.@caitlinrgreen @michaeldpress can you please mention the names of those island.
Uist, Hebrides etc all prob Proto-Semitic in origin, is thought :) Will make a map with them on :)
yes,you told me before about isle of Rum.Are there other historians agree with you?Do you have an article about this subject?
Yes, number of place-name specialists reached conclusion incl Richard Coates (ref in Thanet blogpost + now Nomina 2012) :)
thanks, Is there any explanation about how those isles aquaird Proto-Sematic names?
Punic links noted, but my post is so far only attempt to link archaeology w/ the names :) Will write article at some point :)
as you know Punic language is Sematic,not Proto Sematic, so if the names are PS the contact must be older than w/ Punic.
.@caitlinrgreen isn't better to consider the names of those Scottish isles Sematic,& were distorted by time?
