Abstract
Complementization strategies in ancient and modern Semitic languages include the use of complementizers formed from a common element k- (Modern Hebrew kī, Akkadian kīma, Ugaritic k(y), Ge’ez kama). These conjunctions, which typically cover a wider semantic range beyond complementation, are generally assumed to derive ultimately from a common Semitic comparative particle (Deutscher 2000).
