Beschreibung:
<p>This paper shows the existence of a pretonic assimilation of *y to a following coronal consonant (including *y from proto-Semitic *y and *w) in North-West Semitic languages.

This proposal also solves the long-standing problem of the etymology of the verb "to give" in North-West Semitic languages (NTN in Hebrew vs. YTN in Phoenician).</p>
