▪ MilitarevKogan2000 (SED I) #224 : Apart from Sem *riʔ(-at)-, the authors reconstruct Berb *ta-wray ‘lung’ and give some CChad forms (without reconstructing a proto-form), all from an hypothetical AfrAs *w˅ray/ʔ‑ ‘lung’.
▪ If the Ar forms are comparable directly as a vestige of the suggested AfrAs form, Sem *riʔ(-at)- can be interpreted as a secondary stem with a Iost *wa- or as a variant root.
▪ In contrast, in the older n.s ^†wāriyaẗ, ^†waràⁿ ‘lung disease’ (arranged s.r. ↗√WRY), »w- could be regarded as a secondary element (a triconsonantizer?) if not for a comparison to Berb and CChad terms in w- which makes one suppose them to be a vestige of the old AfrAs form *w˅ray/ʔ‑« – MilitarevKogan2000 (SED I) #224.
