conc

It seems to be safe to assume a Sem verb *‘to come’ (with unclear voweling; Orel&Stolbova1994 suggest *ʔ˅t‑ or *ʔ˅t˅w‑ / *ʔ˅t˅y‑). What seems to be parallels in other branches of the AfrAs family encourages them to reconstruct either AfrAs *ʔat‑ ‘to walk, come’ or AfrAs *taʔ‑ / *taw‑ / *tay‑ ‘to go, run’.
