LINGUA POSNANIENSIS 2013 LV (1) DOI: 10.2478/linpo-2013-0007 SOME BERBER ETYMOLOGIES X GÁBOR TAKÁCS Aൻඌඍඋൺർඍ: Gábor Takács. Some Berber Etymologies X. Lingua Posnaniensis, vol. LV (1)/2013. The Poznań Society for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences. PL ISSN 0079-4740, ISBN 978-83- 7654-273-7, pp. 99–110. My series “Some Berber Etymologies” is to gradually reveal the still unknown immense Afro-Asiatic heritage in the Berber lexical stock. The ﬁ rst part with some miscellaneous Berber etymologies was published back in 1996. Recently, I continued the series according to initial root consonants1 in course of my research for the volumes of the Etymological Dictionary of Egyptian (abbreviated as EDE, Lei- den, since 1999, Brill)2 with a much more extensive lexicographical apparatus on the cognate Afro- Asiatic daughter languages. As for the present part, it greatly exploits the results of my ongoing work for the the fourth volume of EDE (analyzining the Eg. lexical stock with initial n-). The present part contains etymologies of Berber roots with initial *n- followed by sibilants. The nu- meration of the entries continues that of the preceding parts of this series. In order to spare room, I quote those well-attested and widespread lexical roots that appear common Berber, only through a few illustrative examples. The underlying regular consonant correspondences between Berber vs. Afro-Asiatic agree with those established by the Russian team of I.M. Diakonoff and summarized by A.Ju. Mංඅංඍൺඋൾඏ: (1991, 242–243).

Alliot (RdE 10, 1955, 1–4) identiﬁ ed it with Eg. ns “Verletzung (?)” (NE Mag., Wb II 321, 4) and connected both to nsns “(Verbum von den Fingern im Vergleich mit einem Opferstier)” (NE, Wb II 335, 1) = “zerschneiden (?)” (GHWb 432). If this hypothesis is correct, Eg. nz has to be withdrawn here. 4 O.V. Stolbova (2003, 303) reconstructed PCh. *nuE- “to sink, plunge into the water” on the basis of ECh.: Migama núuTyó “enfoncer, plonger” [JA 1992], which is, however, not related to the WCh.-Margi isogloss. 5 N. S඄ංඇඇൾඋ (1977, 43) equated the Hausa root with North Bauchi *√n[ “to swim”, which is to be declined. Later he (S඄ංඇඇൾඋ 1996, 209) suggested even more improbable parallels, e.g., ECu. *no«- “to sink” etc. 6 The AA parallels compared by A. Mංඅංඍൺඋൾඏ & O. Sඍඈඅൻඈඏൺ (1990, 70) are either semantically or phono- logically untenable.
