disc

▪ Orel&Stolbova1994#503 and Militarev&Stolbova2007 reconstruct protSem *ṯ̣il(l)‑, protWCh *(n˅)č̣ila‑, protCCh *n˅‑ǯal‑ < *n˅‑čal‑, HEC *c̣al‑, Dhl ṯälali‑ (with partial reduplication), all ‘shadow, shade’ (but CCh: ‘west’). An AfrAs origin is thus highly probable; the authors suggest AfrAs *č̣al‑ / *č̣il‑ ‘shadow’.
▪ DRS 10 (2012) #Ṯ̣LL: Cf. also ṬLṬ. – Outside Sem: Cush probably loaned from EthSem.
▪ Dolgopolsky2012 sees parallels also outside AfrAs and reconstructs Nostr *č̣˹o˺l˻w˼˅ ‘shadow, shade, dark’.
▪ Is ↗ẓalla ‘to remain’ akin to ẓill?
