Do you have any data to support this form of a reconstruction?
Patrick
***
Correspondances are like this :
*ts Egyptian sh = PIE *s (Salish ts?)
*s Egyptian s = PIE *s (Salish s)
*dz Egyptian z = PIE West *H2 East *y (Salish ts)
*z Egyptian &ayin = PIE West *H2 East *y (Salish s)
The Root is actually *ts_dz_b
for PAA and PIE
Which I previously wrote *s_z_b
in order to avoid too many questions,
but as you jump into the topic,
I state that what I previously wrote *s_z_b
was meant as a superficial reconstruction
of my real point of view : *ts_dz_b.
Accounting for Egyptian *s_z_b
and PIE *s_z_w.
I suppose you will be clarinetting and trompetting
I am incoherent.
I'm not. I'm just adjusting my mails
to your level of understanding.

Our most ancient language did _not_ have tenses. Time was indicated only
adverbially.

I disagree.
