Well, I have a Dictionary of Later Latin which identifies a number of words,
mainly botanical, as being of Punic origin and I've made use of some online
materials for Punic that I've found here and ther, but mostly I have used
biblical Hebrew and fudged it by letting a badger muss up the vowels!


Surely an intro to Semitic lgx, or at least to Phoenician,
would contain something on the differences between Phoenician
or even Punic and Hebrew?  If you like I can use my uni lib
account and look around, if you have trouble coming by such
stuff. FWIW I once read that Punic came to use the letters
for 'laryngeals' -- probably /? h X\ ?\/ -- as vowels quite
early, probably because those sounds were lost.

I just checked Googlobooks and found some interesting items:

I also found the following goodies in my uni lib's catalog:

The Krahmalkov book is unfortunately reading-room only.

The Segert book can be taken home, though, and it got a
favorable review on gbooks, stating that there is comparison
with Hebrew throughout.
