It is based methodologically on the comparative method of historical linguistics, using sound correspondences as major device for the identification of cognates. This almost-finished study was left by the author upon his untimely death in 2008 and was typographically reworked by the editor. %K linguistic reconstruction, Afrasian, comparative method, sound correspondences, genetic classification %G English
