Reconstruction talk:Proto-Semitic/naḥat-

This must be the source of նախատ (naxat), of unknown origin. --Vahag (talk) 20:23, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

@Vahagn Petrosyan: Definite yes, 🎯. I have not included all related Akkadian words from the article. You have to read it for the exact semantics: I summarize that there are Akkadian adjectives nuḫḫutu and niḫittu meaning something ignominious, of low-quality etc., so scrapings, hewings, outcast things, we see عَكْرُوت (ʕakrūt)-type evolution. @Sartma can help us with the spellings, writing the etymology for նախատ (naxat).

In Northwest Semitic, that is in all of Aramaic, in Hebrew and Ugaritic, there is a nḥt “to go down, to descend”. Tropper mentions that in one paragraph at page 60 and shows himself decided that there is no connection. I am not sure. Fay Freak (talk) 21:56, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
