This study is the first attempt to reconstruct the prehistory of Arabic by examining lexical evidence of its symbiotic relationship with Ancient Egyptian already apparent from the Pyramid Texts (c. 2613-2181 BC). It documents the contention that Ancient Egypt was a strategic site in its early prehistory.

Autorenporträt
Alexander Borg is Professor Emeritus at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. After studying linguistics at the University of Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania) he obtained a Ph.D. (summa cum laude) in Arabic dialectology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In the course of an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation fellowship he was granted the Habilitation at the University of Erlangen and held further Humboldt research fellowships at the Freie Universität Berlin, and the universities of Freiburg, Heidelberg, and Leipzig. In 1983 he co-founded the Mediterranean Language Review with Prof. Paul Wexler, and the Arabic Language and Literature Series with Prof. Sasson Somekh, both published by Harrassowitz (Wiesbaden). His research focus on diachronic and cognitive aspects of the diaspora Arabic lexicon, e.g. in Cyprus (Comparative Glossary of Cypriot Maronite Arabic, 2004), Malta, Al-Andalus, and the Negev, culminated in the discovery of prehistoric traces of spoken Arabic in Ancient Egyptian (WZKM 2019).
