Abstract This paper describes a group of kin terms in Landuma (a Mel language spoken in northwestern Guinea) which have a non-standard phonological structure: they begin with the consonant cluster NC. It is shown that the anomalous properties of these nouns can be explained via their origin: all of them are borrowed from Mande. In Western Mande languages, nouns for elder kin are also anomalous in that they are often unable to adjoin a definite or referential article. It has been suggested previously that this anomaly could be explained by the presence of an archaic nasal prefix, a grammatical marker of elder kin. At the same time, such a nasal prefix is not attested in any modern Mande language. Two hypotheses can be advanced on the origin of the initial nasal element in the anomalous Landuma nouns. According to the first, this element goes back to a nasal prefix reconstructed for nouns referring to elder kin in Mande. If so, the Landuma data can be regarded as an argument for the relatively recent disappearance of this prefix in Mande (i.e., subsequent to the start of close contact between speakers of Proto-Landuma and speakers of Proto- Manding and Proto-Susu). Alternatively, the nasal element can be regarded as a reinterpreted Mande 1SG pronoun ń which, in its possessive function, appears frequently with kin terms. It cannot be excluded that both sources may have been relevant.

In this paper, we present the first section of a comprehensive thesaurus of Proto-Afrasian zoonyms, compiled and reconstructed by the authors. The list contains more than a hundred names of ungulates, including bovids, pigs, equids and camels, as well as large herbivores (elephants, hippopotamuses and rhinoceroses), allowing for a wholesome (at the current level of our knowledge) picture of these species of fauna in the period preceding the split of Proto-Afrasian (ca. 11th millennium BCE, according to glottochronology) within the area presumably inhabited by speakers of Proto-Afrasian. The results of the reconstruction may be interpreted in favor of two different points of view on the localization of the ProtoAfrasian homeland, namely, the Levant vs. East Africa; the paper presents arguments both in favor of and against each of these hypotheses.

Hittite is a heavily transivitizing language, and there are several morphological markers of causativisation in Hittite. Two of them, namely suffixes - nu - and - ahh -, were productive in the history of Hittite. Other markers are either no longer productive or primarily not causative. In Old Hittite - nu - and - ahh - still had some kind of complementary distribution, although there already was some overlapping, but in Middle and especially New Hittite these markers became nearly interchangeable. The coexistence of - nu - and - ahh - derivatives from the same bases can be attributed, at least partially, to an imperfect knowledge of Hittite by Luwian scribes.
赫梯语是一种严重及物化的语言,在赫梯语中有几个因果关系的形态学标记。其中的两个,即后缀- nu -和- ahh -,在赫梯语的历史上产生过。其他标记要么不再产生作用,要么基本上没有致病作用。在古赫梯语中,nu -和- ahh -仍然有某种互补的分布,尽管已经有一些重叠,但在中赫梯语,特别是新赫梯语中,这些标记几乎可以互换。“- nu -”和“- ahh -”这两个衍生词的共存源于相同的词根,这至少可以部分归因于卢维文文士对赫梯语的不完全了解。
