Reconstructions

PC
*ˀabbīr-/*ˀabīr- - strong, mighty (Kogan 2015: 276)
PC
*ˀVby-ān- - poor (Kogan 2015:276)
PC
*ˀdm - to be red (Bulakh 2006a: 196‒203; Kogan 2011: 199; Kogan 2015: 277)
PC
*ˀadam- - man, person; people, mankind (Kogan 2015: 278)
retention from PWS, but a rather specific one – note in particular the individual meaning “man, person,” unattested anywhere else in Semitic
PC
*ˀadān- - lord (Kogan 2015: 279)

likely represents an extension of a Lallwort for “father,” still preserved in Ugaritic as ˀad
hard to decide whether the element *ˀad- is an independent Canaanite formation or an early loanword from a non-Semitic source, cf. Hit. atta- (Friedrich 38), Hur. attai (Laroche 63), Sum. ad(-da) (PSD A₃ 9, with several orthographic variants). At any rate, both the extension in -ān- and the (presumably derived) meaning “lord” must be regarded as PC innovations (Garbini 1984:94). Although one cannot exclude that *-ān- is an adaptation of the Hurrian determinate form attani (cf. Sanmartín 1977:271)

PC
*ˀdr - to be great, strong, magnificent (Kogan 2015: 280)
Cf. perhaps Tna. ˀaddärä ‘to heap up, to amass, to collect’ (TED 1530), which would point to PWS *ˀdr ‘to be massive.’ In DRS 10, PC *ˀdr is compared to Arb. ˀudrat- ‘scrotal hernia’
PC
*ˀhb - to love (Kogan 2015: 280)
The combination of ˀ and h as root consonants, nearly impossible in Semitic verbal roots (Greenberg 1950:168), makes one think of a secondary origin for one of the gutturals. An extension of the biconsonantal element *ˀb ‘to wish, to desire’ is thus possible (with DRS 10). Cf., alternatively, Arb. hbb ‘to groan before copulation (a buck),’ tentatively compared to Hbr. ˀhb in Zaborski 1971:65. The root does not seem to be attested in Aramaic
PC
*ˀmṣ - to be strong (Kogan 2015: 281)
Cf. perhaps (with DRS 23) Arb. ˀmḍ ‘to be strongly resolved’ It is also tempting to compare Akk. emēṣu ‘to be hungry’, assuming the meaning shift “strength” > “hardship, hunger” illustrated by Akk. dannatu ‘hunger’ < dannu ‘hard, strong’
PC
*ˀān- - vigor, wealth (BDB 19; Kogan 2015: 282)
As suggested in BDB 19 (contrast DRS 12‒13) - probably related to Arb. ˀwn ‘to be at ease, to enjoy a life of ease and tranquility; to be grave, steady, calm’. Gez. taˀayyana ‘to live well and comfortably’ must belong to the same root
PC
*ˀVny(-at)- - ship (HALOT 70, CDG 410, Fronzaroli 1966‒1967: 212, 1972: 627, Kogan 2015: 282)

meaning shift “vessel” > “ship,” abundantly documented elsewhere in the world’s languages, could be considered exclusively Canaanite, but cf. Arb. mīnāˀ- ‘port’, plausibly derivable from *mi-ˀnāw- (v. Maizel 1983:231). For numerous Indo-European precedents v. Buck 1949:727. In Semitic, cf. Hbr. kəlī ‘vessel; ship, boat’
