Abstract

The long series of fruitful workshops and conferences on Afro-Asiatic linguistics, vividly evoked by Fabrizio Angelo Pennacchietti in a recent contribution, was also the occasion for me to deliver a paper (‘Ancient Features of Ancient Ethiopic’, 2005) that was a minor version of a longer contribution published in the journal Aethiopica (2005), but condensed in its essential elements for the proceedings of the Ragusa–Ibla conference. This paper substantially updates those attempts and provide an assessment of the fertility of that research direction.
