Abstract

Like other Semitic languages, Modern South Arabian (MSA) languages feature derived verbal stems formed using the Semitic prefix *Å¡ta (often referred to as âcausative-reflexiveâ). However, in this morpheme, the *Å¡t cluster yields sÌ (or Å¡) in MSA. As a result, the derivational prefix is now reduced to a single consonant plus a vowel. A number of verbal lexemes formed with this sÌV prefix have become fossilized in the various MSA languages, obscuring the original morphological structure of the derivation. In many cases, the inflection of these verbs has been restructured, and the consonant sÌ of the prefix has been reinterpreted as a root consonant. This study aims to shed light on the history of such verbs.
