Shared Berber-Semitic C₁vC₂C₂vC₃ pattern for (intensive mostly in Sem.) adjectives. (Wonderful tentative example Lipiński : /ṭubbūẖu/ ⟨Ṭù-bù-ẖu-d’À-da⟩ “Very slaughterous is Hadda” in Palaeosyrian). Berber ex. ''a-məlləl'' “white”, ''a-wəssar'' “old” - Assyro-Babylonian ''qattanu'' “very small” (match with Egypt. ''ktt''?? “little one” maybe) | |||
