What's wrong with _sapere_? Although this unique (I think) retention of
scio would be noteworthy. Any Berber influence? If this is taking place
around Augustine's time, don't forget the Vandals. Also, pre-Islamic, so
probably no vast Arabic influence for a while. Do we know the ethnic make
up of the native North Africans? Phoenician + Berber, or what?
