Major language reform or linguistic assimilation are the two most likely causes of the kind of change you're talking about. Hebrew is a good example as Yitzik mentioned. Honestly, most Semitic languages stay true to form and find all kinds of neat ways of expanding their lexicon without departing from their root systems. Language, however, is dynamic, and anything is possible. --- In westasianconlangs@yahoogroups.com, "habarakhe4" <Anthony.Miles@c...> wrote: > > Is there a path by which a Semitic or Semitic-patterned language could change away from the > holding pattern?
