The adverb is also a cognate with the Akkadian / Old Babylonian _kīma,_ or so I'd say anyway. Just throwing it out there, as there never are too many cognates.
@@leykunbirhanu6135 it seems to me that Gəᶜəz ሰ corresponds to Arabic seen (س), while Gəᶜəz ሠ _used to_ correspond to Arabic (ش), but it lost the phoneme, hence Amharic curiously developing ሸ to approximate the latter. As for θ, from the Musnad script we know that corresponds to Arabic (ض), and I have a video on how that may have been pronounced in the past: th-cam.com/video/sXIn1wv6oM8/w-d-xo.html

Thanks. That addition is much appreciated, as I’m wholly unfamiliar with Akkadian.
Thanks
Fantastic Ge'ez video, as usual.
Thank you for the kind words. I plan to have a couple more Geᶜez related videos in the near future.
I am very confused at the pronouncation of some Ge'ez letters especially ሰ and ሠ, ጸ and ፀ.
