• Resumen

  • After summarizing the state of research concerning the grammatical and lexical forms of Phoenician-Punic, this study presents seventeen recently identified Greek loanwords in Phoenican-Punic inscriptions. These loanwords are considered as evidence of Phoenician orthographic practice in representing foreign words and are examined synoptically with respect to their morphology, considering the word stem, suffixes, and representation or non representation of Greek case endings or other derivational suffixes. The study concludes with an estimate of the frequency of Greek loans in the Phoenician-Punic corpus
