Semitic Words in Greek
#1
Back in 2013, Jerker Blomqvist took the time to list the words which even the most Eurocentric linguists agree were borrowed from a Semitic language into Mycenean or Classical Greek. Since not everyone reads Greek, I have his list with a transliteration and definition on my blog.

(Most linguists would add a dozen or two other words, but not necessarily the same ones as the next linguist; these are the words which three recent book from different schools of thought agree on).
Nullis in verba

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
