Reconstruction talk:Proto-Afro-Asiatic/maḥas- ~ meḥas-

RFD discussion: April–May 2019
Another Orel & Stolbova reconstruction, which is based on what seems to be chance similarity between the Hausa for "python" and the Somali for "snake". I can't find a further etymology for the Hausa, but the Somali is truncated from a shared East Cushitic root, as seen in 🇨🇬 (where the stem is hamas-). The main problem here is a lack of descendants, and a lack of sound changes to explain them. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:10, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
