and what you do not
know.
P.
=============
I'm more amazed by what you don't know how to do.
A.
================
Arabic <a> is completely without value for predicting what the AA vowel
might have been. Arabic has vowel patterning through which the quality of
the vowels is determined grammatically not etymologically.

Fiflska again !
Arabic &ayin "eye" = FuZhou ngaing
a is a. Punto.
Not all vowels are innovative,
fi l Hamdi llah, as they say.

Now, what in Heaven's name, is <º> supposed to signify in Hebrew?
***
Hevv°n'z naym.
Arnaud
================
Are you disputing the connection of the root t?m to words for 'match' and
'harmony'?
A simple yes or no, please.

You already have the answer.
Look in my previous mail.
