"Deploying a bottom up instead of the conventional top down approach, and drawing
extensively on both literary and dialectal Arabic lexical sources, the present glossary
proposes and validates the contention of a prehistoric symbiosis transpiring between
Ancient Egyptian and Arabic two and a half millennia before the advent of Islam. Its
empirical rationale and methodological basis rest firmly on these venerable idioms'
rich textual documentation, yielding the language historian an ample etymological
database enriched-in the case of Arabic-with a virtually unlimited corpus drawing
on the living speech of some 300 million speakers across the Near East and Africa.
The muster provided here comprises over 800 lexemes and reveals, for the first time
in longue durée research on Afroasiatic, striking unsuspected commonalities linking
Old Egyptian to Yemeni Arabic"
