It also helps that Dr. Garaoun is a very good specialist of Berber linguistics, so he knows what he’s doing from that point of view, while many others just gathered words from Berber dictionaries
Show PostToponymic evidence has been adduced before, but no systematic study of this type had been carried out and, as far as I know, there was no study of body parts in toponomy before. So what’s new is not the presence of evidence, but how conclusive the evidence is if you look at it systematically
Show PostThe idea that it's Berber is very old (I suppose already 19th C., not sure -- certainly there in the works by Rössler, which he wrote in the early 1940s parallel to antisemitic hate pamphlets)
Show Postequation and thus we can conclude that the scepticism about its being Berber was unfounded. Much of the older materials have a very complicated history and transmission, so some of the non-Berber-looking stuff may simply be due to that
