Notes

Proto-MSA *kV- 'with' (SEDonline 1452). From PS *kV 'like, as', with a shift from comparative to comitative, cf. Gez. məsla 'with' < məsl (*miṯl-) 'likeness, similarity' (Kogan 2015:559 apud SEDonline 1452). Arakelova (2001:17–18, 51) leaves open whether it develops the comparative meaning or is a homonym (SEDonline 1452). Cf. 3266 *kV 'like, as, in the manner of'.
