JUNGRAITHMAYR, Hermann: Hamitosemitic Features of Chadic

HERRMANN JUNGRAITHMAYR Compare in Akkadian: 'separate' 'die' Perfective Stem -prus -muut Imperfective Stem -parras -maat (assyr. muuat'l) 2. Abstract nouns (of feminine gender) in /t/ in Ron and Akkadian Ron (Daffo) säräm 'governor' sárám-át 'government, kingship' mbur-ú 'native doctor' mbur-át 'native doctorship' 3.

'breathing, resting' nafós (m.) 'breathing, rest' sisal (m.) 'act of laughing' This parallel situation of /-suffixed feminine infinitives and differently marked masculine infinitives in Ron may well be compared with e.g. the secondary feminine infinitive of the derived III. stem in Arabic, i.e. mu-fifal-at-un, besides the more 'regular' masculine form ffäl-un.
