The Origin of *S3 in the Ḥaḍramitic and Modern South Arabian Third Person Feminine Personal Pronouns
The modern South Arabian third person feminine pronouns show an unexpected reflex s for Proto-Semitic *s1.

| Summary: | The modern South Arabian third person feminine pronouns show an unexpected reflex s for Proto-Semitic *s1. This s is argued to be the regular outcome of *s3 = *ts, which replaced *s1 = *s in these forms due to phonological reanalysis in constructions like *malkat sī’ ‘she is a queen’ ^ *malkat tsī’. In Ḥaḍramitic, these feminine pronouns also reflect *s3, but their relation to the Modern South Arabian forms remains unclear. |
