Reconstruction talk:Proto-Afro-Asiatic/ħər

RFD discussion: April–May 2019
This entry has seven (!) definitions, all supported by a reference that subscribes to the absurd Nostratic theory, rather than a specialist publication. (The only other reference is for an alleged PIA borrowing that is dismissed by other sources in the PIA entry.) Descendants are given in two branches, but the Egyptian one has a wrong definition and a spurious etymology, leaving only Semitic words meaning "free" — this probably supports a Proto-Semitic entry, but hardly a Proto-Afro-Asiatic one. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 16:37, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I think it should be moved to 🇨🇬, disregarding the spurious Egyptian and Proto-Indo-Iranian connections. -- 17:34, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * But 🇨🇬 is a wrong form. The first consonant must be ḥ not h, and then come two r. If there shall be a reconstructed root, it shall be, so one sees it as a root (like root entries in Semitic entries are currently created). This root existed in Semitic. However without heavy checking I don’t know if we can also reconstruct a term with vowels. Regarding the Proto-Afro-Asiatic, it must be deleted because it is chaotic and agitating, like in even mentioning a relation to . Fay Freak (talk) 04:50, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
