	Whenever possible, words are re-derived from Proto-Semitic (PS), through Proto-Central-Semitic (PCS), to a form we can use. However, there are a great many roots which have diverged in meaning wildly over the last 3,000 years. Modern words – even if borrowed from English or some other language – are to be preferred over picking sides in a divergent bit of vocabulary. This can extend even to the Maltese level, of appropriating outside vocabulary as if it were a triliteral root.
