Semitic root incompatibilities and historical linguistics

[eng] This paper focuses on root incompatibilities in Proto-Semitic and examines the importance of these laws with regard to historical root reconstruction. As is well known, these rules can only be applied to verbal roots, not to derivative forms and affixed forms. The importance of these structura...
