disc

▪ Kogan2015:184-5 #12 The origin of protCSem *gady- ‘kid’ is uncertain. For a tentative comparison with the verbal root *gdy ‘to cut’ v. DRS 100‒101. For a possible connection with protIE *gʰaid- v. Gamkrelidze–Ivanov 1984: 872. Related terms outside CSem are borrowed from Aram or Ar: Akk gadu ‘kid’,¹ Gz gadəy ‘capricorn’.

1. »The probability of a cognate relationship between the Akk word and the CSem terms is, in our view, close to zero (contra Abraham–Sokoloff 2011:30): it is hard to see how such a cognate lexeme could be latently preserved in Akk without showing up in early sources (where other terms for ‘kid” are commonly used instead) and would then start to be actively used in Late Babylonian.«
