The place of n in forminģ Semitic roots
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 December 2009
Extract
In Semitic languages a root containing n often agrees in meaning, wholly or partially, with some weak root. Brockelmann (Grundriss, i, 536) suggests that the Syriac nhp “barefooted”, corresponding to the Arabic hfy, shows that Aramaic once possessed a reflexive in n. This explanation will not serve when n comes at the end of the root.
