Abstract

This research is an ambitious step towards the production of a comparative semantic glossary of linguistic roots in Semitic languages. It is a comparative study of the semantics of the root (ARP) as a verbal participant in Semitic languages (field of study). The research has revealed an amazing richness for this root with semantic predicates and suggestive values that are rarely found in another linguistic root.  Classical Arabic has the largest share of this semantic richness, followed by Syriac, Hebrew, Southern Persian, and Gejazian. This root represents, in some of its semantic predicates, a Semitic joint at the level of semantics. It is also represented in nine indications or signs. The rest of the semantic predicates has been distributed among the Semitic languages (the field of study) in the form of special indications or signs for each language separately. The classical Arabic has proved richness in these special signs or indications in comparison with the other languages (languages of study), followed by Syriac, Hebrew and the other languages as detailed in the research.
