Reconstruction talk:Proto-Chadic/ymn

RFM discussion: March 2020–July 2021
(vol. 3, p. 201) has a whole page dedicated to this complex in Chadic, and concludes that two separate roots have been conflated by Jungraithmayr & Shimizu. Takács reconstructs the form given by the A languages as *h-m (comparing 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, etc), and the form given by the B languages as *y-m (comparing 🇨🇬). He is not a Chadicist, to be sure, but his collation of sources is very comprehensive, and avoids the otherwise awkward *y > *h that this reconstruction demands. (As an aside, where the hell did they get the third consonant of *y-m-n from when none of the descendants seem to have it?) —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 06:22, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
