Observations on Gurage Documents

Pages 234-238 | Published online: 04 Dec 2015

  • The symbol K is used for barred k in the examples throughout (Editor's note).
  • The 1st person, sg. is treated in Chaha as if it ended in an original short vowel. This is not in agreement with the corresponding vowel in Tigrinya and Geez, as I stated in the article “Essai de reconstitution des désinences verbales du tigrina”, in Revue des Etudes Sémitiques, 1939, p. 81.
  • The statement of Greenberg (Word 6.201) that ky äsäsim has all the three consonants palatalized it to be corrected, since the verb is kyss, with ky. The palatalized ky is due to the fact that the verb belongs to type B (32.3), and is not a result of palatalization because of the final -i.
