Agaw Lexicon and Its Cushitic and Afro-Asiatic Background

Abstract

The long awaited Comparative Dictionary of the Agaw Languages published most recently by David Appleyard (2006) presents a precious etymological treatment not only for specialists of Agaw and Cushitic, but also from the standpoint of our current research on comparative Afro-Asiatic lexicon. The present paper is to examine Appleyard’s material and suggestions from these aspects for possible addenda and corrigenda.
