Research Article

  • A Prefix ḥ in Egyptian, Modern South Arabian, and Hausa

  • The language families of Semitic, Egyptian, Berber, and Cushitic are generally recognized as belonging to the Hamito-Semitic group. As far back as 1844 Hausa was also occasionally compared with one or another language family of Hamito-Semitic or with Hamito-Semitic as a whole. I should like to mention only the studies of R. Lepsius, A. H. Sayce, L. Reinisch, F. Lexa, G. A. Barton, and particularly W. Vycichl, and recently J. Greenberg. Personally, I have no definite opinion on the relation between Hausa and the Hamito-Semitic group. However, in the course of my work on various Semitic problems I have come across a feature that occurs in Ancient Egyptian, Modern South Arabian, and Hausa. I have in mind the prefixed element ḥ that occurs in the above-mentioned languages and that so far has defied any explanation, at least in the Modern South Arabian group.
