Subject: Studies on cognates of Arabic words in other Semitic languages

Hello all --
	This is related to the topic (but perhaps from a less serious research point of view).  I have been working as a hobby on an artificial (aka constructed) language that is a mix of Arabic and Hebrew (a sort of Semitic esperanto I named Semiti/Semitish).  The core vocabulary of this language relies on cognates, borrowings  and relatable forms in Arabic and Hebrew. The dictionary includes around 1,700 terms.  An early sample of the dictionary is online together with a phrase book (see http://www.palisra.com/).  More work on this (including phonology, morphology  and syntax descriptions) is ongoing and I hope to make it all publicly available when it is ready.  

regards,
Nizar
