| Description | The review article of the monograph of American anthropologist and Africanist Harold Fleming is devoted to the enigmatic isolate discovered by Fleming in the Southwest of Ethiopia in the beginning of nineties. On the basis of his description he tries to demonstrate the Afroasiatic affiliation of this moribund language. In the review article the alternative solution of the reviewer, connecting it with the Nilo-Saharan macrophylum, is presented. |
