On the Curse Formula in Wˁzb’s Inscription (RIE 192 B, ll. 5-9)
The article deals with the curse formula belonging to the sixth-century inscription by an Aksumite king Wʿzb (RIÉ 192 B, ll. 5–9). After summarizing the extant interpretations, the author proposes a new reading and interpretation, arguing that the text under scrutiny follows the same pattern and employs the same rhetoric devices as the curse formulas in earlier Gǝʿz inscriptions. Within this approach, the ‘benediction interpretation’ (the one imp…
Early Geez orthography in the ʔAbbā Garimā Gospels and in the Aksumite Epigraphic Geez
ʔAbbā Garimā I and III (AG I and III) are the oldest manuscripts written in Geez (Old Ethiopic). According to a recent radiocarbon analysis they are dated to the Aksumite period. The present paper confronts the orthography of these manuscripts with that of the epigraphic corpus of the Aksumite period (the comparison is restricted to the roots containing gutturals and/or sibilants, since the preservation of these consonants is the hallmark of pre-…
Verbs of Stem X in Soqotri
Soqotri is a Semitic language belonging to the Modern South Arabian branch and spoken by the approximately 100,000 inhabitants of the island of Soqotra. As elsewhere in Semitic, Soqotri verbal derivation involves a complex system of the so-called verbal stems. The present contribution deals with morphology and semantics of the stem formally corresponding to Arabic Stem X and labeled accordingly in the studies of the Russian-Soqotri research team …

The Old Amharic Treatise “Kinds of the Creation”
The present publication constitutes the first edition of a previously unknown treatise entitled (in the incipit of the composition itself) “Kinds of the Creation”. The text, which is written in Old Amharic, was detected several years ago in a manuscript kept at that time in a church library located in the south-eastern part of Tigray region (Ethiopia). Later the same treatise was also found in another manuscript with an almost identical provenanc…

Geez was a spoken and a literary language amidst the Aksumite period and continued as the religious language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church until the present time and the literary language of Christian Ethiopia until the 19th century. The chapter lists the phonological changes that took place in the Aksumite period in the consonant and vowel systems of Geez, the main ph…
The first person prefixes in South Ethio-Semitic
South Ethio-Semitic (SES) is a genealogical branch of Ethio-Semitic (ES), a subgroup of Semitic found almost entirely in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The paper considers two features characteristic of several South Ethio-Semitic languages. Firstly, the Prefix Conjugation displays a common 1 sg/ 1 pl prefix in various SES languages. Secondly, an innovative 1 pl suffix is often employed in the Prefix Conjugation. In forms with 1 sg/ 1 pl syncretism, this …

New Readings and Interpretations on the Inscribed Stele from Ḥənzat (HS1)
In 1974 the renowned Ethiopianist Lanfranco Ricci inspected the site of Ḥǝnzat in central Tǝgray. Inter alia, he inspected and photographed a stele with a lengthy inscription. In 2014, Yohannes Gebre Selassie published an article on an inscription which he labelled HS1, and which he believed to be a second inscription on a stele found in Ḥǝnzat. However, close inspection reveals that HS1 is the same stele which Ricci saw and described. The contri…

An Old Amharic poem from northern Ethiopia
This article presents a publication and translation (with linguistic and philological commentaries) of a recently discovered piece of Old Amharic poetry, possibly dating to the first half/middle of the seventeenth century. The published text bears the titleMärgämä kəbr("Condemnation of glory"), but its content differs from that of several other Old Amharic poems (not entirely independent from each other) known under the same title. It is only the…

Arabic influences on Tigre
Tigre, an Ethio-Semitic language spoken in Eritrea by a predominantly Muslim population, is known to have remained in intensive contact with Arabic since at least the nineteenth century. In the present article we attempt to survey the lexical and grammatical features of Tigre which are potentially attributable to Arabic influence. The genealogical proximity of Arabic and Ethio-Semitic complicates the task, as borrowed features and common retentio…

The catalogue of semantic shifts as a database for lexical semantic typology
This paper presents an overview of a project that aims at creating a representative catalogue of crosslinguistically recurring semantic shifts in the languages of the world and at implementing this catalogue in the form of a searchable computer database. Such a catalogue is useful in several theoretical and methodological respects. First of all, both universal and language-specific semantic shifts can be considered a window onto human cognitive m…
Word Order in Epigraphic Gǝ’ǝz
The paper offers the results of analysis of word order throughout the epigraphic corpus of Gǝʿǝz. This evidence is mostly in agreement with the data from Classical Gǝʿǝz and confirms that early Gǝʿǝz represents the classical Semitic type of a right-branching language: objects and prepositional phrases mostly follow the verbs, and relative clauses and genitive complements usually follow the head nouns. At the same time, some differences between th…
Towards a Comprehensive Edition of the Arabic–Ethiopic Glossary of al-Malik al-Afḍal, Part II
In Aethiopica 16, the first part of new readings from the al-Malik al-Afḍal’s 14th-century Arabic–Ethiopic Glossary was published. The present paper offers the results of analysis of the second sheet of the Glossary and contains all identifications which differ from those offered by Franz-Christof Muth. For the 53 entries from the second sheet of the Glossary, whose identification in Muth’s publication is either missing altogether or not sufficie…
Towards a Comprehensive Edition of the Arabic-Ethiopic Glossary of al-Malik al-Afḍal Part I
The paper presents the preliminary results of a thorough palaeographic and etymological analysis of the first sheet of the al-Malik al-Afḍal’s 14th century Arabic–Ethiopic Glossary, undertaken by the team of Russian scholars in the framework of a project on edition and publication of the whole Glossary. The results are compared with the identifications offered recently by Franz-Christoph Muth. For the 34 entries from the first sheet of the Glossa…
Towards a Comprehensive Edition of the Arabic–Ethiopic Glossary of al-Malik al-Afḍal. Part III
In Aethiopica 16 and 17, the first and the second sheets of the al-Malik al-Afḍal’s fourteenth-century Arabic–Ethiopic Glossary have been analysed. The present paper offers the results of the analysis of the third—and last—sheet of the Glossary and contains all identifications which differ from those offered by F.-C. Muth in his pioneering article. This amounts to 74 entries from the third sheet of the Glossary, whose identification in Muth’s pub…
On some poorly known or unrecognized verbal categories in Soqotri
The article deals with two hitherto unexplored—to some extent, even unknown—verbal categories of the Modern South Arabian language Soqotri (Island of Soqotra, Gulf of Aden, Yemen), namely the “old imperative” and the n -conditional. Research material is taken from both the early publications of the Austrian expedition and the authors’ own field materials recently collected on the island. It is demonstrated that both categories have survived up to…
