Abstract
This paper aims to clarify the relationship between the superficially similar direct object markers attested in Modern South Arabian, Ge’ez, Arabic, Aramaic, Samalian, Hebrew, and Phoenician. I argue that the direct object markers in Aramaic and the Canaanite languages derive from a single innovative form, which I reconstruct as *ʾayāt-. I further claim that the remaining forms are unrelated.
