2.0 out of 5 stars
Not selective enough for general use,
By Remy Viredaz (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hamito-Semitic Etymological Dictionary: Materials for a Reconstruction (Handbook of Oriental Studies/Handbuch Der Orientalistik) (Hardcover)
As the subtitle indicates, this is not a reconstruction, but materials for one. Before they can be made general use of, they have to be screened by specialists of the different subfamilies. In the present state of the work, Orel & Stolbova's comparisons are often laxist both on the phonological and the semantic sides. In addition, the tables on pages 1-5 have several printing errors. See review article (in German) by Kammerzell in Indogermanische Forschungen 101, 268-290 (1996).
