List of Proto-Semitic stems
- List of Proto-Semitic stems
This is a list of Proto-Semitic stems (triconsonantal roots and extensions) with their reflexes in several Semitic languages (i.e. actually-pronounced forms with vowels, as opposed to Semitic pure consonantal roots). Only stems attested in Akkadian, or with cognates in other Afro-Asiatic groups, can be confidently included in Proto-Semitic; others must be placed in West Semitic. There is some controversy in Semitic linguistics over the sibilants' pronunciation (see Proto-Semitic, Shin (letter)).

Proto-West-Semitic Stems
This is a list of cognates for which no Akkadian cognate is known or attested.
