Are these the Emegali names for the paradigms? I can't remember... is
Emegali a Semitic conlang with a 'grand master plan', or is it just
supposed to be very Semitic-like?

1. Btw, these name aren't universal, they fit only Hebrew! Arabic, for
instanse, has different names based on their own affixes and vocalizations!
Anthony, you'll need your own names badly, otherwise you should use
Proto-Semitic equivalents...
2. What about other passive binyanim like Hof`al and Pu`al?

I can't remember hearing a Semitic
root LGL 'rule' before (it sounds to me more like a variant of Hebrew GLL
'roll'), but it looks like the English word "legal".

I think Anthony learned Hebrew in a Bible college using either P.Kelly or
Th.Lamdin textbooks. They both use this strange order in paradigms. People
say, this is a traditional order among Semitologists, but I find it
confusing too...

This reminds me more of the Pi`eil (intensive) semi-productive causative
sub-paradigm "Shif`eil", ex. ShHhRR "to free" (from HhRR(? maybe HhRH)
"free", ShKPL "to clone" from KPL "double".

I think it's smth Accadian...
<<Very cool!>>
I second it!
<<But is there no definite article?>>
It's strange for me too...

If you're basing this off of a 'grand master plan' from Proto-Semitic,
please tell me where i can get the info you have! This is making me want
to work on my Unnamed Semitic Conlang! :-)
