Indo-Semito-Camalic, sometimes referred to as Noahic, is a proposed family conjectured by some Lõisian linguists, including the Indo-European, Semitic, Egyptian and Camalic languages.
A comprehensive Proto-Indo-Semito-Camalic grammar, including a few fables, was sketched by the linguist and mathematician [name]. He also proposed a much older macrofamily linking Paleo-Iranian languages, Corded Ware languages and Harappan. Though this older macrofamily is not taken seriously by contemporary linguists, it influenced [conlanger]'s Elvish languages.
Phonology
Two series of stops (a third, ejective series was created from clusters with glottal stops)
Grammar
Proto-Indo-Semito-Camalic didn't have grammatical gender; gender evolved separately in the three branches.
Verbs had prefix conjugations and suffix conjugations like PSem or Lõisian PIE.
Proposed roots
- 1st person *n
- 2nd person *t
- demonstrative/relativizer *s (PIE só/swe; PSem *šuʔa)
- relativizer *y ~ genitive/adjectival *-i (IE: *yos/*-yo-; Semitic: genitive *-i, nisba *-iyy-)
- demonstrative *D (PIE *tód, Semitic *ðū)
- causative *-y- (PIE *-éyeti, Semitic root extensions with 3rd root letter *y)
- nominalizer *-t (PIE *-tís/-tús, Semitic feminine *-t)
- ISC *med ~ medʔ -> *PIE *med- 'to measure' ~ PSem *m-d-d 'to measure'
- ISC *widq -> *PIE *weyd- 'to see' ~ PSem *(y/w)-d-ʕ 'to know'
- ISC *sek ~ sekw ~ seky -> *PIE *sekʷ- 'to see' ~ PSem *s-k-y 'to foresee'
- ISC *x̣iw -> *PIE *h₂yew- 'to live' ~ PSem *ħ-y-w 'to live'
- ISC *wer ~ werʔ -> *PIE *wer- 'to fear' ~ PSem *(y/w)-r-ʔ 'to fear'
- ISC *kʔum -> *PIE *gʷem- 'to come' ~ PSem *q-(w)-m 'to rise'
- ISC *buʔ -> *PIE *bʰuH- 'to be' ~ PSem *b-(w)-ʔ 'to come'
- ISC *ʔil -> *PIE *h₁el- 'deer, elk' ~ PSem *ʔayyal- 'stag, hart'
- PIE *táwros 'bull' ~ PSem *θawr-
- ISC *ɣel -> *PIE *h₂el- 'grow, nourish; beyond, other' ~ PSem *ʕalay 'upon', *ʕ-l-y 'to rise'
- PIE *sweḱs '6' ~ PSem *šidþ-
- PIE *septṃ '7' ~ PSem *šabʕ-
Sound correspondences
- PIE h₁/y ~ PSem y (e.g. dual -oh₁ in PIE ~ -aym in PSem, PIE *h₁es ~ PSem *yiθ, PIE *h₁oynos originally from a 3sg pronoun ~ PSem *ya- 3sg prefix)
