Reconstruction talk:Proto-Berber/ʔabb

RFD discussion: July–September 2021
A StarLing reconstruction, specifically formed to support their questionable PAA. This is a classic, with highly irregular descendants (some with unexplained labialisation and emphasis), and I doubt it can be meaningfully reconstructed. If it could, it would certainly not have this form. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 22:59, 29 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I confess that StarLing's terrible missteps with Japanese etymologies have somewhat colored my impression of them -- reconstructions that are laughably bad, based on postulated "roots" that are actually compounds with quite different meanings. Are their reconstructions any better for other language families?  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 22:03, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
 * No, they're just as bad across the board. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 20:28, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
